Hate the wall to wall carpet – detracts from the heritage etc – is it for warmth or to protect floor boards- around the toilet ? That would be hit and miss – imagine the smell and the cleaning?
My favourite channel I had no idea about this great house
Julie, you are, without doubt, an amazing interview woman – an incredible history bringer to those who can't "be" there – an elegant guest who shows respect and interest and we can SEE it is real excitement you bring to all these "tours" you share with us! I know I will make it through the dull Winter blue period knowing you have such in depth and insightful shows to watch! THANK YOU!
This estate is incredible ! Thank you for sharing with us 😊
Spectaculair estate with a warm atmosphere. Kudos to the staff and owners for creating a home
Every time a new episode is out is all i see is bigger and better stuff.thank you so much for the good job you are doing.
so the current family bought this house after the first guy put all his money into it and made it what it is today.. interesting… so we and they owe him,
Another fascinating video. Lovely to see another estate that has struck the balance between the environment and food production as well as preservig the living history of the house. P.S. Thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas Fair yesterday.
Stunning!
What a wonderful house and estate! 🏘
On a shallow note, Hugh Crossley (Lord Somerleyton) is the hottest, most attractive lord of a British historic house that I can remember ever featured. 🔥😊
I'm a master gardener and this really hit home. Beautiful house, too. Wonderful episode. Thank you. ❤
Julie, you are such a great storyteller chock full of historic facts. I love watching your visits to other historic homes and estates. The rewilding projects are my absolute favorite! Much love to you from this new fan.
I wanted to see more of the house.
I enjoy your videos…..they are all great. Just one question….Do you ever visit the United States. Are you homesick on Thanksgiving? Just wondering from a fellow American.
Just discovered this channel through History Hit and absolutely love it! It reminds me of old BBC history shows. Just really charming, interesting, and excellent quality. It deserves way more attention.
Julie nice video and beautiful house with a lot of history.
Thank you for sharing this. Enthusiastically and considerate
The front garden is beautiful! The lake makes me think of Lake Dennison in Ma. USA. We use to go camping there, until dad found Rand Pond up in NH. I am going to agree with some of the other commenters here, this is the best estate you have featured thus far.
Gosh, it must be an incredible cluster of challenges happening at all times to keep these wonderful homes for posterity. Getting them to produce enough services so they wash their own faces must be daunting!
is it the awfull anglo style chateauesque or Pitoresque neo stuff of the late 19th?
wondefulZ!
Julie Montague does so much for her marital country which she obviously loves. An award from the British government please and an award from English heritage please. Plus a grant for her home "Mapperton" upkeep.
Beautiful estate. The buildings and gardens are special. The 150 yr old maze is also quite grand and quite English. Julie does nice laid back conversations and is genuinely interested in the owners, staff and maintenance. Never thought of storks as part of rewilding but they are spectacular birds.
ill moisturise her face🤣 !! im a peasant lol
