Restoration Home

"Restoration Home" sees actress Caroline Quentin meeting the owners of crumbling historic buildings as they try to save them from ruin. Architectural expert Kieran Long and social historian Dr Kate Williams are on hand to piece together the histories of the buildings. In the opening edition, Caroline visits a church in Somerset which was deconsecrated following a flood in 1968, and bought in 2007 by newlyweds hoping to convert it into a three-bedroom home. It premiered on BBC Two in July 2011. Caroline has reported on the progress of projects in "Restoration Home One Year On".
