- We had a lucky Explore unlike most others, if you do think about going here my advice would be dont!! You are likely to bump into the crazy guy walking around with a Baseball Batt!!
Bit of History... Bulstrode is a large park and mansion to the southwest of the Buckinghamshire town centre of Gerrard's Cross in the English Home Counties. The estate, that spreads across Chalfont St Peter, Gerrards Cross and Fulmer, predates the Norman conquest and the name may originate from the Anglo-Saxon words burh (marsh) and stród meaning (fort). [1]
Recently also used as the film set for Johnny English!!
Lived there from '85 to '92 with my parents during its period as a missionary headquarters. Also went up the bell tower as a kid, but unlike you, I climbed up the outside. When you explored the tunnel in the lawn bank which opens out into a large room on the left, if you had shone your light at the base of the left wall as you entered the room, you would have noticed another, smaller tunnel doubling back and leading away from the building down the hill. This was a real squeeze to get down even for a 13 year old me - more like pot-holing - which eventually led to a small exit point in the potato field at the bottom of the lawn. That was 35 years ago. It may have been bricked up since then.
I remember you
...I was a working there as a volunteer (and living there) 20 years ago, seeing this brings back lovely memories. Cleaned many of those corridors and rooms (lots of cleaning gone to waste now ;-). Sad to see the state of the place. I do hope it will be restored to its former glory and that people will live in it again, I remember it as a really lively and warm place!
Such a shame that vandals feel the need to destroy such beautiful places. I certainly wouldn't have wanted to live in a place like that, I would never have known who was living with me 😂. Loved the video, thanks.
The more people that know about it.. the more that will ruin it.
I remember spending the summer of 1981 here doing mission work with TMI when it was the Worldwide Evangelization Crusade headquarters. The rose gardens were beautiful. Best summer of my life; I was 16. Met some local people, went to Windsor and London. I remember playing on the big lawn the day Charles and Diana got married. We got the day off. If anybody who remembers that summer sees this, I would like to get in touch. Kenny, Brian, Sonya, Lucy, Robin, Patty, . . .. .33 of us as I remember.
Currently binge watching your channel I'm hooked great content 😊👌
Same his videos are so good 👍
@@eppityrrell8236 I still watch him religiously now his channel is great and he is a nice guy and is respectful to the sites he goes to😊👍
I actually live near this place been inside a hand full of times it’s a grate explore and Jonny English and EastEnders was filmed there 😁 would not to go anymore BEEN SOLD and people look after it now security dogs are on sight and such a shame that it was all smashed up but lucky I was one of the first to explore
Thank goodness it has been sold bloody can't stand vandals what do thugs get out of wasting historical places
I too have lots of fond memories of this place. Visited it off and on since 1978. The botanical gardens were refreshing, especially after a long stint in the Arabian deserts. I have many fond memories... wish it was still open to visitors. The tower was a great place to hang out with youth, and many of the rooms hold fond memories of conferences, meetings, and meals in the dining hall with people from all around the world. Too bad the upkeep costs were too much for WEC to continue there. At least they got a good price for it.
I lived there over 35 years ago as a language student and have great memories of that time. Back then the mansion belonged to a Christian Organization. So very sad to see it abandoned...hopefully whoever bought it will restore it to its former glory!
Thanks guys, really interesting to see. Like quite a few of the commenters, I lived and worked at the house, though not for long. It's a listed building and we can only hope that the new owners will make it weatherproof and secure, and plan a sympathetic restoration.
My parents are Howard and Gill Sayers and I lived here with my sister Julie and brother Tim in the 80's.Its such a shame to see the beautiful house in this poor state and I know it's got a lot worse and the builders have stripped out a load of the stunning features that were there.Hope it sells again and someone with a load of money and vision can bring the house back to life again.Shame to see the mindless vandalism going on too Thankyou for sharing and bringing back so many memories.Pauline x
i am new to your channel and the thing i love about your videos is that they are raw and not staged....i think you deserve much more subscribers than you have...so i'm going to promote your channel all over my facebook and instergram channels...good luck buddy and keep up the good work...
This place in unbelievable huge! Beautiful artwork details on the ceilings, around the borders of the ceilings, also the pillars. Excellent video!
A pity you had to get out because of those clowns, would loved to have seen more of this place, wish I'd come across this video sooner. Freat job sharing anyway. Thanks.
Cool video. I know the man in there ready to go off if you're caught. two videos of this place and would love to see the inside of this place. I know everyone running from the Man. Thank you for getting what You Could.
I enjoy your videos, but I’m hard of hearing. Some of your videos do have closed captioning, and I really appreciate that. Please consider closed captioning for all of your videos. I’m sure I’m not your only hard of hearing viewer. This super mansion was beautiful, but keeping up with your narration would have made it even better. God bless you and your team, and all of you stay safe. Posting from South Carolina.
I am completely deaf and do rely solely on the closed captions. Unfortunately it is 50/50 whether captions are on this channel's videos and hopefully Colin can/will have captions on all his future content soon.
I lived here for four years prior to it being sold on to the hotel developers (2011-2015). I'm absolutely gutted to see this place in the state it's in.
We lived there in what was the Duke and Dutchess bedroom made into a flat. Our shower was in a round room on one of the corners of the building with tall narrow windows and interior shutters on the second floor. We were there for 4 years with two of our boys being born in one of the bedrooms in a birthing pool. We served WEC by doing maintenence and remodeling. 1994-1998.
Such amazing architecture in this place. This is such an amazing video.
WOW is the best word you can think of mate and I agree and you haven't even got into the house yet
This is a brilliant exploration. I thought the jet factory was your best but now I think it's this one 👍
Why don’t they use it parsley for the homeless or make apartments. This place is so beautiful and the history. If Thea’s walls can talk what would they say & what have seen.
I found your channel yesterday. And have watched 9 videos are far epic stuff
The sound is so low couldnt hear a thing!
Totally stunning, good find 👍
Believe it or not, I lived there as a child in the 60’s when the church group we belonged to bought it.
Hi, I am new to your channel.
Love the rawness of the videos, love your interest in the sites you visit, your empathy for them and the respect you show.
I really do not understand why people are saying they can't hear you. I have had no issues with hearing you in any of your videos that I have watched.
Keep up the good work and stay safe. 😊👍
lynn berry thank you Lynn, it may be due to how people are watching my videos maybe? Not sure but I’m working on a fix so everyone can watch with no problems ☺️ thank you for your kind comments 💕
@@TheBeardedExplorer hi again, if it helps, I've watched on my TV, tablet, and my phone. With no issues at all.
I like the calmness of your voice as it gives an air of respect ♥️. But it's like they say, "you can't please all of the people all of the time" 🙄
Some great craftsmanship same cannot be said for the Numb skulls that scribble and damage these amazing properties. But other wise great video.
This was at some point i would say either a dormitory or a carers house , because you can see everywhere fire exit signs on walls, fire proof doors and "brake glass in case of fire" as well. Anyway another great video mate 👍👍
You should of shouted at those kids in stead of walking away yer you don’t want to be involved but to just let them destroy a place and walk away that’s sad ☹️
Absolutely awesome well done 👍🏻
Hi. Really beautiful woodwork and decor here. How long has it been empty. I hope someone will save this one. Stupid vandals. Too bad we didn't get to see the rest of it. Thank you for sharing your video and stay safe.
Great video, amazing place..why on earth would anyone want to destroy it !! in my opinion you did the right thing getting out of there..
When my folks were “airlifted” by mercenaries in 1964 from the Congo - they came to Bulstrode (as they were of WEC), for their debriefing and “recuperation” from the trauma and astrocities of the Congo, rebels, before settling in S Wales.
When are you going back. Would love to see moooore..
BRILLIANT castle and beautiful architecture if the tunnel are from a building before they maybe a storeroom and a escape root out of the keep
Thank you nice video Beautiful Mansion
Breaks my heart to see this place like this... lived there with my family when I was a kid... for a long while it belonged to a Christian organization, home to many families from all over the world
Wow that’s amazing! Hopefully it will be restored to its former glory soon!
I spent a full summer here. It was a wonderful experience.
Hi WEC sib--Bulstrode was one of our "homeplaces" too:)
Wow
Beautiful mansion.
Iv never lived there 😅 but in saying that its a stunning place ✨
Oh my goodness how beautiful. There is no need for vandalism in this place. Some people have no respect for property. They all Ned to be arrested.
Any DRAGONS in the dungeon? The Architecture is marvellous! The Gargoyles were scary!
John Lennon playing at the cinematic parts 🔥🔥
I like the yard and that mansion looks like a castle
Oh my goodness, if I were you guys when you were up in the Clocktower, I would’ve made moaning sounds or ghostly sounds in those kids would’ve ran for the words!You should have scared the Dickens out of them! Then maybe they wouldn’t be out there vandalizing the place.
Young hooligans breaking glass, do that at your own house and see how it works.
I'm sure at one point someone owned this but then some business took it over especially because the exit signs and fire pull stations
Did you get any background information on this place
Absolutely brilliant
Would of told those kids to clear off, why wouldn't you
Visited it yesterday, it was in a really bad shape as walls were demolished etc
Amazing and beautiful place, it would be sad to see this place crumble into ruin....it looks like it has been looked after at one time. The graffiti is maddening but I am glad there isn’t more. Thanks for the exploration 👍
15:55, be freaky if you looked down and saw... yourselves walking around, the clock tower to another dimension ... You could have really surprised that group of teenagers, they didn't notice you!
That sounds like an episode of The Twilight Zone. I would have been tempted to scare the shit out of those kids just for a laugh but you never know if it would turn nasty.
What a great girl nothing worried her she just went on ahead ideal partner for an explorer
It is so sad to see a house that we knew so well in such a bad state after just a couple of years of neglect, with no guards protecting it. Hope the Arab owner hurries up and gets on with developing it before it is vandalised further. The clock should not be open to teh elements like that! So sad.
How do u find these places.nice video.beautiful building.
Please add captions for your amazing videos. There are many who cannot hear and would be a great thing if they could read what you're talking about on each exploration.
I saw a video a video of someone exploring this same place. Looked like at the time, there was people renovating an area.
The begging tower was for a bell!
So long walk in all hause and video very short, i need see more.😯
The buildings look like an old dormitory or a private school. Its beautiful, wish it could be restored, a retreat would be nice. I love the places that you explore, but could you guys please leave out the bad words? It's not impressive, thanks😊
Julie Shepherd, agreed on the bad words. It’s a distraction on what we’re watching.
I would have toyed with the kids by making horrific sounds and hurling objects behind them. Why kids need to get the idea to " Lets just go smash windows for a fun day out".
Only £15k? Incredible!
It was put up for sale at 15 million. Not sure what the mission society got in the end as it was vandalized.
@@leonmarybrubaker1398 I was joking, the title is clearly a typo
Super
They should remodel or repair parts of this building...
Awesome guys looks like it was last used by local government or maybe something on them lines,what a shame its left like this it should be open to the public,as that would stop most of the vandals.
nice one man
17:19 You should have reported them 😢
Darn kids have no respect for anything anymore. That made me sick to my stomach! 😭🤬😡
When you was in the tunnels when you looked up and there was a hole in the wall that would have been a poop shoot back in the day
Sono stato in questo castello diverse volte perché la sede della Wec, missione evangelica nel mondo. Purtroppo hanno dovuto vendere, ma una parte di me è rimasta affettivamente lì. Grazie Gesù per come hai usato quel luogo.
The taxes must be extraordinarily high .
I believe places of this age should be free of taxes just like cars of a certain age, bloody criminal these places go to ruin for the sake of money.
i lived there in 1994
Should have called the police on them
Is that hotel or resort???🤯🤯🤯
I went here to explore a while ago and I was caught right away, was there security here when you went ?
I didn't enjoy this video but it had hUGE potential. You all should have gone to those kids BEFORE they started smashing windows. They probably had spray paint on them too. If people like you can teach these kids there is so much harm in what they are doing perhaps they would stop. The do not have an appreciation of history and the value of keeping these monuments of time held together for as long as possible. It wouldn't have to get ugly. You could simply teach them and ask them too respect the property of other people and perhaps tell and teach them about urban and that discussion could turn their direction from destruction to building on memories rather than destroying them.
The brickwork in the tunnels dictate
it cannot be 15 century.
Was this part of the clock Or Bell tower
She's pretty
The sound is always so low on your videos
£15,000,00 = £15,000,000 ?
He said at the very beginning it was 15 million.
Such a shame you had to cut the video short due to some mindless vandals intent on destroying a beautiful house, but a great video nonetheless
Opps need
Creepy gravel dead buildings
What amazing home would of been great detail don't make houses like that anymore
Jakarta hdr
I hope the punks that damaged the walls with their graffiti are proud of themselves! It just shows their lack of education and lack of morals!
