The amazing stunt was filmed to promote next month's Goodwood Festival of Speed at which the motorcycle pro will star.

A four-minute video of Lamkpin's jaw dropping stunts has proved a massive success on Internet site You Tube.

Lord March gave Lampin permission to free wheel through the historic house which is filled with antique china ornaments and paintings.

Goodwood spokeswoman Janet Bradley said: "The planning took about a week to ten days. Lord March had asked the Family previously if they were happy with Dougie riding in the house and they were fine about it

"Also the Curator was asked permission as she is responsible for all the paintings, furniture and carpets throughout the house so we needed her agreement especially.

"We used a helmetcam for Dougie so that we could get a 'Dougie's eye view' as he was travelling through the House which gave us some great images."

The Festival of Speed on the weekend of July 11 to 13 is expected to attract more than 150,000 motor racing enthusiasts.
