A RECORD number of visitors went to Hughenden Manor last Sunday during their 1940s themed weekend.
The themed weekend ran on Saturday, with 1,200 visitors, and on Sunday with 1,774 visitors- the most the National Trust Property has ever had in a single day.
The idea of a 1940s weekend began, to highlight the role the manor played during the war as a secret map making centre for RAF Bomber Command.
And it has become incredibly popular over the years.
General manager Jim Foy said: "Last year almost took us by surprise because it was so popular.
"I was starting to think is it still of interest as we had been doing it for a little while. And it just shows it is.
"It is something people really enjoy and are interested in."
A group called the Civil Defenders (the Home Guard) were on hand to re-create home life during the Second World War.
They did drills around the drive and got children involved in military drills.
Mr Foy said: "There was a sort of Dad's Army lean to it."
There were also mortar firing demos, performances from The Spitfires and an Édith Piaf tribute, 1940s vehicles and a fire engine from the era.
