In this special episode, Julie Montagu, Viscountess Hinchingbrooke visits the lost family ancestral home – Hinchingbrooke House in Cambridgeshire. Julie is fascinated by the history of the house – from its monastic roots to royal visits and nearly 350 years of Montagu family history. After the Second World War, like so many other historic homes, the upkeep of the building was too great and the family had to leave Hinchingbrooke. Julie’s father-in-law, the 11th Earl of Sandwich and his sister Lady Kate Hunloke revisit their early childhood home - now a school - and share their memories with Julie.
