Antiques Roadshow UK 37x13 Durham Cathedral (2015)

The Antiques Roadshow visits Durham Cathedral, a place of pilgrimage for almost a thousand years, where treasures include a sweetheart brooch linked to the Grenadier Guards, a giant Victorian penknife and secret documents that offer new information about the D-Day landings. Jewellery specialist Joanna Hardy admires a sweetheart brooch associated with the Grenadier Guards and hears how its owner bought it in a hospice shop - and has a generous plan to use it to raise more funds for the charity. A young boy with an interest in military history shares the story of his grandfather's courageous service as a navigator in the RAF, and the owners of two portraits by Norman Cornish, an artist who documented life in the pit communities, discover surprising connections between their families and paintings. Specialist Paul Atterbury is intrigued by a set of secret documents that relate to the D-Day landings in 1944, they include alternative codewords for the critical operation that may never have been previously revealed. There's a also a giant pestle and mortar once used to pound herbs and spices in a grand country house kitchen, a coachman's knife with a tool for every occasion and a vintage sunlamp bought from a charity shop on the way to the Roadshow itself.

I enjoy these shows so much more the the American version. They are so much more about the people and history of the items, than the worth.

Durham cathedral is such a special place I used to visit in the 70s with my grandmother who used to love rowing on the river underneath the shadow of the cathedral. So many happy memories, thanks for posting

I found a pendant with the head of medusa in the woods in Hanau.

Anyone know if the D-Day paperwork in the last story changed history?

[@maeve4686]

Another know it all authority. These mineral samples grow into these shapes over the course of millions of years. They're not "... cut and they break into these geometric shapes ". That's what you get when a person who know "rocks" into cut & shaped forms for jewelery. 😅...

[@catofthecastle1681]

It’s better than know-it-alls who watch these just to complain!

[@maeve4686]

There arent " owls" in the tundra. They're Penguins...😅

[@markboon341]

Penguins live in Antarctica and as far north as south Africa, so they may be arctic or snowy owls

[@catzkeet4860]

Why on earth would anyone in a country house kitchen be gathering herbs "from the wild" when ALL country houses had large and prolific herb gardens?

[@markboon341]

To keep the costs down. Also you can't grow everything, dependant on the soil

[@7ofthem]

Some you can best find growing in the wild , there’s many a herb / plant that is foraged .

look at his mouth and listen. Does not match up.
