Yesterday's 'Flog It' was from Blickling Hall. Lord Lothian was an interesting man. He died very young, from the stress of his endeavours for appeasement apparently. Have a good weekend.
Thanks for this BYAM. I shall check that out on iPlayer. On our visit it seemed that Room Guides had been moved round, as they were not answering questions as knowledgeably as the usually do. I was asking about a Coronation Chair in the library, and the guide said she'd been around since the coronation of Edward VII. She definitely didn't look 88. And Edward VIII never had a coronation...
