Brief description
"A glimpse into the recent past and the life of one of Britain's most successful businessmen and car manufacturers - Lord Nuffield. Nuffield Place reveals the surprisingly down-to-earth lives of Lord Nuffield, founder of the Morris Motor Company, and his wife. Their home and personal possessions are just as they left them, the decor and furnishings intact.
From the comfortable sitting room with a small black and white TV, to Lord Nuffield's humble bedroom with a secret built-in workshop, this intimate home exudes the tastes and interests of its remarkable owner.
It is an intimate house set in 9.2 acres of estate, consisting of a house, garden, tearoom and shop."
