Althorp 27

Paul Martin presents from the ancestral home of the Spencer family: Althorp in Northamptonshire. Nineteen generations have lived here, employing local people to work at the house and vast estate. Antiques experts Christina Trevanion and Will Axon find a selection of antiques and collectibles to take to auction. Christina is drawn to a 1950s toy pedal car and Will finds a Mouseman tray. Paul discovers the Grand Union was the canal equivalent of the M1 as he takes to the water on a narrow boat and discovers what life was like for the boat people who ferried cargo from A to B.
