In episode 15 of season 7 of the hit BBC show Antiques Road Trip, seasoned experts Angus Ashworth and Christina Trevanion embark on a journey through the quaint and historic countryside of Somerset and Wiltshire, on the hunt for valuable and rare antiques that have the potential to fetch top prices at auction. As always, the stakes are high, as each expert has a set budget of a mere £200 to buy their chosen items, and they will face judgement from top auctioneers and antique dealers at every stop along the way.

The episode kicks off with a visit to the Somerset town of Frome, where Angus and Christina scour the bustling antiques market for hidden treasures. Christina’s keen eye lands her a stunning silver Holy Communion set, while Angus hones in on a rare collection of vintage toy airplanes. Their journey then takes them through the winding country roads to Wiltshire, where they explore a stunning manor house filled with antique clocks, furniture, and art.

As they progress through their trip, the two experts encounter a range of fascinating objects and colorful personalities, including a passionate collector of vintage advertising signs, a farmer whose backyard is filled with rusted farming equipment, and a charming tea room owner who shares her love of vintage costume jewelry and china.

One of the highlights of the episode is the duo’s visit to the village of Lacock, which has a rich history dating back to the 13th century. There, they explore a collection of antique textiles and fabrics, including handmade lace, intricate embroidery, and colorful patchwork quilts. Christina’s keen eye scores her a rare set of handmade linens, while Angus discovers a collection of vintage postcards that depict the charming village in a bygone era.

As the episode draws to a close, Angus and Christina head to their final auction, where they hope to rake in big money for their finds. The tension is palpable as they watch their items go under the hammer, with some unexpected results. But no matter what happens at the auction, Angus and Christina know that their journey through the English countryside has been a priceless adventure, filled with unforgettable moments and some of the most fascinating antiques in the world.
