British Antiques Roadshow
Kendal (#2609)
Michael Aspel introduces the programme walking the Lakeland fells eating some Kendal Mint Cake. Kendal Castle was the birthplace of Katherine Parr - Henry VIII's lucky sixth wife and we have views of the Castle and surroundings. Kendal Museum holds a number of artifacts belonging to the late hill walker and writer Alfred Wainwright who was also honorary curator of the museum for many years. Items include his old office desk, trademark pipe and well darned socks. [29 minutes]
This episode has not aired in the past few months on Iowa Public Television.
Series Description: For 23 years British Antiques Roadshow has attracted UK audiences in excess of 13 million a week. Always filmed on location, local residents numbering in the thousands pour in clutching personal treasures for the chance to discover their true value. They may have been handed down through generations, discovered in dusty attics or picked up in junk shops, but all items are examined, commented on and valued by the Roadshow experts.
