Why the National Trust Deserves Our Support - A Day at Polesden Lacey

Join Philip Saunders for a day at the magnificent Polesden Lacey, one of England’s most elegant country estates and a shining example of what the National Trust protects for us all. In this video, I explore the stunning gardens, opulent interiors, and fascinating history of this Edwardian gem—once the home of socialite Margaret Greville. As well as the significance of the House for King George VI and the former Queen Mother. Along the way, I reflect on why the National Trust matters for volunteers and in preserving our heritage, landscapes, and stories for future generations. Whether you’re a history buff, garden lover, or just curious about the Trust’s mission, this visit will show you why it’s high time we support it. Finally I’ll show you some of the facilities and we enjoy a Ploughman’s Lunch in the National Trust cafe! Good value?! tasty?! Together we find out! 👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share your own National Trust favourites in the comments! #PolesdenLacey #NationalTrust #HistoricEngland #CountryHouseTour #SupportTheTrust #ploughmans lunch
