Living in Derbyshire I was able to visit Tissington Hall with my granddaughter .It has such a charm about it,more homely than the big houses like Chatsworth.They had a magical Narnia event at Christmas and it was amazing ,Sir Richard Fitzpatrick was totally involved in it.He is very good at making the public welcome and a most personable fine fellow..Definitely would recommend visiting this lovely home.🙋♀️
Lovely to read your comment about how charming Tissgton Hall is, and how personable Sir Richard is. I've seen the house, but haven't been lucky enough to meet him in person. I do know that his name is not Fitzpatrick though. He's a FitzHerbert.
My goodness ho learned Oliver Gerrish is on architecture and antiques as well as history! He covers s much and does it so well. Sir Richard is right at home and ne can feel that he would make you feel more comfortable as you would know he was not egotistical over any of all he owns. He realizes how hard it is to care for and how much care and forethought must be placed into it all. Really liked his personality and the little bi of sense of humor shown. This is a lovely Country home and enjoyed this tour so very much! So many rooms so that no one could say that they cannot figure out where they would place something? They certainly could figure out way before purchasing it.
I really enjoyed this; such a beautiful place. Seeing the love Sir Richard FitzHerbert has for this place was also refreshing and wonderful. I like seeing people holding onto good memories like he does. Peacefulness and Light ✨ Stay Frosty, Everyone ❄💙❄
What a lovely tour of a place most people from N. America will never see in person. House has evovled but it all looks just right. Enjoyed this casual peer into the past - this Host is informative and enthusiastic. Really enjoyed this. Cheers from Canada🇨🇦👑🇬🇧
I’m am speechless. I love the history of this manor house. My ancestor Thomas Flint lived in Derbyshire and I would love some day to visit the area and some of these homes.
Absolutely delightful and interesting video! I learned a lot about this particular English manor! The English countryside is one of my favorite places! Tissington Manor is a very beautiful and interesting place!
Beautiful house! Here in the United States, we have some old homes as well. Some are over twenty years old! All joking aside, I spent 2 years in Suffolk and I loved every minute of it.
Love the names. Fitts-Herbert and the posh Christian names all round, even friends names. Reminds me of being in the Guards again and my Officers Lording it over us in the typical manner. I'm not being derogatory, it's more a warm remembrance. I must say, he is doing a great job at keeping it the family, and it allows us to see how times have changed. I am so glad it has not been sold to some hotel chain and lost it's heritage.
I really enjoyed this video. What a beautiful House. The Dinning Room is wonderful and the the little sitting room in it is like nothing I have ever seen, very nice. I really enjoyed the Library, What a Beautiful room. That Staircase and the passageways to get to the other rooms is really unique and fun to see. Thank you for this enjoyable video, Jeff
Facinating!!!Great that the families who own their Country Houses can find a way to bring money in for us to see and enjoy💐💐Also an education for us in Architecture through the years.
Absolutely Fabulous ! Thank you. Wonderful Series and completely enlightening ! We learn something beautifully New with every video on these lovely Houses 👍❤
Even though Sir Richard FitzHerbert looked sometimes quite bored whilst you where talking Ha haaaa.... to me it was Very interesting to listen to Mr. Oliver, Yes, very well presented! Thank you much for sharing!
Such a beautiful manor with all his history. I love thé castels and gardens, they reflect the soul of a country. That s one of the reason I plan to visit a part of English country
What a lovely house. If I was lucky enough to afford a house like this I would be kept busy in it's maintenance. Just a rewire, or roof repairs would be a big job. Notice some rooms have storage heaters. Presume some kind of radiator heating in most of the rooms. Love cast iron radiators. The bills alone would be eye watering. I love old buildings and their history. Came across as down to earth and no matter what walk of life you come from are merely custodians in your lifestyle. You don't want to be the one who messes up and being forced to sell.
This American knows what an English country house is. I love the architecture of them, because one can see their evolution over time and usually they are built to high-quality standards. In the US, most things are very new, especially on the West Coast, where I live. My Victorian cottage is about as old as buildings get around here, except for a tiny number of Spanish adobe buildings. We don’t have many masonry buildings here in California, the earthquakes knock them down.
Superb house. Wonderfully presented video. I am so pleased the estate remains whole and with the family to this day. Granted I completly understand why so many houses have been sold off, given to the trust, and knocked down..... they are an enormous responsibility with never-ending costs and worry. Few have the resources and/or drive to remain or become custodians. Did I spot what appears to be fire damage? Perhaps some of the remodeling in the past was the direct result of a fire. Cheers!
There's an exact pair of those portraits of George III and Charlotte in the Mint Museum of Charlotte, North Carolina (I've always been fascinated by them). No one here in Charlotte are royalists so I wonder their history?
The pair was a gift to the Mint in 1970, but I’ve no idea of their provenance. The naming of the city after Queen Charlottes likely the only real link. There is a pair at Williamsburg, however, which is logical in the royal Governor’s Palace.
Lovely program, though it would have been only apt if someone had told Sir Richard about threads hanging off his sleeves... Oliver Gerrish looks pristine, thankfully... ;-)
Really enjoying your visits to Chillington, Tissington and Wentworth. You just need to sort the sound out please - particularly when your "subjects" are not facing the camera. Annoying not to be able to hear what they say.
Tissington Hall is magnificent and Sir Richard seems like such a nice man. My favorite room is the Arts & Crafts. What a great series, I look forward to seeing all the houses you featured in the introductory video, do you plan on releasing them soon, or are they posted on a different platform? I'm really looking forward to the "panther family" house, the history sounded so interesting! One improvement would be for your camera person to be directed to go back and take close up shots of some of the details and items that were being described to be edited in later.
A remake of this film without waving the camera all over the place would be easier to watch. Too much emphasis on the people striding around failing to ponder on the wealth of history. Waving arms and pointing to items we are unable to study does nothing for me, nor the view of the car park and grass. What a shame. All common mistakes repeated over again.
What a strange collection of comments from people with chips on their shoulders. Thank you for taking the responsibility of maintaining the beautiful property under good management, so it can function for further generations. I’m sure going to church once a year isn’t too much of an inconvenience, as it’s only next door.☺️
I was hoping they’d talk less and get on with the tour, yet the history is important i guess. It’s like following my grandmother to the village market in Nigeria as a little girl under the hot blazing harmattan sun as she literally greats and chats with every single passerby bearing in mind she waddles slowly along the road 🤣
Oh, better reframe that receipt for the chimney with acid-free mats. The mats now are turning brown and will ruin that receipt they are supposed to be protecting.
I was thinking the same; as marvelous as these houses are, they always remind me of the power and riches granted to a few, and the labor of the many. I am also struck by the irony that we peasants would never be able to enter those hallowed halls were the aristocracy as powerful as they once were. I suppose, really, things are not so very different today, for wealth tends to keep within families, etc. and there is power in wealth. I believe this is the reason Jesus Christ said that the LOVE of money was the root of all evil. This applies to every small time criminal to oil companies, etc. in America, as well. Now that I've ticked a number of folks off, it is lovely to see the craftsmanship, and I continue to be intrigued by history, for better or worse:)

Nice pad, sez this crass American! Yes, I admit fascination about historic English houses - and the amazing history of England itself, the little but mighty island. I guess it’s because I come from a relatively young country, we Americans having taken North America from the British back in the 1770’s!
Stunning property but 'Fat George' was called King George IV and not the III (his father) who mas known as 'Farmer George'! Come on guys even a Greek Anglophile knows that...
James 5:4 - The wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you., and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.
I am a huge fan of English country houses. Sir Richard was quietly entertaining with his sense of humor!
I really enjoyed this. The gentleman was refreshingly humble
Richard is a remarkable custodian of Tissington.
Beautiful
A lovely old building full of the sense of life. What a great job has been done.

Amazing that, there's so much history in one house...
What a beautiful house and home!
Thanks you for showing magnificent house!

And he is a lovely man.
Keep these coming please!! I'm obsessed with English country houses and manor houses.
That was brilliant and especially so having Sir Richard guide us. Many thanks indeed. Well done.
