Penshurst Place: One of England's Greatest Historic Houses and Gardens

[@MemorySeekers]

For more on Anne Boleyn watch our other video of her childhood home at Hever Castle kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKPJamWAhqlor7c *Corrections* I said Demi-Luned which should have been Demi-Lune. Also, we said that a "Second First Floor Great Hall" was built. This would have been a ground-floor Hall the same size as the Barons Hall. The Upper rooms were the ones created later to become the Elizabeth Room and the Tapestry Room. I said Henry VIII died in 1536 but that was Anne Boleyn Henry died in 1547. Sorry for any confusion.

I am again humbled by the generosity of people like you who take their time to take people like me on this tour. As an avid history buff, I love being able to see these places since I will probably never have the opportunity to visit.

[@MemorySeekers]

Ah thank you ☺️ so kind 😊

[@theresamacarty5507]

Been visiting Penshurst Place for 50 years. It holds a very special place in my heart and that of my family. I used to love the old tea room within the house, which had a multitude of copper jelly molds and pans etc on the wall. You really must go back to see the toy museum. It’s absolutely wonderful and is probably one of the reasons that I have been a miniaturist all my adult life 💕

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you for sharing memories of all your visits! It was a shame we missed the museum. I am sure we will be back.

[@rezalrahim5258]

I absolutely love the quaint little village

[@MemorySeekers]

Yes we did as well. Was a real surprise as we had never visited before.

[@oakavon]

My cousin lives in Penshurst. Across the road from Penshurst Place. We’ve wandered across the fields for many walks. One of my favourite villages to holiday in when I visit the UK. Have even seen Viscount Sidney wondering the grounds.

[@MemorySeekers]

Fantastic was a lovely please to come for holidays.

Thank you SO very much for all you guys do to bring these videos to us across the world!! I don't know that I'll ever get the chance to visit but if not, your videos are the next best thing. Thank you again, with all my heart! Btw, the background music you chose was wonderful!!

Good morning from a rainy morning in Southeast Texas. Love all the historical information along with the walkabout. What a beautiful place. The gardens were quite delightful too.

[@MemorySeekers]

I imagine it’s a good thing it’s raining at this time of year?

[@marshabrubaker185]

@@MemorySeekers We did get 5 to 7 inches of rain when Hurricane Beryl recently blew through the area. That said, Texas tends to have a more tropical climate with hot, humid weather so rain is always welcome.

[@SpanishEclectic]

Really wonderful tour, guys! This is the kind of place where you want to get there when they open, and be the last one to leave. I can just imagine the sun setting behind those towers. Gardens are fabulous! I love the Heraldry garden and the Union Jack. And all of the arches of pink fluffy roses everywhere. Great summary of what is clearly a significant and complex history. Awesome job as always! Cheers! :)

[@MemorySeekers]

Absolutely, a full day is easy to spend here. We didn’t walk through all the parkland around the estate. Coming back to a pint in the pub or a dinner is a great end to a day in the countryside.

1 more that I had unfortunately missed on my several visits to the Old Dart in former days. Interesting history and beautifully kept gardens. 1 of the few that might have impressed me more was the Generalife Gardens at Granada's Alhambra in Spain.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I think Penshurst is the only important “stately home” around in Tudor times that still retains its central fireplace, most had new wall fireplaces with chimneys installed over the later centuries. This hall is used a lit in films. I think the Wolfhall scene with Cromwell and Norfolk talking at an open fire was probably shot here.

[@MemorySeekers]

Yes I cannot think of another place I have visited where the fireplace had not been updated. Good point.

I think this has to be one of your best productions Simon! The History was so interesting and flowed beautifully. My husband says how you tie it all together, the stills with video is pure craftsmanship and takes a huge amount of effort. Does look like a beautiful place & we would have def gone there had I known about it when we were in Kent. But, at least I can enjoy it now, as far away as I am in Tasmania. 2 gardens worth a visit - Hestercombe in Somerset near Taunton & it's not far from the Quantocks & coast should you fancy a weekend away, then in S Devon at Kingswear, another Gertrude Jekyll & Lutyens delight with an amazing series of gardens falling over the cliffs, although it's NT, so I'm not sure filming is an option... Overbecks near Salcombe, that's NT :( The Garden House at Buckland Monachorum is worth a visit & used to have a good cafe. That's private I believe, oh yes, & down in Cornwall, we did visit Trerice, Nr Newquay, but that's NT, too... Oh dear! Anyway - Happy Travels and thanks for taking us to all these lovely places - I think it made hubby very home sick...
