The Secrets of Ham House | And What's so Strange about the Bath!

'The Secrets of Ham House | And What's so Strange about the Bath!'
About 10 miles from the centre of London is one of the most magnificent houses of Stuart England, Ham House. This lavish mansion is a treasure trove of 17th century art and architecture, a dazzling red-brick jewel on the muddy banks of the River Thames.
But Ham House also has a remarkable history of espionage and secrets. During the tumultuous years of the English Civil War, the Commonwealth and the Restoration, Ham House lay at the heart of political conflict. In this documentary, Alice Loxton discovers how the Murray family - friends of Charles I and led by a remarkable mother-daughter team of Catherine and Elizabeth Murray - survived this troublesome period.
Despite being fiercely loyal to the crown - even ferrying secret letters to the exiled Charles II - the Murray’s also maintained a friendship with the Cromwell family. It was an audacious act of bravery, resilience and espionage.

..stop having corrupted ideas across old houses with Alice!.. lol

I find her annoying.

[@petemessenger9514]

​@@bcaye A typical reaction when someone is above your social level..I actually find her very refreshing and a spot of lunch would not be out of the question...

[@lunchymunchy2984]

More Alice loxton best presenter... her fun style doesn’t disguise her passion for the topics but makes the videos so much more engaging and relatable

[@howardg396]

I love Alice's guided tours of these houses. Hopefully some day I 'll be able to visit Britain and see them first hand.

[@user-kc4rl6gt9t]

You must come to the UK and pop up to us here in Scotland, too.
We love our visitors! xx

Alice is a case. She's so enthusiastic and it comes across really endearingly.

Every History hit video with Alice, everybody is just in awe of her. RUclips loves Alice. I'm part of RUclips too ... She's the perfect combination of cute enthousiastic and sometimes just a little bit awkward all at once .. I'm all here for it. So awesome.

Another great video from History Hit. We can learn so much from these videos. Great presentation from Alice and superb production and editing. I never had that much interest in history until some years ago but as I've grown older I find myself more interested. This channel has ignited a flame for me to learn more. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thanks so much for the tour, Ham House is absolutely beautiful! Such a special 17th century home. Absolutely adore all of the gorgeous decorated closets within that house too (looked up some more pictures after the video), so definitely want to visit it all in person to see more.

I live in Richmond just down from Ham House I’ve been there many times and love all the history that I’ve grown up with all around me

[@njgrandma3519]

Thank-you! Makes me want to visit. I loved the little living details, especiallu the little child's bed in the kitchen.

[@CPZamka]

When walking down the enfilade, it reminded me of a scene in The Kings Speech. The scene takes place just before the famous Speech as the King is walking towards the broadcast room in and out of the rooms along the enfilade. Almost exactly as filmed with Alice walking through the rooms. It wouldn't surprise me if the movie was filmed there.
Thank you

Jolly good as ever! I was particularly taken with the tiling details, but cannot remember what they were. A doggy on a pineapple or something. The Bach cello music on the piano works well. I guess if you live in a house with an enpenade or whatever it's called, then you've REALLY arrived.. You'd have to decide when people can promenade up and down.. Nice one Alice! 🌟👍
