The mysterious Shugborough Estate is the ancestral home of the Earls of Lichfield. With rumoured connections to the Holy Grail, the 364-hectare (900-acre) classical landscape is peppered with unusual monuments. The fine Georgian mansion house, with magnificent views over riverside garden terraces, features stunning collections of porcelain. Costumed characters work in the servants' quarters and farmstead: doing laundry, cheesemaking, milling, brewing and baking. In these areas the Staffordshire County Museum collections are held including reconstructed chemist shop, tailors' shop, Victorian schoolroom and puppet collection. In addition, the newly restored walled garden grows historic varieties of fruit and vegetables
