propertytalk Live! - Ham House lets it slip as haunting backdrop for ‘Never Let Me Go’
Recent visitors to Ham House, Surrey were surprised to see overgrown gardens and a stark interior as a Hollywood makeover took shape.
The 17th century house and gardens were chosen from hundreds of potential locations to become 'Hailsham', the fictional boarding school in the soon to be released 'Never Let Me Go' starring Keira Knightley.
Formal lawns were left un-mown and weeds were 'planted' in the normally pristine turf. Inside the house, historic artefacts were removed and fluorescent lighting was brought in to create an 'institutional atmosphere'.
Gary Calland, property manager of Ham House & Garden, said: "It was incredible to see the place transformed into something shabby and run-down.
“Visitors were initially surprised by the transformation but we had plenty of staff on hand to explain what was going on and our Head Gardener Sandra King ensured that everything was returned to its pristine best as soon as filming had finished."
