South Wraxall Manor

Easton Neston
Cruickshank visits Easton Neston in Northamptonshire, a spectacular English Baroque country home.

Episode 4 • May 23, 2011
Wentworth Woodhouse
Cruickshank explores Wentworth Woodhouse in Yorkshire, one of the largest private homes in Europe. With more than 300 rooms, the house is so vast that experts cannot agree on the exact number of rooms. Grown of a bitter family rivalry, Wentworth Woodhouse is so large it houses a secret: it is two houses in one. But damage from the aggressive post-World War II coal mining on the estate is threatening the structural foundation of Wentworth Woodhouse.
