Life-size human sculptures have been unveiled at one of England's finest stately homes as part of an exhibition charting five centuries.

The figures represent people from the late 19th century to the present day connected with Longleat House in Wiltshire.

They include Jules Curtis, who was head gardener at the estate in the 1900s, clipping a topiary hedge.
