Hidden Treasures of the National Trust
Season 2 Episode 5 of 6
Saltram House in south Devon was once the country seat of the Parker family, but its 18th-century carpet is in dire need of restoration, leading to a protective re-weave of the original design by Axminster themselves. Cameras also focus on Hughenden Manor, a house in the Chilterns that helped propel Benjamin Disraeli to the peak of power. The once gloriously golden carriage gates that welcomed his guests are in need of restoration, so blacksmith David takes on the daunting task
Hidden Treasures of the National Trust airs on BBC Two Wales HD at 5:50 PM, Saturday 1 February. (Subtitles, repeat.)
