- Built for the first Lord Berwick in 1785, Attingham Hall and its beautiful parkland were owned by one family for more than 160 years. As their fortunes rose and fell they proved themselves to be spenders, savers and saviours - providing a fascinating story of love and neglect whose mark still stands in Attingham’s rooms today.
Discover the traces of the family story throughout the mansion, from the flashy but flawed Picture Gallery roof that contributed to the bankruptcy of the second Lord Berwick, to the prized paintings of the cattle that the fifth Lord loved.
Attingham’s saviours, the eighth Lord and Lady, began restoration work that lives on in the Attingham Re-Discovered project. This project aims to bring the mansion back to life, and in 2015, visitors can see our conservation work in action in the Picture Gallery, as we conserve and restore the lower levels of this unique space prior to the re-installation of paintings in 2016.

When the building was used as a college I used to live in there in 1984, 1985 and 1986 for one month each in July. The male students had their bedrooms on the second floor, female students were in rooms on the backside. Classrooms were on the first floor. When you leave the building via the back there was a car park where now they have grass. And there was a volleyball-field and a tennis court. I had a wonderful time there... should go back and visit it. The college now is in Acton Burnell Hall.
Thank you so much for your detailed video... I really enjoyed it!
I cannot but help admire the accomplishment of the work men who created this place considering the curves and the angles in so many of the rooms.
Magnificent ceilings! The one thing I'm not a fan of in rooms of such high ceilings is when they hang smaller pictures high up, where you can't see them properly.
Once the national trust takes them over the councils can't knock them down .its our history a lot of famous people use to own them there our history .
I have been a member of the national trust for 6 years they are lovely places .you can take your children and grandchildren around the house and gardens .
Beautiful and not overly done! I love seeing all the working rooms as well as the formal spaces :)
Love this place went recently
Thank you so much for posting this! I enjoyed it very much.
wonderful music!!!
I really enjoyed this video--so nice to have actual footage rather than just a never ending array of photographs. Well done on the music as well--perfect accompaniment
for this tour of Attingham Hall. Perhaps one day this stately home will be used as a residence for another period drama. It would be perfect!
The old pile looks forlorn and unloved, but I really enjoyed a look around without intrusive commentary. Thank you.
Such a wonderful video, concentrating on detail and the areas often overlooked, such as the exquisite ceilings. But I could have done without the music which was lovely but for me a distraction!
Amazing film,amazing music !
Who does own or what family did it belong to, it is beautiful. Nothing to over the top, it’s just gorgeous, I love these beautiful old homes .They are really built to last they do. Not like homes of today, and so interesting.
Wow wow
It's always odd to think that these houses were built for one family to live in, of course dozens of servants but today we are expected to live in boxes.
What’s the music - it’s fabulous
Interesting house and one I hope to visit someday but it certainly shows the difference between commissioning a competent architect and a brilliant architect. Palladio would not have been pleased.
@tony biddle Do you not appreciate historic architecture?
New full film
music????
Music is too exuberant for the subject, sublime not fury.
why do so many English places end in the word ham 😂 my maiden name is Lapham, were from Bristol, Devonshire, and Gloucester areas, I have a family crest registered at the college of arms and have never been to England how horrible is that! my children are raised and it's almost time I can't wait! my first castle and British pint, mabe find a Lapham ancestral home?
-ham means village
@@elisabettaluciani9080wow I never knew... I'm a ham
Or the original person was a butcher.
I spent 3 years photographing the work taking place at Attingham when they put the new roof over the Nash Gallery, sometimes living on site in my motorhome for weeks at a time. Have a look at the time lapse video I did of the roof glass being installed: th-cam.com/video/KnxAkUa4UpU/w-d-xo.html
Does Great Britain have any measureable earthquake activity and how does that possibly affect these older structures. It seems that one of the reasons why Britain has had the styles of architecture we all seem to think originate from there and are to be found there is possiboy due to there being very little otherwisr these mud and timber structures would have all disappeared or burned down long ago.
I think someone was killed in an earthquake in the 1920s, when a tile fell off a roof during a quake and hit him on the head. Our quakes are occasional, usually unnoticed, and mild.

Make sure they have not linked it to the slave trade first.
No
