Join Carl and Dr. MIchael Carter, Senior Properties Historian for English Heritage, to celebrate an English country Christmas.  

Carl and Michael center their discussion on Wrest Park, home to the De Grey family for over 600 years.  In the 19th century, the original house was torn down and a French inspired mansion rose in its place, still surrounded by the 18th century gardens which guests can still see today. 

Michael shares stories of some very special Christmases celebrated at Wrest Park during World War I.  and then takes us back into history to discover the origins of some of our most celebrated traditions from plum pudding to Twelfth Night.
