An Extraordinary Dorset Story, Wimborne St Giles



Worth watching the documentary film programme about Lord Shaftesbury, on Channel 4, 4oD, The Aristocrats.

Even Hardy couldn't have invented the tragic elements and twists of fate in this compelling story.

"This film follows Nick Ashley Cooper coming to terms with his sudden and brutal assumption of the title of the 12th Earl of Shaftesbury, trying to rescue the Shaftesbury family name - famed for philanthropy and acts of charity down the centuries - from bankruptcy and ruin".
