    10. Historic Houses, Georgian splendour, and a chocolatier's clock obsession with Dr Sarah Burnage

    09/04/2026 | 57 mins.
    Join Dr Helena Cox and TV's archive-bothering man, Gary Brannan, on another journey up the highways and byways of all things arts.

    This week, we are joined by Dr Sarah Burnage, curator at Fairfax House in York, a Georgian townhouse with a world-class collection of eighteenth-century English furniture, clocks, paintings and porcelain.  In this episode, we discuss curating a museum, finding one's niche in a crowded city, and Sarah's route into the profession - as well as the challenge of looking after a load of historic timepieces.

    And if you'd like to know more about Noel Terry's collection, you can find more in the Borthwick Papers podcast.
