Love Basildon Park
Переглядів 124 тис.11 років тому
A guided tour around the former 18th Century house built for Sir Francis and Lady Henrietta Sykes that became the 1950s home for Lord and Lady Iliffe. Basildon Park was subsequently sold to James Morrison and his decendent, Charles Morrison, inherited the property in 1910, but appeared not to live there. The house was used as a convalescent home for soldiers of the Berkshire Regiments during th...

Basildon Park - 18th Century House, 1950s Home
Переглядів 2,2 тис.11 років тому
Following years of neglect Basildon Park was in a terrible state when Lord and Lady Iliffe bought the property in 1952. Fire had damaged part of the roof and also the floor of what had been the library. The Iliffes set about restoring the house to its original eighteenth century style with Lady Iliffe personally engaged in hanging the red felt on the walls of the Octagon room, scrubbing clean t...
👍👍👍Thank you from Japan ❤❤❤😊
Excellent. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
11:50 'Chamber pot' in dining room within designed wine storage. More likely a spittoon (or cuspidor)? To spit wine during tasting. (Or tobacco)
Thank you for making history come to life in a wonderful and informative video. Beautifully done.
This is the best presentation I have ever seen. So full of interesting stories!
Thank you for that kind response
❤❤❤❤
Wasn't the film plot of "The Eagle Has Landed" started as a feasible study as well? Look how that ended up, in disaster! Green engery is a scam.
I just read where it was vandalized by some teenagers,no respect for anything these days.
Lovely presentation by a very professional, articulate presenter. And Andy had the good sense to not interrupt! Thank you.
Lovely house. I really liked the library.
Lovely
Lovely gloria
25:20 Literally got every detail wrong in that short introduction to the bed 😂 Louis XIV (1638-1715) did not marry a Polish princess; I assume he was referring to Maria Leszcynska (1703-1768) who married Louis XV (1710-1774) in 1725. None of these individuals was around in the later eighteenth century as he states. This style of bed was perhaps first developed in Poland but it’s eventual form as seen here was down to its evolution in France.
nah, not a jib crane, try again
Producing around 500,000 KW hours of energy per year is more than enough to light a bulb or two! Have a look at the site now it is completed.
I don’t care for the paint job in the library.
It was not Louis XIV, but Louis XV (born in 1711), and not at the end, but rather at the beginning of the 18th century, when he married Marie Leszczynska.
Did anyone understand What the story(interesting as it was) had to w/the cabinet??
It is really à privelege to see such à Wonderful house Thank you so much
Muy bella y hermosa casa de campo inglesa. Decorada con un gusto exquisito y excepcional, maravillosamente bien mantenida . Muy bonito este video .
Handsome. The presenter and the house.
He stole the treasures of India and then had the nerve to appropriate the gryphons that were supposed to guard it. That's imperialist cheek of the highest order.
queers are the best presenters. I'm queer btw lol
This is great!
lovely
Very defined,exquisitely done.From the window treatments,all elements are in impeccable accuracy.Thank you for your view of how history of beautiful aesthetics are meant to show
Great works Beautiful paintings and wood carvings
Beautiful home, but I can’t stand the work of Graham Sutherland. He’s the most famous talent-less painter I can think of. I’d send it back to the museum, but apparently they didn’t want it, either.
Nice looking place. Great video by the way! I’ve just subscribed!
Nice title. Lovely video.
Magnificent mission with gorgeous collections, get it into my traveling whish list
Wow, great job! It's really beautiful place. I love every lake and old watermills buildings.
Combien coûte ce sublime château ?👍👑🎩🎩❤️
I wonder how actually can be cleaned all that beautiful stuff! 😍
imperialism and capitalism go hand in hand. You wonder why minorities are so poor. All the wealth was literally stolen beneath their feet
Just beautiful and very well presented . I really enjoyed myself . Thank you for letting me come along .
Wonderful home. So lovely,
Exquisite, isn't it darling?
Those are not Chinese medicine dolls.
Needed something nice to watch in light of all the madness going on in the world. 2021
So they basically went to the bathroom in the dining room??
Yes!
Daniel Maclise painted the Meeting of Wellington and Blücher after the battle of Waterloo, The marriage of Strongbow and Aoife amongst other famous works. It’s amazing he had time for an affair.
Beautiful tour!
It's a shame the Estate is no longer open to the public :-(
Do your homework first before leaving statements! DUE TO COVID-19, WE will not be re-opening for TOURS FOR THE 2022 SEASON AND THE HOUSE AND GROUNDS REMAIN CLOSED.
So the double griffon symbolizes the original owners rape and pillage of India via the East India Co. .
That dining room is done with excellent color contrasting. It is perfect. Bravo.
Fun to watch!
I so enjoyed this guided tour by such a knowledgeable gentleman. I do love places of historical interest. Thank you for sharing.
This is lovely.
Exquisite, isn't it darling?
1:21 black sabbath bro
hicks727 yep
hicks727 The dam busters
Then it's off to the tea room for some Sabbath scones!
Rock on 🤘
Would have been cool to hear “The Wizard” over the end credits
"There's been a number of occupants over the years.." "there's"? "there >have< been.." Don't forget subject-verb agreement.
Louis XIV did not married Maria Leszczyńska... Louis XV did! in 1725.
Right! Louis XIV married a spanisch princess: María Teresa de Austria, Later, at old age, after the passing of Maria Teresa he married morganaticately Francoise d´Aubigné, later marquise de Maintenon.
@@Darrigrande He’s way off the mark with his dates, it’s true, but Marie Leszcyńska did popularise the lit à la polonaise in France which then spread elsewhere, hence this particular bed much later in England.
Wonderful
