      I love it because it shows how utterly mediocre and unimpressive these 4th and 5th generation aristocrats are. Maybe the dynasty founder was a transformational guy. But just a few generations removed and all these aristocrats by birth seem average at best. Many seem below average. In the case of the Fulfords who were featured in another episode, they all seemed mentally challenged in a literal clinical sense.

    I Googled Pentillie Castle of Cornwall and a website popped up. I clicked on the video tour and there was owner Sammie Corydon, the daughter in the above video, handling the introduction like a pro. All the rooms & grounds looked fantastic, just absolutely & staggeringly stunning. They are in the wedding business, primarily, it appears, but there is also lots to see while walking the various outdoor paths, etc., throughout the property & even a pool as well. Beautiful destination in every way.

      The cooking school segment.... how identifiable to be scared of the house... I would be ! Possibly has to do with an innate sense of responsibility to take care of it all ?
      In complete contrast with the Pentille Castle part. Ruth and her team seemed not to recognize the manipulation of the lady of the house..... extremely emotionally upset on behalf of a local haberdashery woman ? Very unlikely isn't it. There is no way Ruth could have wun this one. The house will survive in the hope that the next generation will give it more respect. The science of colouring objects in landscapes, in the constant changes of sunlight and clouds and reflections of the sky, is developing to absolute beauties: the colors of the cranes in the harbour of Hamburg, the colouring of the high-voltage pylons, large storage buildings in the landscape. The idea of an unskilled family around the table choosing a colour from a sample.... shameful really for such a project!

    I'm fascinated to see these country houses make a business of themselves so that they can stay functioning and a member of the community. It's saddens me that the UK lost so many of them due to poor government management following world war II. Yes the aristocracy held too much power and wealth before the war, but that did not mean they should lose all the beautiful treasures that they built. Families were impoverished. Many of them died fighting the war. Houses were left to crumble or we're torn down. It was a very sad state of affairs. The national trust is absolutely needed to try to save these old homes. Although even they can be too restrictive on building maintenance. British aristocracy is not what it used to be. They have been rendered middle class, but the one thing they have is a value for the history of the families that came before them. Most of us low and middle class folks can't trace back more than our great grandfathers. We wish we knew more about our family history. That's why it's nice to see these families have hundreds of years of history to share. I wish them well.

    England seems to have so many old houses with roof structures that just seem to invite rot issues. It seems in every period they would build pitched roofs that sometimes die into each other forming a long gutter between them. I lived there for a year almost 50 years ago and I didn't see much snow in London. But I suppose they never get much snowfall or long term freezing weather anywhere even up north?
    I live in New England now and you just can't build that kind of roof - roof slope facing roof slope or even sloping into a higher wall - without having ice build-up and subsequent leakage. It might even be against codes here. The codes are largely designed for banks and the mortgages required to have a house at all. There are ways to water proof such slopes and walls but they didn't use them back when. And I heard from a fellow student I knew about continuous problems with atmospheric damp and even rising damp as was the case in both apartments we occupied that year.
    I remember one story from that student. His grandfather had moved into a roofed trench in the backyard of their row house on the east side of London during WWII. His wife and children moved out of town but he stayed behind to watch over things during the blitz. The house sat unheated for a few years. When they could move back and began to heat the place again his wife contracted pneumonia and died because the damp took months to dry out. The dampness just makes cold feel even colder. But still the house survived in spite of the fact that many teeth were missing in the row even as late as the early 70s. the student told me the east side was bombed the most because that was the area of heavy industry.
    It's no wonder so many of the old places fall apart so quickly if neglected. Most houses in New England are stick built and won't last long if abandoned. Those walls in the cottages, townhouses, great houses and stately homes at least have heavy masonry walls to rehab even if the plaster is falling off and the timber may be rotting. But they have to dry them out first. Louisiana plantation mansions also seem to have had, and still have problems with rising damp. They can't keep the wallpaper on the bottom two or three feet of the first floor rooms of Shadows on the Teche.
