We Revealed a 112-Year-Old Treasure........

This week on Life at the Manor, it's another busy week at Chavenage as we juggle the never-ending challenge of looking after a historic estate. The episode begins with an update on what's been happening behind the scenes before an unexpected discovery stops us in our tracks... hidden away on the estate is an incredible 1914 Renault, with a remarkable connection to Chavenage's past. Over 100 years ago, the estate was home to what is believed to have been the very first Renault in Gloucestershire, and seeing this piece of motoring history return is something truly special. But that's only half the story. I then head to Ragley Hall for The Game Fair, one of the biggest countryside events in the UK, to discover how some of Britain's greatest estates are adapting to survive in the 21st century. From opening their gates to visitors and events, to creating new income streams, what can estates like Chavenage learn for the future? Running a historic estate has never been more challenging, but perhaps the answers are already out there. If you enjoy country houses, history, farming, restoration and seeing what life is really like behind the scenes of a lived-in stately home, we'd love to have you along for the journey. musicbed Lisence code : MB016JISIQMY6LS Thanks for watching Life at the Manor!
