Which of us doesn’t like to poke around in other people’s houses, to know what they look like and explore their history.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Gavin Plumley is our lyrical guide as he uncovers the story of Stepps House, a three-storey building in Pembridge, Herefordshire that has become his home with his husband. Alastair.\u00a0<\/p>

Through history, art, memoir and landscape, Gavin traces his house through various hands and eras, painting a picture of a past that tells us plenty about life in the Marches and resonates powerfully with our present.\u00a0<\/p>

Gavin Plumley<\/strong> is a cultural historian whose work spans numerous periods and disciplines. He is the author of <\/span>A Home for All Seasons<\/em>. He also appears frequently on BBC Radio 3 and Radio 4, has written for newspapers and magazines worldwide and gives talks at leading museums and galleries.
