Crowcombe 47

Paul Martin is in West Somerset at Crowcombe Court, an English mansion which dates back to 1739. Antiques expert Elizabeth Talbot finds a tribal weapon that was part of a collection gathered by a sea captain on his travels and Thomas Plant hears all about a Victorian gin bottle that was buried in a tip excavated to make way for the London Olympic ground. Paul Martin follows in the footsteps of Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who wrote his best-known work whilst he was living in Somerset.
