The Rothschild family is a wealthy Ashkenazi Jewish family originally from Frankfurt that rose to prominence with Mayer Amschel Rothschild, a court factor to the German Landgraves of Hesse-Kassel in the Free City of Frankfurt, Holy Roman Empire, who established his banking business in the 1760s.
Built in the 1850s, this amazing 19th century Gothic mansion was used in the filming of Batman Begins in 2005. Failed development plans led to its vacated state.
Joining me on the explore were,

Hidden history with Ray
This stunning 19th century mansion was the filming location for the Christopher Nolan movie, Batman Begins.
It was used as Wayne Manor, Bruce Wayne's multi-million pound mansion, and all interior and exterior shots were filmed here.
It also housed artworks during World War Two, including the gold state coach of the Royal Family.
Yo guys, today,
hopefully,
we are scouting out a massive location, which is Wayne Manor.
Thanks, Ray.
Which is Wayne Manor from the Batman trilogy, the Chris Nolan trilogy, with Christian Bale.
So, it's not guaranteed this one, but
we are
holding our fingers crossed, because it will be epic this one. But joining us today,
Exploring Within,
and Hidden History with Ray.
Fungus, isn't it?
So, yeah, we've got a bit of a mission. I'm gonna stick to the bushes and the trees,
because we don't want to be spotted if there is anyone in the manor, so
incognito is the best way.
Are we all right, guys?
I think so. It's a lovely backyard at the moment.
It's nice, isn't it? Yeah, there's some rabbits. I wonder if Batman's cave was in the grounds.
Imagine that.
It's worth a look now you've said it.
Do you reckon he's got his
garage for his batmobile? Well, it was in the caves, wasn't it? Was it? I'm Batman. I'm Batman.
Here come the dodgy impressions.
Dubain.
You're a saint. You're a child of a dog, but I was born in a dog.
All right, so guys, there he is in the distance.
So we've got a little bit of a walk yet, but
yeah, I think this is going to be a no-go, but it's never guaranteed these places you walk up to.
So, yeah, we're hoping, guys.
There's deer over here.
He's gone.
There it is in the distance, guys.
It's a huge old building.
We're going to see how close we can get to it anyway.
Oh, I just went at all. So we're going to need to stick to the tree line.
Yeah, so what we're going to do is we're going to hug the tree line to the right,
hopefully approach the mansion like that.
Yeah, let's do this.
Me looking at it
is
it's definitely a little bit well kept.
That's a weird stone there, isn't it?
Oh, yeah, that's a bat cave, isn't it? But yeah, we've got some shrubs pruned there, so that's not brilliant.
If it was a walkway, that wouldn't be left like that either. Someone could trip on that. Hopefully Steve.
No, he missed it.
Well, guys, we've reached the driveway.
Yeah, should I fetch the Batmobile Masterway?
Blue Peter?
Ocean something. But yeah, look at this.
Look at the size of that. Sorry about the wind.
Houses, houses, and the size of this driveway. And the good thing is there's no cars.
Look at this.
Wow.
Do we stick to this main road or do we
I guess they've seen us.
Let's do it now, innit?
So I can see ball cameras on the left of this building.
There's ball cameras on the left. Yeah, I can see another one as well.
Yeah, so we need to stick to this side.
Well, Steve's just pointed out there's a old church up over this hill.
Yeah.
Yeah, well that red one. Oh, yeah, private keep out probably. You will be shot at.
Yep. Oh, well, too late for that. We're in.
Well, it's only trespass.
Oh, look at that and the fountain in front as well.
Yeah, so let's just check this out.
It's just like a brick pillar, right? Yeah.
It's a bit weird, isn't it?
That probably is it, mate. No, so these, yeah, these are old.
There's an old outhouse there that's
derelict as well, well, fallen down. That is derelict inside, look at it.
There it is, just through there. We're going to make our approach now, I think.
Wow. Oh, is that a sensor? Oh, did I walk past that?
F*** it.
That's right, well, I didn't know, but.
It's like an old 80s telephone, doesn't it? Yeah.
Do you know if it went off? No, I don't think it'd be a phone then, wouldn't it? Yeah.
What is it? Well, because there's another one over there, look. Yeah, so it'd be one of those.
A bit like it, um.
A bit like it, the. Bunker, yeah.
Well, anyway.
Ray's f***ing doing it.
That's something like you to go first, Ray. He always goes first, that's what the French do.
No one's in a rush.
Any cameras on this front? I can't see any yet.
Where?
Oh, yeah, well spotted.
What was that? Probably birds in there or an old gate. Yeah.
We're going to the right.
Yeah, but that's where the cameras are.
So we're going to try this way. So we go around that?
Yeah.
That's the back gate, I think.
I wonder if we could crawl through here.
No way.
What's this then, Steve? Oh, wow.
That's cool. Wow, look at this.
That's the whole walls caved in over there.
Yeah, so it would have been like a little.
It's just a self-contained thing, isn't it?
Unless it was a water feature or something, but.
Could have been actually, could have been. Yeah, because all these trees might not be here. No.
Car. Oh, yeah. Should we just try this set like that?
Yeah, right above us. Right above us. And then that way slightly.
Just looking right at us.
We're gonna have to squeeze though. It's gonna have to be a squeeze.
So this is where we've got into.
I'm, not sure if it leads anywhere yet, but.
Like Steve said, there he is. There was a camera above where we've just got in, so.
Smells a bit like a.
Bat cave. Yeah, there's lots of electronic equipment and stuff.
I'm just looking out for sensors and. Yeah, I'm just going to use the bubble over there.
Watch the wire in front of you, eh?
So we have still got a meter. I don't know if it's running still. Yeah, it is.
Seems the time's right as well. Of course, yeah.
Look at that. East wing main switch. Yeah. Main supply.
Yeah.
What's that on? Yeah, what's that on there?
That's just a power switch.
Is that not open? No. So yeah, that's where we're trying to get to. There's a light on.
Over there.
Yeah.
So nothing through there then.
No.
All right, so we're just going to get out again and try and find another way in.
What's this old cat doing?
That's weird, isn't it?
No cameras up this front bit, apart from that big ball camera up there.
In the circle just up there.
This is f****** huge, this place.
Look at it.
Where's Wade gone?
What? Do you slip as well? Nearly. It's well slippery, isn't it?
Wow, look at that for a grand entrance.
Yeah. Oh, is that locked? I just dropped it. It's locked.
That's the thing we never really think to do is actually check the front door.
Yeah, before we check all the other entrances. Look at this door.
Should we ring the bell? No, that's too old school.
No, I don't. That's some knockers, isn't it Steve? That's the right pair of knockers.
There's another door behind this which is shut. Oh, really?
I think it's the bat cave, lads. Yeah.
Oh, lads, there's a spoiled staircase that goes up. No way. Yeah. Yes, Wade.
Do you want me to go up there first to have a look or...
But yeah, look at this.
So this is...
This is an old part.
Yeah, there look.
We've got to close that back. We need to close it behind us.
Do we need to close it, Steve?
I think it would be quick.
No point, no point. Okay.
Right, Ray's going up first, which means he'll go... Oh, it's boarded up up there. Smells of a church, doesn't it?
Right, do you want me to go first, Ray? I'm happy to go first.
Do you want me to tell you if it's locked up? Just watch the fences, mate. Yeah, watch the fences, mate.
What? There's another room through there, failing everything else.
Have you seen the hole in the wall, Steve?
What?
Is it open?
No way. Oh my god.
Look, there's a camera on the wall over there. What is it? Straight ahead.
Pointing that out.
Oi, we're just... Look at those paintings.
No way. Oh my god.
Look at the size of that. Guys.
Is that Charles I, isn't it? Yeah, probably. The size of that.
Holy... Right. Oh, yeah, there it is. Yeah, what have we stumbled upon?
Batman's house. Batman's house. That's crazy.
What do you think? Yeah, it's something else. I'm already blown away. Look at the mirrors, man.
Let's just see if we can go any higher. Yeah.
What's that, Ray?
Right, here's another doorway.
I don't know if it's open, though.
It's locked. It's locked.
We have to cross the paint. So, yeah, look, that's where we just come up. There you go, Steve.
I think it's gold leaf or something. Because it looks very rough. Has it come on, or...?
Honestly, right. Wow, man. Look at that. I'm wondering if this is actually gold leaf.
But this is crazy. Already, this is the first room. Look, look at this old furniture we've got.
What, that door's locked?
Really?
So we're stuck. Yeah, so we're stuck in this room, this grand room.
Even if that's it, I mean...
Look at that bloody wardrobe, all that display case.
This is crazy. I can't get over this.
So there are cameras in here, as you can see above that doorway, but there I am.
What? Oh, it's another way.
Okay, Steve found another way.
But yeah, look at this elaborate painting. Look at that for a frame.
So they've got some serious money, these people.
And you've got this huge display case with that...
Look at the size of that panel, that glass panel.
And these...
Marble and gold
with velvet cushioned inlay.
They would have housed some really ornate jewelry, maybe.
Wow.
So apparently this is padlocked.
You all right?
So I've seen some fireplaces, Steve, but look at that.
That marble fireplace, look.
They don't make them like that anymore. They've got some serious money.
Yeah?
Oh, yeah, chandelier. All right, so what's through that door then? I'll have a little look quick.
Head back out, everything we can see in this bit.
Just don't want to get locked in. No, places like this though have like hidden passageways and...
Okay, so yeah, this is, as you can tell, the state of the place.
Very...
Well, this was what I was imagining all of it to be.
Like completely derelict like this, but...
As you can see, it's seen better days.
And that rug probably cost quite a bit as well, so...
Sensors all around.
And there is the view we get to add with these very ornate gate.
So yeah.
Size of that window panel.
Crazy.
Absolutely crazy.
Shut that behind me.
And let's...
I think the guy's going back out now to try and find another way in.
There's a hole in the wall though. Yeah, I did see that.
Did you want me to have a look through there? Yeah, it's too dusty to make that proper.
I'm gonna have a look because that might be the way through.
Well, just wait there and I'll let you know.
So I'm just gonna go through there to have a look, boys.
So yeah, let's just show you.
I'm now underneath
the house, so...
There's another hole at the end of the walkway. Sorry, crawl space.
So I'm going to check that out.
Please don't be a dead end.
Well, there's pipe.
Sort of pipes and cables, but...
Yeah, as you can see, no further way in.
So yeah.
Worth a look, guys. All right, let's get back out and see the guys.
So now we know that the cameras are working, but no one's came yet. Is it really?
Is he shitting you up?
There they are.
Oh, that's yeah, that's the big wooden panel.
Because that's the other room we could have been in. Yeah, above.
There's these gates.
Well, so I can walk this way round, or where the cars are. Just do it. Yeah, Ray's got the bolts to let you do it.
Do it, do it, do it.
Oh, there you go.
We come in peace.
Oh, wow.
Oh, Jesus.
That is unreal.
Well, that sensor doesn't work.
Well, that's the room we were in.
No? Yeah.
Let me see what Steve's on about. I can hear alarm.
It's like a solid alarm, like at one pitch.
Are you sure you haven't got tinnitus, Steve?
That is unreal. That's marble floor and everything in there. Probably can't. Look at...
Oh, my God.
Never say never, Ray. I mean, we've got in one bit so far.
Fine. This place just...
Yeah, one straight above us.
I wonder what's in there. I'm just going to show you guys because I can't see.
Oh, it just goes on and on. So that's the east wing. That was a bird. I'm sure it was.
Could be.
It's a bird.
What are you seeing, Ray?
Okay. Yeah, after you then, Mike.
I don't know how we're going to get down there. I ain't got my...
You better walk down there. Down there.
What? Is there no stairs there?
Is there any stairs?
Oh, okay. We'll walk around then.
It's a good day, isn't it?
Is there?
Yeah, we've walked around so many cameras now. No one's come. How long have we been here for now?
Yeah, about half hour.
Yeah.
I've got my snickers, so I'm all right.
Oh, sensor there. Yeah. Just, yeah, in the corner.
Is there? In the other corner. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So we just go take this path here.
Right. Shh. Shh. This doesn't lead to where we thought.
Right, keep your eyes down. Smash windows.
Someone's left their cart.
I mean, I could get through there. Do you want me to have a look? Yeah, I can do.
I'm going to make sure there's no one setting my car first.
Ah, too late now.
Fair play, Alex, for doing that. I mean, these...
There's a camera right in front of you as well, Alex. What? A camera right in front of you.
I did see that. I was going to say, but
we've, uh, spooked a lot of cameras.
Yeah, but we haven't done something silly like this. Look at that. That's high.
That's some, that's, that is someone whistling.
Yeah, it sounds like it.
I mean, I could do that. Oh, I'm not going to. Not now I've heard someone. It's a piece of piss. Yeah, but someone is over there.
I could easily show it.
That's a human.
It's a human? A human, not a dog.
There's a hole in the wall over there though, guys. Right into the building.
You need to get over quick.
Quickly. It's still, it's now or never, guys. You could even climb through the middle bit rather than going over the top.
Oh ----. What?
The guys have run off.
I'm just gonna have to sit here for a little bit.
Right, so guys just turned up. Ray and Steve are talking to him. And I'm hidden here.
Right, so I think the guy's getting on the golf cart. There he goes.
Now I presume he's going to go and scout out the area.
So this is probably my chance to break. So he's opened the gate, left it open.
So do I try now?
So there's the gate open just over there.
Let's make a break for it.
But yeah, this would have been the old courtyard.
Coast is clear.
Right, unfortunately guys, I've just had a phone call from Ray.
Guy is driving around and he's threatened to call the police on Ray and Steve. So
still, what an amazing building from what we did get to see. There is a small chance
we will come back to this one. But for the minute,
I'm just going to keep recording and I'm going to try and avoid the security.
I can hear him.
Yeah, he's just gone down there.
Okay, I'm gonna have to go past this sensor I think.
There's a sensor there. Look, they're everywhere.
Go out this way I think.
But yeah,
there it is. Wayne Manors.
He's locked the gate up now, so
the guys should be up there.
There they are through there.
That's Wayne and Steve just casually sat in the church.
Ey up.
Yeah. Did he see you? No, not at all. We got that gate, that blue gate right, I walked up to it to get you
and this guy just walked towards us. I've got to go from there. He was like, what are you doing here?
I'm going to call the police. I'm like, hey, we're just there like filming, documenting because it's about the building. He's like, no,
no, you've got to go and all that. So we had to go.
And then he was driving around. Yeah, I see him leave.
He left the gate unlocked and that's how I got out. Did you hear the alarm in the end? Yeah.
Yeah, I was saying. It got really loud as he came out. But then after I switched the phone to you, another vehicle come past here.
Did it? I thought, oh, you've just been caught. That's why I was saying you want to get from there to here.
That's why I did it quickly. Oh, he didn't hold in the wall.
Well, if I was us, keep all cameras away, face masks off,
get whatever, if we've been seen, get our coats off and start walking down the main road to the cars. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, so
we've got out alive.
We've got no police presence, so yeah, brilliant. That's all we could have wished for, really. And a place like that.
Yeah, could have sent Bain after us.
So, yeah, I really hope you enjoyed that video, guys. I know it was a short one and we could only do a little bit,
but it's something. So, yeah, if you did enjoy that, please leave us a like,
leave us a comment. I'll always return your comments
and consider subscribing if you haven't already and turning on that notification bell.
We will catch you in the next one, guys.
See ya.
