Rare gramophone records found in stately home

Jim Pattison, a retired recording engineer, has discovered rare gramophone records dating back from the early 20th century in a stately home he was visiting. At Brodsworth Hall, in Yorkshire, records such as a 1908 recording of Goodbye to Sweet Awakenings, made by Caruso, Antonio Scotti, Geraldine Farrar and Gina Viafora and a 1905 recording of John Philip Sousa conducting Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance March No 1 were found among 100 others.
