The house took priority over everything, even his familyuntil the day when George Seymour, in his golden years, began dressing in black leather and riding powerful motorbikes around the countryside in the company of surprising friends.
For fans of Downton Abbeythe shows creator, Julian Fellowes, called it brilliant, original, and intensely readableThrumpton Hall is a poignant and memorable true story of family.
