[@bellabell737]

My family has lived in Wentworth for hundreds of years. I was so lucky to have a tour a couple of years ago. An amazing house.

[@Xploreheritage]

Wow lucky you, Wentworth is just beautiful!

[@LaughingInTiny]

How do you not have millions of subscribers?? This was STUNNING and I am now on a mission to watch or rewatch the rest of your channel. Exceptionally done Sir. 👌

[@Xploreheritage]

Thank you so much 😀

[@joshschneider9766]

Absolutely as worthy of appreciation as Chatsworth!

That marble statue in the stair well is a marble from Pompeii it’s worth is phenomenal !

[@deborahmarkham9702]

Thank you for showing some parts of the house we don't normally get to see. We've been so fortunate to have done several tours and had dinners in the marble saloon including their Regency Ball 😍. I've just purchased 2 of the old balusters which were replaced during the roof renovations, so now have my very own part of WW 😍. Absolutely love this place.

[@Xploreheritage]

Hi Deborah. Thank you so much for your comment and kind words. Isn’t it just the most incredible house!? I love how every time you visit there is something new to see. Being able to see the house being brought back to life is really quite special. I am very envious of your dinners in the stunning Marble Saloon!

[@lifeofaking8467]

It's so wonderful that this is being brought back to life! Too many were taken down.

[@Xploreheritage]

Totally agree!

[@Skarfp]

Thank you for this wonderful tour of an amazing house.

I had the pleasure of visiting wentworth a few years ago, and I heard about it after reading Black Diamonds , which is one of my favourite books to read. The history of the house, and family is really good. I look forward to visiting it again very soon. Must say I was very impressed with the house on my first visit , not expecting it to look as good as it did. Thank you for the chance to see it once again.

[@Xploreheritage]

My pleasure Sandra. I must read that book, it has been recommended to me before! Hope you get to visit again soon.

[@johnholt9399]

Great book also inspired me to visit. The lost rooms about Belvoir Castle by the same author is also good.

[@ruthgoebel723]

How encouraging to see this priceless treasure receiving the vital restoration she needs. What a magnificent house!!!! It has long been something that has captured my interest and to see it being properly handled is indeed a wonderful thing. Will be following this with much pleasure!

[@Xploreheritage]

It’s fantastic to see! The house is looking absolutely spectacular and I too can’t wait to see it complete!

[@juliancoulden1753]

Thank you. The building and interiors are stunningly beautiful. Breathtaking.

[@Xploreheritage]

My pleasure!

[@toddbonin6926]

Wonderful video. As an American of Yorkshire ancestry I applaud the efforts to save this treasure … and your accent was music to my ears.

[@Xploreheritage]

[@Xploreheritage]

Thanks so much, really appreciate your comment 😊

[@improvesheffield4824]

Thanks for this behind the scenes look. As WW is only about a 15 minute drive away I visit regularly so it's great to see the gradual improvements taking place at this wonderful historic house and gardens. The next big project is the refurbishment of the Camelia house. Can't wait!!!

[@Xploreheritage]

Thanks for you comment. Hope you enjoyed. I’m also looking forwards to the restoration of the Camelia House!

[@ironcladvee6229]

Marry me. We can visit everyday.

[@buzzkincaid5521]

Thank you for sharing the come back story of this treasure house. The insights, scope of restoration, and the before , of what will become the ultimate after ,is window into a world I am interested in.

[@Xploreheritage]

Thanks for watching, really glad you enjoyed!

[@maryhamric]

What a beautiful home. The name is reminiscent of Jane Austen's major characters Captain Wentworth and Emma Woodhouse. Wonder if it was an inspiration to Jane.

[@Xploreheritage]

It's entirely possible! It is an incredible home 😍

[@riceman78]

Interesting vid. It is great to see this incredible building being saved.

[@welshblush]

Awesome job! I've long been in love with this house. Hopefully I'll get to visit it some day. Keep up the great work!

[@Xploreheritage]

Hi thanks so much! Really hope you get the opportunity to visit ☺️

[@msjaninah05]

This is gorgeous. I hope you will feature Sandringham house next!

[@Xploreheritage]

Thank you! If they invite me to Sandringham then I’ll be there 😊

[@havingalook2]

Simply wonderful. I was most lucky to have visited in 2017 Long before scaffolding, one one of their exceedingly rare days of guided tours. What a treat and lasting impression it had on me. It has lead me to do much more research and also delve into the family history. A very fascinating topic. Many thanks indeed for sharing your very exclusive glimpse into not-seen-before spaces. Cheers

[@Xploreheritage]

Thanks so much for your comment. Really glad you love this place as much as I do! My pleasure 😊

[@lyonspainter]

Wow! You should have called for me on the way. ... love palladium

[@sterlingd9035]

Great show what a Treasure for all to see and built up on other's backs but should be A Which it is A National Treasure of Art Thanks for The Journey What a Treasure PS Charles saved an Historic Estate years ago and was in Architectural Design and saved house and original contents Art for The People

[@esleyhamilton4056]

Although it was never in such a grim condition as Wentworth Woodhouse, Stowe in Buckinghamshire has also been undergoing restoration in the last several years, including accurately refurnishing the Palladian interiors, from wihch almost every piece of furniture or sculpture was removed in 1921.. I would love to see you report on the committee's progress.

[@Xploreheritage]

Thanks for sharing! Hoping to get back one day for an update 👍

[@ch-sr4ie]

Rumah yg begitu besar, sangat menyenangkan dinikmati dalam sebuah keluarga yg bahagia, istri yg cantik dan setia, anak anak yg sukses dengan keluarga kecilnya, setiap minggu anak anak itu berkunjung dengan membawa keluarga kecilnya. Oh betapa hidup sangat menyenangkan dan membahagiakan..

[@curlew-3592]

The book Black Diamonds a novel about the house and family who owned it, is the BEST book I’ve ever read and I’ve read a lot of books 😂

[@Xploreheritage]

I’m looking at ordering that book. I have a book by Melvyn Jones and others coming today, but people keep telling me about ‘Black Diamonds’!

[@RoveRomania]

can this be transformed into a hotel? Do the rooms have bathrooms ?

[@KindnessMatters-uy8mq]

♥️💯

[@puddlespickles8810]

Helena de Chair family ancestrial home, she is the wife of Jacob rees mogg

[@MaineOffGrid.]

Quite ironic that he mentions Stephen King. I live in Maine, Stephen King’s home state. I’m also a descendant of the Wentworth family, whose home is shown here.

[@suegreene1]

Do you have any Idea how the Wentworth family lived in the XVI century?

[@josefprinc3613]

How can somebody began with repairs on stucco and above that leaking roof ?!

[@AuroraChernobyl]

So when will the restoration finish?

[@Xploreheritage]

They are hoping to have most things completed by around 2044.

[@Xploreheritage]

@Eduardo Morales No, actual 2044. The main house will be finished way before that, but in terms of the the entire estate, it is really going to take a couple of decades. But, perhaps if you make a massive donation it could be sooner!

[@johnryskamp7755]

Are they going to steamclean the outside? Those stones are, of course, filthy.

[@Xploreheritage]

I think they have already done some work removing soot from the exterior. But I’m not sure to be honest. If I find out I’ll let you know!

[@stringer-ik1pc]

Jacob Reess Mogg is marred to a woman who is linked to this house.thats why the house got government funding for the restoration. Its a worthy cause ,but very naughty.
