SOME 4m viewers will see the 1830s period garden at Red House Museum, Gomersal, when it appears on national television.

The garden features as part of the BBC's coverage of the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show on Friday.

A full day of filming took place at the Kirklees Council-owned house.

Presenter Wesley Kerr and director Lesley Orr travelled from London to make a four-minute feature about the garden.

During the day they filmed period features all around the garden and interviewed council landscape gardener Helen Stuffins.

Red House staff in period costume were

filmed strolling or sitting in the garden.

Red House was the home of woollen merchants and manufacturers the Taylor family.

Novelist Charlotte Bronte often visited her friend, Mary Taylor, and featured the house and family in Shirley.
