Visit

In the 1920s and 1930s, Trent Park House was Sir Philip Sassoon’s glamorous country retreat, host to prime ministers, royalty and film stars. A decade later it held a darker secret. POWs including captured German generals and senior officers were housed here in apparent comfort, never knowing that the Secret Listeners were monitoring their conversations and gathering intelligence that helped change the course of the war.

Explore two floors of the House: the state rooms above, restored to their 1930s appearance, and the basement below, where the Secret Listeners carried out one of Britain’s most remarkable wartime intelligence operations.
