Royal Commission investigators Stephen Hughes and Susan Fielding survey the Victorian farming technologies and buildings developed by a millionaire at Leighton Park model farm, near Welshpool.

The home farm was intended to impress.

Leighton Park model farm

The Leighton Park estate was given to John Naylor by his uncle as a wedding gift. Between 1848 and 1856 he invested £200,000 developing it. The home farm was intended to impress. The nucleus was the stockyard at the top, built in 1849 and followed shortly afterwards by the other three yards.
