THE home of the British resistance will be open to the public on Thursday.

Coleshill House, near Faringdon, was the Second World War training headquarters for the Auxiliary Units, the secret resistance in the event of German invasion.

Visitors can discover the war history of the estate with a Second World War walk from 6pm to 8pm, including the Guard House and original prototype underground training bunker.

Tickets are £5 with more information at nationaltrust.org.uk
