At a wet and windy Berwick we have made our way to one of the warmer spots in the house - the Gun Room.

Although there aren't any guns here anymore, the room is still impressive, with grand Georgian windows looking out onto a moody Berwick landscape.

Today we discuss contingencies for rainy weddings and how Berwick copes with the rain before Will introduces up to a somewhat bizarre 21st century prop.

This episode is one for those listeners who are interested in the business of Berwick and how Will and Kassidy, new business owners are going about creating structures and systems to make their lives easier.

As ever, if you have any questions for Will and Kassidy please email podcast@berwick-house.com

We are still in the library! In this episode, we take a look at some of the bizarre and wonderful props that we found in the library - from 16th-century calf skin prayer book to elaborate 19th-century plans for the wood-panelled library.

The second part of the episode features a new segment - audience questions, where we take questions submitted to podcast@berwick-house.com - stay tuned for an utterly bizarre story about hog roast and garden shears.

Today we are in the wood-panelled library, a grand old room with hundreds of years of history. We uncover secrets from as far back as the 16th century, whilst also spending some time speaking about when Kassidy first met Will's Dad, over a glass of wine in the library.

A massive shout out to Dale, who travelled across half the country to film this episode - do please watch as well as listen to the episode as it really brings the room to life.

Welcome to Country House Confidential. Today we are in the chapel - a beautiful, 17th-century building with a rich history, located just a stone's throw away from Berwick House.
