I first went to Tyntesfield shortly after it was saved by the Trust. Our small group had to be ferried from a Wraxall market's parking lot in a bus. There were portions of the house roped off. Then I was to go back some years later. Changes were amazing. My favorite part of the house is the chapel. It is just gorgeous (and this from one of the unchurched!).

Yes, the chapel is beautiful. Not forgetting the orangery.

oh this is a glorious programme

So glad National Trust bought if, for all of us. Wonderful film.

Amazing! What a beautiful house! I’d love to visit it when I go on holiday to England!

You could spend a week quite easily, so compleat is the treasure collected over the generations.

Loved the story and attention to detail

How does an elderly Hierarc Lord Raxel leave an 1863 Victorian Gothic Mansion with no last will in testament ? Just so eccentric- I imagine that elderly old man living amongst all that family history...conjures up the" Fall of the House of Usher"....You know he probably couldn't stand noise volume of any kind. so strange indeed.

Dan always reminds me of that classroom skit I did when I was a kid back in the 1980s, where one of my straight-laced, rather shy classmates (who was actually a good sport, up for a laugh) would read a presentation to the class whilst sitting on a chair with their arms wrapped and hidden behind them. Meanwhile I'd crouch behind them hidden underneath their school blazer which was hung over the back of the chair, sticking my arms though it, gesticulating as my arms were THEIR arms. Dan's hands are EXACTLY like that. Who is operating them? Is it Dan, really?

I love visiting the house you can feel that it was a happy family house to live in I was very lucky to have met lord wraxall in 1999 even though he had a lot of money he was driving around in an old batterd car and he told me about his big huge house he was living in

@@marywimmer5018 I think he was a bit lonely he only said he was living in one part of the house because it was so expensive to heat up and it was damp I remember him telling me he once got held hostage on his property locked in his car boot as he was filling up his car with petrol but they got away without anything, he did say he didn’t have anyone close to him to leave his belongings to, I wish I took his invitation to his house but I was only young then , to scared to go to someone’s house I hardly knew

A treasure trove of the past, and the woundfull memory of Victoria past and empire alas we must move on.

A virtual time capsule. Sounds like the family was kind of eccentric from the " get go". What a place I'd never heard of. One of these days this Yank will get across the Pond. After all my ancestors were British...Taylor's, Kiplings, Wardsells,etc.

Well worth a visit. The late Lord Wraxall was a truly charming man somewhat drowning in its history. One of the greatest unedited Victorian stately piles of England. Wraxall would happily talk to a cat or a king or even me, the paper boy.

Guano is bat droppings.

He literally was the shit ,it made the family fortunes!

thank god that Minogue woman didn't get it

That a single family could hoard so much wealth through colonialism and selling bird droppings to make explosives that would kill thousands is disgusting. The beauty of the manor contradicts the horrible nature of it's creation in a haunting way.

What a ghastly hole: of minimal historic value, except perhaps to showcase one (defunct) family, and the worst 'Victorian Values' - exploitation, privilege, and sanctimonious religiosity., built on bird droppings. When even the antiques dealer from Sotherby's can find no greater treasure than some utterly dull and dusty miniatures; it's definitely time to move on, Dan.
