This was my grandfathers house. We live just next door. We are heartbroken at its disrepair, the man that’s bought it from the Latvians ( not Polish), has done nothing with it. In the cold snap we had all the pipes burst which is why there’s so much damp. It’s very upsetting to see how it’s been neglected. Please don’t reveal where it is as it would be awful if it got vandalised.

Hi, thank you for the comment, very sorry you feel like that. It is a real shame how something so grand and historic can get to this state. I have been very careful as to not reveal any info about the place in the video. I hope you found our explore respectful, we hope it is rescued!

can you uy it and restore it and get archaeological experts to get grants from govt to fully restore it is a historical treasure it breaks my heart to see Tudor era mansions ( maybe palace) treasures left to rot and not restored write to King Charles ask for his help to buy it back and fully restore it

National Trust and a huge team of volunteers needed to save this building. The fireplaces are absolutely stunning.

I almost cried when the camera focused on King Henry's painting since I'm a Tudor enthusiast... what a gem.. the artifacts should be in the museum already.

Thank you Alex, Ned, and that youngster Eddy, for saving this place on video. That place was huge, with so much history being just tossed off and forgotten. That's what some people want to happen. If you don't learn from the past you get to do it again. So much being left to waste.

I hope some historic group takes this house on and restores it to it's original beauty and history. That's the trouble when these houses are brought by companies to turm into schools, hotels etc they ruin it. It needs to be saved. Well done guys. Let's hope someone/group see this and acquire it .

This was the most unbelievable.Things from late 1500's and just left behind. That's so much history. I love that era. Thanks for great video.

What a shame this place hasn't been restored by the National Trust. I think you'll find that the chapel at the end of the video was Latvian and not Polish. Thank you for taking us through such a gem.

It's absolutely criminal that this uniquely historic place has been dishonored and desicrated by careless owners and institutions!!! It should have been a museum preserved with all of it's original furnishings and fixtures...where was the Historical Society when the place was ousted from the original inheritors??? Shame, shame, shame. Would love to know more of the backstory, and only hope that it will indeed be finally taken in hand by the proper authority for restoration. The detailed architectural elements (fireplaces especially), and the paintings (?) etc, are all worth millions literally...WTH??? Who owns this property in the present? Ghosts and the banks???

They do it to destroy our history. They want no connection between what we've built and what they want for us. Can't make living in pods appealing unless they've removed our heritage and ability to afford property.

This Tudor building really had some great architecture inside. Awesome Explore Boys.

What a great explore, it was Latvians who lived there, i found some info on net from the memorial plaque it dates back to 1576 and a lot of very famous people lived there.

It really angers me that these old historical buildings have had so many owners and that they are left in this state. When you own a home of any age you are the caretaker of that property and you should respect and care for it. I hope that if it is demolished the old old oak beams and paneling that aren't damaged by mould and fungi can be saved as well as the portraits and tiles etc. Fantastic video guys . Thank you.

Incredible exploration and a wonderful channel. I found you yesterday and have now seen you go into a bungalow bunker, a WWII machine gun nest, a hidden military base mine, and now this venerable old house - so full of decayed splendor. I'm in Florida, USA (a decidedly less historic locale) and I can't say how much I appreciate this glimpse of your country's history.

Sadly, these things are likely to be genuine and just left to rot, like many other abandoned historical British buildings. They're mostly abandoned because of the cost of maintaining them. Is likely that all of the panelling and beams are genuine. All of the little rooms will have been built in for later accommodations. It's criminal how we neglect our history.

If you are concerned about the damp and mould it would help if you closed windows after opening them. But you opened a window to look at the deer outside and left it open.

Can just imagine how splendid this house must of looked in its day. I hope those paintings can be saved and preserved as well as the fire grates and surrounds. Thanks Alex Ned and Eddie Mercury brilliant explore as usual xxx

From reading into the history of this place, it closed in 2016 and was to be sold off, but looks like no buyer must have been found. From all the mould and decay in some areas of the building you would have thought it had been abandoned for much longer than 7 years. It is such a shame it is left like this, being such an old and beautiful building, and I hope it is not left to fester for much longer - being a listed building, it would cost a buyer a lot of money to renovate it the longer it is left abandoned. Would seem that the pictures of Henry Viii are indeed original and actually were owned by him, so yes, I'd imagine its not a great idea them being left there like that.

I think tiles would possibly be by a famous designer maybe de Morgan. The national trust needs to save this and bring it back as a tourist attraction.

Guys please invest in some hepa masks. It only takes a couple of spores to settle in your lungs. My dad worked on roofing spent his last days gasping for breath. His consultant said his contined exposure to mould caused his lung condition.

Such a shame when they carve these beautiful houses up and so sad they are left to decay like this! An awesome explore as always xx

It's such a shame a house that has survived so long is now left to Rot, it really upsets me, we should be taking care of such history!

It never sesess to astonis me the amount of historical properties that are left to decay. But when you have one like this that has clear links to our Royal history then it should be saved. Even if to save money they take down the new parts of the property. And those paintings definitely need to be saved it's criminal to leave them. Thanks for your never ending finds both big and small.

Hello Alex and gang!! Wow, what an incredible place. There was some wonderful old portraits. Of King Henry VIII and the others. The one thing I did not like was the fact whoever bought this place cut the rooms up to make more rooms. It was such a shame that they did that. Plus, they should of never removed the cross and Jesus from the church.But other than that I think this was a great video. Thanks Alex! 😊❤

WOW, Alex, Eddy and Neddy, you certainly take us to all the best places, that place was amazing, I noticed on the plate .that Edd picked up it had “ Sussex” on it, im an old Sussex girl myself, West Sussex. The tiles around some of the fireplaces were absolutely beautiful and the Tudor pictures were amazing, let’s hope this place stays under the radar and is eventually looked after and brought back to life, such a shame it’s just been left to rot. I’m being a bit of a “ knowall” now but the spiders are “ house spiders” and the females ( which are very likely to have been in the webs ) can be pretty aggressive and give a nasty nip, im both terrified of them and fascinated by them at the same time lol can’t wait to see where we’re going next week 👍💕🐾

That plague, on the leadlight window 1771. I wonder what and whom it stands for. Thanks for the Video. Great viewing.

The big old room at around 32.20 is downstairs. If Henry VIII had visited and stayed there, that room would have been added on for him as the bed he toured with was far too large heavy to set up in any upstairs room. I was hoping to see a room like that!

That place sure does have a lot of history 👍

The third picture over the fireplace was Henry VII. Appreciate you sharing these videos with us. What a shame so many old homes have been left to decay. I wonder if it's listed, and what grade listed it might be.

It’s seems like it would be easier to maintain if they scaled the place back to the original structure and removed all the moldy odd buildings. Make it less of a retrofitted hotel and back to a castle. This is what happens when the banks own the property.

Fantastic paintings, and building. Why were the paintings left there? They must be worth a small fortune as well as the historical value.
