Hosted by Violet Manners — Viscountess Garnock (née Lady Violet Manners) — this series explores the lives of those shaped, influenced or quietly drawn towards heritage. Some guests grew up inside historic houses, as Violet did.Some work behind the scenes preserving them.Others simply fell in love with old places and found that fascination shaping the course of their lives. These are conversations about ambition, memory, risk, family and belonging — with heritage woven throughout. Because heritage is never just about buildings. It is about the people drawn to them, shaped by them, and sometimes changed because of them.Copyright 2024 HeritageXplore Arte Ciencias Sociales Mundial

  • Patrick Galbraith on Rewilding, Trail Hunting and the Future of Rural Britain

    Patrick Galbraith on Rewilding, Trail Hunting and the Future of Rural Britain
    Apr 1 2026
    This week on Hidden Heritage, Violet Manners sits down with Patrick Galbraith — writer, journalist and one of the sharpest contemporary voices examining the British countryside.From birds, deer and gamekeeping to land access, farming and the cultural fabric of rural life, Patrick’s work explores the fault lines shaping modern Britain’s landscapes. Together, we trace his story from the landscapes that first formed him to the people who continue to define countryside life today: farmers, stalkers, ghillies, wildfowlers and land managers whose livelihoods remain deeply tied to the land.At the heart of this conversation is the government’s recent announcement to ban trail hunting, a decision that has sent shockwaves through many rural communities. Violet and Patrick unpack what this means not only politically, but culturally: for hunts, hounds, land management, jobs, tradition, and the wider sense that many countryside voices feel increasingly unheard in national debates.The conversation also explores the wider “countryside wars” unfolding across Britain: rewilding, illegal species releases, deer management, collapsing rural industries, food resilience, and whether Britain’s real challenge is not access to nature, but meaningful engagement with it.This is a conversation about heritage in its truest sense: not nostalgia, but the living relationship between people, place and the skills that shape the land.A thoughtful, provocative and deeply grounded episode on what rural Britain is becoming — and what may yet be lost.

    Mar 25 2026
    Filming & Events in Historic Houses: What It Really Involves Filming and large-scale events can provide historic houses with vital income and global visibility.

This is the first podcast I’ve listened to and I really enjoyed it. I’ve always enjoyed British history and to hear about these historic homes from the women who live there is a delightful glimpse into the past and the present. I enjoyed the interviewer and interviewee. They were charming.

Anyone who's a fan of Downton Abbey knows the work it takes to run a great place but this podcast brought out more than I had ever thought about what it takes. It's so very interesting & I can't wait for the next episode. I love how the Duchess & her friends seem to be so down to earth & even funny. I've always wondered what it would be like to literally live among your predecessors (as paranormal phenomena) & try to fill their shoes while making it your own home as well. It must be so hard & thrilling. I love how relaxing it is hearing the Duchess's voice is. It has a calming & relaxing effect on me.

Intriguing & interesting
