The official about:
UK comedian The Honourable Tom Houghton takes us inside Britain's stately homes, castles and country estates to hear about their local histories, the scandals, the mysteries and occasionally the odd ghost that makes up the fabric of what they are. These are the tales you won't hear in the guidebook.

My thoughts:
This is an easy listen because Tom is genuine and down to earth, getting into history the same way most people do, by laughing at the absurdity of it, and his reactions are priceless. We are introduced to the building, it’s history and occupants in a way that is relatable, fascinating and not complicated.

Tom injects humour into even the darkest of subjects, and it gets pretty dark! The stories of ghosts, torture and battle get a comedy treatment that retains their horror while giving us a giggle.

My rating:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
