There was some really beautiful camera work on this video. Thank you so much for posting. DA

Thank you. This was a lovely tour. DA

a video for wankers

Clandon is one of the reasons I left the NT. I’ve never heard them issue an apology for this appalling failure of stewardship. Shame on them.

They just can't be assed to do a proper job. What happened to the insurance money? Probably spent on some woke nonsense and salaries to these overpaid pen pushers.

Why be uncomfortable? It allows you the illusion you're not the same. The progressive mask is just that.

All made on the back of slavery

To all those who condemn this house due to slavery links: should we abandon the history in Africa due to its massive internal slave trade? Or the monuments and palaces of the Middle and Far East? Or perhaps the remaining Roman building scattered around Europe? Time to stop ALL the Cultural Marxist BS as it is MORE destructive than any fire towards our history and heritage!

Oh no this is really sad news, a lot of educated chatter spending lots of money doing very little, surely you would get a better financial return hiring craftsmen and women to bring it properly back to how it was one room at a time ..I can’t believe it’s taken ten years to come up with flowery excuses ! Also this would be a brilliant opportunity for education for people from all over the planet who want to learn about recreating dying crafts, such a wasted opportunity for dying trades.

I’m so happy I saw Clandon House and all the amazing plaster work in the hall, it was so very beautiful and ornate and so white like a beautifully iced cake! ❤️

I hope Nat Trust had insurance covering the cost of repair. This shows how many of the Great British historic treasures were created, adapted, and maintained by designers, tradespeople, and those with the power and financial ability to create them.

Gotta say, we all know 'they' will find a way to preserve the bed, because 'they' will get paid very well for a few years, to do so... that disaster was like winning the lottery and 'they' will milk it for all 'they' can.

So many much grander, older and more significant houses than Clandon have been either left to rot or been demolished as if they were nothing. Something like 5000 estated in the UK have gone under since the 1920's, most leaving little trace as if they had never existed, it is criminel and a great loss. I live in France where hundreds of incredible chateaux are left to rot, some fully furnished, so sad to see.

What a bunch of bullshit just to say you either can't afford to rebuild it, or don't want to.

OMG ❤😮

Wow❤

'......the Trust has since announced in 2022 its intention to restore only the Speaker's Parlour, the external walls, the roof and the windows and conserve the rest of the house in its ruined state while making it accessible to the public.' I think that's a very wise decision, considering the only reason it should be a monument of sorts is to the tradespeople that built it and the slaves that help the owners afford such ridiculous opulence.

Can modern builders even be found to carry out a full restoration? Modern Britain can't even rebuild what it once built.

You don't restore it because it's terribly expensive.

Get Dan the gardener over from France, he would take care of that with his buds in no time.

Let it go. There are lots of buildings that need conservation, This one is gone. The money would be better spent elsewhere in conserving what exists not recreating what no longer exists

Wonderful news! Our mother was born in Petworth in 1912 and emigrated to Canada at 6 months' age in early 1913.

What absolute load of nonsense. I have always had little respect for the National Trust, as they should have stepped in more and saved many of the great estates in the 50s and 60s. and did not. This shows the lack of imagination of the people that run the organistion to spout rubbish about effectively doing nothing by showing the bear skelton as if people should be impressed with scorched brickwork, pathetic.

Makes me weep.

Mad architects. The good thing is that these people won't be around for very long.

What an... underwhelming plan. This place was a national treasure, and rather than restore it they choose to make an exhibition of the tragedy and destruction that took place there, hoping to attract tourists so they can all come and... enjoy the ruins and be reminded of the horrible fire, generation after generation.

Restore it, or demolish it. These plans are a disgrace.

Or can’t be bothered to restore it properly although fully insured, there are many historic houses in such stages of disrepair. Yet again the National Trust cutting corners to save money

All of the many hundreds of ruins left standing already show their skeletal remains.

Where to begin!? What a task.

I'm looking forward to seeing the inside of those collapsed flues! If they could just take the tarp roof off, we will soon start to observe the raw beauty of nature as it starts to descend on the man-made structure. Wind-blown mosses, moulds and lichens enveloping themselves on the construction materials, retaining moisture and gradually eroding them to a more natural form. Trees and shrubs, seeded by the defecation of nesting crows & pigeons, developing in crevices - their roots fracturing materials apart and creating new opportunities for life to take hold. Rain trickling and dissolving the aggregates and forming new channels and stalactites over the decades. A feast for all the senses - the air filled with the dank smell of mould entwined with wet earth, lime plaster and carbon. It's wonderful! All this for less than £20 admission, but I think I''ll renew my annual membership so I can go back seasonally to see the destruction develop. The urban explorer

This house was gutted .. ahhh a big fire destroyed it

yeaaaa, we had these buildings stripped down to their walls after the anglo-american bombers destroyed all our heritage, our medival cities in Germany during WWII. Nobody cared then. Fortunately things have changed now. Good luck for the project! I love it.

Although I’m not a huge iris fan, that garden is spectacular. I must confess that I do have a few in my American garden. An expat watching in S Florida.

Sissinghurst is featured in one of my very old gardening books,I would love to visit there ❤

We were in the background at the beginning

This was a joy to watch. I love irises and roses and the planting combination was sublime. I hope, this year, to come and visit the garden. Thank you so much. Best wishes from Lottie in Suffolk.

So nice to see this video as I remember our isit to Sissinghurst Garden many years bacķ. I loved our day there but too far from me to visit but once seen never forgotten. Thank you for looking after all the wonderful gardens the National Trust have.❤

As soon as you mentioned 'the communities that made it' I knew it was doomed to a rewriting of history.

I do not like that kind of "approach".

This burned out shell is a perfect example of the failure of the British bureaucracy. It’s been half a decade and yet nothing has yet to be done except a steel armature preventing further decay. Nothing has been done. It’s just a bunch of concept art and nothing else. The British are doomed to collapse.

The National Trust is trying to justify doing nothing. Their carelessness destroyed it, and they could well afford to do more than they are. I could hardly bear to listen to this.

sound Arsenik regarde le Monde !!

Beautiful. I just love old things being looked after ❤

Happy pankake day

We won't see Clandon House restored in our lifetime. The insurance proceeds are dedicated to bureaucrats salaries & pet projects. ❤️🙏

Good grief! You can always rely on The National Trust to apply cliched outdated approaches. Do they think this makes them more relatable to a modern audience, or, do they think this 90s concept and architectural proposal makes them appear cutting edge?

Being a bore is OK. Being a racist and a fascist is disgusting.

He was good looking. So what ?
