    My family has lived in Wentworth for hundreds of years. I was so lucky to have a tour a couple of years ago. An amazing house.

    I had the pleasure of visiting wentworth a few years ago, and I heard about it after reading Black Diamonds , which is one of my favourite books to read. The history of the house, and family is really good. I look forward to visiting it again very soon. Must say I was very impressed with the house on my first visit , not expecting it to look as good as it did. Thank you for the chance to see it once again.

    Thank you for showing some parts of the house we don't normally get to see. We've been so fortunate to have done several tours and had dinners in the marble saloon including their Regency Ball 😍. I've just purchased 2 of the old balusters which were replaced during the roof renovations, so now have my very own part of WW 😍. Absolutely love this place.

      Hi Deborah. Thank you so much for your comment and kind words. Isn’t it just the most incredible house!? I love how every time you visit there is something new to see. Being able to see the house being brought back to life is really quite special. I am very envious of your dinners in the stunning Marble Saloon!

    Thanks for this behind the scenes look. As WW is only about a 15 minute drive away I visit regularly so it's great to see the gradual improvements taking place at this wonderful historic house and gardens. The next big project is the refurbishment of the Camelia house. Can't wait!!!

    What a beautiful home. The name is reminiscent of Jane Austen's major characters Captain Wentworth and Emma Woodhouse. Wonder if it was an inspiration to Jane.

    Simply wonderful. I was most lucky to have visited in 2017 Long before scaffolding, one one of their exceedingly rare days of guided tours. What a treat and lasting impression it had on me. It has lead me to do much more research and also delve into the family history. A very fascinating topic. Many thanks indeed for sharing your very exclusive glimpse into not-seen-before spaces. Cheers

    Although it was never in such a grim condition as Wentworth Woodhouse, Stowe in Buckinghamshire has also been undergoing restoration in the last several years, including accurately refurnishing the Palladian interiors, from wihch almost every piece of furniture or sculpture was removed in 1921.. I would love to see you report on the committee's progress.

    Quite ironic that he mentions Stephen King.
    I live in Maine, Stephen King’s home state.
    I’m also a descendant of the Wentworth family, whose home is shown here.

    • @Xploreheritage
      @Xploreheritage  3 роки тому +2

      They are hoping to have most things completed by around 2044.

    • @Xploreheritage
      @Xploreheritage  3 роки тому +2

      @Eduardo Morales No, actual 2044. The main house will be finished way before that, but in terms of the the entire estate, it is really going to take a couple of decades. But, perhaps if you make a massive donation it could be sooner!

    Are they going to steamclean the outside? Those stones are, of course, filthy.

    • @Xploreheritage

      I think they have already done some work removing soot from the exterior. But I’m not sure to be honest. If I find out I’ll let you know!

    Jacob Reess Mogg is marred to a woman who is linked to this house.thats why the house got government funding for the restoration. Its a worthy cause ,but very naughty.
