@cindy-wo4qt Hi Cindy! It's very much appreciated, to know you're enjoying the videos makes us very happy! We wish Kirby hadn't fallen into a state of disrepair as it was truly one of Englands finest houses... to have seen it in a fully complete fashion and full of furniture would have been amazing! We enjoyed our tour and used our imaginations as to how it would have looked... have a great day, all good wishes Neil and Ant 😊

@cindy-wo4qt Hi Cindy! Thankyou so much for watching and taking the time to comment, we really appreciate it. We loved every minute at Haddon it's a really magical place... the gardens are the icing on the cake! Sending our very best wishes to you in Texas ... Neil and Ant 😊

@michaelwoodbodley8099 Hi Michael! Thanks for watching, so pleased you enjoyed Nostell... we will certainly mention it, thankyou for the feedback. To date from all the videos we have done the only houses with family still in occupation are Charlecote Park, Kedleston Hall, Oxburgh Hall, Deene Park, Blenheim, Castle Howard and Doddington Hall... we will certainly mention here on in. Nostell is a fabulous place especially with its unique collection of Chippendale furniture we really enjoyed seeing it. Sending you our best wishes, Neil and Ant 😊

@@chrisisjustme7546 Thank you for your detailed feedback.

@donfranktv Hi Don! Thanks for your great comment, so pleased you enjoyed Kirby Hall. The stonework is exceptional, apparently from the most ruined parts locally stone was used from the house in building projects up to the early 1900s so there's properties with some wonderful bits of stonework that were salvaged from the house! Hope you're well and as ever we send you our best wishes, Neil and Ant 😊

@@antsadventures149 Thankyou ❣️

@equal722 Thankyou so much for your very kind comment and for watching we really appreciate it... we loved exploring Bramall Hall it is a very atmospheric and interesting house... sending our very best wishes to you 😊

@Satu-zs7gm Hi! Thankyou so much for watching and commenting we really appreciate it... we found out it was last lived in at the end of the 1800s by a shepherd. He kept sheep in parts of the house... people would still travel to see Kirby at this time and they would eat picnics in the crumbling grand rooms... at that time there was still some furniture and tapestries etc but all were rotting away and rats ran throughout the house... a very sad end to what had been the greatest Elizabethan House in England... Best wishes to you 😊

@jennycarter1149 Jenny it's a very magical place !!! We spent a really nice few hours exploring the castle and grounds! Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🥰

@jennycarter1149 Hi Jenny , there's a trust in place now, they've already re roofed the house and almost completed restoration of the coach house and stables... we understand that they hope to gradually refurnish the house 😊

@jennycarter1149 Hi Jenny! Isn't it just fabulous, it's known as the Palace of the Peak, the same family living there since it was built. They had just had all the stone floors cleaned prior to opening for the 2024 season they looked amazing... There's a lot of carved wood in the house and I'm pretty sure there's Grinling Gibbons work there so well spotted! The house is huge and visitors get to see only a small number of the rooms, we believe some of the private family rooms are equally stunning. So pleased you enjoyed taking a look around with us 😀 Hope you're having a great weekend and we send you our very best wishes 😊

@@chrisisjustme7546 thankyou for answering. I plan to follow your travels in the future. I've been an English Castle follower for years. Bought numerous books on the subject. I also love reading about the English aristocracy, up til the Americans invaded the English houses, (Jenny Churchill etc.) I have read a lot about the family of Chatswood house as well. nny churchill

Please excuse the "nny churchill"(omitted to delete🤭)

@jennycarter1149 predictive text is my nemesis too lol 😆

@wixom01 Hi! Thanks for watching... if you look closely just after the grand hall / staircase segment there is a piece of the original Elizabethan/ Tudor panelling on display in a room before we enter the grand bedchamber, along with some lovely pieces of stone carving... I think it must have looked so beautiful! Such a shame the house fell into disrepair and the contents were lost... Sending our very best wishes to you 😊

@himanshusingh4451 there's a place near Alton Towers , a private school called Denstone college ... looks just like Hogwarts! Thanks for watching! Best wishes to you 😊

@carolberesford4789 Hi Carol! Thankyou so much! We really enjoyed exploring Kirby Hall, it's such a fascinating old place... if you stand in the gardens and look back at the house on first glance it doesn't look like a ruin. It is certainly worth visiting the area it's well worth going to see. We hope you have a lovely weekend... all good wishes sent your way, Neil and Ant 😊

@morgsjoboo2247 Good morning! Thanks so much! We had a great time exploring Kirby Hall... can you imagine being able to fully restore it, it would be superb. The gardens used to go as far as the eye can see and were described as the finest in England. The house was full of statues too... wonder where they all are now. We hope you have a lovely weekend, a sunny one too fingers crossed 🤞 best wishes sent your way, Neil and Ant 😊

Hi Annie! We were blown away by Deene Park and by the very lovely lady of the house Charlotte... she made our visit both memorable and special with her charming and informative conversation. The house is simply beautiful, unspoilt and very much a family home. The gardens are truly magical, we literally lost our selves wandering around them... the fragrance from the plants is so strong, nature's eau de cologne at its very best! Thankyou so very much for watching and for appreciating this wonderful old house... fond wishes from both of us sent to you 😊

@@chrisisjustme7546 Hi lads! My pleasure as always. Well, I can certainly see why Deene Park would have indeed 'blown you away.' But I'm glad you landed back on your feet again! LOL. Visiting Deene Park must indeed have been even more special due to being so warmly welcomed by the kind 'lady of the House." One does not hear of that too often! What a blessing! Thank you again for sharing this beautiful place! Have a glorious day lads! Blessings! 🌻🌞

@@Annie4Always 🥰

Hi Annie! Thankyou for another wonderful comment... Oxburgh remains special due to the family still living there , it makes such a difference. The house is a real eclectic mix of styles inside , predominantly victorian but there are many other touches spanning the centuries. We particularly loved the full moat still being in tact and the kitchen gardens with seasonal vegetables all ready to be picked! We hope you have a wonderful weekend and send you our fondest wishes from Deryshire to your home... Neil and Ant 😊

@@chrisisjustme7546 MY pleasure lads! Aye! "Tis so true! Oxburgh has the warm ambience of being not only lived in but also really loved!. Thanks again for sharing this wonderful place!! Enjoy your weekend! ☀🌞

@Annie4Always Thanks Annie! Sutton Scarsdale is only 30 minutes from our home, it still looks magnificent standing on the hill commanding attention from anyone within a mile or so. Walking around you get a real feel of the flow of the rooms and how they connected it must have been a glorious place in its hey day. So pleased you enjoyed looking around with us... as always we really enjoy your thoughtful comments and we appreciate your wonderful support of our small channel... all the very best 😊🥰

@@chrisisjustme7546 Always a pleasure lads! Wow! You are so blessed to live in this beautiful area! What a joy & delight! It is just wonderful & greatly appreciated that you take the time to film & share with us your delightful adventures in beautiful England. Thank you so much! Have a peaceful night!🎑🌠

@Annie4Always Hi Annie! Yes wouldn't it be fabulous! We were imagining how it would look restored full of beautiful antiques... oh to click your heels together 3 times and see it fully restored! Thankyou for your wonderful comment and for watching... sending you our very best wishes for a great weekend, Neil and Ant 😊

​@@chrisisjustme7546 Hi lads! 'Tis my pleasure! Aye! 'Twould indeed be fabulous to see this wonderful Hall restored! Let's hope & pray some wealthy' heel clicker' somewhere will see its rich potential & do just that! Thanks again for sharing! Wishing you a lovely weekend too lads! Blessings!💃🏰🌠

@jamesallison4875 Hi James! Thankyou for such a lovely comment... so pleased you enjoyed it! The house feels full of atmosphere and I'd imagine it holds many secrets... Wishing you a great weekend and sending you our very best wishes 😊

@@inbetween-days Hi Dave and Dawn! Thanks so much for watching guys... It's an extraordinary place! We noticed that there's actually a fair chunk still roofed and glazed, the top floor which you don't see and a fair bit more on the ground and 1st floor [ possibly unsafe? ] we guess the intact parts must've been lived in until the last century... If the house was still intact and furnished it would without doubt be amongst the finest in England. We hope you have a lovely weekend and we send you our very best wishes 😀

Thank you! 😊

@thomascoffin4799 Hi Thomas, thanks for watching and commenting... the arkwright family who owned the house at the time were more interested in raising money from selling the house bit by bit rather than saving it sadly... for them saving the house was unimportant. The National Trust would almost certainly have taken the house on had it been offered to them... all good wishes sent to you 😊

@@chrisisjustme7546 okay can't wait!!

@user-tx5pc3ib5x Hi Gabriele... Thankyou so much for watching and for the great comment... it is very atmospheric, it felt very peaceful too... there are very few images of how it looked before it was stripped and the roof removed sadly so it's down to imagination and intuition... you can see the interior of 2 x rooms if you Google Philadelphia museum/ Sutton scarsdale as they bought 2 of the rooms interiors. Sending you our best wishes 😊
