    You took the words right out of my mouth "jaw dropping" I think if I were to visit in person it would just stop me in my tracks. The heaven room is just that, Heavenly😇 now I remember it from the Da Vinci code. Thank you so much for sharing your passion. Heritage needs to be preserved and we need more people like you to do just that. Another one on my bucket list. Hope to make it one day. Greetings from Ontario, Canada🇨🇦❤

    I’m an American. My ancestor was the son of Brownlow Cecil, 8th Earl of Exeter. His name was Robert Burleigh the 1st. He was the younger brother and never inherited the title of Earl. He migrated to the colony of North Carolina and became a furniture maker where he eventually joined the NC militia and fought against the British. Very interesting life story.

    I had the good fortune to visit Burghley House with Harry (Henry) Floyd, a friend and classmate from New Mexico Tech, in winter 1979. Harry's mom was descended from William Cecil, who built Burghley House. Harry knew all the secret passages and other areas not open to the public and we had a great time exploring everything. My only regret was that the snuff bottle collection was not on display at the time. Burghley House is indeed a treasure!

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share such informative and beautifully done videos. I am visiting England in 2024, and I wasn't familiar with Burghley House before yesterday, when it was suggested for a stop on my trip. You have given such an excellent overview, that I not only want to rewatch P&P, but also DaVinci Code so I can enjoy some of the opulent parts of the estate before I come visit! I am subscribing to your channel and will watch more of your videos!

    Dude, you know I love your videos. You have the most engaging manner. Be that as it may, I always remember that old real estate maxim, “location, location, location.” I always wonder about these grand houses and where they sit, today. Sure, I may live in one of England’s grandest Grade 1-listed homes, but does my house sit across the street from an Aldi or public housing? I mean a lot can happen in a few hundred years. So, here’s my query: You may choose a three-hundred-year-old grade-listed pile which now abuts a Tesco or a new mansion in Surrey? Me? I will be in Surrey with my A/C. I am American after all and you’re most welcome to spend the summer…

    Burghley House was built by William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley KG PC (13 September 1520 - 4 August 1598) who was an English statesman, the chief adviser of Queen Elizabeth I for most of her reign, twice Secretary of State (1550-1553 and 1558-1572) and Lord High Treasurer from 1572. He modelled Burghley House on the once majestic and now lost Richmond Palace, which was a royal home to British royalty long before Buckingham Palace even existed. William Cecil frequented and stayed at Richmond Palace. As a mark of loyalty and in case he would receive the monarch as a guest, he cleverly modelled Burghley House on Richmond Palace, so the monarch would be in familiar surroundings and their court and entourage would seamlessly adapt to the surroundings. When one looks at Burghley House, one actually looks upon Richmond Palace.
