Extremely interesting and learned a lot. Had no idea how much lord Nuffield (William Morris who founded Morris cars) gave to society and how simply he and his wife lived. Fantastic to see the house as it was when they finally left it after they died. Well worth the visit .

So much to learn about and from Baron Nuffield... including what "MG" stands for! What a generous man he must have been... donating 11 billion pounds in today's money of his fortune to good causes. Few billionaires of today's world could be recommended a visit to pick up some ideas about philanthropy.
