  1. Hi Julie, I loved this, the old kitchens are my favorite part of these homes, and we usually never get to see them, except for when you are doing a house tour, so thank you so much. Love from N.Y.

  2. Julie your videos are a nice respite from the pressures of the world! Thank you very much!
    A toasty greeting from Las Vegas Nevada only 99 degrees today. Cool for August 😮😊
    Julie did you ever meet the Queen?
    I was about 10 or 20 ft away from her and the other royals during the trouping parade in 1982-1985, when they let people stand on that island in front of the palace. Diana was so beautiful!

  3. Thank you, Julie, for all your very informative videos. I love seeing the old manors and all the history attached to each one!!

  4. I looked at the finished “night club” at Birdsall. It was fantastic! Didn’t you do a revisit?

  5. Great to see these again and be reminded of how much remodeling had been completed in your more recent visits. Hopefully the Pitchford Hall is near completion, as that was a lovely story that needs to be written.

  6. Ooo! I love that you pulled the footage of kitchens from your tours and put them together in this compilation! Kitchens are such a primary and integral part of any home – whatever the size – aren't they? Loved this!

  7. It was a wonderful video. Lovely to see just the old kitchens and the parts that are not generally open to the public. Well done Julie.
    Well done in finding the leaks in your pool. Luke looking forward to seeing the repairs. PS I would love to see Luke paddling in the swamp soup😂😂😂
    Thanks Julie ❤❤❤

  8. My grandmother had two kitchens. One was in a separate building near the house with a modern cooker. The other inside the house with ovens either side of the fire. A grill on top and a kettle hanging above

  9. JULIE. I HAVE A QUESTION RELATED TO THIS . I JUST WATCHED KEVIN HICKS OF THE HISTORY SQUAD AT WARWICK CASTLE ON THE COAT OF ARMS THREE LOSINGES ALL OVER THE CASTLE. IS THERE A CONNECTION.?

  10. Absolutely loved this video. I wish we could just turn the clock back and witness all the activity/work to keep a Manor House like this functioning.
