  • Episode 3 - Sennowe Park with Charlie and Virginia Temple-Richards
    Aug 4 2025

    In this third episode of this new podcast, you are welcomed on a miniature grand at Sennowe Park. Here you will find all manner of British architecture, Venetian towers, an Austrian palace, lions, bears, eagles and more, without having even left Norfolk. But, of course, travel is at the heart of Sennowe. Indeed, its builder may have severed his tie with the business that made him rich, yet he preserved its memory in stone forever at Sennowe. Today Sennowe is the home of Charlie and Virginia Temple-Richards, who kindly have welcomed us into their home.
