Fiona Bruce and the team visit Belton House in Lincolnshire, where items of interest include a piece of cloth bearing the standard of Oliver Cromwell, reportedly snatched from his funeral cortege in 1658. The experts also find a collection of Chairman Mao memorabilia amassed by a teacher during a stay in China, a purse that conceals a tiny pistol, a bronze sculpture of Joan of Arc, jewellery designed by Carl Faberge, and an illustrated page of British wildflowers that could be a genuine work by renowned botanist William Keble Martin
