England's Lost Country Houses

[@TheFiown]

There was a huge house similar to Eaton Hall near where I grew up called Rosehaugh but it was also demolished in 1959. The labor party in the UK put death duties after WWII up to over 90% forcing families who had just lost several members of their families to demolish their estates.

Perfect timing. I've just started chopping up dinner.

It's really sad to lost history like that but the cost are a real problem to be accounted.

[@IsaiahMiguel]

Isn’t the UK spending millions on illegals? Idk maybe cut some cost there 🤷

Let's rebuild it. Make England great again.

We can't, it's like NASA having to re-learn everything about rockets and space flight again because they'd been somnolent since Apollo 17. The master craftmanship and niche skills that went into building these houses doesn't exist on the scale needed in the modern world.

THE TRAGIC, UNSPEAKABLE, INCOMPREHENSIBLE , LOSSES OF THESE FEATS OF ARCHITECTURE, DESIGN,AND ENGINEERING,WAS UNFORGIVABLE! THE SHORT VISION OF DEATH TAXES WAS A DEATH NAIL PUNISHMENT BY IDIOTS IN GOVERNMENT. I THINK OF THE LABOR THATS WORK & EXPERIENCE WAS SQUANDERED, GOVERNMENT NEVER LEARNS FROM ITS MISTAKES!

colonialists: By their fruits you shall know them!

[@memofromessex]

I have to say I do feel sad when I read about this lost great homes - but it was built on the back of British/Irish and colonial labour.

just like any project in the past, you think the pyramids were built by unionized workers with great pay and benefits, the great wall of china as mass graves of chinese peasants burried alive

[@Rynewulf]

That is such a generalisation, the reality is much less than that: an 1100s Medieval castle's great hall wasnt funded the same way a 1700s plantation owner's manor house was. Not to mention that many manors were purely local affairs built for local landlords running regional farm estates, the number made by royalty and the colonial elite are relativey few in comparison.
