I visited here about 3 weeks ago but got challenged before I could get in. It’s previous owner was an ex mp and soldier who died at a very advanced age in the early 2000’s. He owned a lot of land locally. Both the barn and house are grade 2 listed buildings, the coach house with the red doors is a fairly recent addition. Excellent video, thank you.
The barn is of great importance , I'm glad you said it was listed but I hope someone will save it. The first part of the house looks like it was a medieval hall well before the rest of the house was built. Somebody should be preserving this now
@James Tyler Your family should have taken better care of the valuable items. That beautiful place has been left to rot, if anything you're family should be the one's reported to the police.
Well done Colin, this is a fantastic find, yes there are probably a lot of valuable items hidden in the house, everybody who has commented thus far has glorified the house and contents, and I don't blame them, but there is another part of the property that no one has mentioned, which is just as valuable, historically, as the house, that is the large barn, it's length, height' width and the way the structure looks is remeniscanct of the old 'Tythe Barn's', of which there are very few left standing, the wooden structure and the upright post's will be mainly Oak, the last one I saw was demolished to make way for the Tythe Farm Estate in Houghton Regis before the preservation orderscame intoplay, as I said they are rare buildings, and your video of the whole estate was well worth it. THANKS..
Great watch, thank you. The buttons on the jacket are Welsh Guards, the blue red blue medal ribbon is for a 1939-1945 Star medal, either Battle of Britain or Bomber Command, and the green orange green medal ribbon is for a Defence Medal issued 1945, so that dates your jacket.
This place is a national treasure! It should be treated as such and preserved. I just don't understand why it's being left to rot. Wonderful explore, sad but wonderful. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
WOW, alright! I really hope those antiques can be saved before the place decays into ruins. We don't have any places that old here in Australia. What a gem.
The motto on the stained glass window is Ut Sursum Desuper, seems to be connected to the Worsley Family. I found the things that had been left in the house quite heartbreaking, the uniforms, photographs & the mementos that have been collected over a lifetime just left behind & trashed, very sad. Happy Christmas to you & your family Colin, many thanks for all your hard work in finding all these places 🥂🍾🎄🎄
I like your investigative mind set … There are lots of coats of arms spread around the place that can tell you a huge amount about a the history of the place , although you do have to be carful as they get changed a lot over time . Quite a few triple fish , Kingston up on Thames Shields Can’t wait till I can get on computer and see it properly
Colin you just made my Christmas Day. It was the topper on the Christmas tree. A wonderful family Christmas. That house blew my mind, reminded me of my grandfather's 27 room house but it only 135 years old and sold in the 50's. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
INCREDIBLE! The antiques, the tiles on the walls, the furniture is worth so so much money it's mind boggling if you knew what these things were worth on the antique market. Even the decorative wooden trim is worth alot of money!
Great building! But I think it's been abandoned for not more than 20 years. Looking at the lawn mower, the washing machine and the box of a Brother sowing machine, which contained a DVD. So it will be after 1997,more likely around 2000 or later
Omg what a find!! This place needs reporting to the national heritage. I hope the property and its contents can be saved somehow. Awesome video Colin! Merry Xmas 🎄🎄
Amazung house and all the antiques it contained. The drapes at every window were hand made. The furniture would have been the best when new. I would love to find out the history of this family as they obviously had the right connections. You have a lovely Christmas, many thanks for all the exploring you do. Thus has got to be at the top of your finds list. 💕🇦🇺
Houses are not built like this today. I hope that someone saves it before it falls into total disrepair. The architecture is fantastic.This house Is full of character. A great location with so many great items left behind. I’m amazed that nobody has visited and stolen valuables from the main house. I hope it stays that way. There are some valuable antique items there, like the old grandfather clock.Thanks for another fantastic explore Colin.
It's really sad that the last family member cared so little about about their home and ancestry, to hoard it full. It could still be saved but it would take tremendous amounts of $$. And people that would care enough to save it, like those of us watching, don't have that kind of $$. Great find. And Merry Christmas everyone.
This explore was truly fantastic. I could have taken ages in there just looking at all the wonderful things on the ground floor. What a show place that house must have been in it's prime. Thank you for this. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
sometimes I wish there was someone to report some of these historical findings to so that items like the uniform, books and paintings weren't lost to time but were rescued for conservation
What an absolute gem of a place...must have been stunning in its heyday, wow! Loved the large sitting room with the gold coloured sofas and the pillars, beautiful bespoke curtains with pelmets that would have been very expensive...lovely antique furniture. Top notch explore, well done! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Personally Colin I think you should get in touch with National Heritage and tell them about this property. Things like the WW2 military uniforms and war photos are of national importance and should be preserved not left to rott. Great vid buddie.
Colin this was a fantastic explore, I love old houses and history , so when I watch I imagine all the people who must have lived there in the past, but this house must be listed ? Yet it’s nearly beyond saving , such a shame because when it’s gone it’s gone ,
Love the property,the furniture,the chandeliers you are right ,there's a fortune in there,probably another we can't see.love the master bedroom,the window at the top of the stairs is very cool.Duch a shame,there's no one to tend to it all.wonderful explore,I also like the Shepherd's house.and a nice deep well,inside so nice.The paintings really need to be taken care of before the ceilings collapse.The whole property barns and all.is wonderful. They must have had children or kin.Merry Christmas from Oklahoma.👍🎄❤️🇺🇸
Wow! Certainly one of, if not, the best explores I've viewed thus far. That well is DEEP and that's an understatement! Just imagine digging it by hand 300+ years ago. Can't someone from somewhere ride in and save this wonderful house and that amazing barn? Sifting through and auctioning off the contents would certainly raise a few sheckles that could be put towards restoration. On another thought, I actually wondered whether the room where the front door was located, had been set up like the reception area in a hotel.
oh my days, I love that place, what a beautiful house. I would love to metal detect the gardens around it. thank you for taking us along, best wishes, mark
Amazing Fantastic Find! It has to go on your Best Ever List. The Well discovery was unbelievable. Your camera work is spot on, and the bright torch really helps. This indeed was a special Christmas video. 🎄👍
What an incredible exploration. So many valuable items, both of a personal and historical nature. I hope that it all finds a proper place, as well as preservation of the house and out buildings. Such a shame that this happens all too often. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas Colin, and extended wishes to your family and all the wonderful viewers of your channel. Cheers from the States 👊👍🤟✌
Colin that was such a treat! Thank you so much. Definitely the national heritage should be involved that place was just incredible if those walls could talk! So cool. I’m really pretty gob smacked. Even that book from 1500s my gosh who has that in their collection?? I hope you have a fabulous New Year’s with many new adventures ahead. May it be prosperous, filled with love and happiness! Love from me in California💜🤟🏻😎🇺🇸
That was an unexpected Christmas present, amazing place. The kind of place that would take me as long to carefully sort the contents as it would to renovate the property. I do hope whoever does take that house on they are respectful of its contents. Happy new year, you've set a bench mark for 2022 lol
Hello Colin, its not a tree its a leek, the buttons are Welsh Guards Regiment They come in 3 main sizes with c. 26mm "Large" size used for tunic buttons, great coats and officer's buttons. The c. 19mm "Medium" sized buttons used for No. 2 Khaki service dress tunic buttons, parade uniforms, pockets and epaulettes. The c. 14mm "Small" size buttons mainly used for caps, mess dress waistcoats and General's red insignia gorget tabs. they worth some money. got to love google :}
Look at amazing woodwork on the roof . Never see that anymore. It’s amazing their is still water in that well. Beautiful place most gorgeous place you been too in a very long time
Hi Colin so beautiful and yet so sad that all the loving family memories are left behind and lost I hope someone in the family comes and gets some of the memories especially photos and other things before they are gone forever. The jackets are military ones.🎄🇦🇺
WOW, just wow, I don't usually comment on your videos but this one just blew me away, what an amazing find, I am so glad you stick to the urbex code of leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures, I'm so glad you never reveal locations, places like this should be preserved, the riding boots near the start of the video are probably worth £200-300, the army jackets you mentioned near the end would fetch the same, thank you for sharing.
Wow what a find, such a lovely property and so many antiques. Well done collin really enjoyed watching the video, keep up with the good work and keep safe and all the best.😮👍🎅
So, reading through the comments was interesting. I don't know the protocol for reporting a place like this to get it at least considered for saving. But if there is a way, please, please do it. It really is an architectural treasure.❤️❤️❤️
Probably the best abandoned house I've seen obviously belonged to someone with a military background. But seriously mate you should start wearing a respirator doing that stuff because that mould will fuck you up breathing it in.
Great video to finish the year with. Colin, you always strike just the right balance between natural curiosity, and respect for the property and it's owners. Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year. More in 2022 please!
This house looks like it had been lived in by the same family for multiple generations, once fairly common, but became far less so since world war 2 - when you have a large house and don't move for generations, you collect a very large amount of stuff. Reminds me of my grandparents old farmhouse (demolished 1988) - decoration from the mid third of the 20th century looks like the central heating system was the last update done. Note the contrast from the expensive, solid antique furniture downstairs, to the horrid plywood 1970s/1980s chest of drawers in one of the bedrooms. Sadly it looks like a childless horder with health issues was the last to live here. That house is beyond economical repair - it would literally cost millions to restore.
Once again madness, how its left to rot! Older than some National Trust buildings... crazy, but great respectable tour from yourself! Oh I'd love that barn!
Loved the main house some of the furniture was amazing it must be worth a fortune shame it is just left to rot have a merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 and a happy new year x
So sad such historic properties are left to rot like this. I wish there was a way for people to preserve and care for abandoned places like this before they are gone.
What an absolutely immense place. Don't know if it was hoarding or if at one point things were just chucked in the rooms as they look like there were plans to do something with the place. Some of the bags did look more recent then how long it looks to have been abandoned for. I wonder why the plans seem to have ground to a halt. It's really sad seeing all those potentially valuable antiques just left to rot.
Another great video Colin by far one of my most favourite explores, that well was so far down Could not believe how deep it was. Great work mate and great to see you and stu together on his channel. ✊
You skipped past a couple of UK passports in the bedroom, they would have had a date of birth which might have given a clue to the ages of the previous residents and maybe explained why they had left? I saw the blue bathroom had been adapted for someone less abled. Notice also blank post it notes on certain items - used to mark then as worth valuing? Of course the property will belong to someone somewhere, the land registry would tell you for a small search fee, but most likely listed and as such difficult and way too expensive to make meaningful repairs - sadly the usual course of action is to wait until it falls into complete decay (or catches fire) before the site can be repurposed.
Happy Christmas Colin,this place was unbelievable beautiful antique furniture and interesting things,such a shame to see it decaying away,great country house incredible find,you would think there has to be some family out there thanks for sharing 👍
To dig that well would have taken a very painstaking long time. Whoever owned this property was indeed wealthy in order to have this place built the way it was. This is NOT your ordinary peasant farmhouse, this is sooooo much more. Someone needs to be notified or a next of kin if possible.
Happy Christmas to you Colin. This house needs to find a new owner and fast before it really starts to fall apart. So sad to see a place like this just rotting away. It has real historic importance. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for showing us around, I just hope that no idiots get in there.
Brilliant stuff, I'm actually watching it on the TV and commenting on the phone. Don't really care for house explores but this is the exception, great effort and I like the fact you're on your own. If I could afford it I'd buy it, unfortunately not everyone is as respectful and I can see the looney fringe filling that fantastic well. Thank you very much for showing us this place. 👍.
Calculate the distance traveled by the stone by using the following formula, where T is the time it took for the stone to hit the water: Distance = 1/2 * 9.8 * T^2 For example, if it took 1.5 seconds to hit the water, the stone traveled about 11 meters.
@@fhwolthuis That's what the science says. However, to get a more accurate measurement, it really needs to be timed wit a stopwatch. It was deep but not 490 metres deep.
Wow Colin that place is so complete and full of history. I wonder why the family left all the photos there. Mad some of the story’s that could be told from that place.
I bet its a listed building because of its age and it would cost millions to renovate I bet. Don't think I've seen this mansion explored before. Nice one Colin. Happy New Year xx
We have the Wolsey Family Crest and the Kingston ok Themes coat of arms on multiple fixtures .. With some stop starting the history on this place should be out there
Have just checked out this one , Colin .TRIPLE FISH IN HERALDRY The arms show three fish over each other. Often used as a symbol of the importance of fisheries as well as a symbol for the Holy Trinity.
Great explore Colin 😎 Unfortunately the place looks like it's been ransacked. All them antiques though and the house is just rotting away. What a shame 😔 All the best dude and have a Merry Christmas 🍻👍🏻
Great house, great video. There seems to be a theme in some houses of old owners, no family, the last dies or something happens to them and the house is just forgotten. So sad. About the depth of the well, could be wrong but here goes my memory of 30 years ago physiscs class. Ignoring air friction, terminal velocity V=g*t, where g is the gravity, so V=9.81*10, V=98.1m/s. Solving for distance it would be the integral of the speed over the time, but again ignoring friction distance = 1/2*g*t^2 which is about 500m. This is obviously a huge number, so accounting for air friction and speed of sound coming back up, we should be talking of some 300m-ish. Now I'm used to thinking of wells as going 10-20m deep, put on those you hear the PLOP of the rock within seconds, 4-5 tops.
Historical important building that needs saving , how can it get so neglected ? How beautiful would this house and farm be if restored very sad to see hope it gets saved
wow what a awesome discovery ... it feels like going back in time when life was much simpler than now with whats going on in the world .... so sad to see all this history disappear !
What a great explore . Thank you for giving up your Christmas day to bring this to us . Wishing you , your splendid beard of much exploring , and your family a fantastic and happy Christmas season . Have a good one ,Guys .
The coats of arms on the fire place. One seems to be for Kingston upon Thames but can't find the other. House is magnificent. Needs a phone Call to save some of the interior items! Please report them
Hi Colin hope your doing good. Happy Boxing day. That was one amazing video. It's a shame such nice things & furniture were left behind. It makes me think of what once was when those families were living there. Stay safe and take care.
Nice fine it looks beautiful do you look like it's been around for a long time I can't believe all of this stuff just left thank you and merry Christmas

the stone traveled for 6 seconds so equates to 180 meters. That is one hell of a deep well.
Great watch, thank you. The buttons on the jacket are Welsh Guards, the blue red blue medal ribbon is for a 1939-1945 Star medal, either Battle of Britain or Bomber Command, and the green orange green medal ribbon is for a Defence Medal issued 1945, so that dates your jacket.

Have watched this twice . How sick are the people that vandalise such a lovely old place ? I wish they were all as considerate as you are .
WOW, alright! I really hope those antiques can be saved before the place decays into ruins. We don't have any places that old here in Australia. What a gem.
The motto on the stained glass window is Ut Sursum Desuper, seems to be connected to the Worsley Family. I found the things that had been left in the house quite heartbreaking, the uniforms, photographs & the mementos that have been collected over a lifetime just left behind & trashed, very sad.
Happy Christmas to you & your family Colin, many thanks for all your hard work in finding all these places 🥂🍾🎄🎄
I like your investigative mind set … There are lots of coats of arms spread around the place that can tell you a huge amount about a the history of the place , although you do have to be carful as they get changed a lot over time .

So sad such historic properties are left to rot like this. I wish there was a way for people to preserve and care for abandoned places like this before they are gone.
There is. It's called The National Trust, English Heritage/Historic England, and The Landmark Trust. We should support these organisations.

If I could afford it I'd buy it, unfortunately not everyone is as respectful and I can see the looney fringe filling that fantastic well. Thank you very much for showing us this place. 👍.
I so want to know the history of this property how sad it that all that stuff just rotting away sad isn’t it great video
I love the piano music. It really adds atmosphere.
What a amazing building got to be one of the best explores I have ever seen fantastic video as always 😀 👍
Merry Christmas Colin 🎄❄️🎄
What a beautiful find. So much history waiting to be rediscovered. Let's hope someone wants the commitment. Be safe 🫖
merry Christmas from Egypt and in new year we hope to see a lot of episodes about classic cars thank u again
Nice one. Also you should go back and Magnet Fish the bottom of that deep Well , bet there's all sorts of valuable items especially coins to be had .
Calculate the distance traveled by the stone by using the following formula, where T is the time it took for the stone to hit the water: Distance = 1/2 * 9.8 * T^2 For example, if it took 1.5 seconds to hit the water, the stone traveled about 11 meters.
So for 10 seconds? 490 metres?
@@fhwolthuis That's what the science says. However, to get a more accurate measurement, it really needs to be timed wit a stopwatch. It was deep but not 490 metres deep.
@@fhwolthuis The deepest hand dug Well in the world is 390 meters - the Woodingdean Water Well.
merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤ to everyone !!! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ,SUCH AMAZING FINDS ! THANK YOU 😊 💯
THAT WELL IS CRAZY 😳
OH MY GOSH !!!!!!!
Wow Colin that place is so complete and full of history. I wonder why the family left all the photos there. Mad some of the story’s that could be told from that place.
I bet its a listed building because of its age and it would cost millions to renovate I bet. Don't think I've seen this mansion explored before. Nice one Colin. Happy New Year xx
Many Thanks Colin, I do he you and your family had a Great Christmas and a Great new year!
We have the Wolsey Family Crest and the Kingston ok Themes coat of arms on multiple fixtures .. With some stop starting the history on this place should be out there
Have just checked out this one , Colin .TRIPLE FISH IN HERALDRY The arms show three fish over each other. Often used as a symbol of the importance of fisheries as well as a symbol for the Holy Trinity.
Great explore Colin 😎
Unfortunately the place looks like it's been ransacked.
All them antiques though and the house is just rotting away.
What a shame 😔
All the best dude and have a Merry Christmas 🍻👍🏻
Merry Christmas to you Colin and your family, with regards to this content.... simply WOW 👏
That well must be at the least 100 ft deep, holy moly.
Merry Christmas & hopes of a better New Year, then the past two years of coof-v.
Absolute superb place it is amazing what gets left behind .
Not sure if you can top this one ☝️😊 brilliant video ty for show ing us around x
Great house, great video. There seems to be a theme in some houses of old owners, no family, the last dies or something happens to them and the house is just forgotten. So sad.
About the depth of the well, could be wrong but here goes my memory of 30 years ago physiscs class. Ignoring air friction, terminal velocity V=g*t, where g is the gravity, so V=9.81*10, V=98.1m/s. Solving for distance it would be the integral of the speed over the time, but again ignoring friction distance = 1/2*g*t^2 which is about 500m. This is obviously a huge number, so accounting for air friction and speed of sound coming back up, we should be talking of some 300m-ish. Now I'm used to thinking of wells as going 10-20m deep, put on those you hear the PLOP of the rock within seconds, 4-5 tops.
Historical important building that needs saving , how can it get so neglected ? How beautiful would this house and farm be if restored very sad to see hope it gets saved
wow what a awesome discovery ... it feels like going back in time when life was much simpler than now with whats going on in the world .... so sad to see all this history disappear !
Looks like it was the Worsely family judging by the Latin motto on the coat of arms which translates as "decend to ascend"
Wow Colin what a fined nice to see it all still there & not trashed or Vandalised
Nice one 👌🏽👌🏽
What a great explore . Thank you for giving up your Christmas day to bring this to us . Wishing you , your splendid beard of much exploring , and your family a fantastic and happy Christmas season . Have a good one ,Guys .
Merry Christmas to you and yours Colin. Keep up the great work!
The coats of arms on the fire place. One seems to be for Kingston upon Thames but can't find the other. House is magnificent. Needs a phone Call to save some of the interior items! Please report them
The boar , red and roe mounts where amazing surprised they are still there
What a way to spend Christmas Awesome
32 feet per second so about 320 feet to the water below.
Lovely house and video 👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Colin hope your doing good.
Happy Boxing day.
That was one amazing video. It's a shame such nice things & furniture were left behind. It makes me think of what once was when those families were living there.
Stay safe and take care.
This house must be worth in 100s of thousands just left to rot someone must own this
That stain glass window near the kitchen is the Worsley family crest and the motto below reads 'ut sursum desuper' - descend to ascend.
Omg what a beautiful house! This needs to rescued asap!
Nice fine it looks beautiful do you look like it's been around for a long time I can't believe all of this stuff just left thank you and merry Christmas
I think the uniform button is the Welsh Guards.
100% welsh guards
Another great video 👌 looking forward to 2022 for more👍
Great explorer fella, Lauren says Happy Christmas 🎄 🎅 🧑🎄
Happy Christmas and New year from us in Middlesbrough 🙂
We never miss a video looking forward to more videos next year stay safe on your travels 🙂👍
That well was quite some construction.
