We Found An Incredible Abandoned Former Private School

/ @vacanthaven
Built in the mid 1800s, this HUGE Mansion was originally a private school.
Due to degrading grades and poor exam results, it closed its doors in 1993.
After this a Christian missionary group aquired the building and gave teachings, activities and Worship to its groups.

Wow, thank you guys for this. If the walls could talk. Lots of mixed emotions watching this, I was there at Pierrepont School from 1976-1979, then 1981-1983. Made friends for life and still stay in touch with many of them. So many memories, we could narrate of all for you with stories. Unbelievable, yet so sad to see it in state it’s in. Cheers lads

[@jimmime]

You could have spent days in that place, it's HUGE! Thank you, Alex, Neddy, & Eddy!

[@Snowy-666]

I was a pupil there from 1981-1986 when it was a school. I visited myself at the end of last summer when the former owners were about to close it down, so guessing you were there shortly afterwards. I could tell you loads about how it all worked as a school, which had good and very bad sides to it. Still, was a real formative place in my life and visiting brought back so many memories. Even after having visited myself fairly recently, was really nice to enjoy it again with you.

[@joecole7122]

How come there's no bathtub in the bathroom?

[@Snowy-666]

@@joecole7122 Sorry Joe, no idea. I left there as a school in 1986 and there were baths in the bathrooms back then. It carried on as a school for a few years after I left and then has been occupied by a fairly out-there christian cult for a good few years - who knows what happened in those intervening years!

[@lissanne9769]

Thank you so very much for taking us up to the top of thr clock tower. It was remarkable to see the bells, and hear it ticking. I hope this estate won't be destroyed and taken down. It is a beautiful place, and so massive. Seems a shame to take it out. Anyways, I loved the tour. Thanks to all of you guys. Ed, Ned, and Alex. Always enjoy your videos.

[@JMackyD18]

Just want to point out something I’ve noticed about asbestos in your videos, them little red stickers are actually what’s made from asbestos not a warning sign for rooms etc (they stick them directly on what’s made from asbestos), all the fire doors will be asbestos and boarding, tiles etc, also in most cases asbestos poses no threat whatsoever aslong as you don’t disturb it which in these explorations and environments is fairly hard to do as most materials are non freyable. The only form of asbestos I would personally stay clear of and be very cautious around is loose fill insulation and pipe lagging (the stuff where you can physically see the asbestos fibre), again not usually a threat if untouched but even drafts can disturb that stuff. I’m sure you already know this but just will leave it for any others too.

[@mikes3975]

Would also watch out for all the artex on the walls.

[@VacantHaven]

Thank you for the info, much appreciated 👍

[@maz121able]

Sorry I was late guy's. What a beautiful building, thank you for sharing that clock and those bells were just amazing 😍😍

[@kimberlybates6261]

Very beautiful Tudor home. I pray no one vandalizes it.

[@paulsparkycresswellthetrav8919]

Thank you, Alex, Neddy, & Eddy for the tour

[@rozwatson24601]

Wow. What a wonderful trip down memory lane. I was at Pierrepont 88-93, and it closed the Summer after my A-Levels. Would have loved to have seen you explore the rest of the grounds - the old classroom block, the sports hall etc. The room you really liked with the shields and the falling down ceiling was the library, and the pool table was in what used to be the music room. The main hall with all the chairs was where we had assembly. I half expected you to go up onto the roof and find all the graffiti we left up there!🤭

[@roomullan3050]

Wow, what a building. You couldn’t get up for a wee in the night without waking the whole house 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@VacantHaven]

And those creaking floorboards, you'll wake everyone up 🤣

[@gyzmo181]

Pure explore with no paranormal....love your stuff, always puts a smile on my face 😊

[@VacantHaven]

Cheers 😁 👍

[@MissPresley69]

Agreed 👌

[@gillianmulligan2723]

Totally agree regards Paranormal. Big turn off for me!

[@richardphelan8414]

That last crapper was a tenner ,the best place I've seen so far loved the clock and the bloody bells was just the best what a place that was in the early 1900s with all the people that it took to run the place

[@pauldurkee4764]

Imagine being one of the household staff, the miles they must have walked each and every day, talk about Plantar Faciitis.

[@andreamallon3062]

Wow, what an amazing old building. I love buildings with loads of corridors and nooks n crannies, you never fail to find great places to show us. Cheers guys 👍

[@JamesBrown-yn7xr]

I know a friend who went there, seems all the local schools are like that now. My old one nearby closed about 3 yrs ago and they are still deciding what to do with it. Another local girls school is now an old peoples home. Oak panelled private schools all going bankrupt.

[@gary1961]

The annual running costs of these buildings is astronomical. A sad fact of life.

[@BeverleyKovacs]

Totally brill explore guys, what a lovely building the fireplaces and ceilings and the bell tower was so brill xxx❤😊

[@naztubes]

This building is bloody amazing. Thanks for giving me a good laugh on a otherwise dreary weekend lads 👍

[@VacantHaven]

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed 👍

[@QuentinRichardson-supersnail]

FYI - I went to this school in 1970-3. The way you guys sneak around reminds me of slipping off for a ciggy. Have to say that you found areas that I never saw. Staff quarters and domestic staff areas.

[@danieloldham9314]

Great adventure guys ! Wow ..what a beautiful building !

[@John-L-1961]

What an amazing place to explore 👍. Edd looks like he's got the first aid box over his shoulder 😉😂

[@clarepartrick1066]

I would imagine it was retreat when the building was operational, nice one Steve, Ed and Ned.👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@stuartfletcher2378]

What a beautiful place , so serene and quiet ( except for Eds. fart ) it was truly a world apart , with no signs of anyone being there before . Thank you Alex < Ned , and Pompeye for a place I will visit again and again . Top of the day to you all , God Bless , Stuart in Canada ..

[@andrewmoore5628]

What a great explorer, last bathroom 2 out of 10, love watching the 3 of you, great fun and interesting

[@adrollason7220]

6:58 that basement had just had a fresh coat of paint

[@christianmccollum1028]

Your videos make my Sunday afternoon. Never fails. A spot of tea, some strumpets, the latest explore with Pompeye, and my evening is complete. 👌 Love & respect from Texas.

[@sarahstrong7174]

Struppets! Is that the American equivalent of english Crumpets? Or???

[@christianmccollum1028]

@@sarahstrong7174 the other dessert 🍨 😋 LMAO

[@christianmccollum1028]

I ment to type "strumpet", the other dessert.

[@angelafield2798]

Well done guys on this beautiful find. It’s brilliant.

[@Draegn]

It is nice that the building is being used and not left to rot.

[@gail727]

You guys definatly find the best buildings! That was such a classic beautiful building. Thank you and look forward to the next video. X

Ooooh the clockworks were so brilliant. I saw a date on the works that said 1808. Good job.

[@MarHauck]

This was a good one. I can't imagine who built this and who they were. Impressive.

[@reneemercer5950]

This was such an amazing building, thank you guys for sharing this place, I just hope it doesn't get demolished. Can't wait for the next video 😍

Please dont tell me it is going to be demolished? It is gorgeous and should be used. What a waste leaving it empty. Love your videos. Watch every Monday morning. From Hampshire. Sue

[@Randy-wp3bc]

Awesome find. Wonderful craftsmanship that went into that ceiling and the woodwork, but the floors definitely sounds like it's over a century old lol. Cheers guys.

[@daphnerosemoon9843]

Amazing explore in amazing buildings.. Very enjoyable. Thank you very very much Alex, Neddy, and Eddy Have a great and happy week. See you next Sunday 💖💖💖🍺🍺🍺🍕🍕🍕 I thought this video needed a religious joke... A Muslim, a Jew, a Christian, a Pagan and an Atheist walk into a coffee shop... and they talk, laugh, drink coffee and become good friends. It's not a joke. It's what happens when you're not an asshole. 💖💖 Ps did you look at the photo, that's me on mothers day. Not so bad for nearly 75 and 1/2 ?

[@WacKEDmaN]

..nice explore! that place is massive...could do with a 2nd explore..if its still standing... it still blows me away how many abandoned places there are over there... there has to be billions worth just rotting away....

[@BalearicBeatnik]

Love this channel, shout out to all of ya, swore I saw ya coming out the Co Op the other day, was gonna say hello, meet yer heroes and all that! I need to get a camera and so some explores, would love to document this kinda stuff, the clues you find, that are a window into a life long gone.

[@1MartinWaite]

WOW WOW WOW that’s one explore which I didn’t want to end that building should have a preservative order upon it so it is maintained to a high standard for eternity. Thank you Alex for taking your time to show us around this beautiful historic building may it remain in this condition for along long time ideally it would be even better for the building to be brought back into full use. Alex how do you go about beating this beautiful building and home? It’s right up there with one of the best buildings you’ve explored and video or us old has beens oh hahahaha again I thank you very much, till next week.

Nice work boys. Keep it up. Question did you leave the trap door open to the bells ? ;)

I stumbled onto your channel a few months ago and have been binge watching ever since. As well as the content I really live your video technique and edits, do you mind me asking what software or app you use to edit? Ive been trying to edit some family video but once done it looks all jittery especially the pan shots whoch were fine before. Thanks and look forward to Sundays episode 👍

Just love your videos,but also makes me rather sad that there are these amazing places everywhere stood empty and neglected.😢

[@smartypants7284]

Boarding school isn't fun no matter how nice the building!

[@pauldurkee4764]

That is quite a house, we certainly knew how to build in this country, that has to be the best pool room I've ever seen, that fireplace, not to mention the view over the lawns. Did anyone notice, not a single picture of the Archbishop of Canterbury..😂 You should have reconnected the bells to the mechanism.

[@DebiElford-xv1cd]

Hello Alex, Ned and Ed, another awesome, entertaining and interesting video. Loved the building, beautiful architecture internally and externally . You guys are the most awesome guys, and I thank you for all the effort you put in to present this channel. Take care to all and look forward to the next video. Kind regards Debb-Angela from Western Australia. 😁👍🇦🇺

[@malcolmclarke1016]

That was such a massive place! You could have spent two days there and probably not seen the whole lot. Kinda worried that Ed wants to put a leotard on when you reach 100k😂 Keep on exploring and sharing your adventures.
