The Gilded Age American Heiress Exhibition opened to the public here at Mapperton on the 5th May. However, if you can’t make it in person you can buy a ticket (3 cups of coffee) for a virtual hour long tour with me, and support this ongoing project over at www.buymeacoff...
A new exhibition offers a glimpse into the captivating world of Alberta Sturges Montagu, the 9th Countess of Sandwich, and an American Heiress from the renowned era known as The Gilded Age.
Curated by Mapperton’s very own American Viscountess, Julie Montagu, the "American Heiress" collection is comprised of more than 10,000 previously unseen letters exchanged between Alberta (Sturges) Montagu and her family, as well as the peerage at large.
Dating from 1888 to 1951, these letters constitute the largest unpublished private collection of correspondence from the period. They offer a remarkable glimpse into the life of a "dollar bride" during the Gilded Age, shedding light on both triumphs and struggles.
The exhibition takes innovation to the next level by introducing Alberta AI, a ground-breaking creation that brings her story to life like never before.
“With the aid of cutting-edge AI technology, we've resurrected Alberta's voice, allowing her to answer visitors’ burning questions about her remarkable journey,” says Julie Montagu, Viscountess Hinchingbrooke.

Viscount and Viscountess Hinchingbrooke 👑👑
Love to see a husband and wife who are friends and obviously love each other.
I saw a docu with Martin Clunes then other day… he lives in Dorset… & he said, no one comes to Dorset , because there’s no direct motorway ….. get him to visit you … I bet he could get visitors interested to coming…😀
Yep, great idea!!
Yes, please, I totally agree with @LesleyWilliams323 and @Trinidad2450 - a BRILLIANT suggestion, and I too would love to see Martin Clunes given a GRAND tour of your wonderful estate and all it has to offer
Oh my gosh! Yes! Would LOVE to see that
Congratulations to Jack - but of course every student's name is called out! We've just had 2 graduations in our family - my husband graduated with a Master's degree from Glasgow University and our daughter graduated from Queen Margaret University In Edinburgh at the beautiful Usher Hall - both times pipers were involved and yes, we clapped for every student.
I can't imagine anyone thinking you are not fun to be around. You are definitely not a boring person 😊
You should be very proud of yourselves for building such a successful RUclips channels to support the estate.
I am sure that all of the people before you that have tried to maintain the estate are looking down at you and are very proud of you.
Gosh, I love you two so much! Julie is a ball of fire, Luke is funny and chill and with every video I become quite smitten 😊 Thank you for all your hard work.
😊 thank you
Sending love to everyone
who feels overwhelmed.
With work, with love, with life.
Be gentle with yourself and
take it one day at a time
You got this🥰💜🎣❣️❣️❣️
I like your choice of titles with tea time at the Manor, especially when you guys are broadcasting from your kitchen! Reminds me of the old days :-) also it’s so nice to have this informal “chitchat“ with the two of you and also getting to see the two of you in the same place at the same time! I imagine it is a treat for you as well when that happens. Lots of exciting things going on in the Mapperton and AV world. Thank you
both for everything you do! You are the best 🤪
PS I am really enjoying my new Mapperton mugs that I purchased from the US Shoppe!
Thank you! And so pleased about the Mapperton mugs!
Please make no reference to boring. Julie and Luke, you both are the most successful, energetic , unpredictable,and goal driven aristocrasy in the U.K. I often wonder what your children think of some of your antics. Peace And All Good from Canada !
Julie's schedule always makes me tired the current one exhausted 😆 🤣 😂 you're amazing 👏
Fabulous work Julie and Luke. Please remember to spend time together relaxing and vacationing together. Take care of your relationship. We really like you. Sleep late once a week.
I said the same thing.😊
Ideas: picnics on the lawn, once a year. Murder mystery dinners. Sandwich making contests. Volunteers can brighten the videos, gives a variety of characters to worry about and root for. With Julie, the sky is not even the limit, she will get people there come hell or high water, she is only starting.
Art retreat, painting the gardens!
Julie you are such a dynamic force! I'm always happy when things go well for you (and Luke) & can't wait for the full tea on your book!
Congratulations Jack! 🎉
Viscountess and Viscount, my hat is off to You both, living and upholding such a stunning Manor, I can imagine, is an immense undertaking, both financially and time-wise! I don't get many opportunities to watch Your videos, but I love every one I manage to catch (life of a lowly peasant such as myself tends to be busy, be it by good or by bad.)
Congratulations to the Honourable Jack on His graduation!
(I am honestly trying to be polite here, not mocking)
So I have a back-of-house question for the American side: why not set up an American supplier/distributor (like cafepress) that would receive the order, create the product on demand and ship it within the US, without the customs forms or the expensive shipping to contend with?
Love the kitchen chat with a cuppa format.
I hate to rub it in but where I live down the south of France, there's a heatwave, temperature at the moment 32°C and it's almost 9 pm. Tomorrow is another scorcher, might get myself off to the beach but in the morning, don't want to be at the beach from midday onwards when the sun's at its highest. There is a down side to this and that's lack of rain and there is a water shortage so we're asked to be careful and not waste water. What do they say about one man's meat is another man's poison. You could do with sunshine and we could do with rain. C'est la vie!! Love your videos.
Ohhh I would love that book ! Please keep us updated? After finding out whom my ancestors are and that most are from the UK, I have become an amateur historian! My book case is filling up with history books. Thank you for your time!
Mercy,Julie, you have so much on your plate! Please take some time for yourself, too! Love from Pennsylvania 💕🌷🐻
Love watching you both. Sometimes, it's hilarious, other times, my heart just goes out to you with all that you have to do. Just know I think you all are doing a magnificent job.
Yes...handstands with Julie and Sophie!!! Luke, too??? 😊
Watching this grow into a more and more successful business over the years has been inspiring. Remember the show about struggling manor houses -not happening here!!! Go Julie!!!
Julie does have an enormous amount going on! But make hay while the sun shines! Love you, Julie!
Congratulations Julie!! 😃 Both of yours lists are really quite long and ı really do admire your energy .
Mapperton is absolute beautiful place it has got nearly everything , ı think it is a very very good house and estate and ı do really hope Mapperton is going to get the attention it deserves soon .
Luke you are doing an amazing job about rewilding which is very important hope you can implement the things you planned without any trouble and difficulties 🙂😀
I recommend for the rewilding walk. A few outhouses along the trail and picnic tables for taking a rest, having a snack and drinks, time to look at trail info on one’s phone. Tables with attached benches made from cut logs. Primitive out houses. One needs to carry out all garbage. Backpacks, boots, rain jackets recommends.
Make your beautiful Orangery into a top Restaurant.
They would need to build a kitchen next to it though. A venue for winter weddings would be better.
@@Rickbla perhaps a cafe...a light lunch, glass of wine looking out over the gardens...lovely!
You're not boring such a beautiful couple, and your home is just outstanding. Love your videos and love the history of your family!!! Something to be proud of. Have a great fun sunshine day!!!
Thank you so much!
GREATEST BASEBALL CAP EVER!!!! So very rude that I didn't EXCLAIM Congratulations on the book Julie! I can say with 100% resolve how proud all that follow you indeed are for this exciting news!
I love your stove!!!
You should look up the designer of the Aga, Gustaf Dalen, such an amazing story. It's an iconic design and a staple of country house kitchens for over 100 years.
Enjoy the ecclectic mix surrounding Mapperton and The Itslian house.
Keep up the good work.
Very informative
Loved hearing about the Campbell’s- I’m a McLean of Duart, family lore is that we were enemies back in the day! I’m in North Carolina where many Scots emigrated.
Mid winter in North Island New Zealand, it’s warm, bright and sunny…mid winter !
I will want that book .Julie .Good luck and thanks you
My comments Luke and Julie doing wonderful job Appleton manor the castle is beautiful inside and outside
I would love a book written by Julie. I hope it will have pictures of your lovely home and the surrounding property.
Julie, do you ever sleep? You are an amazing lady and Luke is amazing too! His parents must be so proud of you both and all the work you both do for Mapperton. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes I do! (occasionally!) xx Julie
The landscape project is so inspiring. I am sure it has been challenging to bring farmers together to work on this. I would love to learn what your goals are and indicators of success.
Okay okay okay. I might just be a silly American who is too much in my American mindset, but If I were these two I would think about Sandwich food trucks. You could renovate a central kitchen area at Mapperton in one of those old buildings that needs reno. You then could send your sandwich trucks all around to the other historic houses that don't have food offerings and to events and along the SWCP And the local area. People don't need to come to Mapperton, bring mapperton to them. I know Luke isn't yet the Earl of Sandwich but he will be (hopefully no too soon) and he IS a great face for such a thing. Perhaps the family has not wanted to capitalize on the "Sandwich" thing, but I think the business practically builds itself. Of course a capital investment would be needed. Anyway...Food trucks. If I had a chance to buy a Sandwich from the Earl of Sandwich, even if it was indirectly, that would be a thing I would do. Just a suggestion from who doesn't know much.
So funny…Julie looks like she just wants Luke to shut up so she can be the star….body language.
But must be hard to live your life this way. Unless the attention is what makes her come alive. Sort of hard to watch.
Great 💡 idea. Really, really long explanation 😂
Sandwich Food Truck would be ideal.
Poor Luke! He's disappointed that you forgot his yummy chocolates. I feel ya Luke! Everyone deserves chocolates. 😉
Congratulations Julie, on your new book deal! Well done!
Thoroughly impressed 💯🌸
Julie not detracting from both of your endeavours I'm sure your husband can't believe his luck he found you! Your energy and enthusiasm is incredible and inspiring. Just watching your various videos makes me want to lie down!!
Maybe you can run a mini bus from the nearest large town.
WOW, you are so busy Julie! Congrats on the book deal. Can't wait to see it.
Loved this! Great fun, really enjoyed watching all you are involved in.
Thanks for that. A most interesting, relaxed chat full of hints and tips. I find these fireside talks an excellent idea. They add a different dimension to an already excellent channel. Michael.
I love the idea of staining the floors. That sounds beautiful
100% love the flooring choice
Hot tea water with fresh 🫚 ginger, let it rest, it will warm you.
I enjoy your history talks
Ty
Congratulations on the book deal, Julie! It sounds like you have a wise and gentle Editor and that's such a gift! I'm sure you can use the work you've done on your dissertation in the book and also your experience making the displays for the Alberta exhibit will serve you well. I love your gusto! Yes, you probably take on too much. But, it's not too much of a muchness for you! You got this!
Tea in the kitchen, beside the Arga is cool. 👏
I think it would be fun if you went around Scotland showing some of the places and castles from Outlander
Like Culloden Moor?
Definitely the right choice for the timber floors in the farmhouse. Enjoy your vacation ❤😍😘
Thanks for the update! I wish you could share some of your energy 😂. Glad to hear you will get a break in August, you both deserve it! Can’t wait for the book! ✌🏻
a vote for handstands/cartwheels in the fields surrounding Mapperton...always love the rewilding project updates...thank you for sharing your slice of life!
I hope you all get some rest time, don’t stretch yourself too much. You’re successful without doing it all, and remember to have date night. 😊 Also it’s nicer to stay smaller and charming.
Go for handstands.
I am a McEwan descendant from America We have kept McEwan as a middle or first name since the 1900's.
Your cafe is so nice - make it a destination!
The biggest surprise to me today, is to find out Julie has a daughter. I thought there where boys. I am stunned.
Julie has a daughter and a son from her first marriage.
I'm not sure this is true. I think they are all by Luke. Maybe Julie can clarify it.
@@pattyhill4682 it's true. I've read it in wikipedia and other articles about her.
@@gloriastone3211 ok, I had no idea.
I thought Julie had two boys from her first and two boys from her second. I didn't realize one was a girl and not a boy from her first.
Yes to handstands with Julie & Sophie!
Julie and Luke very nice video I like your explanation regarding the development of Mapperton House and also the film in London.
PLEASE, please enjoy your HOT Tea! Am up on a SO CAL(iformia) Mountain for the Summer and it is a 100 plus degrees here every day without air conditioning! Oh My Gosh, as Julie would say, it's Brutal (an American expression)!. 2 cool showers a day -- not kidding and no relief in sight. The World's weather today is as crazy as the other aspects of our World at Large in 2024. Thank you for the culture, history, beauty and levity you both bring from Mapperton Live every step of the way.
Salute for Jack..🎉🎉🎉
Mini Ice-age. I've made myself an Arnolfini inspired faux fur lined dark green dressing gown for the winter.
Loving this!! Thank you both for sharing!!
Unsolicited ideas…
It would be interesting, in my mind at least, if some/all of the 53 other farmlands would offer tours and classes on site.
Classes that show and share what they do and how they do it.. would be fascinating to incorporate into the adventures in and around Mapperton, they may also be interested in hosting “farm hand’s” for the week, or other things.
Getting to the cottage and getting work done, why don’t you do it by horse… or utility off road vehicles?? That would make things even more exciting to share..
Obviously prior to the “fancy” road being built other means would have been available to reach the site..
Can’t wait to see what you come up with!!
You guys do an amazing job. It’s hard work and I take my hat off to all the hard work that goes into all the projects in your lives. Well done ❤️
Busy buddy! Huggicates. Love Julie!😊
I am very excited to see all these things happening!
Congratulations, Jack!! , Julie you are too busy.. hopefully, you can slow down a bit!! Yes please don't paint the floors .,they give it it's historical characters. 😊
I'm wearing my Mapperton T-shirt as I watch this. 😃
You are amazing at what you do Julie! 😘 from Portugal
Thank you so much!!
I so admire you Julia. Love these chats with you and like.cant wait for your book.you have so much energy.😊
So glad to see this on!
Congratulations on the book deal! Looking forward to buying it. And I need one of those hats!
One other comment....while all of the ongoing projects are so amazing and well, challanging, I am esoecially looking forward to the behind the scenes at Westminster!! Do your best as I would love to be in your shoes!!
Love those Emma Bridgewater mugs!
I think you have made the right decision re the floors in the farmhouse!
Really exciting stuff, you guys !!!!!!!!!!!
I'm glad you cleared that up for me. I thought the Julie in Italy was a fake channel. I will subscribe now.
I see many other channels using your content.
Weird seeing you release video on Thursday- happy for the bonus. Used to Saturday. Julie, you need to come over to the Midwest and warm up. ESPECIALLY after the European continent has gone through such a major heatwave
Julie and Luke, I personally believe a restaurant and a visitors center would take away from the charm of your place. You are doing such a great job! Someday - when I can convince my husband to get onto a plane - Mapperton and it's wilderness re-wilding and lovely house is definitely on my list!
What are the political implications to the fireside option? Asking for a friend 😊
No idea. I think some people spend all their time trying to find things to feel sensitive about.
@@pheart2381 just curious. I’ve an enquiring mind.
Fireside chat was nice but too drawn out. ❤
I envy you having cool weather. Here in Texas we're in the triple digits. I wish I was there y'all.
Yes, right decision on floor. I can imagine it. ❤❤
Sorry you don't like the cold! It is VERY HOT other places!
You can get your clay for the pond from Knepp. I'm sure they'd love to trade, ton-for-ton for your Greensand!!
Does anyone else find it ironic that Julie is a Montague? As in Juliette and Romeo? Juliette Montague ?!?
Just love Julie and Luke , they always make me smile and giggle with their banter and antics …. 💕😊🇺🇸
I just think ya’ll are precious. From North Carolina!!
Excellent video, full of interest and information.
Wonderful couple
There are many areas of Northern California that have 'slippage' or melting hills/mud slides when heavy rains come. With the shift in climate, certain areas are hit more than others. There was also a road slippage in the Idaho/Wyoming border area that created a 2+ hour detour until it was fixed. That fix took only a few weeks (if I remember correctly), rather than over a year. Is there a back way entrance to the farm house that can be used in the meantime?
Checked out the Mapperton Shop! No linen tea towel with a silk screened line drawing of either Mapperton House or the restored eagles?! On linen or a cotton/linen blend? I can imagine a set of silk screened tea towels over a period of time, and of course, the 'annual linen tea towel calendar' that every Mapperton follower will NEEEEED for the kitchen! A line drawing and the calendar would be great Christmas gifting items! I will place my order as soon as available!
Such exciting news with all of these projects! The energy between the two of you is amazing! I need to sit down and have a cup of tea after watching you two!
I wear fingerless gloves all the time. I buy hand knitted ones online. I live in the South Island of New Zealand. It rains all the time.
Omg the rothchildss. I went ingo the blood sticks layer
Hey Julie!!! It's Donna again....please see my comment below this one.....I'd like to have a cup of tea with you and Luke.......how about tea mugs with the Mapperton estate picture on it...with a bag of tea!!!! You could sell these for 15 dollars or so/ea.....I'd buy one!! just another idea🥰🥰🥰
As someone who lives in a tourist destination, please don’t discount doing something that will attract the locals in the shoulder seasons. We actively avoid doing much locally in peak tourist season, but in the off seasons we will go and do things every weekend when possible, and taking the kids somewhere they can run and play whilst we have a coffee is a popular option.
Even if it’s not the full cafe and instead is a coffee van with limited merchandise and your self guided tours, hot beverages and snacks and your areas around the cafe open - if it’s a pleasant destination that doesn’t cost a lot you will likely find the locals will come out to brave the less ideal weather and let the kids play whilst they have a hot drink and possibly a slice of cake and catch up with friends.
And as you’ve seen markets can be a big draw card, so maybe a few more of those. Basically anything that provides the local community with a low cost outing, which is especially important in times like these.
Big hint. Get Luke some souvenirs.
You’re both just so fun. Thanks for all you do and I follow all your channels.
You too boring 😮 - Never!! You both are so enjoyable to watch and very interesting in what you both get up too. It is always refreshing to have updates and be able to visually be with you in the fantastic kitchen, thank you so much Viscount and Viscountess for allowing us to be part of the daily and ongoing adventures of the path to glory of the Mapperton Manor and Itailiano chronicles- Take care, be safe and god bless 😇🙏🏰
Late Mail: Yes please would love to see the Viscountess prowess with here gymnastic abilities!
