What a treat! Dr. Emily Burns is a perfect example of that extremely rare combination of Beauty & Brains. Not only that, she makes everything interesting thanks to her charming nature. Lord Salisbury is also a perfect example of what a true nobleman should be.: charming, knowledgable, grand without being pretentious and extremely polite. I have seen many videos of stately homes presented by their owners and this one deserves a gold medal. Thank you to all involved in the production of this beautiful documentary!
In my late teens I lived round the corner from there. I spent many a pleasant afternoon walking in the gardens (with my girl friend). I never made it into the house. Now I'm past 70 and live on the other side of the world but I still remember those walks along the tree lined roads and by the lake.
Did you marry her eventually?
@@HermanLabuschagne No I blew it.
@@bobjackson4720 I'm very sorry to hear that. But then again, a lot of things work out for the good in the long run, even if in ways that we don't understand so well. Peace and happiness to you and yours.
Bob Jackson, what a beautiful memory.
Very beauiful Manor house and furniture very interesting my grand father's was a lord but his Manor burnt down now they are rebuilding iit
This is nice because he clearly forgets the camera is there and is interesting to listen to
This was such a treat. One thing I particularly enjoyed was the fact that the camera operator follows Lord Salisbury and Dr. Burns as they process from room to room. Often, video tours of grand manors cut the movement portion from the footage and so the viewer is deprived a sense of how the rooms are laid out. I loved following the presenters up the staircase, for example. Terrific video! Would love to see more of Hatfield.
I'm a HUGE history buff but when I think of the overwhelming luxury enjoyed by the past and present occupants of these houses, I can't reconcile it with my paycheque to paycheque reality. It all is unreal. The value of the wood alone would have fed thousands.
The house is an architectural treasure and museum, and Dr. Burns is a thinking man's woman. Both are superb.
Just can’t get enough of this... extraordinary beauty, wonderfully kept over the centuries. The historian is a marvel. Please please try to produce more content like this, perhaps the lesser important rooms - grateful for anything! We are culturally starved.
Lord Salisbury is a charming and interesting host. So obviously comfortable in the midst of such beauty and craftsmanship, he tells fantastic tales in this. They actually took the stained glass windows out and buried them to preserve them through the war. I enjoyed this so much.
My cat would've loved it here
EDIT: My God Dr Burns shines when she talks about the art she enjoys, what a fine woman👌
I had completely forgotten how amazing Hatfield House is. The great houses of Britain are one of the glories of architectural history and national treasures. Very informative interview with the very amiable Lord Salisbury not too formal and not too jokey which is always annoying.
I agree. Country house estates, the National Garden scheme, English Heritage and the National Trust are so wonderful and valuable. I worry about this radical activism gaining political traction and destroying these gorgeous 'living' historic artefacts in one way or another. They are a great vehicle for education, aside from all the glorious aesthetic ogling and cooing we all do :D.
@@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 what radical activism? I can’t imagine anyone wanting to harm these buildings, surely no matter your beliefs you can see that they’re practically works of art
@@patrickchoque7720 The Antifa-BLM Neo Marxists. All kids with double-barrelled surnames and/or wealthy educated parents LARPing the lives of angry little revolutionaries. Destroying anything they believe is connected to the sins of the past and thus, has no contemporary value and must be acted out upon and destroyed. They push their agenda a little more each time to see what they can get away with legally and socially, to see how powerful that Zeitgeist backdraft is. When the time is right, they go absolutely wild as we've seen with American mob violence over the past few years. Whatever the college kid activists do in the States, the kids around the rest of the West emulate. I worry about things escalating and there being no push back, no deterrents, no boundaries set by our legal and policing system. Too much is permitted and it will not end well.
I love how Lord Salisbury keeps debunking his family's history! It's funny yet lovely, and what a stunning home.
How absolutely wonderful and informative. The history of these historical houses is astounding ❤ Thank you for sharing with us ❤❤😊
Dr Burns is a natural. Someone give her a tv/youtube series!
This video is such a treasure! Both Lord Salisbury and Dr. Burns are so learned and such a pleasure to listen to and learn from. I watched this video twice. I was utterly engaged and enchanted with the tour. The library is a miracle and the house archives are pure gold. Thank you for this treat!
Very interesting! Have been to Hatfield House but it was about 30 years ago so had forgotten most of it. Good to see again.
Real treat to follow two intelligent people in a path to uncover the treasures of the past. Thank you. Loved Dr. Burns conviviality on Elizabethan portraits and lord Salisbury on the letter to trial Mary - remark about due process and all this trepidations to execute or not - gives you chills on so many levels.
Dr. Burns does a good job of explaining various aspects of the showcased pieces. She should do her own series, on the art collections, in various great houses. Maybe a link to more of her videos?
@Pokie Baron simply a great Idea!
That was weird, wild and pretty wonderful. What a great old guy. Some pedigree, huh? Best part was his dog coming for a pet. Once he got warmed up he could go on forever. Loved it all. Thanks
What an incredible place . Amazing lesson in history
Lord Salisbury Is so nice!
The portrait of Elizabeth, the 1st. is just beautiful.
History, Art, and Civilization...Thank you for enriching us by preserving and sharing all this beauty.
Just lovely! What a treat, thank you! I could smell the wood. We're pretty sure the W. Cecil had dealings with my ancestors, Lord Burghley being a step-in attorney and friend for my ancestor in their court hearing over their spats with the Greys. The judge ruled eye for an eye and set both the Grey and my ancestor free. A greatxxxx grandmother married a Cecil over in the states...strongly researching him lol. Have researched much of what Lord Salisbury speaks about and I was like a child listening to his stories and admiring the artifacts with my nose on the screen. Lord Salisbury and Dr. Burns should give a tour of Burghley House!!
2024 Update: William Cecil (Lord Burghley) appears to have been our family attorney at one point, and they now believe that our young Cecil colonial family attorney who married our xxxxxxGGM after our xxxxxxGGF died of old age, and had children, was indeed a distant descendant of Lord B himself! Also have updated research showing that not only were my ancestors old rivals of the noble Greys, they WERE also the noble Grey's on the material side, Lady Jane Grey's family!! So exciting!
What lovely accents these two have, especially Lord Salisbury, quintessentially English.
True treasure of Western civilization and so relieved it is all so perfectly preserved by his Lordship.
Richly delightful Tour with his Lordship.
I like how they were talking about changing artist attribution in regards to the ermine portrait. How crazy would it be to know that historians and art experts were researching something that is in your home and has been in your family for hundreds of years!
Lovely and fascinating. I loved my visit there several years ago. Thanks to all who made it possible for me to enjoy this from frozen North Dakota.
I used to live a few miles away, and went there for Medieval Banquets, which were such fabulous fun. I lived just up the road close to Elstree Studios, home of Star Wars, and Indiana Jones, to name but a few. I also met and chatted to Lord and Lady Salisbury, a lovely couple.
Amazing portrait of our late Queen 👸🏼👑🇬🇧
What a gift! This was wonderful. Lord Salisbury is a lovely old gentleman! He would be alot of fun to talk history with.

It was very kind of you to deign to give me opportunity to behold this Stupendous video. I gratitude your for this. Let is all Holy Ghosts and Angels and Gods will be exalt your Glorious Soul Forever and Ever!!!
Must get Dr Burns to do a 'run' through my place to verify the Bob Ross above the fireplace.
It is important to elaborate on the image of the serpent on the left arm of the Queen. The serpent is the ultimate symbol of the Goddess! The story of serpents being driven out of Ireland by St Patrick is a story relating the final diminishment of women in the ancient Celtic culture by the imposition of the patriarchal church of Rome. Elizabeth was a renowned scholar and could read in several languages...she would have been very aware of the symbology she chose! Little wonder then that the men of the RC church despised her...she was a Goddess in her own right and stood in her own power, as in this portrait.
Thank you so very much for this wonderful tour of Hatfield House...both informative and enchanting, thank you!
Thank you for the extra information 👍
Wow, what a house!
Spectacular guided tour. Such a special home with untold treasures. Thank you Lord Salisbury for opening the home to the world and I appreciate the expert analysis of the portraits by Dr. Burns. Quite fascinating. I got a kick out of the story behind the "Chinese Pleasure House" and how the ambassador instructed that the signs were upside down 41:45. Classic! And have to love the distinctly British joke at 17:12. A reference to 1300, Pope Boniface VIII who made it a rule that all people travelling to Rome should keep to the left perhaps?
Wow! So much history along with so much beauty! Simply amazing!
Charming old man @ Lord Salisbury. Very grandfatherly.
So, first, there's Hatfield House, just up the road from me....then there's Dr Emily 🙏
Speechless
Absolutely beautiful! So much history, a world treasure!
Thirty two years ago our Chinese visitors told us that the signs on the Chinese house were upside down. We mentioned to the staff but maybe they did not pass the message on !
My grandfather and grandmother both worked at the house my grandfather was in charge of the horses. I remember seeing his recipe notes for horse ailments. Charles Laybourn.
I loved this so much. Thank you..!!
wow, this house is amazing and well decorated, usually these places have a lot of furniture but not laid out so well
Just WOW!
What an incredibly beautiful building! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful piece of English history with us all. Definitely want to visit Hatfield in the near future.
Note to ALL videographers; when a image, item or location is being discussed SHOW THE IMAGE not the party speaking. It’s so annoying to not be able to view the details being discussed.
Bravo!! Well done!! Wonderful tour. So enjoyable and informative,
wow beautiful! thank you
Suchhhhhh a beautiful house good lord! So my style
Thank you for taking us through this amazing virtual tour, excellent to have the history information on hand which brings to life the reason why these things exist, it brings context to the imagery.
Oh, I'm in love!
I would love to spend a few hours with Lord Salisbury chatting about the history of this wonderful house.
Glad I stumbled in here. Thank you Lord Salisbury and Dr. Emily Burns. Such an interesting talk in an interesting house. When this virus has finished confining us all, I must visit.
Your place is amazing ! Wow. Very beautiful.
I visited more than 40 years ago, the memory still remains.
Me too for Medieval Banquets, and then met Lord and Lady Salisbury in 2010 when I was on The Antiques Roadshow being filmed there.
Dr Emily................yes!
I lived in England years ago by never saw this magnificent house. Lord Salisbury says he doesn't have much art and then we see this most famous of Elizabeth first's portraits. Dr. Burns is utterly charming and a real expert. Just the walnut in this home is worth a fortune.
Lord Salisbury is also a fine knowledge of history and art. I'd curate that library for free - many discoveries to be made there. The definition of priceless - The Dee scroll alone is a national treasure with few equals.
Many Ming dynasty and earlier pieces that are not even showpieces in this place. The whole history of England is reflected in this place from 1500-> present.
I am a direct descendant of Lord Bothwell (mothers side) and you have his wife's death warrant - thank you for showing us this fantastic home and we thank the old one that it survives.
One of my bucket list to see and so much artworks, I see Elizabeth of York and Henry the 7 below the ermine portrait. I’d love to meet lord Salisbury. Two of the most famous people and portraits
I met and spoke to him and his wife back in 2010. A charming couple.
I used to work there. A great job and really good perks. The curator was lovely and had a beautiful office.
We think politics are polarized now. Imagine the tension, resentment, suspicion, and strife, brought on by the Papal Bull of 1570. 7:23.
Interesting detail about the connection to Oliver Twist. Wonderful video!
Wonderful. Enjoyed this so much. Thank you.
Wat zou ik graag daar alleen eens willen lopen in dat prachtige kasteel .want ik hou van deze inrichtingen prachtig 👌
Thank you both I have watched 3 times.
Absolutely wonderful!!
It was charming. More, please!
used to visit Hatfield House alot from Howe Dell School with our headmistress Miss Matthews
Very nice and grand! Thanks! :)
A pleasure to watch!
I wish I had Lord Salisbury to show me around when I visited a few years ago. My son did a wonderful tour for me though and I remember many sculptures in the garden. Another visiting exhibition if I remember
Thanks...
Very beautiful works. Great art collections... I like it....
I ADORE READING
Wow!!!!
Luxury of great taste.
Beautiful tapestries and ceilings. Love antique furniture
lovely
gorgeus!
it's amazing how appropriately is Dr. Burns dressed for the occasion.
Fantastic piece and a wonderful presentation. Thank you from the USA. 🇺🇸🇬🇧🏴
So interesting. I do hope you do more tours
The tapestry is georgious.
Would love to see Hatfield House again.
I have a great time touring the Hatfield House with Lord Salisbury and Dr. Emily Burns, apart that Dr. Burns is so pretty, she also enlightend us the importance and significance of all the pieces presented to her by Lord Salisbury, particularly the portraits of Queen Elizabeth .❤🇵🇭
Wow.. i love this channel.. i just subscribed !!!! More videos please :-D
@00:32, I became a Lord Salisbury fan. #GentlemanBulldog
No, really, I'm in love!
Very interesting
Pretty Good watch🌷.
I wish I could hear the songs Dr. Burns begins to hum, as she walks around upstairs, and into various areas there.
A very interesting "skip through"! I love this genre of the casual tour that seems to have blossomed in the past year. Lovely old house, but terrible for secrecy since every footstep creaks.
hello from

i recognize the hall for The Favorite!
thank God for youtube in a democracy !
VIVE LA REVOLUTION DU MONDE!!!
Dr. Burns. I remember now
You've gone remote, hoping to go viral. You need to consult with the future Countess of Sandwich Julie she's great at presenting with top notch producers.
Astonishing! Why isn’t this house better known?
It’s one of the best known country houses in England, is one of England’s “treasure houses”, and has featured in dozens of movies and shows. It’s a very well known house.
That Library...................!
Thank you for the video, the rainbow portrait do we know when and how it came into the possession of Hatfield House?
thank you
Lord Burghley probably commissioned it considering he was Secretary of State under Elizabeth.
