Beautiful house having visited yrs ago. The script of the commentary is a little too romantic and reverential......typical of the time the film was made .....
Anyway its a beautiful place .. mention of the pressures and struggles financially to develop the house .Churchill bought it in a poor state and laboured in the following yrs to make it what it is

I don't know anything about the "romantic" aspect; when it comes to "reverential" I think it is common courtesy!
