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...

    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.

    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.
