Adrian Tinniswood: The Houses of Guinness

Adrian returns with another story about buildings and people. This time, it’s the turn of the Guinness family: brewers, philanthropists, and socialites. Their historic homes were some of the most distinctive in Britain and Ireland. At Luggala, Oonagh Guinness welcomed rock stars, artists and actors. At Kelvedon, Honor left her husband “Chips” Channon to run off with the land agent. All this and more in another lively talk!
