Join Nicholas Merchant, West Yorkshire representative of the Art Fund, who will draw on his expertise in antiques to deliver a convivial weekend exploring some of the great country houses of the Vale of Aylesbury, including those with a link to the renowned Rothschild banking family. A full day is allowed at Waddesdon Manor whose collection of furniture and \'objets d’art\' is one of the finest in the country, reflecting the family’s extraordinary wealth and status. Nicholas will give two talks explaining the family’s history and, more particularly, their role in the development of Waddesdon with his usual wit and verve.Click here for explanation of the footprint symbols
