Exploring Harlaxton Manor Stately Home at Christmas

- Join me as I explore inside and outside at Harlaxton Manor country house in Lincolnshire. This place is now used as a campus for the University of Evansville (Indiana). The video was recorded in December and the place was decorated for Christmas in some places. Harlaxton Manor has intrigued me for many years so it was lovely to be able to go and have a look around. Thanks for watching, Adam :)
In 1971 I was a senior at the University of Evansville and editor of the student newspaper. The editor of the student yearbook and I were invited to attend and cover the formal dedication ceremony at Harlaxton Manor when U of E first leased this property. In our roles, we were afforded unrestricted access to the entire manor and grounds and expected to provide photographs and coverage of the event for the main campus in Indiana.
More than 52 years later it absolutely remains one of the greatest memories of my life. The magnificence, the extensive and intricate workmanship, the breathtaking splendor, and the sheer size of the manor simply cannot be properly quantified or overstated. Thank you SO MUCH for this video that brings back warm and wonderful memories of my visit to Harlaxton Manor!
Hello. Wow, I can imagine what a great trip that would have been for you, especially as a youngster! I'm really glad that my video was able to bring back those lovely memories for you. It really is an amazing place. Greetings from England, Adam :)
Awesome incredible, fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
It's so hard to believe anyone calling this a house. Thank you so much for showcasing such an amazing place
The result of enormous wealth and the talent of artisans of the time. Thanks for watching and for your lovely comment. Adam :)
Gregory Gregory wanted to make an impression, but he wasn't some rich toff. He liked his privacy but he really looked after his staff and workers on the estate. I'm so sad that he didn't have children to inherit the house.
Just the gate house at the beginning alone. Spectacular!
Yeah, the approach to this place is pretty special! Thanks for watching, Adam :)
@@AdamExploresBritainBeautiful! Thanks for sharing...😊
@@user-zu2qb8cl3b You're very welcome. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Adam :)
The grandest most remarkable home I have ever seen in my life. Thank you mate
I'm really glad you liked it. I was wondering if people found the place as fascinating as I did. So it's great to have your lovely feedback. What a place! Thanks for coming along with me on my little exploration. Adam :)
Brilliant tour done! What a fantastic house. Thanks so much your film was just smashing,and your voice informing, calm and really interesting. I’d never heard of this house. It’s very ornate and stunning architecture. Thank you so much for taking us around. I don’t get out much at all these days so it’s really great to be able to see the places b watching your films! 💐💫
Thank you very much! I love it when I know that people enjoy these videos. It's a great encouragement to continue on to the next little project. I'm glad that you find them interesting and that it gives you a chance to snoop around these old houses. All the best, Adam :)
@@AdamExploresBritain Hello Adam, do hope you can get some more films out next year, it’s so great to see these houses. You seem like you like architecture and you certainly know your trees. Cedar of Lebanon is my favourite too. All the best for Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
@@Parianparlay I do indeed plan on making more videos of my house visits next year. You can't beat a good Cedar of Lebanon! Have a great Christmas. Adam :)
@@AdamExploresBritain I notice during the tour of some very nice mansions, the guide is quick to point out a certain old statue is (just a copy). of a priceless original! Okay, can i buy it for cheap? Nope! not for any price! LOL
Some pile that! Thanks for the tour; it was grand!
It's a beautiful place isn't it!? You're very kind. Thanks a load for watching, I really appreciate it :)
Unbelievable such a wonderful place , everything the garden the architecture so incredible beautiful , thanks for the tour.
You're very welcome. I'm really glad that you found it interesting. Thanks very much, Adam :)
Many thanks for the wonderful tour! So delightful! Thank you for giving us this grand time touring the Lucious Harlaxton Manor country house in Lincolnshire!
Thanks for watching and for your lovely comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Adam :)
I will be grateful to you for life, truly since I saw haunthing in 1999, an obsession grew to know this palace, and the way you toured the place is just how I would have wanted to do it, thank you for making my dream come true, greetings from Hermosillo Mexico., hugs
You're welcome! I'm really glad you enjoyed having a look around the house and gardens. Thank you for your lovely comments. Greetings from England, Adam :)
I love The Haunting, even though the special effects are laughed at today. :D
Thank you, Adam. I attended Harlaxton College in 1990. My wife enjoyed seeing your tour. Thank you so much. Many blessings.
You're very welcome. Bless you both too. I'm glad that she liked it. Many thanks for watching, Adam :)
unbelievable • incredible
Thanks for showing what i failed to access in 2017. I ve been a bit obsessed with this place since i saw it in the haunting film with liam neeson and zeta jones. It is near belvoir castle and isaac newtons home and st wolframs cathedral in grantham and stoke rochford hall which is similar. You can visit all in one go
My absolute pleasure, thanks. Yes, Belvoir is indeed very close (I hope to go there in the future). Apparently you can see Belvoir castle from Harlaxton Manor's grounds across the Vale of Belvoir, but unfortunately the weather was a bit grim so visibility was limited. It doesn't seem very far away at all though relatively speaking. Thanks for watching, Adam :)
You and I have the same obsession. Love that film. Of course the library at Harlaxton is said to be haunted in reality!
The grounds are beautiful! The main house gives me Gormenghast vibes. Thanks, Adam!
Aren't they just!? Glad you liked it, I really appreciate your nice comment. Thanks, Adam :)
A true masterpiece • incredible awesome. I would very much, love to be there.
It's a beauty isn't it. Thanks for watching, Adam :)
Now I know why the University of Evansville's main campus in Indiana is so depressing and need of attention! Most of their funds are going to lease this manor! 1 yr at the main campus is $40,000 and is a private university! Not gonna lie though, I would love to spend a semester at this campus in England!
I can't think of many more beautiful places to study. Stowe House (school) in Buckinghamshire is a decent rival :)
Actually, UE has been spending a lot of money to improve its Evansville campus. They own Harlaxton Manor. If you spend a semester there, be sure to purchase a BritRail Pass and a EuroRail Pass before you travel to the UK. You could spend every weekend in a different part of the UK, and of Europe, and have very low cost rail travel.
They don't lease it, they own it. And the Uni of Evs doesn't make enough money to restore the place completely, hence why there are plans for more public open days, a visitor centre and walled gardens cafe. The Lion Terrace is literally crumbling. Regardless of the location, the Uni of Evs is not cheap in general.
@@pumpkinpatch5 LOL! "Regardless of the location," is that a jab at Illinois, Evansville, or America, in general?
It's incredible. The house might qualify as the heaviest house in the world. The tons of stone, plaster and wood that went into this pile. It does everything its own way and it does it so well.
Thanks for watching my video. I'm glad you found it interesting. Adam :)
thanks so much for sharing,this house is amazing England is very beautiful !!!! greetings from Mexico city!!!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching. Greetings from England. Adam :)
Glad you had a wonderful time visiting Harlaxton Manor! I'm very lucky in that I live up the road, so get to visit it often. You really must come back in the future as plans have been approved to restore the walled garden and greenhouses and add a visitor centre for non-academic periods. The more people visiting Harlaxton, the better this gem of English history can be preserved for the future of the Nation. The University of Evansville have been great stewards of the estate thus far, but there's still a lot of decay around the property (especially the Lion Terrace, which was only restored in the early 2000's), so hopefully all these plans will work out well in the future.
Yes, I will definitely be going back! It's good to know that they have plans to attract more visitors, the beauty of the place deserves to be seen by more people. Hopefully a few of the viewers of this video will make a trip in the summer now that they're aware of it? Thanks for watching and for your comments, Adam :)
Also in the movie 🎥The Haunting , with Liam Neison, Catherine Z Jones , Lily Taylor, Owen Wilson, story .Hugh Crane built the home for his wife, , the real character is s the house, go watch The Haunting , you would love it too, like I do!
Ah yes, I remember reading about that. I've just added it to my list of things to watch, thank you :)
I love that movie, and the house too!
I live near Grantham. Harlaxton is lovely. My husband work company had there Christmas parties there.
It was lovely to visit. I might return in the summer. Adam :)
Thank you for touring and sharing this amazing manor/castle..I would have never been able to seen the fine details of this magnificent place if you hadn't made this video..thank you for sharing!
Thanks for your lovely comment, it means a lot! I'm really glad that you enjoyed it. Thank you, Adam :)
Very informative tour. Thank you.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your nice comment, Adam :)
The conservatory is beautiful as are the gardens & follies - good video!
Thanks again. This was a fantastic place. I'd been wanting to visit for years :)
@@AdamExploresBritain👍I've just finished watching another one!
@@ajadrew Hope you enjoyed it :)
@@AdamExploresBritainI did!
In the series about queen Victoria this stately home was used as proxy for the chateau of Eu in Normandy,France in the scene where the British queen visited France and met up with king Louis Phillipe.
Thank you for that additional information :)
Stunningly lovely. Thank you.....
You're welcome. Thanks for watching. Adam :)
THANKS - You documented it so well - thanks - knew of this building but now I KNOW of this building.
I'm really glad that you found it interesting and it helped to give a fuller picture of the house. thanks for your lovely comment! Adam :)
Thank you so much! This was just spectacular! Simply breathtaking inside, not much for the outside, but inside is amazing!
Yeah, I've been around much better gardens and grounds, but the house itself and the approach is spectacular. Thanks a lot for watching, it's much appreciated. Adam :)
Thanks for the up load, fascinating !! Hard to believe that one person called that home.
I know yeah, it's always a bit crazy with these places. Apparently 'Gregory Gregory' didn't really make much use of a lot of the house and it was more of just a building project for the sake of building something beautiful, which I would say he achieved very very well. I suppose a large part of my fascination with these places is that it's a showcase of what you could build with the resources of the time with pretty much unlimited money and access to the most amazing artisans. Skills that are very rare these days because the demand for those skills in in short supply.
Good use of the house looks alive and vibrant 👍🇬🇧🇺🇲
I strongly agree. I love the fact that some of these houses were saved by becoming various institutions. 1000s of these beauties have been lost forever when families no longer had a use for the house. They appear to be great custodians. Thanks for watching, Adam :)
@@AdamExploresBritain your from Birmingham I'm from Halesowen left the UK 35 years ago I spend time in the US and Colombia 🇨🇴 where I'm here for Christmas always loved History and Statley homes and the Tudors and Wordcershire CC ..👍
@@jasonking6892 Yeah, I'm from the oldbury/Dudley border (Tividale). I love the fact that you've found me and my videos. I think I have a couple of videos from relatively nearby, and will probably have a few more over the years. All the best, Adam :)
Thanks so much for the tour!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching, Adam :)
I see this house in The Haunting! I can't believe that seeing it here on your channel
Surprise surprise!! 😄😄
I visited the gardens in the summer 2022 open day, they looked stunning in the sunshine!
I thought that they would, with a nice bit of colour and sunshine! I will have to go back in the summer one day. Adam :)
I came here because of the movie “the haunting.” With Catherine zeta jones and Liam Neeson. It’s based off the book by Shirley Jackson “the haunting of the hill house.
I am well impressed with you. Every little detail I wanted to see and know about you paused and explained. Calm, sensible and sensitive a real pleasure to watch and learn. That covered railway was a belter, made me sit up and want more! Great job mate, thank you
Thanks for your lovely kind comments, I really really appreciate them. I also found the railway very very interesting. It's the first time I've seen such a thing! It's a shame I couldn't see a bit of it from the other side, but it was still fascinating. Thanks again, Adam :)
Brilliant! Ty. Merry Christmas 👍
Thank you! merry Christmas to you too. Thanks for watching, Adam :)
Thanks, Adam. New sub here. That’s indeed sensational! Those ceiling made me gasp! WOW!
Thanks for subscribing, I really appreciate it. I'm glad that you found Harlaxton interesting! Yeah, some very nice ceilings there. I loved the one with the cheeky cherub looking like he was about to drop into the room. It's a shame I couldn't get around the one with the Jacobean style ceiling a bit more as the room was being used as a cafe for the day and it was full of people making movement a bit harder. Lovely place. Thanks again, and I hope you like some of my future house tours. Adam :)
What a fantastic place. Nice to see a local to me (I'm a Brummie) doing something like this. Loved that you picked up on the details that a visitor might miss. Thank you for a fabulous tour😊
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm actually a yam yam from Dudley though, haha. I do work over your way though, for some strange reason. I love getting away from the hustle and bustle and exploring these beautiful old places. I really appreciate you spending your time watching my video. All the best, Adam :)
Thank you so much. I live nearby Harlaxton and always wondered what it was like inside. I had totally forgotten it was open to the public for a couple of days. So, I’m very happy I stumbled across your very informative video x🎄
You're welcome, and thanks for watching. It looked like a very beautiful part of the country. Of course you have Belvoir Castle nearby too (I will be going there eventually one day). You may have seen already, but it's opening again for several days in the summer. Thanks again, Adam :)
@@AdamExploresBritain Have you visited Belton House? That's another absolute gem and worthy of a whole day exploring (the house, the grounds and the family church).
You need to come to an open day! A few coming up in the Spring! :)
@@pumpkinpatch5 I have, yes. Really nice place. I also enjoyed the railway a lot :)
Amazing tour, I've just subscribed. Can't wait to binge watch all your other vids
Hey thanks, I really appreciate that! Enjoy, Adam :)
Wow this place is amazing. Wish i had seen it when i lived an hour away. Great tour.👍☘️🎉👍
Yeah, it is a pretty mega place! Thanks for watching and for your nice comment. Adam :)
Thank you for this I’m going to watch all your videos. I’m an armchair traveler did my first trip out of the United States across the Atlantic, with my sister, about a month ago on the Viking cruise on the rain. I would love to see other countries, but I don’t think I’m an international traveler lol thank you for your attention to detail And merry Christmas.
Thank you. I hope you enjoy watching me meander around lots of other country houses! Have a lovely Christmas and new year. All the best, Adam :)
Wow, how have I never heard of this place? It is really incredible. Lovely job filming and sharing all this, as usual.
I try my best to find the hidden interesting gems amongst all of the other great old houses. Thanks for coming along with me on my little tours, it keeps me motivated to know that others appreciate these places too :)
A true treasure; amazing ! ❤😊
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks, Adam :)
Thank you for showing us this beautiful estate! Merry Christmas from the Isle of Capri!
🌲🎅🌲🎅🌲🎅🌲🎅🌲
You're welcome! Thank you for watching all the way from the beautiful Capri :)
Augh! "The Isle of Capri," what a wonderful place! You lucky duck!
Wow.. one of the most clear and well detailed video which i ever seen till now... wonderful.. thanks for this excellent content.. lots of love from India....
That's very kind of you, thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Love from England, Adam :)
Great video! I didn't know the house was occasionally open to the public, I will have to visit in 2024.
Thank you! Yes, you should definitely go. There should be some lovely colour in the gardens in the new year I would expect. Thanks again, Adam :)
Thank you for this. The only thing I knew was it was the location for The Haunting of Hill House 😊
You're welcome. However, i think it was the film The Haunting, not the TV series The Haunting of Hill House. I did enjoy that show though! I knew the plasterer/stuccoist on the stairs in one of the episodes was going to be a ghost. Thanks for watching, I'm glad you found it interesting. Adam :)
@@AdamExploresBritain yes that's right. The movie The Haunting, gosh, I've got to go watch it now. Brilliant watching your video. Thanks again and much love from New Zealand
@@kalitaylor9064 That's very kind, thank you. Love from England :)
This makes the Biltmore House in Asheville, NC look like a cottage.
Biltmore does nice though, I've just had a look (incidentally I have seen it before for some reason). It reminds me a bit of Waddesdon Manor in England that also has those French chateau type elements (Waddesdon Manor was created by the infamous Rothschild banking family). So yeah, both by vastly vastly wealthy families. Thanks for watching, it's much appreciated. Adam :)
thanks so much ❣
You're most welcome. Thanks for watching. I'm really glad that you enjoyed it. Adam :)
Great tour. Were any movies filmed here?
Thanks! Yes, The Haunting with Liam Neeson was filmed at Harlaxton Manor and there have been other bits and pieces too such as an episode of Victoria (series 2, episode 5). You can see some here: harlaxtonmanorarchives.wordpress.com/filmed-at-the-manor/
Wow. I live in Evansville, IN and my mother graduated from UE.
What an amazing campus 😃
Great video. I am an alumni of UE with my MA in Humanities (European Studies). I toured Harlaxton about 35 years ago, when I was Scottish Editor at Burke's Peerage. One night at UE's library I discussed Harlaxton and old manor houses and castles in the UK with the late Dr. Wallace Graves. Harlaxton was basically donated to UE by a childhood friend of my father. Harlaxton is known as the best overseas university campus in the United Kingdom.

Fascinating and informative! Many thanks. New subscriber!
I'm glad you found it interesting. Thanks for watching and subscribing, I genuinely appreciate it. Adam :)
Awesome video mate
Thank you, that's very kind! Glad you enjoyed it, Adam :)
its the castle used for the film 'The haunting'
36:22 Did you know that a marble bust of Gregory Gregory used to stand on the plinth that the Jesuit priest is currently on? Nobody knows where the bust is as it was never included in any bill of sale. I'm absolutely obsessed with the missing bust. I hope it is still out there somewhere, and that it'll return to the manor one day. It would be the only true, known image of GG, other than the 'maybe' portrait in the detail of the stairs.
No, I wasn't aware of that. That's an interesting fact. Maybe it's lost somewhere in the surrounding parkland? Time to get your wellies on and get searching haha :)
You guys drive on the opposite side of the road than we do here in America.
Excellently presented. Your humble voice, and your care in showing every detail and even the behinds….the lovely statuary, canal, and Lions from Clumber Park….sadly torn down by the Owner to deter taxes. Thank Goodness the chapel Parish Church is still there. Harlaxton is the definition of a pile. I wonder what the moslums will do when they’ve overcome England? ……who would rule this wicke’d world?…..
Thanks for your lovely comments about my video. I always appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching, Adam :)
"I wonder what the moslums will do when they’ve overcome England?"
Thankfully there are enough of us on the Right to stop that nonsense. We're already getting very noisy about it.
This beautiful home has been used in some movies.
Yes, I believe it was used for 'The Haunting' movie, amongst other shows/films :)
@@AdamExploresBritain I had to look it up but yes, it was used in "The Haunting.." Exterior shots anyway.
I knew a Librarian who named her son Ward Ward.
Haha. That's amazing 😃
Hello, I don't believe you were aware that you caught Sasquatch on your video, I thought I saw something in the hedges on your left on the highway. I put the setting to 2160p then on .25 omg and zoomed into the hedges. so many are very very visible, you might want to check it out. I took screenshots but couldn't find an Email to send them to. Just saying.
Wow, I was not aware you had them there.
From 0:04- 0:42
At 0:04 you can see the first two.
After checking again they are in the hedges on the right as well. 👍🏽
I would like to go to college there.
The exterior will always be the house from 1999's The Haunting.
I will actually have to get around to watching it one day. I'm ashamed to say that I havn't watched it yet, when it seems to be very famous for that reason :)
@@AdamExploresBritain The interior from the film is mostly a set, and a fantastically atmospheric and quite memorable design (that really couldn't align with the footprint of Harlaxton).
So they only allowed you to see the entry and three rooms, plus the basement? What a shame.
Basically the main rooms downstairs, or the state rooms. It's pretty standard in most country houses which allow the public in, in my experience. Some places don't even allow you inside so I always appreciate any inside access, especially if they don't mind you filming. This is a University campus so the upstairs rooms will also be private for the use of students etc. They have no obligation to allow people onto the grounds at all, so I was happy to finally have the chance to have a look around. Adam :)
This place is not normally open to the public. Its current or last tenant is an obscure American University.
That's right. The University of Evansville :)
Current owners, although all you really own when it comes to Listed buildings is the responsibility of upkeep.
Is this where the haunting was filmed?
Yes, it was :)
For those curious about Gregory Gregory's name, Wikipedia has an entry on Harlaxton Manor. In summary, Gregory was originally named Gregory Williams. Gregory was a family name and when he inherited the Manor, he was required to adopt the Gregory surname. Hence, Gregory Williams becomes Gregory Gregory. You can see by my account name why this interests me.
I wish I could report to you that my name came to me as a result of the requirements of inheriting property. Alas, that is not the case.
The Wiki entry has other details about the family tree worth reading. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlaxton_Manor
Thanks Gonzalo Gonzalez for this additional information. I'm sure it will be of interest to others. Thanks, Adam 😃
As an American I cannot believe the quantity of HUGE gilded age and beyond "homes" you have in the UK. Arent ya'll needing more space? 😮
I think everyone is needing more space these days haha. We do have space actually, it's just that planning rules restrict us from building on most of it. Thanks for watching, Adam :)
It's National history my friend. We don't build over National history else we lose our identity.
Your voice sounds exactly the same as Griff from the Ouija Brothers TH-cam channel
Interesting. I'll have to check out a video to find out how similar it is, haha. Thanks for watching :)
Why is it they fly an American flag alongside the Union Jack.
The University of Evansville in the USA use this as a foreign campus :)
@@AdamExploresBritain the more you know
What is going on with this house?! Granted, I might know, if I were to unmute the video and stop the beautiful 1930's music I'm playing on a 2nd TH-cam page, but I just cannot. The music is too good. Now, from what I can tell, it appears this home has been lovingly, restored, by possibly, a Neuvo riche American. Of course, this is purely conjecture, on my part, and is based solely, on the sight of that American flag flying out front and the rather, ahum (clearing throat), skimpy, flimsy looking (and too new for the period), light fixtures. So, does anyone know what is going on? ...and don't even get me started on that University junk they have in there! I see now, by glancing up at the prelude, there is some mention of The University of Evansville (of all places). This is all over the map and why haven't I ever heard of, or seen such an interesting place??? Upon first sight, it looked grander than Buckingham Palace!
It was originally built for a local man called 'Gregory Gregory' (yes, two first names haha). As you noticed, some fixtures and fittings etc were replaced later on and into the 20th century. It's an amazing place, and not really advertised or opened to the public very often. I appreciate you taking the time to 'watch' my video. All the best, Adam :)
@@AdamExploresBritain It was my pleasure, Adam. I appreciate your taking the time to produce it. You certainly, have all my best wishes, too. ~James
Ostentatious!!!
Absolutely! :)
Ce lieu est magnifique. Mon seul souci réside dans le bruit irrespectueux que font tous ces gens qui visitent ces lieux chargés d'Histoire et de sérénité. Cela s'entend dans cette vidéo, c est juste insupportable. C'est dommage. Je n'irai jamais dans ces lieux ouverts au "public"
I'm glad you liked the building. Thanks for watching all the way from France :)
This manor is huge and splendid but it is not my taste. Too heavy plasters.
Lol! :D
Feio por fora e bonito por dentro
DID ELIZABETH 11 EVER VISIT HERE?
Not that I'm aware of :)
look at that a empty house there and here in america cant even get a house here or better yet a decent car with ac heat running inaqcaute as a american citizen of a father whom served the USA military
No offence, but that's an issue with your government and the President you vote for. Over here in England, we have the same issues with housing, but we don't build over National history like this. This is a historical estate that says much for our identity and character. The Victorians were grand builders and excessive. It's not the attitude of today, but it stays so we can learn from it.
All the best in your goals for life. I'm a Millennial and the daughter of an ex-military man myself, so I feel your pain. I can't even afford a house full stop! :D
BEYOND MIND BOGGLING. I daresay, even though I am the farthest thing from a historic English country home expert, this house is astoundingly overdone. The amount of extreme ornamentation throughout SO much of it is dizzying.
Thanks for watching! Yes, the point can be made that it's somewhat overdone, depending on one's personal tolerance of the level of exuberance (wow, that sentence sounded a bit intelligent, haha). But yes, I agree, it really does have that wow factor in places to the point that it can be a bit overwhelming. I really liked it though. The original owner/creator was obviously intending this to a showpiece and I think we can conclude that he succeeded in his aim! Thanks again for your time and your comment, it's much appreciated, Adam :)
It is a bit OTT!It would have been mind boggling in it’s hey day with pictures on the walls & tapestries & carpets.All a bit much but typical of it’s time!
@@elizabethcornwell4156 Yes. For the time, our Gregory Gregory would have been trying to show his neighbours at other country houses that he could build a house that was more amazing than theirs. Money would have been no object, up to a point. The fascination with these places is that it shows what could be achieved artistically and architecturally when you had almost unlimited funds. It's almost the ultimate art.
@@AdamExploresBritain yes,the garden as much as the house shows you the staff & resources that were availble,& how times have had to change!
Gregory Gregory was an eccentric who mainly built the house to house his collection of art and objects from around the world. He also wanted to out-do Belvoir Castle in the amount of rooms! XD
The Empire of EVIL. NEMESIS is coming soon.......
Thank you, Adam. I attended Harlaxton College in 1990. My wife enjoyed seeing your tour. Thank you so much. Many blessings.
Try heating that place in an English winter. Living in it would be like living in city hall.
