Chepstow Racecourse 1

what happens

Fiona Bruce and the team head for the races as they arrive at Chepstow Racecourse in Wales. Family treasures featured include medals from early Olympic Games, awarded when tug-of-war was a competing sport; a light bulb containing a painstakingly-made model of Lincoln Cathedral gifted by a German prisoner of war in World War 2; and perhaps the oddest and one of the oldest pieces of glass ever featured on the programme, which excites curiosity for its near-perfect condition over three hundred years after it was made.
