The Baronet and Tissington's Fight for Survival

Logo for The Baronet and Tissington's Fight for Survival

Sir Richard FitzHerbert, who lives in the grade 2 listed Tissington Hall in the Peak District National Park, talks to other historic house owners who, like himself, are struggling to balance the books and keep the estate going. At the start of the year, Sir Richard sold furniture, paintings and silver to raise funds. He is the 9th baronet to hold the title and does not want to be the one who has to lose the Hall.
