The second of ten programmes in which Arthur Negus revisits places for which he has a special affection.
This week he goes to a home in Gloucestershire described as ' the last manor house to be built in England ' - built in the traditional Cotswold style, but not completed until 1926.
All the furniture in the house was designed by members of the Arts and Crafts Movement inspired by William Morris at the turn of the century, and Arthur Negus 's companion this week is the actor Rodney Bewes , a great enthusiast for the movement and its products.

A seven-part series tracing the origins of our species, presented by Richard Leakey
3: A Human Way of Life
How did our distant ancestors live and work? How did they organise their society? What were they really like? From bones and stones discovered on one of the oldest camp sites in the world, archaeologists have begun to piece together a picture of life 11 million years ago. And in the remote Kalahari desert RICHARD LEAKEY visits one of the few remaining huntergatherer groups left in the world - the ' ! Kung' people, the bushmen of the Kalahari. They live off the land gathering wild plants, hunting wild game, establishing temporary camps in the open, much as our ancestors must have done for millions of years. It's a way of life that provides clues to those patterns of behaviour that ensured the survival, and ultimate success, of our species.

A series of eight personal accounts describing experiences which have changed people's lives. 4: A Strange Partnership
For four years scientist Dr Horace Dobbs followed the comings and goings of a wild dolphin he called Donald. It soon grew into far more than a scientific exercise. When Horace was made redundant, Donald became his symbol of freedom and helped him decide how he would set about making a new start.
'Donald came into my life at a time of crisis. I had to make a decision. He was undoubtedly involved in me making the right choice ...'
