The Country House at Home with Oliver Gerrish

The current situation has stopped many of us being able to travel. The country houses of England have been under dust sheets for months on end. We came up with the idea of creating tailor-made video tours of these magnificent buildings and collections, along with the owners and curators, for clients who miss the experience of these places. Architectural historian Oliver Gerrish will lead a tour of your chosen house, as well as particular aspects of their architecture or collections that fascinate you. Our tours are designed for museums, patrons’ circles, presents for loved ones or for general interest. Filmmaker Freddie FitzHerbert will edit the films with your logos and branding as part of this bespoke service.
We hope you enjoy our sample film, which showcases three houses - Chillington Hall, Tissington Hall and Wentworth Woodhouse.
The variety and scope of English country houses is almost infinite - we look forward to sharing it with you.

    Great videos! Although I’m from the US, my ancestors on both sides were aristocrats from England who settled in Virginia in the colonial period. My mother’s ancestor Thomas Ligon was from the same family as the Giffards at Chlllington Hall. His great-great grandmother Anne Berkeley Dennis/Denys was the sister of Thomas, 5th Lord Berkeley, ancestor of Barbara Throckmorton who married into the Giffard family and you referenced in your video.

    I love this not just for the homes but to “meet” the owner/ occupiers who seem very much to be just regular people which I hope they take as a compliment. And anyway… the only thing anyone can “own” with respect to real property is a temporary use right that remains valid only as long as one lives.

    Pukka English gent! Lovely. So sad that the politics of envy destroyed so many of these houses as working estates and homes, and drove many owners to sell to the National Trust. My great-grandparents were respectively cook and gamekeeper on a large estate. They had a wonderful life, according to my grandmother, who spent her summers with them.

I take your point, but let's not whitewash the fact that it was the post-war Labour government's mission to ruin anyone who owned land and one of these lovely houses.

    @@hunterluxton5976 History cannot be erased,,nor can some kind of utopia be created simply by destroying that which was, by our modern reckoning, ill-gotten. That is the way of the Maoists - back to "Year Zero" and erasing history. The "buffoons" who had custodianship over these estates and houses employed entire communities. The post-war Labour government set out deliberately to destroy rural Britain, eliminate the agrarian way of life, and create a state that ruled and ran everything. Using death duty and high income tax, they achieved this. The result is the mess that Britain is today.
