On 29 March 1912, as Scott and his two companions lay dying in their tent, elsewhere on the polar ice-cap six members of his ill-fated expedition were fighting for their lives. The six men were landed by Terra Nova in January 1911 at Cape Adare, 450 miles north of Scott's base camp at Cape Evans.

Discover the haunting echoes of the past at Barrington Court, a Tudor manor house lying at the edge of the Somerset levels. Follow in the footsteps of the Lyles as, together with the architect J.E. Forbes, they carefully brought the house back to life and filled it with people and parties and an astonishing collection of salvaged woodwork. Alongside the house are ornamental gardens, originally designed by Gertrude Jekyll and now planted sympathetically to her plans, as well as a large, working kitchen garden and vast orchards producing Somerset cider. This guidebook explores Barringtons hidden history, from the surprising origin of some of its star attractions (a staircase from Scotland, a 16th-century screen from Norfolk), to its starring role in the television series, Wolf Hall, to its continued role as a working estate.
