Tyntesfield House (A Victorian Gothic Marvel), Wraxall, North Somerset, England - February 2025

Tyntesfield is a Victorian Gothic Revival country house and estate near Wraxall, North Somerset, England. The house is named after the Tynte baronets, who had owned estates in the area from approximately 1500 onwards. This unique and fascinating mansion was formerly that of a 16th-century hunting lodge, which was used as a farmhouse until the early 19th century. In the 1830s a Georgian mansion was built on the site, which was bought by English businessman William Gibbs, whose huge fortune came from guano used as fertilizer. In the 1860s Gibbs had the house significantly expanded and remodelled; a chapel was added in the 1870s. The Gibbs family owned the house until the death of Richard Gibbs, 2nd Baron Wraxall in 2001. Tyntesfield was purchased by the National Trust in June 2002, after a fundraising campaign to prevent it being sold to private interests and ensure it would be open to the public. The house was opened to visitors for the first time just 10 weeks after the acquisition. This video also features the splendid Chapel modelled on the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris. The music for this video is Sonata in B : Allegro con brio for violin by the English composer, Frederick Delius. It is performed by Tasmin Little.
