My mother used to work in Burghley before the war and followed her husband to live in The Netherlands. In 1955 she took all of us (4 kids) to see the magnificent House. I have to go back to show my kids and grandchildren what beauty is all about.
I’ve been here many times. It’s beautiful to sit in the fields by it. I live only 30 mins away if that.
You're so lucky 💙
You are so very lucky. I shall never get to see it in my lifetime.
Have been there 3 times. Fabulous ❤️❤️
I'm jealous. What a beautiful sight to see.
You're so fortunate to live so close to an historic treasure! I feel like I was born in the wrong century ever since I was a child. Everything prior to WW2 was architecturally built with "art" in mind. Towns were laid out carefully by men who were artists and architects themselves as opposed to developers. The buildings were a reflection up on the men that built the structures from laying the first masonry stone for the foundation to applying the final coat of paint to the exteriors. Not to mention the gardeners and landscapers that would frame the structures artfully with trees, bushes, shrubs, flowers that bloomed from spring to fall. All that has been lost in the post -industrial modern world we live in today.
I live in Australia & would love to come to England & visit all the stately historical homes the history is incredible just to sleep in one of these homes rooms would be amazing feel the energy of so much incredible history. Oh to be born from some noble family with an incredible country house would be just fantastic. Amazing !!
One of my most favorite British historical houses, Burghleys Manor, has got the most gorgeous absolutely gorgeous gardens, and treasures inside indeed!
I’m a Lincolnshire lass... living abroad. I miss my home county. This is a glorious, historically important house. I’ve been several times to the 3 day events but would love to visit the house. ( our whole garden is just big enough for a badminton court!!!)
My favorite parts of these homes is the wood work and the fire places. How beautiful and breath taking the designs and colors bring life to those rooms. If ghosts could tell the story of all who entered and what took place there in private! MAGNIFICENT and BEAUTIFUL!
Hello ,how are you doing
Hello.how are you doing
this is what you call living history. i love it!
How stunningly beautiful. To think how many centuries it has seen and, perhaps, endured at times. It must feel a great responsibility to take on the running of this place. If only walls could talk eh? The portraits are beyond words. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Wonderful beautiful !
How sweet it was to see the children’s toys in the inner courtyard....more of these PLEASE!
This house is overwhelmingly beautiful, can't wait till travel is back on an even fitting and can visit someday.... Miranda has the same diction as Lady Diana...
Wow I thought the same!
How could Cecil afford this grand showcase of a house ? He was the Lord High TREASURER .
He also had charge of all the rich noble orphans and their estates. He fined the earl of Southampton 5000 pounds for refusing to marry his grandaughter, a fortune in Elizabethan times.
I lived nearby till I was 7 years old, and remember a visit to the house when I was about 5 or 6, it seemed so huge! I found out much more recently my great, great, great grandad was the on-site carpenter to the house for decades in the 1800s, and his wife and family of 10 kids lived in a cottage on the grounds. Wish I knew more than that about their lives (I just know what census records offer).
I’m a regular queen. I see myself, I click 😎

I’ve seen this comment elsewhere too.
William Cecil was one of my 12th great grandfathers.
Woo hop I’m on the thumbnail :D
Bravo Your Majesty 👏👏👏
Jolly good 👏

Thanks for the tour and history lesson
Beautiful. The best thing about England is the magnificent visionaries that made it what it is today.
Really interesting and I enjoyed. However, I’m disappointed that you didn’t show more about how a modern family - 4 youngsters - live in this antique, surrounded by antiques. I assume that the family enjoys more modern, 20th/21st century living quarters and that the youngsters don’t have the run of the historic areas. Common sense. But, it would have been nice to have this addressed.
@@carlwilson5932 WHY in the world are you sorry??? I really do not get it. I see that exclamation a lot and ask the same question without any answer to date. I have been asking more than 5 years without 1 single answer. Please, Carl Wilson BE THE FIRST ! Sincerely and with best regards, I remain, Sentebey in Los Angeles, California, USA at the age of 78.

Beautiful and the history preserved is amazing.
Wow. Lucky you 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Outstanding home 🏠 of UK. I love it. And Lord Burly would be so proud that his family's still Keeper it going for so many years.
Have you had Queen Elizabeth ll come for dinner and a stay? If not, as of Prinçe Philip, "Get on with it."
I am a little confused. I thought that she is the natural ancestral successor to the home and estate, and so why did she have to be selected to live there? Beautiful home!
Tom Richter because of the very high taxes and costs to keep a building to this standard many ancestral successors released their properties to the National Trust. Basically she applied to manage what was her ancestral home. A win win situation.
@@iriswaterford8881 that's so interesting, thank you. I wondered how on earth they could afford the upkeep. So basically the tax payer pays for it? I assume the National Trust is funded from taxpayers?
@@sandrabentley8111 in a sense the trust is there to make sure that this home is kept to a high standard. The people who visit pay as well as tax payers. It might sound like double dipping however beautiful ancestral homes would have fallen to rubble or sold to oversea people. The family employed as managers also are paid through the trust via tax money, and of course they also pay tax.
@@iriswaterford8881 I would dissagree , speaking as somebody who has blue blood in my viens it is a insult and a outrage. But sadly a reality due to outrageous taxes.
Many great houses were(and are)what is known as "Entailed"That is they are joined to the person that inherits the title (Duke,Marquess,Earl etc)Burghley was not entailed.
The Burghley House Preservation Trust Limited was established as a charity in 1969 by the Sixth Marquess of Exeter for the advancement of historic and aesthetics
Lady Victoria Leatham (Granddaughter of the 6th Earl) He arranged (with the trustees)so that Victoria could take over the running of Burghley.from and did sofrom 1982 t0 2007.The Sixth Marquess having died in 1981.The house is now run by Victoria's Daughter Miranda(Rock]The present title is held by Michael,the 8th Marquess of Exeter,who lives in Canada.
Beautiful place, grounds are stunning, Missing UK (due to virus)
Myself. Even having a British Passport the quarantine hotel fees etc are astronomical. I can't wait to go home. ♥️
beautifully presented.
This is a stunningly kept up an loved abode... Breath takingly so... Your country is so special an fascinating because your History goes back so far an still can touch it smell it keep it .. it's why America is so lost ... If that makes sense!! ✌🏻💗😊❣️
It’s GOOD to be the treasurer!
Hello, I’m sorry for infringe on your profile, you are wonderful and I would definitely love to be your friends , get to know more about you ..here’s my email carlwilson685@gmail.com both on hangout messenger , I would be S so happy to hear from you..thank you
@@carlwilson5932 where are you?
I'm in USA and you
Indeed
Love this amazing ❤
I don't care what anyone says history is just flat out cool.
It's a grand and beautiful place. I saw it in a film called "A Hazard of Hearts" with Diana Rigg and Helena Bonham Carter in which the house is set on a cliff overlooking the ocean. It was a surprise to learn that the actual location is in the middle of England. The closest part of the ocean is a place called The Wash.
Shame we only got to see like 3 rooms and a kitchen!? Thank God for the National Trust.
I suppose lord burleigh had very little time to spend at this magnificent palace, him being so close to the queen at all times. He was after all the holder of the most important offices of state.
This is the real England.
Lucky family!
Excellent bringing .thanks
AOW beautiful ! No wonder I am in love with England...
inheritance tax sounds very immoral..
Yep. all the way around for both Oridanary Britons and the Aristocracy. It has reduced them to mear Curatorse of there own homes instead of OWNERS. They are nolonger places of power and welth they are mearly a symobolse as to the decline the the aristocracy instead of there might .
The moss on the balcony 😅 - I don't feel so bad about the moss on my roof, now 🤣
William Cecil is most definitely in my ancestors. The house is beautiful!!
A fabulous story and documentary
Beautiful place 💝
Beautiful,hope some day be able to visit England.
Thank you
There's a portrait of Robert Devereaux at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in the Tudor period room. I go there a lot and recognized the name.
I love thease houses but the thing i hate about theses vast English "SHOW " huses is that so much work is put into the houses but it seems over the centries not enoff work is payed to the gardens. when there are gardens they seem to controlled and formal. now the gardens at Hatfield those are gardens!
The gardens here are a masterpiece of Capability Brown. They are supposed to look natural and appear as if they have always existed. Truly an English innovation whereas the gardens I think you refer to at Hatfield are mostly in the French formal style.
Finally, something other than gobbing on about Harry and his wife.
This is the REAL royal channell after all, can't have them mucking it up🙈
@@rosaakanatan 💯
I agree!🤣
🤣🤣🤣 I thought there was only room for one Wallis Simpson , turns out there isnt 🤣
Their kids are going to be something else when they're older.
Probably going to identify as "they/them"
I’m not a fan of the architecture of this house, nor the baroque paintings, but the pietra dura and marquetry pieces are amazing.
Been here it’s beautiful
Not sure when this was filmed, it's a shame they didn't film close up details of the items they featured
Magnific!
I'm always concerned about wiring and fire hazards. I hope there is proper precautions taken so we don't see a repeat of Windsor castle!!
Want to know more about the scarred Shep era of 17_19 century
Fabulous
The countess married a man who looked like the 9th Earl, one of her ancestors!
Murderer of Mary, Queen of Scots, anointed, set the precedent for Charles I.
Can you please tell me what the opening violin music is for this series?? Anyone??
Beautiful on the outside, sick on the inside.
The whole place reeks of government graft.
The interior is too italian. I prefer the original english style. It seems the inteior of italian villas for example in Veneto named palladiane.
Way way way too many ads to enjoy this program. I counted ads every 6 minutes! It's too hard to concentrate.
The police, the doctor, the nurse, the water company, the electricity company, the fire department, the government, and the various urban liaisons cannot be quarantined, which, if quarantined, means lawlessness.
Absolutely stunning vision of Hell. That's where I want to go, can't imagine spending eternity with the likes who think they're going to heaven. Cecil built Burghley. One hundred years later Fouquet built Vaux. Both spectacular, both Finance Ministers!
This house has Twizzler's Problem. You can see it coming out from under the basement and crawlin' up the sides of the walls. Which Ancestor is THAT?
How did the owners of these places make a need for all the square footage?
Burley looks a lot like the house they filmed downtown Abby in,
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert are wrongly referred to as Their Majesties.
Queen ey! How did you get that then? By exploiting the workers!
The huge paintings (master pieces ) on the walls are down right ugly !
loathsome
Elizabeth was my love in a previous life
Say more. My own past lives were ALL very ordinary to there times and places.
@ Real Cajun Vincent Prince Harry and the Dutchess are minding their business layout seem obsessed. Enjoy 😉 this incredible doc and leave Diana's son alone.
“Is this what heaven is really like…fat bottomed men and women” 😂😂😂 I hope so….
To think where the wealth came from to build this and others similar to this.
The fact that the majority of English country homes/palaces were built during the era of the British empire indicates that the finance used to build them came from dubious sources to say the least!!
Jesus of Lubeck slave ship
The queen pays this guy the equivalent of millions a year to do a job !!??? - WHERE IS THE MONEY COMING FROM !!!???? - The 5th earls debts were settled by who ??? - these guys are just galavanting around europe collecting stuff - this kind of thing has happened all over this country and you've got the peasantry scraping around in a ditch trying to survive.
That's definitely not a real view of heven if you talking about biblical heven ....looks like Roman pagan heven 🙄
Right. Also cherubims in the Bible are four winged and four headed creatures, not plumpy babies with small wings.
How did he acquire so much money from Elizabeth 1st yo build Burleigh….or was it yet again taxpayer monies.
That "home"... is TARTARIAN. From before the last reset. These parasite controllers simply moved in.

Have fun and ask Christians what they conceive of Heaven to be. You will be stunned. My parents and aunts could not describe it at all. To me it always has seemed to be the most boring place thinkable, sitting on a cloud, bothered by cherubs and angels 24/7 and having to profess and sing dithyrambs of himself to some narcissistic god who does not care for us on Earth, and that for all eternity. Hmmmm. Are we sure we have described heaven and not hell?
Is it strange I feel somewhat sorry for these people!? Imagine being surrounded by so much tacky garbage, and expected to care for it as though it were your own. What of their own taste and desire? As I see it, the only difference between these people and a prisoner is the ball and chain - gold in place of iron. Such a pity to live in the shadows of another’s past. Such a pity.
Well it is a Family home. and the real shame is that they due to Taxation do not even own there own homes anylonger. essentially the British goverment has taken all there money away and and pretty much allows them to stay there.
Really sickening to see such opulence in the midst of anguished people. Beautiful to see at a later date when people live in better condition in a country that has better social condition. A bit of trivia: communism destroyed the czar’s palaces, now the communist government restored them all at great expense for the people of Russia to visit and admire.
It’s life. You either had it or you suffer. Look at your trivia, the irony of having to restore the opulence that they once hated and destroyed.
