Uppark House & Harting Down Views - Drone Footage
The house, set high on the South Downs, was built for Ford Grey (1655—1701), the first Earl of Tankerville, circa 1690, the architect is believed to have been William Talman. The estate was sold in 1747 to Sir Matthew Fetherstonhaugh and his wife Sarah. Matthew and Sarah redecorated the house extensively from 1750 to 1760 and introduced most of the existing collection of household items displayed today, much of it collected on their Grand Tour of 1749 to 1751. Their only son, Sir Harry Fetherstonhaugh, added to the collection and commissioned Humphry Repton to add a new pillared portico, dairy and landscaped garden. In the 19th century stables and kitchens were added as separate buildings, connected to the main building by tunnels.
On 30 August 1989 the building was devastated by a fire caused by a workman's blowtorch whilst repairing lead flashing on the roof, just two days before the work was due to be completed. The fire broke out during opening hours. Many works of art and pieces of furniture were carried out of the burning building by members of the Meade-Fetherstonehaugh family, National Trust staff and members of the public. Although the garret and first floors collapsed onto the lower floors and the garret and first floor contents were lost completely, the floors largely fell clear of the ground floor walls and much of the panelling and decoration survived. Much of the contents of the ground floor was crushed but not burned; metalwork was able to be straightened and cleaned, crystal chandeliers were able to be reassembled, and even the elaborate tassels on the chandelier ropes were able to be conserved. The decision to restore the house came after it was determined that restoration would be a cheaper insurance settlement than complete payout for a total loss.
Most of the pictures and furniture in the house were saved. The building has since been completely restored with many lost crafts relearned in the restoration process, and it re-opened its doors in 1995.

Wolfeton House 'under threat from a housing estate'
An Elizabethan manor that inspired Thomas Hardy's novel 'The Mayor of Casterbridge' is under threat from plans to build a housing estate in the field next door.Campaigners say the controversial plans for 120 homes would 'damage the environs' of 16th century Wolfeton House near Dorchester, Dorset.It was owned by the Trenchard family whose name provided the inspiration for the main character in Hardy's 1886 book 'The Mayor of Casterbridge'.The current owner, retired army officer, Captain Nigel Thimbleby, is a direct relative of the Trenchards and not prepared to let the plans go through without a fight.He said: 'I have absolutely no doubt he would be appalled at what is going on.' Despite huge opposition to the proposals, West Dorset District Council has recommended they be approved, with the final decision to take place at a committee meeting in three weeks.Captain Thimbleby, 82, added: 'The parish council had voted unanimously against this development and we all thought it was unlikely to proceed.'It was only recently that we realised we were being taken for a ride.'We have got three weeks to sharpen our pencils and do battle and oppose these plans with vigour.'Thomas Hardy was very committed to the Dorset countryside and he was a great walker.'He used to walk to the house from his house just the other side of Dorchester and I have absolutely no doubt that he would be appalled at what is going on.' His wife Katharine added: 'There is no infrastructure in the village for this size of a development.'There is far too much traffic here already.You walk through the village at your peril.'There are no available spaces in the village school.Where are these new children going to go to school?' Developers want to build the homes on land just 200 yards away from Wolfeton House, just south of the village of Charminster.The estate would include 42 affordable homes and a play area.It would be the first time in 400 years the surrounding landscape changes.Captain Thimbleby's relatives the Trenchards were the inspiration for the Henchard family –the central characters of the Mayor of Casterbridge.Hardy's novel tells the tale of Michael Henchard, his wife Susan and baby daughter Elizabeth-Jane, who travel far and wide in the hope of bagging Michael a job.On their journey he gets drunk and jokingly agrees to sell his wife and daughter to a sailor for five guineas.After he realises what he has done, he searches the town but to no avail.When the sailor dies 18 years later, Susan and Elizabeth-Jane try to find Michael and find he is the Mayor of a town called Casterbridge.The long-lost lovers meet and decide to spare their daughter the shame of what happened and agree to pretend they have only just met.Wolfeton House also featured in the seventh of his short story collection A Group of Noble Dames.It was the home of The Lady Penelope, a character based on Lady Penelope D'Arcy, the wife of Wolfeton House owner George Trenchard.Tony Fincham, of the Hardy Society, said
