From Badminton House to Loseley Park, Tatler provides a glimpse ...
Loseley Park is featured in a number of key scenes in The Gentlemen, including the scene where Eddie learns that he has inherited his father’s titles and estate, as well as the scenes in the Halstead Woods.
Loseley Park, it turns out, is another ‘star’ location, and a regular on the country house filming circuit, featuring in other big screen hits such as The Crown.
Loseley is a Tudor manor near Guildford, nestled in leafy home counties heartlands. The estate was acquired by the distant ancestors of the current owners, the More-Molyneux family in in the 16th century. The house was originally built for one Sir William More, but records of the property stretch all the way back to the Domesday book.
The house was built with stone from the dissolved Waverley Abbey. It actually had a smaller predecessor, which Elizabeth I once described as not ‘adequate’ for a royal visit, demanding a larger one be built. James I also once visited the house; meaning that two bedrooms have had royal visitors and are each now known as the King’s Room and the Queen’s room. The house also boasts a massive chalk fireplace designed by Hans Holbein.
