They’re her children’s ancestors, one of the reasons I did my Ancestry DNA, watching this because I have Montagu s in my ancestry. Henry 11 one of my great grandfathers
THIS is absolutley my Cuppa Tea. Enjoying this while Toronto is in yet ANOTHER month total Lockdown. Oh, to be in England!!! What a beautiful home. Just WOW!!!! Thanks so much for sharing your enthusiasm for History with the rest of Us!!! 🇨🇦👑🇬🇧 and... yes, You look amazing too.. very pretty dress.
Julie, it’s very exciting to hear you now sound so knowledgeable of so much English history, major historical events, & the impact these events & time have had on your husband’s family & ancestors! Plus, your presentation style is very casual, friendly, & enjoyable!! I’m excited to have just recently discovered your channel! Best Wishes to you & your family regarding this channel & the future of your beautiful Manor home!!
You crack me up. All this ornate detail, painstakingly described and ended with a wonderful natural Julie statement: "It's a wrap!"....as always, Unexpectedly,she gave me a great laugh!!!
Other you tubers will film these mansions, Castles that are still standing it breaks my heart to see now and the places abandoned. I could not imagine what it would of been like during the World Wars to come back home and see the devastation the to tear down. Oh my goodness! Loving your videos and history of your family etc. Thanks for sharing
Stunning! It's amazing how much history, etc you've learned and we can see how much you really enjoy it! I love the architecture, pictures and history!
As a child I fell in love with tudor history and tudor architecture, thanks to a wonderful history teacher I had. Wonderful to see the non renovated parts of the house. The ceilings are simply breath taking.
Great episode i love love those ceilings how special are they ❤ So sad that lots of families lost their homes and England lost such historic buildings we can only be thankful for those that were saved ! Thanks for sharing ❤
Great video, and what amazes me the most is your ability to explain so many things of history and building without any notes, but still keeping great tempo and structure. Really great!
This was great- Henry VI is not Tudor unfortunately.... Henry VII begins the Tudor period in 1485 with the Battle of Bosworth. Also Elizabeth I can also be considered 'Tudor' since she is Henry VIII's daughter- so the Tudor period can technically be 1485-1603. These ceilings are so gorgeous and so thankful you shared! Looks like similar molding in the Great Chamber to the Chapel Royal at Hampton Court Palace.
What I love about this house is despite the early antiques, and important art works, the house isnt pretencious . Its comfortably adorned with well worn and well loved pieces. Much more homey than museums. Love it!
Julie is wonderful. Wasn't sure what I thought of this American girl who had "married into the British aristocracy" at first, but I have totally fallen in love with her now. I love her humanity and her perseverance.
When I saw the beautiful ceiling, it immediately reminded me of the one at Hampton Court! Didn't realise they are so rare, what a treasure you have there!
A wonderful to tour, ceiling r magnificent, those little secret hideouts make❤️ love it's history, u do excellent tutorial, can't wait 2c whole estate hi, thank you Julie👏🏼 Love the dress 👗
Hearing the history is so wonderful! Love it! I only wish your camera person would have slowed down and allowed us to really take in the ceiling and its details. The round paintings of the other house are so gorgeous and the story is so interesting.
I really enjoyed this. What a wonderful insight into the history of your home. I have subscribed, so I'm looking forward to learning more. And I think your dress is divine. Cheers from Adelaide. 😊
I think you are so delightful. Your an adorable couple as well. I do love the content you cover in all your vlogs. Just relax when you speak, don't be frazzled and nervous we all love you♡ your beautiful and very talented ... I cant imagine the amount of information you have inside and try to get it out in 30 minutes for youtube. You are teaching us so many wonderful facts thank you!
Love the architecture and hearing the history of your family. You provide a lovely and intricate description of British aristocracy. Thank you so much!
Fantastic tour! Being a bit of a horology amateur, I was very taken by that amazing clock on the wall behind you when you were standing between the Great Chamber and the stairway.
From a fellow American-Henry VI was not a Tudor. The Tudor era began with Henry VII in 1485, went through Henry VIII, Edward, Mary, and finished with Elizabeth’s death in 1603. It’s a lot and can be confusing! Love England and my visits to Tudor era houses!
Gorgeous. Simply stunning. Can you speak about the small hutch behind you at 10:37? I adore it. Again, thank you for sharing all of this with us. For every beautiful thing there, I'm guessing there are hours and days and weeks of work that you actually put in yourself. The work is amazing and the finished product/area is stunning.
Hello Julie, lovely to catch up with you. The spaces in the house and windows are gorgeous, so’s your dress and your interesting talk. I’m an artist originally from England, and am very keen to know more about the paintings. I love slow pans of them in close up, to see the quality of the work and how they are made, and the stories behind the portraits and artists. Thank you very much, your videos have been a wonderful distraction from the pandemic and a recent hurricane we had near Houston. Kind regards, Hazel.
One of my ancestral relatives Thomas Abel was executed at the tower of London by King Henry VIII ( a Tudor ). I always love seeing Tudor period items and architecture. Beautiful video.
What do these " lozingers" in the Montagu Crest look like up close, please? Looking forward to seeing them. Thank you for such wonderful enthusiasm, Julie, sharing all these great historic facts. You make history very enjoyable!💓 This is Joanne from Chicago. 🤗
@@AmericanViscountess You're welcome 🤗! I'm looking forward to seeing the Athelhampton episode in about 12 hours from now!!!! 😊! Thank you Julie so much and your team for filming this!
Im new to you channel I have really enjoyed watching Im an Illinois girl too! My family once lived in Sugar Grove and then to Aurora! Your story is amazing. Thank you
Fascinating video series. Was the Tudor ceiling painted? I understand that in the era, many were brightly coloured. Grand salon for the Lord= original " man cave"!?🤣 Thank you for this series. My great- grandparents left aristocratic life in the Cotswolds to move to Canada ( family disagreed with my gg marrying a Frenchwoman, a snobbish view in that era. Sounds like the Sandwich family was more open minded). As I trace my family tree, I found your channel- what a treat! One day, I shall come visit you and look forward to the tour. Cheers 💓
You are so lucky to live in such an amazing house with all that history. So amazing. I just think the imagination runs wild with all the people and events those walls have seen. Have you ever found any never before found treasures from the past?
Very interesting to see this Tudor architecture. Coming from Chicago did you ever see the Thorne room miniatures at the Art Institute of Chicago - they have a great Tudor miniature interior?
I understand your point bout Tudor houses the first thing you have to look at if you are looking for a Tudor house is it's ceiling It's beautiful and distinctive All carved up beautiful
Julie, I just found your videos. Can you tell me about the green clock on the wall outside of the great chamber. I think it is French. Thank you for the very interesting history of the house and your family. Loved your colorful dress!
This may be TOTALLY SHALLOW in the midst of everyone’s glorious response to the house…. But YOUR SHOES! i’ve seen you wear these fabulous red shoes in several episodes. Please tell us the brand and style so we can all get a pair and look like you! 😘
Very informative vlog about your home and English history. Was in England in 2019........would move there if the exchange rate was better for Canadian dollar. History is a passion.
I could be wrong. However, it is my understanding that a big factor in why so many grand homes went into despair is also because of material shortages. There was so much destruction because of the war. (Many were taken over for military/hospital usage. Therefore altered & damaged). Materials and supplies were not only very expensive but very hard to come by. That they were reserved & rationed for more important government types of structures. Owners of the great houses gave up and just either had them destroyed or abandoned them. Many of the people in the trades were also killed during the war so finding builders and craftsmen was also a huge issue.
As an English history lover, I enjoy your RUclips channel! I assume someone, by now, has told you that the first Earl of Sandwich was given his peerage by King Charles II, not King Edward II = )
"Otium cum dignitate" = "Leisure with dignity." After listening to your explanation, I can see why you would translate it as "after so many shipwrecks, finally a harbour," but I would go with "our leisure is been dignified by the amount of effort we had to put into earning it". The emphasis is, I think, more on the idea of being worthy of people's respect even when, at present, one is not actively involved in great state matters/wars because one has indeed already been in the past and quite successfully so. Hence the idea of "well-deserved leisure." Love your home, your dress and your shoes, BTW!
I recently made a comment about that ceiling and seeing some of them painted I didn't realize there were that few I'm sure I seen ceiling sort of like that maybe there is a difference that I'm not getting but it is beautiful
I love your house!! I love the history of Britain and the monarchy, however Henry VI was a Plantagenet. Henry Tudor was Henry VII who was coronated in 1485. You did get the Tudor date right!! With the coronation of Henry VII, this not only brought an end to the War of the Roses (aka Cousin's War), but also brought us the Tudor Rose which was both white (York rose color) and red (Lancaster rose color). Henry VII's wife was Elizabeth of York, daughter of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville. Henry VII and Elizabeth of York were Henry VIII's parents. Sorry, I am an American obsessed with the British monarchy :-)
Being an American descendent of the British Montagu family, this tour has been a gem for me. Thank you!
I am so proud of you as an American that you embrace and learn the history of your husband's ancestors.
They’re her children’s ancestors, one of the reasons I did my Ancestry DNA, watching this because I have Montagu s in my ancestry. Henry 11 one of my great grandfathers
@@rolo4945 oh gosh yes more impactful when u think of it like that
How wonderful to learn about the history of Mapperton and Hinchingbrooke. I loved Julie's dress as well :)
Thank you so much and hope to see you here again on Sunday!

She is a great example of people who married into the aristocracy and embrace their lifestyles and history with graceful passion!

Love this so much. When you spoke about your family motto it choked me up. The last year has indeed had many ship wrecks.

The Tudor ceilings are beautiful!!
Please continue talking! It’s amazing, thank you!
Wonderful tour! Love your enthusiasm and pride in your family’s amazing history. Love it!

Julie is wonderful. Wasn't sure what I thought of this American girl who had "married into the British aristocracy" at first, but I have totally fallen in love with her now. I love her humanity and her perseverance.
I love your dress! Blue with beautiful floral design. Awesome Tudor era. Ceilings! Wow!
Congratulations. Your enthusiasm and passion for your outstanding Castle is really catching.
Julie, it's living history!! Magical!!

Great Chambers now a days are called "Man Caves", and they're not nearly as elegant as this! Haha! Absolutely stunning!
Totally interesting! Thank you!
