I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and for watching my video. The house has had various uses since being a private residence so I'm sure most of the valuable furniture and fittings were removed many many years ago in one way or another. I hope you found it interesting anyway to see what has happened to the place, and thanks for your honest opinion. Adam 🙂

Wow! I've never seen or heard of this house before and it's so elegant. I'm getting a "petite trianon" vibe from it. Not from its decorations but from its size and intentions. It is a large grand house built on a smaller scale. Put in plumbing and electric and this could be a livable house today.

Strangely, I only came across the place for the first time last year! I believe that several people clubbed together and now live on the upper floors of the house in some form of communal living arrangement (not sure exactly if it's leased or what). The lower floors are used for weddings and other functions on occasion. Thanks for watching, Adam :)

Probably, but it's hard on a guided tour as you're expected to be in the same room at the same time. Sometimes it's fortunate that they allow me to film at all in these houses as they don't always allow it. Sometimes it's either film with the additional voice of the guide, or not at all, and a lot of people like to see inside the house. Thanks for watching though, and I understand your comment. Adam :)

@AdamExploresBritain17 күн бұрын
Some of them go back hundreds of years to their allegiances with whatever side had won certain wars internally. Then there were generals etc in the army fighting wars abroad who were awarded land and titles for their victories. Then you had those who married into already wealthy families. Others made their money through business (helped in differing degrees by the slave trade). I suppose some of it goes right back to being awarded land when conquering England (William the Conquerer etc) and then receiving rent/tax from people for using that land. You can probably trace some landed families right back until that time, I would expect. There will be many more reasons but I think those are some of the main ones. Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it, Adam :)

Thanks for the tour. I recently watched an old movie that featured this house as like a scary place. Quite nice to see it in the Christmas season. I'm just confused why there are no bedrooms. According to the history Gregory lived there for 3 years. I'm assuming he wasn't sleeping in the hallways and must have had his own room, but I can't seem to find anything about there being any sort of bedrooms in the manor. Not that it matters, I was just curious.
@AdamExploresBritain19 күн бұрын
Thanks for watching. As for the bedrooms, we only had access to the ground floor and basement if i remember rightly. Also, it's now actually used as a university campus for the University of Evansville in the USA so I expect what were the bedrooms upstairs have somewhat been turned into dormitories or similar now, as well as maybe offices etc. Lovely house.

This is about 20 minutes away from where I live and is probably my most favourite place to visit in Herefordshire. Usually I visit two or three times a year but so far this year I haven't been at all. I have taken hundreds of photos here, especially of the gardens as the colours and variety of flower, shrubs, insects etc is amazing especially in the spring and summer months! There's a nice little riverside walk opposite the castle beside the river Lugg and if you are lucky you might see some otters. They have only opened the upstairs of the castle to visitors in the last 12 - 18 months as the last time I was there you could only see round the ground floor, so that's another reason for me to go back again soon. Also, did you know that Hampton Court Palace was apparently modelled on Hampton Court Castle which is the older of the two? I'd recommend this castle to anyone who is thinking about visiting - and keep an eye out as they have events on at various times in the year like animal displays, bird displays, plays etc etc and of course there is the new park there for the children. Anyway, I really love this kind of video, so thank you for sharing it and I look forward to watching some more of your videos.

Agreed that it's not perfect, but in their defence it is still owned by the same family since around the 12th century (I think) so I'm guessing that their budget only goes so far each year and they probably have to prioritise with regards to how much and what gets done. I think what I'm trying to say is that it's not one of these mega mansions with millions of visitors a year and lots of volunteers that seems to have an almost endless budget. It's just a family home that lets people in for several open days a year. I do take your point though, and many thanks for watching. Adam :)
