Trent Park House: A Century of Secrets

Trent Park's fascinating story is told for the first time in one dramatic narrative, with the spotlight on its key 20th century 'lives' and the stand-out characters and unsung heroines who played on its stage.

An inter-war salon and playground for the titled, rich and powerful, overseen by millionaire, politician and socialite Sir Philip Sassoon; a wartime prison camp with a covert mission rivalling Bletchley Park in importance for the Allied war effort; and an urgent new peacetime purpose involving generations of young people. We meet the woman who lived through all three.

With a century and more of rich history, Trent Park is an important part of our national story. Its secrets, held close for decades, are now brought into the light.
