The Last Squire of Erddig
S4 • E1 Feb 18, 1974 25m
Until last summer seven Yorke's had been Squires of Erddig. Each had added to a unique collection of treasures, begun in the 17th century when the house was built near Wrexham in north-east Wales. But for seven years the present PHILIP YORKE has lived there alone and struggled to prevent the house from collapsing. Had it collapsed, a legend would have vanished with it. In this film he describes the legend and tells how his lifelong dream is soon to be fulfilled.
