114. Fiona Carnarvon (2019)

1944 at Highclere CastleIn 1944 Highclere Castle was a home for child evacuees; General Patton arrived for lunch in June; whilst two P-38 planes crashed just above the Castle whilst practising for D-Day. The Land Girls and retired estate workers were on the farm and in the kitchen gardens - Dig for Victory was part of the survival plan. Fiona Carnarvon paints a fascinating portrait of an estate at war.
