my trip to a gothic country house | brief history of Tyntesfield & my writing 🖊 🌿

A chill tour of the Victorian gothic country house, Tyntesfield, in the UK. I explain some of the history of the house as well as my own reasonings for going the house including my own writings and novel.
This has to be one of my favourite National Trust properties in the UK, and as I say in the video it looks quite different to most houses. I think next I want to go to Knightshayes in Devon cause that looks similar and very moody (even the name! Jeepers, sounds like it’s from a gothic mystery novel or something).
Also as I said this house inspired by own ‘Highbrook’ from my novel “Maude Edevane” that I mostly finished editing in 2022 spring (more like gave up). So you may not have heard about that book since I finished draft one in like summer 2021 I think.

Your video is the best of all theTyntesfield videos because of the far away pics that look like paintings. The town I live in is called Conshohocken Pa, USA, and we have a house here that’s very similar called “Woodmont”. They too were Anglo-Catholics. Woodmont is French gothic too, and has all the spires and lightning rods that seen to accentuate the everything g they are fastened to. The house was always lived in and taken very good care of, even till today it’s now a working farm.
You also keep it simple by not taking it to seriously with detailed facts. The chapel is magnificent. Check out the chapel at Clumber Park in the UK. The house is gone, but the chapel is a parish church on the Estate. It is also Anglo-Catholic. The deal is, there was a Movement at Oxford College to revive into the C of E a get back to basics and revive the page try of the early Roman Church of England. Not rejoin Rome, but just revive the splendor and reverential liturgy from before the Reformation. Henry VIII wasn’t against the liturgy (as he recieved Holy Communion every morning until his death). He didn’t like the indulgence’s put upon the poor, and the cost of visiting “shrines”. Perhaps it took away from his coffers and was envious. The divorce thing was ridiculous because he was King, and already had the power to absolve Himself. England to this day still sees itself as on its own. Brexit, which I favor, is liken to leaving the Roman Church and it’s maniacal control. The Roman was the EU of its Day. The Pope wore a three crowned Tiara….which was a Crown for Christ on Earth, a Crown for King of Kings of Europe and England, and Crown of the Church. Talk about the “razzle dazzle” of Authority and haven’t an Army to boat. That’s an incredible scam show, and Henry knew this and wasn’t fooled. England did the right thing then too.
Anglo Catholic Churches are usually alway gothic, and beautifully appointed. The Queen Mother was an Anglo-Catholic. Her London parish was on Margaret Street,,,,,,All Saints maybe(?)
Today unfortunately, many churches have closed, or are holding on and doing whatever the can to attract followers…like the supercilious woke nonsense, or painting the front steps with the God Awful rage. ….this too shall pass, and house like Tyntesfield and Woodmont will go on and entertain millions of gusts for centuries to come.
You might superimpose your Book cover onto the video so one can take a snap pic and purchase it in future.
All best wishes,
