Home of our Delight explores the stories of the young men marked on the Mells village memorial, and of their families.

As well as gamekeepers, gardeners and colliery workers these men included the last son and heir of the Horner family and Mells estate, and his brother-in-law, the son of the wartime Prime Minister.

Find out more about the impact of World War 1 at home, expressed through letters, diaries, artefacts and a unique collection of commissioned memorials.
