Castle Howard. Death comes to Pemberley.

Anna Maxwell Martin: "God, I think Jane Austen is amazing. Her female characters are so bright, so witty, and the men in Austen are all so sexy. She was a visionary - perhaps a virgin all her life but to be able to write about unrequited love and fulfilled love in the most extraordinary and heartfelt way is extraordinary and there isn't a dull word that comes out.

"They're always such alive females. And also, all those love stories - no man in Austen has ever fallen in love with a female heroine because she's pretty or beautiful or has long, blonde hair. They fall in love with them because of who they are, because of their vibrancy and their intelligence and if only we were teaching that a bit more in schools."  radiotimes/anna-maxwell-martin

Castle Howard On Film

Since the 1960s, Castle Howard has been used as a location for many film and television productions. The house, the beautiful grounds and wider estate are all ideal settings for costume dramas, feature films and documentaries. 

 

Death Comes To Pemberley (2013)
Adapted by Juliette Towhidi, the writer of Calendar Girls, the BBC filmed in various locations across Yorkshire. Starring Matthew Rhys and Anna Maxwell-Martin, the two week shoot in  July 2013 saw the interior of the house transformed into Pemberley with scenes filmed in the bedrooms and South Front rooms and Great Hall. The family feel of Castle Howard was ideally suited to portray Pemberley. Find out more.

Brideshead Revisited (2008)
Ecosse Films' production of Evelyn Waugh's novel, directed by Julian Jarrold (Becoming Jane) and produced by Robert Bernstein and Douglas Rae together with Kevin Loader. The film has been adapted for the screen by Andrew Davies (Bridget Jones Diary, Bleak House) and Jeremy Brock (The Last King of Scotland). With Ben Whishaw as Sebastian Flyte, Matthew Goode as Charles Ryder, Hayley Atwell as Julia Flyte, with Michael Gambon and Emma Thompson as Lord and Lady Marchmain. Find out more.

Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties (2006)Jon Arbuckle (Breckin Meyer) travels to the United Kingdom, and he brings his cat, Garfield (voiced by Bill Murray), along for the trip.

Great Estates (2000, 2001)
A series of hugely popular documentaries about Castle Howard and other estates in England, that provided a fascinating glimpse into all aspects of life at Castle Howard indoors, outdoors and behind the scenes.

A Year in the Life of Castle Howard (1996)
A six-part documentary about Castle Howard.  

The Buccaneers (1994)
A BBC production of Edith Wharton's novel of the 19th century encounter between English aristocracy and wealthy American heiresses.  Because of their "new money" background, four American girls have difficulty breaking into the upper-crust society of New York. Laura Testvalley, the governess of one of the girls, suggests a London season and thus the young women set sail for England and the unsuspecting English aristocracy.  

Twelfth Night (1978)A BBC production of one of Shakespeare's most popular comedies, and surprisingly the only time Castle Howard has been used for a Shakespeare play.

Brideshead Revisited (1981)

Granada TV's production of Evelyn Waugh's novel, starring Anthony Andrews, Jeremy Irons and Diana Quick, is recognised by many as one of the great costume dramas of all time. Although it is not certain that Waugh identified his Brideshead with Castle Howard, for many people the two buildings have come to epitomise a nostalgia for England before the Second World War. Find out more.

Barry Lyndon (1975)
Directed by Stanley Kubrick, based on the novel by William Thackeray.  Redmond Barry is a young, roguish Irishman who's determined, in any way, to make a life for himself as a wealthy nobleman.

The Spy With a Cold Nose (1966)

Sudbury Hall, interior Pride and prejudice 1995

Sudbury Hall is famed as the interior location of Pemberley in the 1995 production of Pride and Prejudice

Perhaps the most famous of all country house visits is Elizabeth Bennett's tour of Pemberley, during which she reevaluates her feelings for Mr. Darcy based on the finery of his home and earnestness of his portrait.

The housekeeper first leads Elizabeth and her aunt and uncle into a room with ornate plasterwork and large portraits. In the film, this room is referred to as "The Music Room," however Sudbury Hall calls it a saloon. This would have been the most important of the reception rooms at Sudbury Hall, although it was likely first used as a dining room.

 

 Pride and Prejudice- Staircase Hall

 

 The Long Gallery, 138 feet in length, is located on the first floor of Sudbury Hall [9]; this is quite unusual for the period, but follows the text of Pride and Prejudice as the housekeeper relays that "in the gallery upstairs you will see a fine, larger picture of [Mr. Darcy]". Having a garden-front Long Gallery on the first floor was decidedly an old-fashioned feature by the 17th century, but its display of family portraits was certainly grand enough to represent the family's identity as aristocracy. The original purpose of long galleries did not require any particular furnishings or decorations, and it wasn't until the Elizabethan period that the ample wall space and natural light were taken advantage of for the display of portraits. periodpiecesandportraiture

Luckington Court, Longbourn P&P 1995

 

 

One of the most brilliant filming locations ever, is Luckington Court in Wiltshire, used in the Colin Firth/Jennifer Ehle version of Pride and Prejudice from 1995.  Grand enough to be a gentleman's home, but small and cozy enough to make us believe that the owner was not very wealthy and so might have had trouble giving his 5 daughters enough of a marriage settlement to entice suitors.

The House

Luckington Court is a beautiful Queen Anne Grade 2* listed building with wonderful views onto the gardens from every room. luckingtoncourtevents

What I never realised is the location of this house. On my research on Google Earth I see this scenery around the house. It is much more rural then i expected.

The owner of Luckington Court, Mrs. Angela Horn, and how she was accommodated during the long shooting schedule.  She was able to use the kitchen, the housekeeper's room and the nursery (!!), which were set aside and redecorated for her.  She had lived in the house undisturbed for 40 years and was pleasantly surprised by the fact that she enjoyed a film crew of over 70 crawling over her property.  "I will miss the film crew.  They really were awfully nice.  They became like a family.  I cried at the thought of them leaving.  It was like a ghost town when they went but I cheer up by reminding myself that I now have enough money to re-roof the west wing."-Quoted from The Making of Pride and Prejudice, Penguin Books, BBC books janeaustenfilmclub

The Making of Pride and Prejudice reveals in compelling detail how Jane Austen's classic novel was transformed into the stunning television drama starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. It vividly brings to life every stage of production of this sumptuous series.

Wilton House

Wilton house has been used for the years for numerous period films including Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice

 

For two days, back in August 2004, Wilton House was taken over by cast and crew for filming.  The estate's suitably grand setting was not only used for the backdrop of Darcy's Library (where Darcy pays off Wickham) but his Drawing Room as well. wilton_house_pride_prejudice

 

Wilton House has won the UK’s top award for Restoration, given out each year by The Historic Houses Association and Sotheby’s. Wilton’s entry into the contest was for its beautifully restored dining room that used both traditional and modern methods of repairs, undertaken by many local craftsmen. wilton-house
