The Countess of Sandwich is brilliant !!! What an amazing memory. She is such a font of knowledge. I'd volunteer to dust or vacuum if she'd just sit in the room and talk. I could listen to her all day! What a wonderful mother in law you have 💖
I’m just gonna do you know know know
@@ashleyfoster6020 absolutely NO idea what you're trying to communicate ...
I love listening to the Countess’ stories! Her knowledge of history and the names of the furniture is just brilliant!
My goodness, I truly hope she writes all this down! This is the history of the home, the families, the art, even furniture and these memories are the things that are truly valuable. You don't want to lose that knowledge!
… that’s what these videos are for.
Awe we need more content from mamma Mapperton 🥰
She is delightful.
Her history and knowledge of the house what an amazing gift u get to share. X
Watch this space, plenty more coming from the Countess of Sandwich over the next few months, and over on www.patreon.com/mappertonlive
I hope this doesn’t come across wrong Sharene, but “awe” with an “e” is used when looking at something with wonderment. “Aw” is used to express mild disappointment, gentle entreaty, or real or mock sympathy or sentiment.
@@iLitAfuseiCantStop Glad you said it. I'm definitely a grammar Nazi.
One can listen to the Countess speak for years.
We certainly can!
Yes!! She's hilarious too! Scooping up the French furniture after the aristocracy were guillotined, lol!
I can’t even begin to understand the magnitude of responsibility that estate/manor requires. The place looks wonderful. All of you are doing a fabulous job. I complain having to clean my flat. 😂
I hear you, and we don't have to be careful not to ruin 400 year old tapestries or paintings!!!
What a wonderful legacy. The Countess has such a wealth of knowledge. I love her sense of humor. Representing Virginia and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Cannot wait to see more.
Watching from our semi truck in the USA. We travel all the USA and deliver what ever needed and I love watching your house and your family. God Bless You All. The picture is my daughter we are Mark and Robin DiBerardino
I first saw your Mother-In-Law and Father-In-Law when you, Julie, were in Ladies of London and I thought 💭 they were just magnificent and just so so lovely!! You’re such a blessed lady to have such lovely ln-Laws!! Thank you for showing us your home!! Kristy from Atlanta, Ga 💗💗
Thank you for your comment and kind words Kristy 😂
I love your mother in law - she is so knowledgeable - so interesting
What a beautiful home and property. I loved hearing about the history of the home and its furnishings as well as the people who've lived in it - past and present. Fascinating!
Thank you mslaceyrose 😊
I'm watching these one year later. Thank you for sharing your home with the world! Hello from Seattle!
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely amazing how the Countess can engage us effortlessly sharing her personal stories and Mapperton history.
I am watching from Poland. I absolutely love these tours and am so impressed with your mother-in-law's knowledge. I’m completely invested in watching all the episodes now. I would love to visit one day.
I agree with less phone. Lol. I LOVE the china displays in the bedrooms, I've never seen that before!
Hello from Canada again! Im so enjoying these videos. My daughter lived in London the last 7 years, so I have travelled to the UK many times... I love the history of Britain, especially as Canada is part of the British Commonwealth and very part of it! Thank You for these, gorgeous estate.
Thank you for your kind words Theresa, we're glad you're enjoying the tours.
Hello from South Carolina! My husband and I absolutely love watching the tours of Mapperton! The Countess is absolutely a joy to watch! We love her sense of humor and painful honesty! Sending love to all of you! Todd and Mark
Gorgeous video!!! I have a mirror and 2 sconces and a desk which came out of my family's colonial Manor house on Long Island New York. I have several items but not the house. My home was built in 1971 but the contents are old and it's decorated in Manor house style. I absolutely love your videos, what you do to save our shared heritage means so very much to people like me. Deeply grateful for the work that your family does! It's our British heritage! Much love.
Please reconsider the continual interaction with the cell phone. Multitasking rarely works well for anyone. Thank you. Fascinating video and many thanks to the Countess for sharing her wealth of knowledge
I just love the Countess Of Sandwich. She’s so knowledgeable, warm & friendly.
Julie you really married into a lovely family. They are lucky to have you too.
I love the sunny windows and the ceiling! The Tudor frieze is so pretty.
Your mother-in-law is completely wonderful. I miss "The Ladies of London".
Thank you for your kind words!
You guys are GREAT.....love all the history! Sharon from Clermont, Florida
Hello from Canada! I can’t tell you how much I love these videos, thank you so much for sharing your life and home! ❤️
How wonderful for you and your family to allow us this delightful opportunity to virtually tour the home.It means so much for us accross the pond! Bren of The Golden Isles of Georgia USA
Absolutely love the tours with different family members. I am learning so much! Also love the little comments about the double pane glass, made me laugh and you handled it very well Julie. My in-laws have made comments on the adjustments to the family home we have made. Anyway made me chuckle, because I can relate.
Love that you and your mother-in-law spoke together and with such mutual respect. Very interesting information too. Wonderful!
This was absolutely marvelous! Hello from Katy, Houston Texas USA
What a beautiful bedroom ceiling!
Oh I think of dusting ceiling 🙃
Stunning! I love the canopy beds and French furniture! Thank you Caroline for your amazing memory of all the history 💖! I can hardly remember what I did yesterday and you remember all of this! I could listen to you for hours! Thank you Julie and Luke!!!!
Oh my goodness, the wisteria is so beautiful and the gardens are exquisite! I would love to see the other out-buildings; the conservatory, the church, etc.🌟
Hello from Southern Indiana, thank you for sharing your beautiful home.
Hy Julie, I have seen most of your videos all quite interesting to watch and each one very well described by yourself. This one, "to not escape the rule" (as we say over here in such special cases), is beautifully shown and described by your lovely mother-in-law. This is the third time I watch this video (I did twice before the one you showed alone this wonderful bedroom). You know, what I most appreciate in this bedroom, besides the gorgeous ceiling (XVI/XVII centuries I believe), also the unique Persion rugs and all precious pieces of furniture, are the great paintings on the walls (I have quite some in my home, a few painted by a cousin of mine, he was a renown painter and sold many paintings to the U.S. - he even painted me when I was about seven or eight years old - others bought and a few painted by my husband who used to paint, something I also did for many years, most of mine shown in some Exibitions) and OF COURSE... last but not least... that extraordinary Chest-on-chest or Tall-boy of which I was agreably surprised when I saw it because I have one exactly, english naturally bought in an Antique shop many decades ago, in my bedroom only mine is a taller, it's about the hight of your father-in-law, I noted this detail when in one of these videos he was next to it explaining something to you.
Julie, if I was a bit younger and felt better of health I would fly to England especially to meet you personally and visit your wonderful Castle, but also to see again wonderful american friends of mine with three children I left there - one of these was a darling couple, the husband was an american film producer - unfortunately his wife is not with us anymore.
Julie, excuse the long coment but I have been to do this for many months now. Keep with all the immense and useful work you to benifit Mapperton Mansion and I wish all the best to you and your adorable familly.
thank you so much Maria. What a lovely comment to read! xx Julie
@@MappertonLive Thank you Julie for your kind response, but I/we your viwers are the ones to thank you immensely for such extraordinary work you have done through the years to restoree that wonderful Castle fitly called "Britain's Finest Manor" which it really is.
Julie, I did not forget having told you sometime ago wanting to donate to your cause, so just wait a little and it will be done.
I came across your channel by chance and am loving the tour of Mapperton house and the commentary. You are a fantastic presenterJulie, and I hope you have great success with the channel. Cheers from Perth, Australia.
Thank you Kath! We will be bringing you more live tours very soon...
Cherish and enjoy that lady! I lost my mother in law after only 9 years. I miss her everyday! My husband's Aunt stepped in to fill the void. And to be grandmother to our daughter. We lost her when our daughter was. 10. 2 wonderful in laws! I couldn't have had better!
Love listening to you both sharing the history of the house and times it was built!! The Great Chamber information was really interesting! Love the stories the Countess shares!! The West Room furniture is beautiful.The bed is amazing!! The ship is beautiful! The Thunder box Loo is a hoot!!! Love from Vermont
I was just binge watching ladies of London and didn't know you had a channel! Glad I found it. Thank you for sharing your home!
Greetings from Butte Montana. Just watched two of your Smithsonian castle episodes. Thank you so very much.
Thank you Digger Fan, glad you're enjoying the show and these live tours. There will be another tour tomorrow.
lovely, from the Netherlands
I Love the tours and the stories. Your MIL is lovely. I also saw your show this past Sunday in the US and can't wait for the next. From IL
The Countess is such a wealth of information, I could listen to her all day. She knows history and the back story of the homes furnishings, paintings and other details of the family, she is so interesting. I love your home. Even though is is very historical and quite a mansion, you can tell it is "home" to the family too and there is love in it. Love your channel Julie.
@28:30 That portrait of the Countess is STUNNING!
Another leak, Luke :)
This is wonderful history. What a lovely home! Thank you for restoring it 💖
600 pounds per yard??? The rose silk velvet? Oh my!! Holy day beds, Batman!!
love your videos i lived in sutton valence kent years ago. just love england
What great job you are all doing, you are becoming better at what you are doing every week! Oh my what a beautiful ceiling 😍
Thank you so much Lynne!
we watched it from Melbourne, Victoria Australia. very nice I love the history. you both do a wonderful job, well done.
This is wonderful! Really enjoying it. Thank you for opening up your home to everyone.
Thank you for a very informative episode, you may need to put a UV filter on the camera to reduce the glare. Great family history as we have been busy researching the “Earl of Sandwich” so fascinating, thank you for making these wonderful segments and thank you to the Montagu family for allowing this to happen, you are all very special people and best wishes and looking forward to what is too come - Cheers The Johnsons from Noosa Australia 🇦🇺
I "accidentally" came upon this video. I love the British history and architecture and you are doing an excellent job. Please keep showing us all the rooms of this beautiful manor.
Thank you Sara, we'll do our best! There's another tour coming tomorrow, this time from the beautiful gardens at Mapperton
You all seem like such a loving, warm and fun family. Thank you for sharing that with us, it is rare.
I stumbled onto your channel and love it. Best wishes from Manhattan Beach, California
Thank you Lady James! We will be bringing you more live tours soon so make sure that you're subscribed!
Please stay with the stories and skip the comments and reading the phone. I love hearing the information and seeing everything and feel like the phone breaks up the flow.
No ! I think this is what makes this show quite unique ( but only recently tumbled upon it ). It is tempting to think that the US Aristocrat is not listening to her English Kin, but I believe this not to be the case. Also, I think its wonderful that questions and answers are sent to and fro, throughout the world, live and from `regular / ordinary ` fellows.
Totally agree with you . It’s too much going on at once , I personally do not care to hear about someone saying hi from Texas .
Just found this channel. And agree. So much knowledge and so little time to record it all. Skip the random hellos from complete strangers. Reading your phone when this lovely lady is sharing is just plain rude regardless of where they are from .
At least give her time to reply
Yeah. It comes across to me as if the younger woman Is disrespectful to the woman who has all
The information.
😒
Love the bed with the extension.... recycling even then .
your mother in law is so lovely and smart, I would love to spend an evening with her, learning all about this incredible heritage!
I get so depressed when your show ends ,I could watch all day long.
Hello from Orange, Virginia! I enjoy your video so much! Mapperton is so lovey and the work you are doing is amazing. The gardens are the most beautiful anywhere. The ceiling is so rare and amazing. Love from Orange, Virginia! ❤️🌹❤️
GOD BLESS MAPPERTON
Lovely to see you both and the Meringue Ceiling.🥰
Meringue, yes
Hi just found this vlog a fue days ago , I so enjoy it. Oh by the way watching this one from Newfoundland, Canada.
Love hearing the stories. Oh to get the whole roof done properly an have no leaks.
Lovely video! Getting better and better!
What a great Home filled with a Lovely Family - Thank You for sharing with us . North Carolina
You two are great. The Countess adds so much. What a delight. Those windows and ceilings!! Wow! Love your videos. Thanks 😊
Love the West room!
Thanks so much! 😊
Very beautiful & interesting historical information.
Lovely. I didn't find yall til late yesterday (12th). But I caught up on all the past videos. Saw this one today (13th). I hope to be on time next week. Carry on and Cheers! Sheila from Texas
Love this absolutely brilliant.
Thank you for sharing with us yourselves and your plans. Those of us who live in suburbia can lose ourselves in the grandeur for a time. So hi from Brisbane Australia
Please turn up the volume on the countess.
Countess of Sandwich is a star !
This is absolutely fascinating!!
The Countess is so lovely and has such a wealth of knowledge....really enjoyable. Please thank the Countess for me.
Hi Julie and you Lady Sandwich what a beautiful bedroom and that roof Tudor roof beautiful wonderful Those people knew how to build I have seen those at Hampton Court you have a beautiful house
Best wishes and thanks for your brilliant, informative series. Just a joy to be walked through the history of your quintessential English Manor House.
Very Enjoyable, Please Continue.
Thank you Stephen, we will be bringing you another live tour tomorrow...
Love the Maggie hambling drawings .A true icon of smoking
Very interesting. Thank you.
Maybe a Patreon account will be a good idea for Mapperton’s supporters.
@?,?, They actually aren't multi millionaires... they make money from the home. They open it to the public for tours and special events. If this didn't happen then the home wouldn't exist. Take a look back after WWII and see what people just like this family had to do and the sacrifices they made to keep these historic homes going.
Yes. Monthly supporters. Perhaps a great idea.
Watching from South Africa, loving all your hard work.
Very beautiful video. Hello to you and your family. Hello to the Countess. Have a wonderful day.
It would be great if you linked the book your mother-in-law mentioned about english country houses or if you sold it on your website. I'd buy it! Also, as an American I know nothing about the title system. Duke, earl, viscount, baron, duchess, viscountess, etc. Would be great if you did a series on that.
I love the knowledge The Countess of Sandwich has, and that she is so willing to share it with the world. If I close my eyes I can hear my mother-in-laws voice talking to me.
I know this is 2 years later lol but I am watching now and I live In Wasilla Alaska, I know I haven’t heard you mention anyone being from Alaska. Wish I’d seen this when you were actually live! Beautiful home, and I really enjoy your videos
BRILLIANT stories!!!!! Lady S (alot of crawling) questions: did you wake up covered in coal dust? and perhaps a competition to look for the signature
I would suggest greeting everyone in the Beginning of the video then having a few minutes to answer their questions in the following video. As It is distracting when the Viscountess is trying to focus on both the chat bot and the tour itself. Much love and keep it up. 🙏🏼
Thank you for the feedback Amel, we are looking at the way we respond to comments in the live chat and learn every time we do one of these tours. We'll definitely bear your feedback in mind!
Yes, agreed. Julie is quite loud as well, as us Americans can be, myself included, but especially in comparison.
Simply marvelous!!
You might want to mic the countess, she was hard to hear in some parts
Love this Julie!!!!!!your videos are wonderful !!! I love history!!!!! Barb from Ohio.!
Great history😀
Glad you enjoyed it
Came here after watching a rerun of your show on Smithsonian channel in Ontario Canada, will have to binge watch the rest now!
Loved this so interesting
Hope to visit some day!
Love seeing just a really grande home!
Elizabeth Ann from Nashville, TN

I love these videos, but I can never hear the Countess well, is her microphone on?
Love the draperies in hallway and the carpet runner
