We Found RARE Paintings belonging to Henry VIII in this ABANDONED Mansion!

[@ArthurLindsey-jq7wt]

This was my grandfathers house. We live just next door. We are heartbroken at its disrepair, the man that’s bought it from the Latvians ( not Polish), has done nothing with it. In the cold snap we had all the pipes burst which is why there’s so much damp. It’s very upsetting to see how it’s been neglected. Please don’t reveal where it is as it would be awful if it got vandalised.

[@VacantHaven]

Hi, thank you for the comment, very sorry you feel like that. It is a real shame how something so grand and historic can get to this state. I have been very careful as to not reveal any info about the place in the video. I hope you found our explore respectful, we hope it is rescued!

The real truth is my estate has tried to save these for 40 yrs and my great grandmothers estate since the 1940's until I took it over in the early 1980's. It's the falsehood of lies that they were private homes is what caused the world wars. They were public buildings state hood local area government operations. When you go through the actually architecture and construction of the originals most of it was government and public use. I own it and have plans to demo it to put in modern homes for the lower middle class. Back to stand independently at a McDonalds job instead of sick aristocracy stance that they have to be sex slaves renting rooms.

[@QueenofPlaylists]

I almost cried when the camera focused on King Henry's painting since I'm a Tudor enthusiast... what a gem.. the artifacts should be in the museum already.

Thank you Alex, Ned, and that youngster Eddy, for saving this place on video. That place was huge, with so much history being just tossed off and forgotten. That's what some people want to happen. If you don't learn from the past you get to do it again. So much being left to waste.

It really angers me that these old historical buildings have had so many owners and that they are left in this state. When you own a home of any age you are the caretaker of that property and you should respect and care for it.

It's absolutely criminal that this uniquely historic place has been dishonored and desicrated by careless owners and institutions!!! It should have been a museum preserved with all of it's original furnishings and fixtures...where was the Historical Society when the place was ousted from the original inheritors??? Shame, shame, shame. Would love to know more of the backstory, and only hope that it will indeed be finally taken in hand by the proper authority for restoration. The detailed architectural elements (fireplaces especially), and the paintings (?) etc, are all worth millions literally...WTH??? Who owns this property in the present? Ghosts and the banks???

Incredible exploration and a wonderful channel. I found you yesterday and have now seen you go into a bungalow bunker, a WWII machine gun nest, a hidden military base mine, and now this venerable old house - so full of decayed splendor. I'm in Florida, USA (a decidedly less historic locale) and I can't say how much I appreciate this glimpse of your country's history. So glad I found your channel and love the respect you show for each place. Thank you! P.S. I loved the comment about the Dalek plunger

I don’t understand how such an important historical building could be neglected like that. If I were a rich person, I’d love to bring it back to life. I can almost picture a secret garden on that property.

[@LifeLuvWe]

I am with you & 💯 Agree.

[@jaynepaige5702]

Money..

[@stevejones1972]

From reading into the history of this place, it closed in 2016 and was to be sold off, but looks like no buyer must have been found. From all the mould and decay in some areas of the building you would have thought it had been abandoned for much longer than 7 years. It is such a shame it is left like this, being such an old and beautiful building, and I hope it is not left to fester for much longer - being a listed building, it would cost a buyer a lot of money to renovate it the longer it is left abandoned. Would seem that the pictures of Henry Viii are indeed original and actually were owned by him, so yes, I'd imagine its not a great idea them being left there like that.

[@mac1975]

If they were genuine Hans Holbein paintings they would worth millions. Probably prints or copies, no one would leave that type of art

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

Sadly, these things are likely to be genuine and just left to rot, like many other abandoned historical British buildings. They're mostly abandoned because of the cost of maintaining them. Is likely that all of the panelling and beams are genuine. All of the little rooms will have been built in for later accommodations. It's criminal how we neglect our history.

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

Also, the planner fireplaces will be genuine and of its time. The 'prettier ' ones are other additions.

You have no way of knowing that. People find paintings often. Most wait for authentification. But it is possible. There were several VanGoghs paintings found in a chicken coop where some had been used to patch holes and they were originals by him, so you never know.

Hello Alex and gang!! Wow, what an incredible place. There was some wonderful old portraits. Of King Henry VIII and the others.
