I'm from Latin America and while it is so far to visit because of the distance I love your videos since hey let me travel without quitting the sofa. Thanks a lot! (Small request... I would enjoy a lot a small breath between scenes to avoid that small anxious feeling of "time compression". My feelings are that these videos are so good, actual documentaries, that 30 seconds extra will not prevent people from watching until the end)
Absolutely beautiful and stunning homes and gorgeous gardens! My father who was English, and emigrated to Auckland City, New Zealand in 1947, inspired my love of the English countryside houses and gardens, simply because he had a love of English history and architecture! Well done indeed!
Wonderful to see a side by side of all locations used in each adaptation. Thank you. Much like I prefer the 1995 adaptation, I also prefer the locations used in 1995. That being said, all of these sites are so beautiful and deserves to be kept for generations to come. I wonder what Jane Austen would have written in a comment section of a video such as yours, except perhaps "There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort".
Loved this video of yours. Wish I'd realised when I lived in Derbyshire for a year, how full of Jane Austen locations it was, but thankfully I did get to both Chatsworth House and Lyme Park the Pemberleys you mention. But hope to visit the other locations you mention someday. Wondered if it might be with doing a video on Haddon Hall. It's on the same route between the Two Pemberleys and was used for most, though not all, film and TV versions of Jane Eyre as well as the main location for The Princess Bride, as well as other films and series. Both the interiors and the exteriors. And the gardens are beautiful.
Thanks so much! I totally intend on doing a film on Haddon Hall. I visited last summer and was absolutely blown away with the place! I think it is one of the pretties country homes in England. I will ask for permission to film and hopefully I can get the drone up too 😊
You do an excellent job of showing these houses, my vacation time there is getting longer every time I watch a video. I saw very old footage once of an old house being taken down and the sight of it was rather devastating! I can't imagine how you must have reacted on seeing the destruction of the houses. Thank goodness there are still quite a few left! Thanks again for the work you put into these videos.
Thank you, I loved this. I love the British country houses❤️😊 I'm always looking for the history of them. Imagine all those amazing houses which were demolished!! 🤔😐🌏🪐🍀🌕🙏🦋🌺🌸👣🦉🏡🌴🌹🌹🌹
Thank you Mikey for another fabulous video. I'm truly going to explode if I can't travel soon! 😒 We're in lockdown here in Australia, but with New South Wales surging ahead in vaccine uptake, they're beginning only now to speak of international travel being a possibility soon(ish) for people in this state. My list of things I need to see grows ever longer .....perhaps it won't be too long before I can step foot on English soil again. Thank you again for all your efforts.
Jane Austen's mother, Cassandra Leigh was related to the family at Lymm Park, through her descent from the Leighs at Stoneleigh Abbey. It seems fitting that some filming would be done at a Leigh property. The Leigh/Legh family also owned Adlington Hall, which was sold this year, after 700 years in the family.
Interesting to see the locations of the two adaptations side-by-side. The 2005 film was anachronistic in so many ways - the locations shown here are way too over-the-top for the people in Pride and Prejudice. In contrast, the locations for the 1995 adaptation are perfect, as was the film itself in terms of its fidelity to the book and the society of the time that Jane Austen portrayed..
I agree but with repeated watchings (many, many times!) I found Jennifer Ehle's Elizabeth to be frustratingly mannered. Everyone else in it was word perfect, a magical cast, I doubt that anyone will ever out do Alison Steadman's Mrs Bennett or David Bamber's Mr Collins and the ensemble playing was peerless from all of them so it's a shame I find one of the two central characters so weak.
Hi!! Been watching some of your videos and I QUITE enjoyed them! I was reading about the name Darcy, turns out, it hasn't many people named that way. But i read that there was an Earl of Holderness that was named Darcy... to tell you the truth, I'm flirting with the idea of writing a P&P fanfiction, adding this bit of history to the work of J.A. Anyway, I've looked in whatever not-so-hidden website or page i could find, and found out about this Earl's seat, Hornby Castle. There's however, two of those, one in Lancaster and the other in York... and though eventually i found a video, shot from a drone of the one in Lancaster, and a good number of pictures, there was very little to be found about Hornby in York, which happens to be the one that belonged to this Earl. Insert sad face. Only a few contemporary pictures of it from afar, and only its side. And some pictures of paintings of way back when from the same perspective, aside from a few B&W pictures and drawings of the front at the beginning of the 20th century before it was partially torn down. Now here goes... Do you happen to have pictures or video of the front? Or known of some websites where I could look it up? Please, i would appreciate any help on this, however small. Thank you.
I am sure that in Jane Austen’s imagination Longbourn was more impressive than it is portrayed in film and TV adaptations. Mr Bennet's annual income of £2,000 was a very large sum of money at the time because most families in England had incomes of less than £50 per annum. Consequently, in the BBC’s 1980 adaptation the house used for Longbourn is too small. It is a former dower house and gives the impression that the Bennets were on the bottom rung of the gentry when in fact Mr Bennet’s income was double the sum the Ferrars family received from an estate in Norfolk in Sense and Sensibility and more than double the income of Mr John Willoughby of Combe Magna in the same novel. Hence the house chosen for Longbourn in the BBC’s classic 1995 adaptation is almost certainly too modest as well. Finally, in the 2005 film the house chosen for the Bennets is more suitable in scale but, sadly, it is portrayed as shabby, an image not conveyed by Jane Austen. Indeed, in her novel we are told that when Lady Catherine de Bourgh was at Longbourn she ‘opened the doors into the dining-parlour and drawing room, and pronounced them, after a short survey, to be decent looking rooms.’
@@Xploreheritage Have you been there? I remember the famous bridge at the beginning of the lake but no roofed bridge with a loggia like in Stowe or Prior Park as it is shown in the series.
@@danielbofinger I was just at Stourhead yesterday - it was used for the 2005 film. The bridge that Keira is seen running over is most decidedly there but not open to the public to cross. It is referenced as a Palladian Bridge.
Hello, can I ask you a question, what is the accent used in the film pride and prejudice, because I want to learn it, I appreciate your answer and your help , thank you
I love Wilton beautiful house, interesting Herbert family very close relations the Earls of Carnarvon also own Highclere Castle (Downton). Also Sudbury Hall for those of certain age in UK will always be the rather creepy titles to “The Book Tower”. ITV Children’s TV Series.
When this Italianate mansions were first built in England during the 18th century the elaborate painted interiors with their huge frescoes were not always appreciated by the English literati and considered to be in bad taste -the poet Alexander Pope in his "Dunciad" referred to the frescoes of Verrio and Laguerre (two of the continental painters employed) as exponents of this bad taste nouveau riche bad taste.
@@Xploreheritage I think the parts beside lake and on bridge were there. i could be wrong but i did read that two locations were used for grounds of his home.
When were those frescoes painted? Looking as opposite to 'modest' ... You know, cause Lord Burghley supposedly was quite austere in his religious life and beliefs... Just wondering...

TV miniseries Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth my favourite !
😊

My favorite is still the 1980 version with Elizabeth Garvie and David Rintoul

I have only been to Basildon as I have family in Reading. Hope to get up the Chatsworth someday.
Very interesting!!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
It was believed that Jane Austin based it off of Wentworth Woodhouse. Heck, she gave Mr Darcy the first name of 'Fitzwilliam'
Very true Lisa! I will be back at Wentworth on Thursday 😊
Thank you.

@@Xploreheritage Thanks. Take care.
Hi there, I do not remember that Stourhead has a Palladium bridge so I assume that must’ve been filmed somewhere else
It does, it’s an incredible work of art. One of the best 😍

man your face looks soo crispy!which camera are you using?
I’ll take that as a compliment. Lol. I use a Fujifilm X-T4. It’s an excellent camera!

stourhead was used in Barry Lyndon for the grounds?
I didn’t realise! Castle Howard certainly featured quite heavily.
@@Xploreheritage I think the parts beside lake and on bridge were there. i could be wrong but i did read that two locations were used for grounds of his home.
❤❤❤❤
Wish you could show the insides of these houses.Can you not get inside them ?
Suddenly I feel like a pauper... :)
Don’t we all 😅
When were those frescoes painted? Looking as opposite to 'modest' ...
You know, cause Lord Burghley supposedly was quite austere in his religious life and beliefs... Just wondering...
Hi there. The interiors are largely 18th century so sadly Lord Cecil will have never witnessed the spectacular murals.
@@Xploreheritage Hi!! Thanks for the like and answer! Hope you're healthy and doing well.
Gynormous is not a word! Please Use the real words enormous or gigantic!👍
