Bunny in the Garden with...

33: Desmond MacCarthy


Listen Later

Today Bunny is in the garden with the star of BBC’s hit series ‘Normal for Norfolk’ Desmond MacCarthy.  

Desmond talks about his beloved home, the Dutch gabled Jacobean, flint faced Wiveton Hall and how he has spent his life putting his energies into his family home with just a 250 acre farm to support it. 

The series was the precursor to Clarkson’s Farm, showing just how difficult it is today to raise enough income from farming. Desmond boosted the profile of the house through the tv series and has a café, shop, cottages to let, garden and house tours plus other ventures. Desmond was an engaging star of the tv series, an aristocratic gentleman with certain idiosyncratic tendencies, and hugely characterful eyebrows, and he has the audience on side throughout. 

To see Desmond’s house and garden see Bunny’s YouTube ‘WIVETON HALL - NORMAL FOR NORFOLKS GARDEN.’
