    I want to congratulate their family for getting it back. The dedication to have their family estate returned to them must have been hard but very rewarding if you look at their kids. Stories like this are good. You can make another series from it. Historical building and Estates getting returned to their original family. I hope there's more of them out there.

    As an American. I am always intrigued by the admiration for all things Queen Victoria in the U.K. Why do you think in 2022 she still fascinates the world? Is it because she was the one who ties our modern world to the past? I'd be interested it what others think.
    Thanks

    @Nightbird1914 2 года назад +9

    Delightful episode had me smiling throughout! Sad though to think Princess Victoria had to sleep in the cold part. What mother wouldn’t snuggle with her daughter to keep her warm. I can’t imagine. I read a lot of historical fiction and am familiar with priest holes. The cold plunge was the icing on the cake! What a warm welcoming family!

    On history hit channel Dan Snow introduced a replica of a 18 the century naval cannon he fired it at a target it was very impressive. The type of cannon that would be used on the perimeter walls of a castle to protect it like the cannon known as Humpty Dumpty the firing range for this experiment in naval arms was in Dorset which I think is near Mapperton. So hope you like this bit of information Julie

    Really love the content that you are putting out, these homes are much more than brick, stone, wood, lime mortar and lath and plaster. They are part of our national psychy. Our forebears would have relied on these Manor homes for everything, prior to the industrial revolution a lot of our families would have been either living as owners, living and working in them, as craftsman working to make sure they stayed as a symbol of that owners wealth or working in the surrounding areas as farmers or farm labourers on the lord of the Manors Farms.

That plunge pool looks absolutely fantastic. (In an aside, have discovered that being cold helps to get my asthma attacks under control, as well as help with allergy-induced systemic inflammation. Long story short, I love being cold, it's my favorite sensation.)
