Lord with too much silver: please help: Stately home owner offers sandwiches to stair polishers
Lord Palmer, owner of one of Scotland's finest stately homes, is looking for volunteers to buff up his priceless silver plated staircase because he says he cannot afford a cleaner. Lord Palmer, 48, inherited Manderston House in Berwickshire in 1978. The 108-room building has the world's only silver plated staircase, which in Edwardian days took three servants three weeks to bring to a shine. These generous terms allowed Mr [John Kinross] to design the silver staircase, topped with a solid brass rail, which Lord Palmer admits is \"priceless\" in its own right.
