I grew up in the gatehouse at the beginning of this video and my family still live there now. I never truly appreciated its beauty at times waking up to it every morning as it just became the norm, I met students at the campus and travelled to North America more as a result and fell in love with the skylines... go figure I now live in Canada and miss seeing this place more than anything.
When I was at Harlaxton in 1989, the gatehouse was unsafe and strictly off limits, so... of course, a classmate (Jana) and I snuck in. They weren't wrong. Getting to the ground level from the basement where we entered, was fine... but at around 180, the ancient plaster-covered hay bales that were the stairs did not qualify as safe for me, so I never saw the top floor that crossed the road. I always thought it would have made a cool house though!
The haunting (1999) is what makes me interested in this place...if only the gothic style interior from the movie was real to match the jacobean, baroque, elizabethan style architecture of harlaxton manor exterior 💯
Nice work.
Thank you for watching and for the positive feedback ! :)
