    Built in the mid 1800s, this HUGE Mansion was originally a private school.
    Due to degrading grades and poor exam results, it closed its doors in 1993.
    After this a Christian missionary group aquired the building and gave teachings, activities and Worship to its groups.

    Wow, thank you guys for this. If the walls could talk. Lots of mixed emotions watching this, I was there at Pierrepont School from 1976-1979,
    then 1981-1983. Made friends for life and still stay in touch with many of them. So many memories, we could narrate of all for you with stories. Unbelievable, yet so sad to see it in state it’s in. Cheers lads

    I was a pupil there from 1981-1986 when it was a school. I visited myself at the end of last summer when the former owners were about to close it down, so guessing you were there shortly afterwards. I could tell you loads about how it all worked as a school, which had good and very bad sides to it. Still, was a real formative place in my life and visiting brought back so many memories. Even after having visited myself fairly recently, was really nice to enjoy it again with you.

      @@joecole7122 Sorry Joe, no idea. I left there as a school in 1986 and there were baths in the bathrooms back then. It carried on as a school for a few years after I left and then has been occupied by a fairly out-there christian cult for a good few years - who knows what happened in those intervening years!

    Just want to point out something I’ve noticed about asbestos in your videos, them little red stickers are actually what’s made from asbestos not a warning sign for rooms etc (they stick them directly on what’s made from asbestos), all the fire doors will be asbestos and boarding, tiles etc, also in most cases asbestos poses no threat whatsoever aslong as you don’t disturb it which in these explorations and environments is fairly hard to do as most materials are non freyable. The only form of asbestos I would personally stay clear of and be very cautious around is loose fill insulation and pipe lagging (the stuff where you can physically see the asbestos fibre), again not usually a threat if untouched but even drafts can disturb that stuff. I’m sure you already know this but just will leave it for any others too.

    FYI - I went to this school in 1970-3. The way you guys sneak around reminds me of slipping off for a ciggy. Have to say that you found areas that I never saw. Staff quarters and domestic staff areas.

    Wow. What a wonderful trip down memory lane. I was at Pierrepont 88-93, and it closed the Summer after my A-Levels. Would have loved to have seen you explore the rest of the grounds - the old classroom block, the sports hall etc.
    The room you really liked with the shields and the falling down ceiling was the library, and the pool table was in what used to be the music room. The main hall with all the chairs was where we had assembly.
    I half expected you to go up onto the roof and find all the graffiti we left up there!🤭

    I know a friend who went there, seems all the local schools are like that now. My old one nearby closed about 3 yrs ago and they are still deciding what to do with it. Another local girls school is now an old peoples home. Oak panelled private schools all going bankrupt.

    I hope this estate won't be destroyed and taken down. It is a beautiful place, and so massive. Seems a shame to take it out. Anyways, I loved the tour. Thanks to all of you guys. Ed, Ned, and Alex. Always enjoy your videos.

    You should have reconnected the bells to the mechanism.
