The team pays a visit to Lord Byron's former home, Newstead Abbey in Nottinghamshire. Fiona Bruce and the experts welcome two thousand visitors bringing their family treasures. Objects featured in the programme include a giant dog collar from Victorian days, a collection of early royal relics, rare tiles rescued from a fire, and boxing gloves once used by the young poet Byron. In a remarkable and moving moment, a painting of a strategically important battle in World War Two is brought in by the only man to have survived the conflict depicted.
