I LOVE HISTORY HIT and use it for a lot of my ROYAL history research!

-----------------------

Not only is Beaulieu home to the National Motor Museum, but also to the extraordinary ruins of Beaulieu Abbey, which date back to the foundation of the monastery here in the thirteenth century. The more I visit historic houses around Britain, the more I realise how many of them have monastic roots. In this episode, Lord Montagu guides me around some of the surviving buildings and shows me the exquisite wall hangings, stitched by his mother, which chart the history of the abbey. I also explore a hidden part of the Beaulieu estate where the well used by the monks still survives today. And I end my visit at the newly restored ice house – a glimpse back to the days when historic houses functioned more like life in the tv series, Downton Abbey.

If you love classic cars, you’ll love this episode. In this second instalment of my visit to Beaulieu in Hampshire - I explore the National Motor Museum, founded in 1952 by the present Lord Montagu’s father and home to the most spectacular collection of vintage cars charting the history of motoring. During my visit I also explore the autojumble sale.
