Most of Britain’s heritage is cared for by private owners. Richard and Clarissa talk to Ben Cowell OBE, the Director General of Historic Houses. They discuss the threats to country houses and their safeguarding over the last 50 years, fueled by entrepreneurial owners and fiscal measures.
Ben’s new book The British Country House Revival is published in May 2024.
