One of our key factors at Wentworth Woodhouse is engaging with young people through training in all areas to working within the community on projects, so it's stories like these we love being apart of so we can really benefit the future of young people, especially in the heritage sector!
It's fascinating watching the progress. Really appreciate the videos showing the attention to detail when achieving such an amazing restoration. Thank you
This may be a stupid question, but does lead roofing affect the soil below? When it rains, does the runoff have toxic properties? Maybe that's a video topic!
❤ Thrilled that WW is being worked on and saved. Worried about how things are being desensitized and overly modernized. Why is the parking lot so ugly and poorly laid out? It makes WW look like an amusement park. There's a very big difference between creating a public spectacle and a properly restored situation to be experienced by the public. All of the focus seems to point to the former happening, which means that WW is immediately losing its value. We've seen the same thing in Victoria BC where a number of beautiful spaces became "attractive" to tourists... then became "attractions"... then became dated and no longer attractive after a decade. One hundred years or more of beauty, a LOT of money on "upgrades" to modernize, ten years of "use" and then no longer being "useful" so lost to development. If there are policies in place to make certain that restoration of roofing materials and structural methods are sensitive to how the building was built, the same should be taken into consideration for the entire project.
Many thanks for your comments and we hope that we're actively avoiding the outcomes you describe. Across the whole of the site at Wentworth Woodhouse, we're totally committed to the restoration and conservation of the historical fabric of what we acquired back in 2017. Most of the buildings are Grade 1 or Grade 2* listed and we take our responsibilities as custodians of these precious assets very seriously. As we work through what will probably be a twenty-year programme of regeneration, we have a single core aim. We have to secure a sustainable future for the site. This means that the buildings we have and the small piece of land on which they sit, have to be able to generate the revenues needed to pay the costs of upkeep and staffing. Wentworth Woodhouse wasn't sold with a large estate providing income from rents or other commercial activities. We have the buildings and 83 acres of gardens. One of the first things that we did, was to assess the capacity for changes of use within the structures, some of which, like the Stables, had lost almost all of their original interiors during the 20th Century. Thankfully, the roofs and walls of the Stables were largely unaltered and the restoration of this original fabric is a priority, to prevent further decay. Reimagining how these spaces can be used to generate the income that we need is another key challenge, but the focus is on the vision, of creating a sustainable future for Wentworth Woodhouse itself, which in turn, will help it to provide a catalyst for positive change across the whole of South Yorkshire. The new car park is as yet unfinished. Part of it is currently being used as site office space for the works at the Stables and none of the landscaping has been done as the access route into the car park is also being used for site vehicles. The car park will fit into its setting much better once these final works have been completed.
@@OfficialWentworthWoodhouse It's good to hear that this is the utilitarian version of the car park. I absolutely agree that the buildings need to be utilized in regard to maintaining an income for the property and not necessarily be kept in the exact original image. As long as the modern additions, such as the parking, are designed sensitively then that makes a huge difference.

I love that the old skills aren't being allowed to die out & they are being helped by working at Wentworth Woodhouse

Good-on Isaac for taking up the stone mason trade, he will never be short of work. Another great video. Thanks Wentworth Wood House.
Thank you for watching, we're glad we can work with young people like Isaac!
