Lucky are we that can enjoy a treasure house like Burghley even if we live on the other side of the world.

An informative tour of 5 stunning, historic properties. 🏆

Thanks for the memories! Your short stop in the Hell Staircase missed the best part: The painted walls and ceiling! In your defense, it would be hard to do justice to any single room in that house in only six minutes! After touring the house during the Burghley Horse Trials in 2002, we stopped in the Chestnut Courtyard, where I asked my lovely companion to marry me. This video makes me think that we should go to the horse trials again next year to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the occasion! A suggestion: drone footage of the grounds and the action during the horse trials would make a great video!

A magnificent edifice.

That place reminds me of the Secret Garden house. They just don't make houses like they used to

I've taken on board the varied comments about the speed of the video and I'm working on a slower edited version but being shot originally at 30 frames per second I can only reduce the speed by 20% without it becoming 'jittery' and freeze frame where the written notes were particularly short.

I always wonder why bedrooms in these old houses are not completely private (every room is connected to each other ). If someone wants to go to the office next to your bedroom don’t they have to walk pass inside your bedroom? Won’t you be disturbed? Why are the rooms and the corridor not separated with a wall like we do today? Then people can just access any room from the corridor and you won’t get disturbed if you lock your room

@essexonfilm

I think it has something to do with the powerful families of these grand homes having servents to wait on them hand foot and finger so there was always someone close by to be at their beck and call 24/7. Also, personal privacy was much less of an issue than it is today. It could well be that there was a corridor at one stage but was removed when the commercial opportunities of opening up the house became apparent.

Exactly that. Some of these major English country homes and estates, Burghley included, would occasionally be called upon to cater for a Royal visit and all that entailed and it was also about being seen to be richer and more oppulant than the other. It was a sign of your status within society and it was also extremely important to not only put on a grand show when a Royal passed through on their way across country but also to be seen to do so. Sometimes months of planning and huge expence would go into just one overnight stay of the Queen or King and the hundred or so of people at court that were reuired to go along with them.

The obscene wealth strikes us all, I'm sure. The Cecil family placed Burghley House into a charitable trust in 1961. No doubt, taxation played a role in that donation. The Cecil family manages the charitable foundation and they continue to live in Burghley House to this day. The current Eighth Marquess of Exeter, Michael Cecil, lives in British Colombia, where he manages other legacy property of the Cecil family. He lived in Burghley house with his grandparents as a schoolboy. Current Lord Burghley, his son Anthony, also lives in British Columbia. Their cousin Miranda Rock acts as House Director for the charitable foundation, and lives in Burghley House with her husband and four children. The Rock family occupies a tiny portion of the house, while most is treated as a museum open to the public.
