Owning an internationally important site such as Wentworth Woodhouse comes with significant responsibilities. These include a legal duty to conserve, repair and maintain the many structures on the site.
This video looks at some of the conservation and regeneration activities that have been undertaken since the Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust acquired the site in 2017.
We’re on an amazing journey to regenerate this historic place and to use it as a catalyst for positive change across the South Yorkshire region.

Yours is such an extraordinary and inspiring undertaking, thanks for doing this and for sharing the results of your efforts. Good luck for the future.
Outstanding work. Well done to all involved for helping to save this beautiful place.
All things allowing I will visit this summer. I can't wait. For decades I thought this house was beyond saving as it was such an enormous and expensive task.. It looks like I was wrong. Thank you for producing this video.
Well done, keep going
That was a lovely and very informative update – thank you! 👏
I’m so enjoying watching the progress on the restoration of a building I love. I was at college there in the 1970s so it was my home for 3 years.
