Thank you great to see ,I lived in the gate house so all of this was my back garden.I remember picking figs and eating them in the green house happy times .
What a delightful, beautiful and informative programme. Really caught the spirit of the place and Muntham's extraordinary history. Thank you Richard and Martin!
Hello Richard I just discovered your channel. I really enjoyed watching your adventures. I live in New Hampshire USA and I feel lucky being so close to Boston and the surrounding area. Of course we only have 250 years of history so when I watch your channel and you mention 1430 or 1110 blows me away.
The garden is quite similar to the one at Ilam hall in the peak district. Over three quarters of that has been knocked down but it got stopped so a small part remains
That was a great walk - I’ve been to the crem at Worthing and I thought there must have been quite a house there as the parkland setting reminded me of that. Thank you for showing me the site of the house. This happened in so many places - tilgate springs to mind as another local example...
Hahaha! I started laughing as soon as Martin popped on screen - the man loves his orange doesn't he!😂🧡 So cool that this house had ended up in some of my relatives - the Thynnes - for a period.. Just so sad it was demolished for what it was.🤨 I mean I understand the need for places like this, but couldn't they left the house alone & just use part of the grounds for the new build? I looked up the house while you were talking. Looked like a gorgeous house! Ulrica Thynne had completely had the place redone inside & out, so it wasn't like it could have been crumbling or something. Just don't understand the demolition of this one. So sad!😔
Btw...the reason they left that one wall standing was that it has the Mumford initials on the wall (looks like a big cursive M in an ornate circle). Too bad you didn't see it.
Interesting video but shame they didn’t wander up to the private graveyard up on the downs which is the resting place of Lord Henry Frederick Thynne who passed away in 1904.
Richard Vobes Thanks for sending me the link. I stumbled on the graveyard by chance a couple of weeks ago and this prompted me to do some research; knew very little about Muntham Court prior to this. Anyway, keep up the good work and thanks again. PS. I’m told there is the remains of an old Roman well close by but have yet to investigate this.

Why on earth did the council demolish it?

thank you for the info ,, great walk looks so peaceful. I have visited that area many times.
Thanks Jane for watching! :)
Another great walk
Thanks for watching!
A lovely video. Thanks chaps.
the ovens there burn at 900 degrees centigrade , thats pretty hot ..
Great show again.
Reminds me of Leigh park gardens.
M. Duffy I don't know those. In Sussex? Thanks by the way.
It's just over the border in hants about a mile from Rowlands castle. Enjoy your shows.
Cool - thank you! :)

It is happening too often now to make way for horrid housing estates.
Richard Vobes - luckily at least at this site it was kept pretty green!
"Vandalism" - A most appropriate word Martin!
Absolutely...just how much room did they think they needed for a municipal crematorium?
Your colleague seems to have a lightning conductor sticking up from his pack.
Yes - it may even be that!
or he is just not too clued up on the whole 360 cameras yet .....and the fantastic images they can achieve....with some thought :]
How would the house have been in the way of the crem?
I don' know. The council just wanted it down I think, probably because they didn' want to pay for the upkeep.

Yes very sad.
Yes, missed that.
Should that be traced back to 1086 (Domesday book), not 1066 the invasion?
Yeah, probably!

I did that in another video - here: ua-cam.com/video/D5LBAswVCJg/v-deo.html

There must be a reason, but why knock the house down and do nothing with the land.
They say it was falling into disrepair - and it was the 60s or 70s remember when there was no respect for historic buildings.
such a waste mate
Too true!
