Staff at a stately home managed to avoid a Del Boy moment when they set about cleaning a 200-year-old giant chandelier.<br />
<br />
The expensive late 18th century light fixture, which includes 36 bulbs, is suspended 55ft above the grand staircase at Longleat House, Wilts.<br />
<br />
Luckily for Longleat, the wrought-iron chandelier did not have to be lowered into a big dust sheet being held by a Del and Rodney pair of workmen.
