Antiques Roadshow

Castle Ward 1 (42x9)

:

The Roadshow comes from Castle Ward on the shores of Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland, where Fiona Bruce discovers that the architecture of this unusual house has something of a split personality. The visitors to Castle Ward produce an eclectic mix of finds. Irish treasures include a bronze sculpture known as The Leprechaun, a large table traditionally used for displaying the coffin at a wake and a picture of a fireman in action, brought along by Northern Ireland’s first female fire fighter. Treasures from further afield include a Tongan war club that narrowly escaped being chopped up for firewood and a 1960s TV set inspired by the first moon landing.
