LEGO Ideas: Downton Abbey: Highclere Castle

''Nothing is so changeable as a young man's heart. Take from it hope and warning.'' - Mrs. Patmore of Downton Abbey



Main model

The set shows the old Highclere Castle; known from the British historical drama series Downton Abbey! Next year this series celebrates its 15th anniversary!

Highclere Castle is a magnificent and majestic architectural monument in itself. However, it is also adorned with the interior and the picturesque rooms. I have tried to portray them in the spirit of the TV series, i.e. the period, so that the design imitates the 1920s.
The model includes a main entrance with corridor, 5 main rooms and 6 smaller rooms. Since not all rooms are shown in the series, 5 of these smaller rooms can be designed by each builder according to his own imagination.

Rooms are full of details and accessories. I make them more accessible to play/display the minifigures and recreate individual scenes. You can find a variety of equipment designs here, such as different types of chairs, tables, lamps, clocks, etc.

List of all rooms

Main rooms:

  • Lady Mary's room
  • Dining room
  • Guest room
  • Servants' room
  • Kitchen
Rooms in the towers:
  • Carson's office
  • Five smaller empty rooms

Minifigures are also included. There are 15 unique minifigures! However, each one has its justification and they are all very important to the story.

List of all minifigures

Crawley family:
  • Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham
  • Robert Crawley, 7th Earl of Grantham
  • Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham
  • Lady Mary Crawley, eldest daughter of Lord Grantham and Lady Grantham
  • Lady Edith Crawley, second daughter of Lord Grantham and Lady Grantham
  • Isobel Crawley, mother of Matthew Crawley
  • Matthew Crawley, third cousin of Robert Crawley
  • Tom Branson, husband of Lady Sybil

Downton Abbey servants:
  • Charles Carson, the butler
  • Elsie Hughes, the head housekeeper
  • John Bates, Robert Crawley's servant
  • Anna Smith, the head housekeeper
  • Thomas Barrow, 1st Footman
  • Beryl Patmore, the chef
  • Daisy Robinson, Assistant Chef

Little bonus

Part of the set is also Lady Mary's bench! This little bonus represents the place where many iconic couples met. There were many romantic scenes and beautiful deep conversations. I wanted to breathe the spirit of the place into the model, so I chose a heart-shaped plate and decorative bench handles.

If you like the series like me, or are a fan of British architecture and fashion of the last century, don't hesitate to support the model with your vote! The fate of Downton Abbey is in your hands!
