Inside Duncombe Park Grounds | Georgian English Country House

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Duncombe Park House in Helmsley is one of my favourite Georgian Period English Country Houses in Yorkshire, if not England. Sadly, however I think the house is largely unknown.
When I visited this spectacular Stately Home in late July I took along my Fujifilm XT-30 mirrorless camera and put together this short cinematic video.
The music was provided by the talented music producer 'Got Jump'. Please check out his music here:

A little bit about Duncombe Park -
Whilst the house is not ordinarily open to the public, the grounds are gardens are accessible from Mid-June, through till the end of August.
The grounds are also pretty extensive and incorporate immaculately looked after grass terraces, classical temples and extensive gardens and woodland walks to explore.
Duncombe Park is the family seat of the Duncombe family. Now, the massive Helmsley estate was first purchased in 1694 by Banking magnate Charles Duncombe - Also considered England's richest commoner at the time of his death in 1711. The magnificent house we know today however, was built by Charles's nephew Thomas between 1713 and 1730.
Built to the fabulous designs of Sir William Wakefield, with apparent input from John Vanbrugh (think castle Howard), two adjoining stable block also were added in 1843 by Charles Barry. The house was rebuilt 1895 following a devastating fire and what stands today is what I consider one of the most fabulous stately homes in the country.
I'd love to be able to tell you about the interiors but sadly I've never been inside. Maybe I'll be invited for a tour one day……….please.

Late actor Ian Carmichael was stationed at Duncombe Park for a time in WW2 and met his future wife there.
I’m American, but can never see enough English country houses.
I think we take them for granted a bit in the UK. Glad you enjoy them 😀
My only unasked for criticism is the music chosen here. Honestly, why not music of the period. There is no copyright on classical music. The house is sublime, and looks well looked after. We has a house in the USA that was fashioned after this pile called Whitmarsh Hall. It had an English front,and a French style front. You’ll see what I mean. Many videos on it. The USA is know for wasting beauty. The interiors were designed by an English Firm named White Allom, who also re-decorated Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle in the great rooms. White Allom office was at 15 Hanover Square.
Thanks for your feedback David! This is actually quite an old video now; if I made it again it would be quite different. Real shame Whitmarsh Hall was destroyed, it looked to be a very beautiful home! Cheers
Thanks you so much you always have the nice gorgeous beautiful Home to show!!!
😊
Nice work! Love your presentations!
More videos about manors, houses like this in UK !! Love this videos !!
Good job!!
M P Thanks so much. Plenty more to come!
The school I went to near thirsk called Queen Mary's school first started out at duncombe park
Yes it did 🙌
Im from the Philippines and my family name is Duncombe..
The house used to be open to the public in the late Lord Fevershams time but his son closed it . To see the interiors try to find a film called “Diamond Skulls “ which was filmed there in 1987 or 88. I was an extra on it and spent a few days there!
Oh thanks so much Paul, I’ll try check it out!
Nice photography angles 👍
How I missed this house?? Thank you for sharing, next time in UK definitely visiting! Like form me and Hugs from NZ 🙏
Its a stuning house. Unfortunately you can't go inside, but the grounds are absolutely beautiful and you can get some spetacular views of the house!
@@Xploreheritage yes,but it is beautiful park area 🙏
It's actually quite hidden. When in Helmsley you would hardly know the house existed unless you passed the moderately discreet entrance. Beautiful house, lovely town, and a gorgeous area.
There's also a walled garden that used to be the fruit, vegetable, and flower garden for the house before becoming a market garden, and is now a restored garden project. Highly recommended !
@@Kevin-mx1vi You’re absolutely right! It is a beautiful location and you would hardly know the house exists.
Love your videos, thanks for making them. Could you do one about Wollaton Hall? It is probably the best example of Elizabethan architecture.
Thanks so much, I’m really glad you enjoy them! I would absolutely love to do a video at Wollaton! This was built by one of my favourite architects. The problem is that I usually need permission to film and it can be notoriously difficult to get. If I visit Wollaton I will certainly endeavour to get permission to make a video!
Nice work buddy 😏👌🏻
oodoo Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed!
This was used in the film The thirteenth tale as the exterior for Angelfield house
Oh wow l actually didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing!
@@Xploreheritage you will see it on the end of this clip..its a good film as well ruclips.net/video/fZaSRzE2cYA/видео.html
@@eddiegrimm9462 Thanks I’ll check it out! The gardens actually featured in the latest Secret Garden film too.
Nice video but why is it titled ""Inside" Duncombe Park" when it's really just the grounds outside. I was a bit disappointed. But at least you said in the beginning we can't go inside so I didn't expect anything more watching the video.
Fair point Gerry. I was meaning it was an inside look of the park, as opposed to the house. Really hoping them let me film inside the house though some day! Thanks for watching.
Wouldn't the Earl of Duncombe let you in??
The family name is Duncombe, the title is Lord Feversham. The present Lord F was disowned by his father due to the son’s bad behaviour, and the estate passed to his younger brother.
One of these days they'll get the hang of making films of these houses. Gardens, views, all very nice but the house itself, its structure, layout, design, decor - that's what's interesting and please, don't say inside the house unless you actually do go inside the house.
Yes I agree. Well technically I am referring to the park and not the house, but I do appreciate your point. One day I may be allowed in!
When it was rebuilt after the fire, did they stick around the original design and type of stone?
Hi Daniel, thanks for your question! To be honest i'm not entirely sure as there is little public infomation about it. I would assume so. I cant say exactly how extensive the fire was, but I imagine it will have been more the interiors that were destroyed. I can't say for certain though!
Nice video work! if only you added commentary about the history and architecture of the house. 5 minutes of b rolls doesn’t do your editing and page justice honestly.
Thanks very much for your feedback. I am hoping to make more videos with commentary in the future ☺️
It says inside this house,it showed nothing about the inside of this house
Sorry James, by 'Park' I mean grounds. Sorry if this was a bit misleading.
who owns it?
Where's the inside?????
Unfortunately just the grounds for this one. The house is not ordinarily open to visitors.
I wonder if I can get away with copying elements of the design.
Only if you copy all of it
You meant Duncombe Park ?
Oh I hadn’t even notice that typo! Thanks for letting me know 😊
But it’s not ‘inside’ is it? It’s outside! False information does not get subscribers
Great video, but please in future at least wear a collared shirt. Play the Aristocrat and keep up appearances!
Oh ha ha, thank you for your comment. But, I am no aristocrat! Give me the salary though and I will wear what you want!
Im from the Philippines and my family name is Duncombe..
Oh how cool. Perhaps you are related!
