I wonder about perhaps a pavilion (steels and glass free-floating) built over the billiard room and also the tea pavilion? If you were have a outer structure you could leave the ceilings and walls as they are (at least for the time being) and have the delicious atmosphere of a Mrs. Havisham set? Expensive? Yes, but no more so than new roofs with the chance of losing the charm of all those lovely beams. Just a thought. The Della Robbia mantle is beautiful!
Facinating! I've just watched, & purely by chance, a video called 'Castle Leslie - The Big Houses 'Survivors' - BBC - Desmond, Sean, & Sammy Leslie - 1994' uploaded by Luke Leslie only 7 days ago (it's now 1.6.24) - Well worth watching 👍 - appears to be a much earlier video inc the young lass who's cooking &, I presume, her Father. No mention of any raving though?
Meeting Sir Jack, knowing where my great uncle (Msgr William A. Hemmick) stayed when he visited his best friend Sir Shane, is an experience my husband and I will never forget. This video is beautiful, but, hopefully, a new one will be made with the riding trails, the barn, the chapel included. Thank you, Sammy, for preserving the past for the present!
What a fantastic estate,so many facets to it,does Ireland and Monaghan proud,the Scots thread to it brings in another line in,the interchange between Scotland and Ulster for thousands of years. Epitomised here.oozes charm and history. Erin agus Alba gu brath.
Well Scottish in this case lol. Pet peeve of mine when people use those interchangeably. Also they’re not necessarily unionist, some of them were nationalist
Thank You to the Leslie family for sharing their love for their Castle.

The late, great, Sir Robert Hardy brought me here.

I'm not sure exactly what I thought dry rot was, but I sure didn't think it was a fungus.
got drunk in the little pub outside the gates about 30 years or so ago.
I know this is an old video. It’s sponsored by Suzuki. The lady drives to the manor in a Suzuki sedan. They stopped selling them here 8 years ago
this place gave me the absolute creeps I got a real sense of something here
LOL
I like her. Besides what's wrong with being excentric?
A big ‘Ouse,in a wee village....🤨
I tak żydzi przejęli zamek irlandczykow teraz mamy nową historie
Preserving this monstrosity, preserves the reign of the English oppression

@@sams3015but you understand why so many were burned down yes ? It’s a symbol as well you know.
