We visited Chatsworth a couple of years ago and were given an impromptu performance on the piano by someone who was the spitting image of the present duke. He never introduced himself, but I am certain it was the man himself.
The duke and duchess are always about the estate and they do interact with the guests quite a lot.
To those of you interested, I highly recommend "The House" by the duke's late mother, Deborah. This piece did not even begin to scratch the surface of the history of the house, the family, and its contents. It's one of three books I would want if stranded on a desert island. The dowager duchess was the last surviving of the Mitford sisters and her writing is as witty as any of her sisters'. I actually ran into her on the street in London once and we had the most incredible conversation. And if you are walker, stay in Bakewell and hike the three miles through the countryside to Chatsworth. Best thing I ever did.
Wow..the famous three Mitford sisters! That must of been quite memorable conversation. Thank you for the recommendation 🤭👍👏
Thank you. am elderly and largly confined to my bed, I still have from AU a profound love of history mainly English.
Noted. I have books on The Mitfords and am interested in some of the books the late Dowager Duchess Deborah wrote.
Just ordered the book. Thank you so much for the tip…
Oh I cannot wait to finally go to England when the world opens back up
Chatsworth and Castle Howard are the only two English houses that forced me to sit down when I first walked into them. Shockingly spectacular. Imagine the incomprehensible WEALTH it took to build these things!!
One wonders where it all came from.
I'd love to see interviews with the people who clean all this. The dusting alone is a staggering job.
I agree.
I personally call it a boring Butler Job. The Austrian showed us the reality with a Portier in Hotel Sacher. When I was a child. Then you stop being obsessed with Royalty and may even want to have a Job in the Hotel Industry?
Vacuuming would also be staggering !!
I saw the national trust clean a stately home once it was fascinating the little tricks they used so as not to damage the items.
Not only was I too wondering about the cleaning. Which insurance company insures ALL that art, the premium must be astronomical. Although I'm positive there are a number of companies that would need to share the risk.
Goes to show this son understood his father's wishes. Family was very close, everyone had a roll, and of great importance. It is for everyone.
A real British Treasure. Bravo!
Я был знаком с Чатсвортом лишь по книге Дэвида Уоткина (David Watkin) по истории архитектуры Западной Европы, изданной в переводе на русский язык в Кёльне в 2001 году, а теперь увидел его воочию. Да, это воистину один из шедевров мировой архитектуры в целом, садово-парковой архитектуры, интерьеров, а также и одна из лучших действующих дворянских усадеб в мире -- настоящее сокровище Англии. Спасибо ведущей и Его Светлости Герцогу Девонширскому!
Chatsworth was a study house for me when I was in school in the UK. It is fantastic!!
I visited Chatsworth in 2018. I'll never forget it 😍
Beautiful leather embossed wall panels. The Chateau of Marly near Paris, unfortunately, no longer exists; built in 1679 appears to be the inspiration for this palace. So glad the English version still exists. The modern sculptures look wonderful on the Cascade. The reclining Canova, wow.Thanks for this posting and thanks to the Duke of Devonshire for the thoughtful but expensive maintenance.
I visited this house more than 100 times,and it never ceases to amaze me the sheer scale+size of the house+grounds..Lived in Bakewell many years,and it's a pleasure to have such an historic piece on our doorstep .👍💯💯👍
I really enjoy visiting these treasure houses. They let you see all of the beautiful art/furniture as it was meant to be seen. Much better than seeing in a museum. ❤️
Bess of Hardwick left behind some wonderful houses. They are the reason people are still talking about her today.
Chatsworth....absolutely amazing. I cant even fathom this being one of many of homes to the family.
I've visited many country houses in England and Chatsworth was the best. It had a very warm and welcome atmosphere which made the visit so pleasant and relaxing.
I like how they keep showing and talking about these beautiful and intricate objects and not showing them up close
That is my one issue with this program. What is the point of talking about the pieces of art and not detailing them? To get people to visit?
While this video focuses on the Royal Apartment at Chatsworth, it should be remembered that part of the public loyalty to the Estate, is based on the actions of William. Cavendish, who during the plague outbreak at Eames, the Duke of Devonshire provided more food. To the village than could have possibly been consumed by the populace during the town’ Quarantine and only asked for a tiny amount that they could afford, showing true Noblesse Oblige. It was due to. This that those. That survived the epidemic, did not starve to death during those long. Forty days.
Absolutely breathtaking, stunningly beautiful. The back ground photo shoots spectacular loved every minute xxxx
Hello👋Shelley how are you doing today hope you're safe over there?
I hope this year brings happiness and prosperity and love💕 to all american and to the worldwide🌍. I'm Dwayne Henderson by name. If I may ask where are you from?😍
Before "Downton Abbey", this might have been the most famous English country estate. I first saw this estate in the movie "Pride and Prejudice".
The Pride and Prejudice movie from 1995 was actually filmed on an estate called Lyme Park.
@@crabbyoldman1022 I don't know about that. I see Chatsworth in a few exterior shots.
@@crabbyoldman1022 Yes, I live near Lyme Park and the 1995 BBC filming was done there, and the exterior shots are of the House, a Tudor house originally, transformed into an Italianate palace.
@@andyroo9381 Not in the famous BBC Pride and Prejudice, but
Chatsworth was used in the Keira Knightley film. It's thought that Jane Austen based her Pemberley on Chatsworth, which she'd visited before writing her novel. She even mentions Chatsworth briefly - Elizabeth visits it before she visits the Pemberley Estate.
@@janebrown7231 Yes, I was referring to the Keira Knightly film as the Chatsworth I know of. I am unaware of the BBC version of the Jane Austin book.
Absolutely beautiful. No other words could describe how beautiful this place is. The paintings and tapestries are splendid.
It’s just wonderful to have all that history behind the gorgeous place!! I just love the grounds & buildings of this place.❣️
I am very lucky to live on the doorstep of Chatsworth and Hardwick Hall. Chatsworth is my favourite country house. I have fond memories as a child first visiting Chatsworth on a school trip in the late 1960s. The wonderful 11th Duke came and chatted with us whilst touring his home. His wife Deborah, waved to us when we stopped to have a picnic. Chatsworth holds amazing firework displays in November and is magical at Christmas. A beautiful and welcoming home.
Hello👋 how are you doing today hope you're safe over there?
The dining room decorated with the Christmas trees made me come!!!
You should see the house when the sunlight hits the west front--all the window frames are covered in gold leaf.
England is full of beautiful homes. Full of history, full to the brim of magnificent things.
Loved being there in 2017; enjoyed every moment of it.I am from Australia.
Light and intellectual documentary....
The people who did the photography (actually, videography) for this episode are excellent. Beautiful work by Richard Hall, Chris Taber and Adrian Walker.
Am amazed that such meticulous records were kept and survive! The names of designers, artists, gardeners, etc.
These kinds of records and more exist within every herechial rich family.. They keep records right down to who were staff and what ins and outs were spent.. They'll be a records room there somewhere with every year recorded right back to the very week it was built.. The difference between the rich aristo and the everyman.
@@solcutta3661 Probably so the "right" people inheriit!!! Sure glad we don't have to do that here!

@@dwaynehenderson556 Hi Duane... I've lived in Oklahoma, USA for more than 50 years now. My husband and I are safely vaccinated - twice! So we have no fears of Covid - hope the same for you! Where are you? If in USA, no need to tell you what a pleasant, not over-populated and relatively non-violent state we live in! If you are abroad, I guess my previous sentence tells you what I consider the basics of Oklahoma!
Beautiful, first time I saw this magnificent estate was in the 2005 film adaptation of pride & prejudice. I hope to take my wife and visit this home and other splendours in England.... one day.
What a lovely gentleman the Duke of Devonshire is🌹
Such a magnificent place.
Bravo! What a lovely presentation! Thank you!
I’ve been there and loved every bit that I could see
The fact that Jfk's sister would've been the Duchess of Devonshire and living in Chatsworth is really interesting

Her mother almost disowned her for marrying Billy. And then, they were dead.
@@meeeka she supported them in the end right before Billy died.
@@meeeka the kennedys was probably descended from a farmer, they can only taint the devonshire family tree
I know if I went I wouldn't want to leave,I would hide in a cupboard...then just lay and gaze at the cieling...
😂🤷🏽♀️
Too fantastic for words!!
that s the spirit to live there. great history great art
Can you imagine getting married there? Omg its so beautiful
Thoroughly enjoyed this. I am so in love with the stories of these magnificent homes and their history and, also the people who inhabited them.
I just love this place, it's magical
Just beautiful, living history. Those formal gardens are a triumph. I find the decoration of this great house a bit claustrophobic and ‘busy’ but there is no doubt of it’s magnificence.
Absolutely wonderful!!!💜✨
OmGosh how lovely it is ! It's so full of history and life. Thank u for sharing .
So pleased that Chatsworth has always been open to the public!
This was William and Mary time. I discovered the furniture time William And Mary which I love, now that I am 80 I have no chance to ever be around those beautiful things.
~ Outstanding workmanship. The woodworking is especially exquisite & exemplary. Did not know of Samual Watson, carver. Thank you!
What a wonderful family - thoroughly enjoyed

Lovely Selina Scott so good to see her at wonderul Chatsworth
Sandblasting the exterior will bring out the true beige color of the exterior walls and set Chatworth out as the bejeweled centerpiece of the landscaped grounds. Yes, I have been there once and would like to go back and have a second look. It is an experience of a lifetime. Sandblasting is the answer to so many of the old palaces, town halls, and churches around the country which have gathered soot and grime over the centuries. The interiors are always well-kept and filled with historical treasures, but the walls outside are always grimy, with a worn-out look. But for history and record-keeping, you cannot ever beat England. One must not forget the great museums and libraries too.
The music culled for this great series really sets the stage for what is shown. Much thought put into it.
I very much enjoyed this!
How can one family own over 6 homes with priceless antiques is mind boggling. Where did all the money come from ? And the up keep to boot. I would have loved to live back in that time,to live in a home like one of these would be a dream.
Thank you for the Chatsworth exhibition at Sotheby’s New York.
Yes, truly magnificent.
I was fortunate to grow up in "The Dukeries" so many magnificent houses in that part of the world. We visited Chatsworth regularly as well as Welbeck, Hardwick, Bolsover, Clumber, etc. Magnificent, truly magnificent.
So beautiful!!!
In my humble opinion, I find Chatsworth much more architectural pleasing than any of the royal residences, including Buckingham Palace. The beautiful gardens not to mention the engineering feat of the beautiful water displays. The interior and the amazing displays of artifacts, furniture , paintings are daunting for the average person. The duke appears not only knowledgeable but has such a pleasant demeanor. He often states "we're very lucky" when he speaks of the house and gives credit to his team and especially the people who come to visit. Would really enjoy being able to see this remarkable house and grounds one day. 😊 43:28
I have been twice and there are times when I LONG to be there again. Do not die without seeing Chatsworth. I don't like some of what the current duke has done, especially moving the Mercury statue from the great landing and, for some odd reason, removing the altar from the chapel, the house is in good hands and I will go again and plan to rent one of the cottages for a week when I retire.
Wonderful video. I wish the music had been included in the credits, it is lovely!
Absolutely Magnificat! I love visiting this lovely home.
The music is creating a beautiful scene 😍🌄🏞
excellent presentation thank you
You can see the family resemblance through all the generations. The present Duke appears in a film about the estate, he's a charming man.
Thanks for the video.
Cheers.
The current duke seems very down to earth. I enjoyed listening to him discuss this place the way he has.
There is no place like home...this estate is beautiful...luv, @undwallace... xxxooo 🌍🌎🌏😽😽😁❤️
Beautiful videos..is the music behind some or all of the videos by Vaughan Williams? Always reminds me of THE LARK! And then other Compositions like from Edward Elgar, etc
Magnificent Indeed!
Mystical.
I look forward to one day seeing this house in person.
Stunning.
Impressionante!
The background music is beautiful does anyone know what is is?
Would you mind telling me how to find out more about the bronze screaming men sculptures (covering their ears) in the cascading fountain? Are they made by Grillet? Are they still there? Stunning!
The Chatsworth estate has since spent £12 million on restoration, including the re-gilding of the house's many decorative Baroque features, including the windows.
It is a beautiful place.
I can’t even imagine living like this.
I hope to still live the day when a new way of generating affordable energy will become available to everybody.. including to the owners and caretakers of such architectural treasures in their remote country sides. We can see this progress every year. We get closer to this big game changer. Access to the internet, connecting any room in such a castle to the entire world any time if it is desired, seems like nothing special any more .. but it is in fact an incredible development for residents and visitors alike. (Such as me "visiting" the inside of the castle while sitting in a jungle place in South East Asia). LED lightening which saves electricity etc but still can fit the required light quality is another such progress in technology I think. Next should follow the power generating invention to allow low cost heating and cultivation of plants in greenhouses which are in need of warmer temperatures. (P.ex. Orchids) Instead of being beautiful remotely located museums such places will be able to combine history, art and and new income!
Wow!!! you talk like Nicola Tesla.......... free energy.
@@dinogove Yes. We need this still to be achieved. For the benefit of the entire humankind. End the parasitic condition of oil business. Money must stay with the people and be spent for improvements right in their proximity. Save the costs for energy and use the savings to further upgrade the castle p.ex. What a nice perspective.
@@NickVenture1 I love the way you think. Energy should be free. Big business must stop their relentless greed.
@@dinogove Exactly. It will create a huge shift in the distribution of wealth. When people, villages, towns and nations can finally generate the energy required to function without giving away a penny to the oil producers. , I mean especially these desert places from where this dirt has to be moved over the oceans and continents in order to be burned. It is a parasitic system because wealth generated by billions of people thanks to their hard work and intelligence is siphoned away by a minority selling basically rotten dirt. Many scientists are working on this matter and we can hope that the days when energy will become available for "free" are soon to come. To run and own a large house or such castles will be much more easy... That is the future !
@@dinogove Big business and greed are exactly why these types of mansions and treasures exist!
It would be marvelous if they could get a Butterfield horse modeled upon the charger the first Duke is riding in that portrait, as they love adding modern sculpture. It would be beautiful on the parkland, a rearing model of that horse. I wonder what its name was?
Wow, wow, wow, I'm speechless!

This house reminds me of Mr. Darcy's house in the 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice.
I find it breathtaking; my ancestor, my Great Great Grandmother was a cook at this estate home.........
What is the gorgeous violin piece which begins these episodes?
I don't live far from chatsworth, I've never been in the grounds but drove past quite a few times I can't really explain why I've never paid a visit there when it's so close and I've been in lots of stately homes but not chatsworth.
What were there lives like? I hope there lives were happy with all of the beauty!
All those rooms and we only get to see a handful?
It's sounds like a very happy and loving thrupple to me.
Darcy didn't look quite as I expected...but the main thing is that Elizabeth was happy...
🙏Thank you🙏❤🌲✌
I loved King William . In my opinion , he was one of the best rulers in British History . He laid down the foundations for British Dominance . He also laid down the foundations of a more modern democracy . And he laid down the foundations for diplomatic kings for the future .
Peter the Great of Russia , called King William his hero. So you can say through King William's long distance tutelage , Peter the Great only achieved what he achieved , because of the enormous influence of King William .
@28:41 lol. YES!!! #QuiteRightly #SayItWithYourChest!
Como puedo, visitar este lugar, me encanta la historia creo soy almade ese tiempo, en mi cuerpo pues adoro lo antiguo vestimenta, y lo que más adoro es ver la cocina de los años 1600 ver la estufa de hierro y lo demás me derrite yo debí nacer en ese tiempo, claro con privilegios porque los muy pobres sufrían, gracias por compartir
Nice
I like the swans. You should get more!
The owner gives an impressive interview.
WOW !
Does anyone know the name of the song at 0:47?
One step short of Heavenly Paradise!
Beautiful House ❤
Anyone know the piece of music that plays at 0:47?
