A Jacobean manor house that has been home to a primary school, an institute for training domestic servants and bedsit accommodation for spinsters in the past 100 years has undergone a £6m restoration project to restore its architectural and decorative gems.
Boston Manor House in Brentford, west London, has been removed from the national Heritage at Risk register following six years of work by skilled craftspeople based on forensic detective work by historians and specialists to establish period details stretching back 400 years.
