After being deserted for four decades, sixteenth-century English country house St. Giles House undergoes a thorough restoration from roof, structural walls, and interiors (including furnishings, decorative elements, and works of art) to landscape, lake, shell-lined grotto, and outbuildings. The history of the Ashley-Cooper family is described along with the evolution of the house and grounds, as well as the saga in bringing the grand house back to life.

Nicholas Edmund Anthony Ashley-Cooper, the 12th Earl of Shaftesbury, is an English peer, landowner, and philanthropist. After an early career in music in New York City, and the untimely deaths of his father and brother, he inherited the earldom in 2005 and has since then overseen the restoration of the family seat, St Giles House. Tim Knox is a British art historian and museum professional. Since 2013, he has been the director of the Fitzwilliam Museum at Cambridge, following an eight-year directorship of the Sir John Soane's Museum, London.
