With new episodes of Bridgerton landing on Netflix, England's stately homes are once again in the spotlight.
Filming has become a lifeline for many of these historical estates, providing vital income, funding conservation and attracting new visitors.
The charity English Heritage manages 400 properties across the country, many of which have been used on screen, such as Ranger's House in Greenwich, south-east London, which doubles as the Bridgerton family home.
Christina Pascoe, commercial development lead at the charity, says the TV cash helps maintain "quite simply but very important" features.
"Like replacing drapes, carpets, stone masonry work - even something as simple as cleaning the windows on the front of Ranger's House," she says.
