Stunning model of Longleat House goes back on display

A stunning scale model of Longleat House has been painstakingly restored after being broken up into more than 50 separate pieces.
The intricate 1:25 model, which was originally commissioned by the 6th Marquess of Bath, first went on display at the Wiltshire stately-home in March 1989.
However it was dismantled into over 50 individual pieces and put into storage when the building it was in, the Estate’s former game larder, underwent renovations in 2012.
Now, almost exactly 30 years to the day, it is back on show to visitors.
The restoration of the scale model was overseen by Kim Ward, a former apprentice of Jordi Fontanals, who built the original model.
