Dr Andrew Norman

Synopsis:

Every old house has a story to tell, but that of Dunshay Manor in South Dorset is more facinating than most. Over the years, in this attractive yet unprepossessing house, have lived a number of people who have made significant contributions in fields of architecture (Alice Briwere), medicine (Benjamin Jesty), aircraft design (Leslie Baynes), art (George Spencer Watson and Lucy Kemp Welch) and sculpture (Mary Spencer Watson). Their contributions have been not only of local, but also of national and even international significance. By bringing history to life, Dr Andrew Norman tells of those who have lived, loved, thought, and worked at Dunshay Manor from the twelfth century to the present day.
