Producer JULIAN BROWN
'Lord, give me a long and healthy life, and may the roof-repairs fall to my son', is said to be the prayer of all owners of historic houses, 75 per cent of which remain in private hands. At first glance, both homes and owners appear to inhabit a world of untold wealth and splendour. But look behind the public display and you often find families short of cash and faced with bills they cannot pay. Should they sell up, take the millions and run - or should they struggle on for the sake of the family and the nation? Sandi Marshall talks to Viscount Scarsdale of Kedleston Hall and the Fursdons of Fursdon House, and learns some fascinating Home Truths.
