Cornfield Hall is an architectural gem from the 15th century located in Derbyshire. The grade II listed building is around ninety acres of park and woodland. However, it’s not. Just the beautiful exterior that makes Cornfield so special. Owner James Cartland, related to romance novelist Barbara Cartland, has been a collector for years, filling Cornfield with various collectables from across the globe and thought history. However, at over 60 years old, James is struggling to maintain the home. Can business woman, Ruth Watson, save Cornfield? Or will she and James butt heads?

Are you KIDDING!? A 1 b/r apartment in NYC and $2,100 - $2,400 in London is what it costs per month right now, for what James is paying to live in a mansion. He's paying less than $2,000 mo. to keep the place up - and complaining about it (!?) Migod, people get real, this is 2022 not 1902 - where else does he think he can live for that amount? I'm flabbergasted by the unreality of the VERY modest cost for running such a place, and everybody seems to be outraged at the amount. A most rude and disagreeable man - don't know why Ruth bothered with him.

No idea how old the following information is, but from the website: _Now James Cartland has moved on to Ashbourne (with all of his wonderful artifacts) and has handed over the serious responsibility of Carnfield Hall to Graham Oliver, an eminent and ground breaking orthopaedic vet. Graham lives with his partner Heidi and her dog Cuthbert, who is lovingly known as Custard by some. The next project is to restore the woodland which hasn’t been touched for over one hundred years. Three fishponds, one medieval and the others probably dating back to at least 1600 are totally silted up and full of undergrowth. Financial help will be needed. They are shown on the earliest plan of 1693 and the walks and trails on later plans. In May the bluebells stretch for a shimmering mile. It is hoped to be able to open this to the general public in the future._

James is not denying, he is frightened at the thought of his own Death and grieving the anticipated loss of his exquisite home. This show was many about 20 years ago I think (?). I hope James found peace and did leave some kind of documentation about his collections. I think James is a treasure.

@auraberglund5766 Год назад

Such harsh comments regarding this man ,maybe instead of being mean you would of done some research and read how he was robbed in his own home.That is very traumatic and surely very few of us could continue to live there .As far as what he does with his money or antiques that is up to him,worry more about your own business instead of others fortune.

@paulaharris4667 Год назад

@jennie9 Год назад

The following year, James sold the house to people who he thought would take good care of it. This surprised me at first but he mentioned robbery when showing the lock of hair to Ruth. If it was the armed robbery that others mentioned in the comments, maybe it made him feel unsafe living in the house and he started thinking about selling the place at that time. It would explain why he decided not to follow Ruth's advice after first showing enthusiasm. What was the point if he was thinking about leaving soon? He could leave all that work to the new owners.

It is sad that I could find no record if the house's amazing collection of treasures stayed with the house .

According to BBC News, 21 March 2012, there was an attempted robbery and Cartland had managed to "raise the alarm and the intruders fled, leaving some of his antiques in the garden." Re. its current ownership, from the house website: "Graham Oliver adored Carnfield from the moment he set eyes on it in 2010, and although [partner] Heidi took longer to persuade, James Cartland knew his home needed a female touch and the motivation of a man who shared his passion and love of the house. It soon became clear to James that this couple were ideal. Having also uncovered much of the history of Carnfield, James lured Graham and Heidi into his excitement of the hall, and in March of 2011, he sold the Hall to Graham Oliver." Who knows what happened between Mr. Cartland and his godson, given his somewhat mercurial temperament depicted in the episode. There are numerous articles about the house, its owners and activities, and its ghosts if one googles Carnfield Hall.

@starling86 Год назад

As someone who is bipolar, there is nothing in this *at all* that would help you come to this conclusion ("diagnosis"). Beyond a slightly querky man who changes his mind about things and is stuck in his ways. But that isn't what being neurodivergent, let alone manic-depressive, is all about.

@kefaad Год назад

As a maximalist and owning an eclectic collection (in far smaller scale cause I leave in an apartment) myself, totally understand his passion on preserving these exquisite interiors. Reception rooms are splendid but dusty, storage areas too cluttered and rather a hoarder's nest... I believe he changed his attitude towards Ruth cause he had already decided in his mind to sell this property (sold next year). A smaller house would be more manageable for a bachelor in his age.

Everytime the narrator uses the term “curiosities”, for James’s collections, I’m waiting to see a table with deformed human heads in in formaldehyde jars.

Classic hoarder

@christinaannabel Год назад

The gentleman refers to himself as a "collector" when a more appropriate description is that he is a hoarder with money, a passion for antiques, and a man in denial and unwilling to seek real psychiatric help for himself and practical help for his property. In practical terms, his money would have been better spent on therapy, minimizing his belongings with the help of a team, home improvements such as the structure, the internal systems (plumbing, heating, etc.), and cleaning and updating the rooms (kitchen, bathrooms, living, bedrooms). It would have been great if the gardens had been improved, as well. In any case, all of that 'stuff' can not fill a void within oneself, and, if one is in denial and unwilling to seek treatment, things are unlikely to change. Alas, his god-son will have an enormous, expensive undertaking on his hands.

What a rude man. This is one time when the house needs to go to someone who will do what it takes to keep it going, not behave like a pampered child. I would have left him sitting there with his rude manners.

James cant face his own mortality….so he clings to his possessions….he should sell off a lot of the items and he’d have money for bills…but he can’t escape the grim reaper forever
