Visit to Nuffield Place
Nuffield Place - home of a remarkable man
Nuffield Place, north of Henley-on-Thames, reveals the surprisingly down-to-earth lives of Lord Nuffield, founder of the Morris Motor Company, and his wife. Their home and personal possessions are just as they left them - the decor and furnishings intact from the comfortable sitting room with a small black and white TV to Lord Nuffield's humble bedroom with a secret built-in workshop. In an outbuilding is an iron lung he built and then generously supplied some 800 to hospitals. His donations over his lifetime expressed in today's money were enormous. See the National Trust website . The event was arranged by Ian Quarrington on Wednesday 17th June 2015. 150622
