Despite this, Sackville does not complain excessively.
The reason?
Every time his house appears on TV
or online,
its price increases in value.
Until now, the aristocrat has not revealed
how much the production of the film paid him
for its use, but he has indicated that it is a
large sum of money,
which influenced "100%" his decision to rent his house with more 700 years old.
"I did it because these types of properties are not financed with water," he told a tabloid.
However, Charles Stopford Sackville's business is nothing new.
According to numerous British media, there are some
nobles who make a living by offering
their castles for audiovisual projects.
For example,
Lord and Lady Edward Manners,
who have rented their house in Haddon Hall, Derbyshire on three occasions for
three different versions of Jayne Eyre.
In addition, its halls and some of its rooms, which date back to the 12th century, have been used for well-known films, such as
The Boleyn Sisters.
They are
"delighted"
that celebrities such as
Judi Dench, Liv Tyler and Kit Harrington
have walked the halls of their home.
But they feel even happier to have received
significant remuneration
for their participation in those films.
The couple
has not revealed how much they charge
per hour or day of filming.
Although he has dared to confess that the number
"contributes highly to the restoration of his property."
Something similar to what the aristocrat
Philip Sidney,
the owner of a 14th century palace, explains, where two other period films have been recorded.
"We are talking about considerable checks,"
said the owner of the well-known building in Kent, who was interviewed for a
Daily Mail report,
where a long list of nobles appears who
increase their fortune
thanks to the film industry.
Among them,
Lord Camoys - owner of an estate in Oxfordshire, where a
Bond
film was filmed
in 1987 and
A Christmas Carol
in 2019 - and
Richard FitzHerbert, who lives in the mansion where the series
Peak Practice
and another adaptation of Jane
were filmed.
BBC Eyre.
FitzHerbert also did not point out
the number of pounds
he has accumulated.
But he did confirm that, on occasion, he has been paid
1,500 for a day of recording
and that when it comes to a large production "that figure could
rise to double
. "

The War Below.
"This could be a business. Who knows? We could
be the next Downton Abbey,"
she told the newspaper.
