Trent Park's century of secrets unfolds through one dramatic narrative that illuminates its pivotal wartime role and lasting impact
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.
