More About This Event
A Country House Reborn, learn about the rise and fall of country homes
Nevill Holt is first and foremost a family home, but it also embodies the story of ‘The English Country House’ in general; its evolution, its changing role in society, and how it has had to adapt to survive.
By exploring its architectural and social history (from its medieval origins and Elizabethan and Victorian alterations to its decline in the 20th century), in this live podcast recording ‘The Country House Podcast’ team will look at the rise and fall of the English country house through the lens of Nevill Holt… and celebrate the rebirth of this extraordinary home in recent years.
