Magnificent Monuments
Eight monuments of national historic importance from the enormous neo-classical arch crowning the hilly Shugborough skyline to the delightful Chinese House marking a dramatic entrance to the island garden pepper the grounds .
Among the eight is the notorious Shepherd's Monument (c1748), rumoured to have links to the Holy Grail story. You've seen it on TV, or read about it in the news. Now's your chance to see for yourself the enigmatic folly containing the mysterious code.
Does it hold the key to the location of the Holy Grail? Is it a love poem? What do you think?
