- Join us in this explore as we find some of the most historical artefacts we've EVER seen!
Built in the 1500's and surrounded by 22 acres of English countryside, this Huge stately building was home to Tudors, Tsars and even Winston Churchill!
As we explore the ancient property, we discover a set of original, Hans Holbein paintings.
He was a famous royal artist and was commissioned by Henry VIII to paint these gems.
Depicting himself, his daughter Elizabeth 1 and his father Henry VII.
These paintings are worth Millions and we did contact various Art galleries so hopefully they will be rescued, restored and loved again!

This was my grandfathers house. We live just next door. We are heartbroken at its disrepair, the man that’s bought it from the Latvians ( not Polish), has done nothing with it. In the cold snap we had all the pipes burst which is why there’s so much damp. It’s very upsetting to see how it’s been neglected. Please don’t reveal where it is as it would be awful if it got vandalised.
Hi, thank you for the comment, very sorry you feel like that.
It is a real shame how something so grand and historic can get to this state.
I have been very careful as to not reveal any info about the place in the video.
I hope you found our explore respectful, we hope it is rescued!
Such a shame
I feel so sad about this whole story.
Hi yes I thought you were all very respectful, thank you
can you uy it and restore it and get archaeological experts to get grants from govt to fully restore it is a historical treasure it breaks my heart to see Tudor era mansions ( maybe palace) treasures left to rot and not restored write to King Charles ask for his help to buy it back and fully restore it
National Trust and a huge team of volunteers needed to save this building. The fireplaces are absolutely stunning.
It is a disgrace this palace is not on a national historical register, restored and a museum!
@@1Mhoram9 Agreed 100%
The real truth is my estate has tried to save these for 40 yrs and my great grandmothers estate since the 1940's until I took it over in the early 1980's. It's the falsehood of lies that they were private homes is what caused the world wars. They were public buildings state hood local area government operations. When you go through the actually architecture and construction of the originals most of it was government and public use. I own it and have plans to demo it to put in modern homes for the lower middle class. Back to stand independently at a McDonalds job instead of sick aristocracy stance that they have to be sex slaves renting rooms.
I almost cried when the camera focused on King Henry's painting since I'm a Tudor enthusiast... what a gem.. the artifacts should be in the museum already.
Thank you Alex, Ned, and that youngster Eddy, for saving this place on video. That place was huge, with so much history being just tossed off and forgotten. That's what some people want to happen. If you don't learn from the past you get to do it again. So much being left to waste.
Henry died before the 1600’s!! Most of his homes were destroyed and we know about all the others! Curtains in that home are NOT 16th century!!
We are experiencing the same in America tearing down historical statues changing names of military bases because some are offended
You are right if we do not learn from the past/history we are doomed to repeat it
@@maryloucoursen684 I know, I'm in the US, watching our past be destroyed, for the NWO way. And it's sickening to watch/
🙄
I hope some historic group takes this house on and restores it to it's original beauty and history. That's the trouble when these houses are brought by companies to turm into schools, hotels etc they ruin it.
It needs to be saved.
Well done guys. Let's hope someone/group see this and acquire it .
Shame seeing these old beautiful buildings being left to rot. Another great find guys 👍
It is Lee, at least we get to raise awareness in some cases!
Cheers for watching
@@VacantHaven is it on the market?
It really angers me that these old historical buildings have had so many owners and that they are left in this state. When you own a home of any age you are the caretaker of that property and you should respect and care for it. I hope that if it is demolished the old old oak beams and paneling that aren't damaged by mould and fungi can be saved as well as the portraits and tiles etc. Fantastic video guys . Thank you.
like nannau hall near me owner just left it ti rot
Please-why hasn’t the National Trust become aware and involved?
I couldn’t finish watching it. It’s heartbreaking to people who aren’t in the family…..
People buy these old houses quite cheaply but they can't afford the upkeep afterwards so they just let them rot like nannau hall near me
This Tudor building really had some great architecture inside. Awesome Explore Boys.
Incredible exploration and a wonderful channel. I found you yesterday and have now seen you go into a bungalow bunker, a WWII machine gun nest, a hidden military base mine, and now this venerable old house - so full of decayed splendor.
I'm in Florida, USA (a decidedly less historic locale) and I can't say how much I appreciate this glimpse of your country's history. So glad I found your channel and love the respect you show for each place. Thank you!
P.S. I loved the comment about the Dalek plunger
The property has as much in common with the US as the UK check out Sir Curtis Miranda Lampson and his son might have been even able to save the Russian Tzars
What a great explore, it was Latvians who lived there, i found some info on net from the memorial plaque it dates back to 1576 and a lot of very famous people lived there.
I don’t understand how such an important historical building could be neglected like that. If I were a rich person, I’d love to bring it back to life. I can almost picture a secret garden on that property.
I am with you & 💯 Agree.
Money..
This place is so huge, big, and beautiful. Thank you guys so much for the video tour. I loved every minute you filmed. WOW, what a place. Everytime you looked out of a window, it was almost like viewing a neighborhood, and not the same house. This mansion is an architectural enigma.
Can just imagine how splendid this house must of looked in its day. I hope those paintings can be saved and preserved as well as the fire grates and surrounds. Thanks Alex Ned and Eddie Mercury brilliant explore as usual xxx
What a great find, and yet another beautiful place those painting ! It's such a shame a house that has survived so long is now left to Rot, it really upsets me, we should be taking care of such history! I really enjoy the places you find and thank you all, I think the age of it has its ghosts. Once again thank you and all take car.
If they were genuine Hans Holbein paintings they would worth millions. Probably prints or copies, no one would leave that type of art
Sadly, these things are likely to be genuine and just left to rot, like many other abandoned historical British buildings. They're mostly abandoned because of the cost of maintaining them. Is likely that all of the panelling and beams are genuine. All of the little rooms will have been built in for later accommodations. It's criminal how we neglect our history.
Also, the planner fireplaces will be genuine and of its time. The 'prettier ' ones are other additions.
Agreed. They aren't originals.
@@itsacarolbthing5221 They are not genuine paintings at all.
You have no way of knowing that. People find paintings often. Most wait for authentification. But it is possible. There were several VanGoghs paintings found in a chicken coop where some had been used to patch holes and they were originals by him, so you never know.
It never sesess to astonis me the amount of historical properties that are left to decay. But when you have one like this that has clear links to our Royal history then it should be saved. Even if to save money they take down the new parts of the property. And those paintings definitely need to be saved it's criminal to leave them. Thanks for your never ending finds both big and small. Stay safe guys. ❤
If it hasn't happened already, surely someone will step in and do the right thing for this historic property.
To simply allow it to crumble into nothing is wrong on every level imaginable. Thank you for bringing this to us. Please, if possible, return for a more extended exploration, and maybe see what chambers those old keys can reveal.
Guys please invest in some hepa masks. It only takes a couple of spores to settle in your lungs. My dad worked on roofing spent his last days gasping for breath. His consultant said his contined exposure to mould caused his lung condition.
It’s hard to believe someone w/ the wealth to restore this place didn’t snap it up before the rot set in, I hope someone can save the paintings & the fireplace accoutrements, so beautifully done. Thank you for sharing this find w/ us.
I THINK THE IDIOTS LEFT THE WINDOW OPEN FOR THE RAIN AND BIRDS TO FLY IN. THESE PEOPLE DONT GET PERMISSION TO BREAK INTO PROPERTY FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKING MONEY ON YOU TUBE, THEN DO FURTHER DAMAGE. MY THOUGHTS.
From reading into the history of this place, it closed in 2016 and was to be sold off, but looks like no buyer must have been found. From all the mould and decay in some areas of the building you would have thought it had been abandoned for much longer than 7 years. It is such a shame it is left like this, being such an old and beautiful building, and I hope it is not left to fester for much longer - being a listed building, it would cost a buyer a lot of money to renovate it the longer it is left abandoned. Would seem that the pictures of Henry Viii are indeed original and actually were owned by him, so yes, I'd imagine its not a great idea them being left there like that.
What a shame this place hasn't been restored by the National Trust. I think you'll find that the chapel at the end of the video was Latvian and not Polish. Thank you for taking us through such a gem.
This was the first video I saw that yall did and now I'm hooked. I admire the respect you show to the properties you explore. You have proven that people can admire the beauty of the past without ill-intent. Please be careful if you get injured in one of those houses, but please keep the awesome videos coming......
Such a shame when they carve these beautiful houses up and so sad they are left to decay like this! An awesome explore as always xx
Absolutely fantastic.....such history ...and hopefully some of it will get saved and preserved....
Great explore yet again.....a great way to document historic sites ❤
Cannot beat you three together, love Neds motto at the beginning 😂 amazing, yet another fantastic explore ❤
Cheers Victoria 😁👍👍
If you are concerned about the damp and mould it would help if you closed windows after opening them. But you opened a window to look at the deer outside and left it open.
I think tiles would possibly be by a famous designer maybe de Morgan. The national trust needs to save this and bring it back as a tourist attraction.
Great explore guys, one of the best. Awesome paintings . It would have been so cool to see inside of that old safe room! Old buildings like this do wonders for the imagination. Keep up the good work 👍
Great way to end my busy weekend. If there is any one not subscribed to this channel please do so you won't be disapointed
Thank you very much Katherine
What an awesome find!❤ Thank you for all the wonderful footage!
The place is huge! I love the fireplaces. I do believe the deer are protecting you gentlemen. The paintongs were amazing!!
I heard sounds as well throughout your walk through. I believe with the age of this property-there IS quite a bit of history & mystery. Please be safe on your adventures and carry masks to protect you from that black mold.
And oh yes! Those Funnel Spiders...😳
Yes you can clearly hear " Hi” @3:17😊 spirit is active here.
Absolutely spectacular! I wish you could’ve stayed longer; I’m such a history buff, especially regarding King HenryVIII as my last name is Tudor (I’m adopted so that is my biological name). Thank you so much for sharing this adventure with us❤
I remember as a child exploring an old house. Nothing like this grand place, but the thrill and excitement of discovering the place let my imagination run away with itself. I wish I could do what these adventurous souls are doing.
I cant understand how people can just walk away from these beautiful estates.
Think on it a bit.
Absolutely love these abandoned adventures !! Enjoying from western North Carolina,USA
Beautiful old building, I love these places the best, what alot of history!
What a beautiful home
My goodness 😳😍
Tku for sharing this
That place is huge, can't wait to see inside
It was beautiful....and possibly haunted.......
What a glorious building. Even with those spiders. Can you imagine just how it would have look back in its heyday!! Wonderful, spectacular, and beautiful place. Thanks for that Alex. How are you going to top that? Huh?
Phew, you had me worried this morning Alex, I looked to see if there was a new video and there wasn’t 😱 I obviously looked to soon, I’m happy now, thankyou 👍🤭💕🐾
Haha be patient 🤣👍
Wow! It's devastating these historical old homes are going into decay. I'm really interested because I'm an ABERCROMBIE. Some old bloke trued to pick me up as a young school child in 1971. That plague, on the leadlight window 1771. I wonder what and whom it stands for. Thanks for the Video. Great viewing.
Hi new to your channel and watching all your older videos, loving them getting addicted 😂 x
Thanks for checking out the channel, and really glad you enjoy the vids so far! 😁👍
What a shame !!!!!! that place has so much history and its being left to rot . The paintings are not able to replace , when they are gone , that's the end . Thank you guys for letting get an eyeful of what is probably happening to old buildings all over England . Please take care , be cautious , and good luck on your future explores . Stuart in Canada ..
There was a spirit following you guys about halfway in 😮
What time spot did you see it?
I’ll bet many Royals and nobles visited this place and stayed there. I also think there are millions of $ in treasures to be found within those walls behind those panels that will only be discovered if someone renovates it. I’d love to see that done. Too bad you don’t have some Ghost hunting equipment with you. There are bound to be many goes there
What an amazing house
Lovely wall panels
And paintings
Pretty cool fire place 😮😊
Really enjoyed that one guys love watching I'm in Scotland so we don't have anything like this here the three of you were on form tonight, Alex every time to see a ladder you have to climb it , see you next week hope it's a good one 😂😅
There’s plenty in Scotland , plenty cv sorted that out .
My Sunday evening routine is now pouring a beer and sitting down to watch your latest explore. Alex, Ned and Ed just the right number of explorers and love the humour. This one could have easily been 2hrs long. Just the old timber structure alone was really interesting and the Latvian connection also. (That was a picture of Riga Opera House on the mantlepiece). Thanks for another great one. Never stop!
This is going to be epic!
It'd be fabulous if there's an update on the paintings. It's sad so much of the beautiful woodwork and mantels are rotting.
Who said, 'Queen Victoria'? 😆What an amazing place, but alas I fear it's far to big to restore and there's a lot of mould and decay. I only hope that those wonderful fireplaces will be saved.
I live in Ontario canada and I've still got a copy of that Readers Digest Atlas that you showed us. I inherited it as one of the many books from my father's estate when he passed away.
Brilliant..such a flipping shame these buildings are just left to decay..
That was absolutely amazing. Thank you so much.
Love the beams throughout and that old carved fireplace surround, with the butterflies and birds was so beautiful. Wish the National Trust would step in.
There is nothing here that would interest them.
That was epic. Loved it. Wish I could have been there. Absolutely love historic buildings. Shame it is rotting. You guys crack me up.
What a freaking place !!!!! Wow that must have been amazing being there in person. Absolutely love the channel and thankful to have stumbled onto it. Some brilliant places you guys get to visit/document and the crew you have put together provide some great commentary. Keep up the great work gentlemen!!!!
Beautiful wood and fireplaces. To bad they did crappy modifications. That mold is taking over the place. Thanks for the explore .
Great video Alex loved this , beautiful property, and great crew Neddie and Eddie brilliant mate thanks for sharing i❤
This place is like the house of my dreams & I wouldn't change a thing. Just tidy it up & live out the rest of my reclusive life in 1970's Hammer Horror bliss. Have to say tho, I think the biggest tragedy about this building is that someone hasn't ripped out all of the beautiful fitting like the fireplaces, panelling etc. If the house continues to rot all that will be lost. That makes me sad
Admiring the wildlife out of an open window then pushing it open wider for a better look & leaving the window wide open will obviously help keep the elements out & stop the dampness setting in 😢
That place was probably really beautiful. Wouldn't it be the *greatest* hide and seek house ever for kids .....so many hidey holes 😄
Cheers guys, have a fab week x 💙
PS: Nearly 50k subs now Alex, congrats !! 👏 🙌 🥳
Thank you Carol! Nearly there, absolutely crazy how the channel is growing 😁👍
You’d never be found
This would make a brilliant artists’ colony!
I love all the old woodwork in there 😊
Hello From Victoria Canada!!! I'm new to your channel and I'm enjoying the episodes that I've watched so far. I don't subscribe after just a couple of episodes, but I did because you and "Ed n Ned" have been really responsible and so respectful with the homes you've featured. I hope you guys will have a good influence on up and coming youtubers, since it is very important to remember that the people who lived in the many places still need respect. There are probably many family members or even distant relatives who have precious memories of the homes who need to be protected. Those idiots you see who bulldoze through someones childhood homes without a care, need to remembered that they wouldn't want to have anyone invading their homes and destroying their history or memories. Many of the places you feature will be lost forever, so it is very important to document them all, because a lot of the estates will soon decay from the elements, or be torn down to make way for "Future developments or Urban progress". Keep up the awesome content and I can't wait to see what you find next. I hope you all stay safe, stay healthy and stay as happy as you possibly can be in all your future endeavors.
🤘😁👍
Absolutely love all your videos and the respect you show to all the properties and tunnels, bunkers. Adams fireplace?
The big old room at around 32.20 is downstairs. If Henry VIII had visited and stayed there, that room would have been added on for him as the bed he toured with was far too large heavy to set up in any upstairs room. I was hoping to see a room like that!
Great and interesting content. I enjoyed watching it and loved it. Thank you Alex. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
Wow what a amazing place so old beautiful painting
Amazing video!! What a beautiful place. That last painting, I believe is Henry VII.
Loved the video!
That place was soo haunted!
i always seem to enjoy your videos and its never something id thought id be into , it must be hard to leave the items behind sometimes but i also appreciate why you do.
It’s seems like it would be easier to maintain if they scaled the place back to the original structure and removed all the moldy odd buildings. Make it less of a retrofitted hotel and back to a castle. This is what happens when the banks own the property.
That place sure does have a lot of history 👍
So beautiful. Wonder if anyone will ever restore it?
Another fantastic gind guys loving the videos keep them coming 👍 such a great find.
I can only imagine the distress which many former owners & guardians of these once treasured homes must feel when preservation costs exceed available funds & National Trusts can't manage their upkeep & safety. Well done for not exposing the whereabouts to limit vandalism & plundering. 😢❤ May the spirits of those who once resided there & the soul of this once grand home, find peace. Please report this place to King Charles 111 as he is passionate about preserving the heritage of the UK.
Like I said I really love all the woodwork there. ❤️
I don't understand why don't they sell it so some rich person who could afford to bring it to it's former glory. The house is quite impressive! Beautiful
Thanks Lads A Brilliant Video Well Made From Blue
What a great find lads just fond this channel can't weight to explore the rest 😁
Those paintings are amazing and very very valuable if you mentioned it to someone who deals with art.
@@stevenanthony199 just recovering from a fall.
@@stevenanthony199 The weather over here is nice for a couple of days. Then rain. Short summer. Mostly rainy here. Now Fall is here...
@@stevenanthony199 I'm living in Connecticut.
They are not genuine...just copies
Image how many craft rooms i could have in that place - spinning, knitting, stitching, dyeing, weaving… the mind boggles. 😊 gorgeous house, such a waste… where is it? UK i presume, but where?
I have just discovered your channel and have found it fascinating but incredibly sad as a lover of old buildings and architecture in general. I shall subscribe. I think I recognise this place. I was given permission to photograph it from the outside in the early 1990s. Since discovering your channel earlier this evening I have watched three of your videos back to back. I was amazed by the abandoned gothic mansion turned into a hotel - so picturesque! I would love to have a copy of the view from that upstairs window. I've just noticed a thumbnail of another abandoned mansion (the one near the army base). In 1988 I wrote specifically asking to come and take photographs. Years before that I had drawn a picture of it as part of a school project. Just going to watch it now!
Thanks guys. That was an amazing explore. Loved it
@@stevenanthony199 I’m good thanks. How are you?
@@stevenanthony199 Nice 👍🏻 I’m in Auckland New Zealand
@@stevenanthony199 I’ve been watching RUclips for many years but more recently a lot since the content is better and interesting. And you?
Thank you lot for this absolutely amazing. I can imagine that you must feel how can this place be allowed to go to reck and ruin
So sorry to hear that. It’s a beautiful home with so much life lived within its walls. What about British Heritage?
Thankyou guys for showing it it history .
I checked out a couple of the other guys channels. Steve, Ray and Matt. Interesting but not enough for me to watch the whole library like i am working on yours. Im not looking forward to catching up to all your work because I'll have to wait for the new one every Sunday. I think you have done an excellent job creating VacantHaven. Do Ned and Eddie post their own recordings or do you use their stuff. Thx again and well done as always. Scott
Well this episode, Eddie wants to Break free 🎵🎵 Ned Is going to the Chapel 🎵🎵 Alex…Well the ghosts have chased him Like a Bat out of hell 🎶🎶 I wonder if the property is a Listed building? Not easy to just pull it down, but cost a few Bob to repair it. Thank you guy’s again, see you next week x
They usually get burnt down in mysterious circumstances
It really is a shame. Can you imagine how many people this place could shelter if it were in good shape. So many people need housing it’s to bad.
Hope this house doesn’t end up like the Crooked Inn pub
Guys keep this as a reference because you will have evidence the house was in a decent shape
Nice video, shame such History may be lost. Hopefully all the wonderful wooden craft internally will be saved, truely beautiful.
You did make me chuckle with the Polish comments, especially in the Chapel, where the plaque stated in English Latvian🤣
Thanks for sharing such places
Thank you for the video. I live in America and we don’t have homes/buildings this old or very little. So to be able to see this type of craftsmanship is unbelievably impressive to me. Please don’t share the location. I would hate for vandals to find it. Beautiful place indeed!!!
Can't wait to see this episode guy's looking forward to seeing what is in side and END & ED and also you ALEX🤗
Thank you Fay, hope you enjoy 👍
Very interesting watching this video - maybe we need someone like Griff Rhys Jones to get involved to get this building conserved for future generations.
Should rename it to funnell web manor! Stunning place. I hope it does not get bulldozed. X
Finally a bed closet. I've seen pictures but never video thanks
Thoroughly enjoyed this also it's good not to have any bad language from you fantastic guys. Keep em coming, thankyou
What a sad sight that beautiful building being left to rot !! It's enough to make you cry 😢😢😢😢 All that history it breaks my heart 💖💖💖
Just watched Ghost Theory do an investigation there. Interesting to see that you heard strange noises as well during the day. Amazing building and great video. Cheers
