Beautiful Abandoned house | home to Sir Tom | everything left behind | war hero!

[@oskarsmom7552]

This place is a national treasure! Everything in here needs to be catalogued and saved. The house itself! Just got my heart racing. It truly needs to be restored. Thank you for sharing this. I hope there is some sort of historical preservation society that you can contact about this.

[@kimm59]

I totally agree it needs to be taking pictures of just as is first and then carefully those antiques need to be restored I mean that whole thing could be in a museum

Hey #Dave, I'm revisiting this one. It's amazing how the thatched roofs hold up to the test of time over any other roofs over there. I'm comparing them to the roofs here in the states. Codes out the arss here! This is such a beautiful home. I hope it gets saved! The Roman numeral is 4= IV 💜🫶🏻💜🙏🏻💜🫶🏻💜 ❤️🇺🇲💙

[@Stephanie-nc8ep]

Beautiful, the house needs to be protected from vandals. I could spend hours there, enjoying every moment. Dave, the IV, is the number 4. Thanks again for each of your adventures you share with us.

[@kimb4285]

What a lovely little house, cluttered but I bet he knew where everything was. In the navy and looks like he was a ham operator, loved his old communications, which could be all over the world. Bet he had some stories to tell. Love that it's untouched, you could spend hours going through everything though, interesting guy. Thank you for sharing, amazing place.

[@AbandonedUK]

Those roman numerals are Carpenters’ marks which were created with a race knife and used as tags to distinguish various elements of a timber frame and how the entire ensemble should be pieced together. These marks are formed using a straight line often gouged with the u-shaped, or scooped, end of the race knife. Roman numerals were commonly used to mark up the timber elements of a timber framed building. Great explore as ever guys!

[@BilisNegra]

Interesting. Also roman numerals are easier to carve for small figures: everything under 100 can be notated using straight lines only.

[@balancedaustralia]

Yes the number was "4"

[@juanitaduval9856]

This is such a cute house love it!

[@christinemaskell5518]

truly the kind of home that draws you in. once there you can't seem to pull yourself away. there seems to be no exterior damage or repairs, cracks, patching for a house of this advanced age, good as the day it was completed. it makes you wonder who the first occupant was. I realize you had precious little time to film and try to fit what you could into the content. I was thinking to myself wait, go back a second I want to see that again !! I think I saw a pocket door but I am not sure. with the absence of cobwebs grabbing you and hitting you in the face I think it may be looked after once in a while ?? I can imagine the owner standing behind you wanting to explain what all the equipment was used for saying wait, don't go I have so much to tell you !! excellent and extraordinary find... well done 🤩🤗

[@veronicamensch3160]

I love old thatched cottages. One of my family lived in a thatched cottage, built 1600's, if memory serves me right. They had a big garden, farm buildings next door. I looked it up on google maps and was sad to see all the farm buildings and garden gone and several new homes are built basically on the cottages front garden. An amazing find, you appeared rushed not really knowing what to show. Thank you for contacting the necessary people to get the cottage secured!

[@Claire-be4gd]

Absolutely beautiful ..love how your so respectful..when I first saw this video I thought it was the house of Thee sir Tom ..lovely place I'd love to do your job I really love old abandoned places ..Thankyou guys wonderful video ❤❤❤

[@tracyjozefiak9931]

Such a beautiful home. Love that's its not hurt or destroyed by qnyone! A home that should be saved. Thank you for taking the time to show us how gorgeous this home is.

[@patriciafarrar973]

I had to smile at the jar with the 'golly' on the label! Quite simply, Robertson's Jam etc. had the catch-phrase, 'Golly, it's good!'..hence the logo..!!😊 (not offensive in the day.👍)

[@Callycat1161]

Such a lovely old place..many little treasures as well..he was really into communication equipment..great video!!❤❤

[@brendalittlefield2203]

Wonderful little house! Poppy the duck, resting on the pink bed..all those beautiful old paintings! Love the exposed beams and the gorgeous fireplace..all the old books! I pray this house stays stafe until family comes to claim it!

[@keishamissy]

Such a beautiful old home with lots of wonderful old treasures. I love how you & Mark are so respectful of these old homes. It's always wonderful listening to your narrations as you move through the homes. Also i heard a voice around 16:17-16:18...did anyone else hear it? Was at the top of the stairs...

[@ann1765]

Absolutely lovely thank you for showing sir toms house . Hopefully his daughter will sort it before idiots find it .

[@jadearl83]

Not Sir Captain Tom Moore ??? Surely? I had to skip through part of the video! ((At work))

[@ladyg9695]

Was his name not James ?

[@blanning2058]

This house was amazing! It surprises me that so much stuff can fit into these types of houses and to see the owners make the most out of the space they are given. Did you notice the homemade bookshelves made of old cereal boxes? I loved that baby doll and all the old timey photos. I'm like you, it's not about how extravagant the house is but what's left inside. It's a wonder y'all were able to find it with how overgrown it is!!

[@iratecomputeruser4160]

Realistic was a brand of electronics made exclusively for Radio Shack. The device you were looking at was their model DX-200 shortwave radio transmitter/receiver. The previous occupant was a shortwave radio aficionado. The boxes of electronics materials included several cartons of old radio tubes. He enjoyed building and repairing radios. The testament of his naval service means he was probably in the Naval Signal Corps, responsible for communications with other ships.

[@22jumpinbean]

What a beautiful hidden gem. Places like that need to be preserved when there's so many antiques inside. Thanks lads 👏🏼

[@kimdudds]

Beautiful cottage. It looks like he struggled for quite a while before he left. Still made his bed and the last meal on the table but the chaos took over. Bless him. A quaint thatched, wattle and daub cottage. I'm glad it's being looked after and preserved now.

[@annsmith4739]

It’s amazing,it looks cluttered but tidy as well ,I bet he was around when you were in their ,looks as though he’s had an incredible interesting life ,great find Dave lv Ann uk 🇬🇧 xxxx

[@myrescuecats3028]

Ann you should see my houses!😂😂I only live in one!🤣

[@garlandedwards1749]

So many antiques!! The bedroom furniture looks like it's made out of Rosewood. The old photos above the bed are interesting. The old books are interesting. It's a shame to see these antiques going to ruin. The old clock is stunning. A great old house!!

[@astriddobek8931]

Adorable little cottage. And what's even nicer it has not been destroyed by anyone. That's really nice to see. Because you don't find them very often without graffiti and everything being torn apart.

[@iannumanfanwright1743]

What a beautiful house...so much valuable stuff in there. Let's hope it never gets looted or trashed

[@janscorza7549]

Pure organized chaos! Lovely old cottage, not a lot of actual trash, just a lot of stuff, but organized so it would be easy to find. And IV is four, lol

[@toddburgess5056]

I really love these old homes, so much character and detail. Thanks for sharing!

[@petra7586]

I can hear the passion in your voice and the sighs you give is like a pain that say it's so sad as well. I love that because it's genuine you probably don't even know your Doing it.🥰

[@ceaton7536]

0ne of thr reasons I love you guys is because your so respectful. Alot of people aren't and I think it's wonderful that you guys are!

[@maryalcock9451]

What an amazing national treasure this place is, Dave please try to have this place secured . It was like travelling back in time

[@katem58785]

Hi from Australia, I normally only watch Adam Marks and just come along your channel, like Adam your very respectful of there homes. Great video, thank you.

[@splatty84]

Thank you Dave and Mark, for another beautiful tour. I'm glad you got to see it before it was secured. Duck looked quite content.

[@maureenalder8905]

This has to be one of my favourite explores Loved it...Well done Dave ❤

[@justcurious3514]

I love love love love love this house. I love the old architecture in the doors and the windows and fireplace and I love all the old paintings and books. Such an awesome little find thank you for taking the time to share it

[@Storiesbykim]

Such an amazing lil gem, this house didn't disappoint whatsoever. Thank you so much for this awesome video, I will be showing the lil ones tomorrow xxxx

[@ruthceballos6810]

Lovely house wonderful vintage goodies. Thanks for sharing!

[@tracyfowler6955]

Wow just wow. This place needs to be saved. It's so sad literally seeing someone's life left to deteriorate. Thank you so much for showing us this beautiful place 💜💜💜💜

[@sheliasalpietra5738]

Great find. That is a beautiful place.

[@voiceofreason7856]

Those false teeth in the bathroom - 5:05 - reminded me of my Dad. Unfortunately, Mum and I had to put him in a nursing home in - as it turned out to be - his last few months. Before he passed, I took the care nurses to one side and - out of the ear shot of my Mum - I asked them to be sure his teeth went with him, when he passed, and he was removed to the funeral home. I didn't want the obvious upset they may have caused had my Mum come across them while we were clearing out his personal belongings, after he did pass.

[@tanyabeaver273]

I saw ducky in the bedroom. And, I loved the old house, and how they kept it all nice and tidy. They had a lot of nice antiques.

[@tinasmith1259]

Beautiful little character cottage and full of proper last a life time furniture. I watched a program about Sir Tom, God Bless him, his daughter mentioned how he liked to make and mend things. It needs the roof repairing and kept just how it is as a memorial to the great humble gentleman that did so much for his queen and country . I hope his daughter passes it onto the grand kids. I am so glad you and Mark found this treasure and not one of those " so called explorers" and got it secured. You all take care and stay safe x

[@shelleywright7387]

This person who lived in this home knew exactly where everything was. It is organized kaos but definitely a national treasure xxxx amazing lads❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@gemmrebecca]

Aww what a cute little place!

[@angiewanders7272]

Poppy was at 10:35 on the bed. I'm loving this video. I love seeing all the old things and the way people lived. Now I'm finishing the video and I'm sure the rest will be just as great.

[@CatherineReilly-h4p]

I have a pulley in my house in the hall it's great for in the winter especially when I wash my quilts and bedding

[@joanneneaves9651]

Thank you for the upload. I started watching your videos 📹 when you very first started filming 🎥 and I am pleased your channel has grown so much because I feel you are always so respectful. I really hope your niece made a good recovery.

[@gaylewilliamson9183]

The gentleman entertained himself by talking to people on the radio.with the right receiver you can talk to people in other countries as well as local.Lots of antiques.Lovely wood furniture.stay safe guys.👍😀😍🇺🇸

[@olgajama]

Wow great example of a treasure trove of history great video guys

[@voiceofreason7856]

22:15 - the 'bent up' spoon. That's the way they still make some baby/toddler spoons. Easier for small hands to grasp, and hang onto ! I LOVE this house and its contents. Real museum quality stuff in there ! NO negative vibes at all, coming through, as I watch it. I think this was a home, filled with love, in its day. :)

[@sarahh3417]

Love to see Mark again. You guys have a great friendship and it adds to these explores! We love you guys too! P.S. Love the puns and dad jokes, keep them coming :-)

[@cyndeeanderson2030]

The duck is on the bed pillow. Seeing this by video is not like being there like you are seeing things by your own eyes. A video is better then nothing. I enjoy watching your abandoned places with the history that one can think that would be at that time. So grateful that you have so much respect for other people thing even be abandoned and forgotten. I do fine it hard to believe that the place is just falling apart that place be a beautiful cute place to live in and keeping it alive for the owns wanted it to be.

[@nannyfairy]

I wish I could put an impenetrable bubble around the house .It is so beautiful 💖💖

[@pennychurch7917]

Very warm and friendly place I love it

[@Jewgirl369]

IV = 4 Also I think there was an urn used to hold cremated remains on one of the shelves! I absolutely LOVE how respectful, cautious and careful with all you see and touch; but also keeping locations and names and such anonymous will ensure you will continue and even soar with your success! Karma, G-d or whatever your belief blesses such respect for others and their lives, possessions and memory! You are more amazing with each video of you I watch! Keep up the fantastic work!💖

[@patsykelly9015]

Dave you and Mark are so Respectful, I don't understand why others have to destroy these properties.x

[@nikiniki6407]

Another fab video guys great find. thanks for sharing x

[@cecoya]

This house is beautiful. Love the bed frame and all the old furniture. Poppy was on the pillow of the bed up there. Lot of stuff left behind. Great explore and very respectful as well. You have a great day

[@theresaryan2280]

Oh amazing national heritage now has it it will be lovingly restored now. That’s thanks to you both, you are wonderful the way you respect every where you go Thank you for showing us these places and thank you again for making sure it is now in safe hands

[@800Z3]

where can I find info about national heritage claiming it?

[@ChechoDrummer]

I've just joint recently and I really like this channel. The respect shown to the properties as well as the balance between narration and silence makes for great entertainment.

[@karenwright4587]

Another awesome find loved it the older houses are the best 👌 a bit cluttered but still that's what makes it for me poppy the duck eas on the bed upstairs thanks for sharing take care dave and Mark much love 💘 xx

[@Sunshine-kd5cg]

Beautiful house... filled with so much stuff....so many memories untold....the doll looked cute and creepy...thanku guys take care

[@mariarosier2456]

What a little gem . Great to see no vandalism. Great to watch as always guys. Thanks.

[@Pixiedreamgirl13]

I love that Mark looked like a grumpy 5 year old driven around by his parents🤣🤣🤣🤣 always a great video, the footage and the banter between the you and mark make it extra entertaining. I hope you’re both doing well🤗☺️

[@christinemaskell5518]

as I was looking at him I could see my son age 12-13 as grumpy as could be because he didn't want to go do family things anymore (to mature for that stuff) !! oh mom, WHY can't I just stay home !!!

[@TocaArabell]

Omg, I thought that too

[@angelajones1352]

so sad... To see how 1 person lived by himself... I hope no one trashes the place... nice little home...

[@rachelmayes298]

I really hope you did get in touch with someone to make sure no one else can get in. This place is just amazing, it’s filled with so many treasures that people would steal. In the living room the wall cabinet looks as if someone has taken some porcelain out all ready. I really hope it will be lived in again in a few years. It will be a shame if this property is left for nature, as it’s so old and full of memories. Thank you Dave and Mark ❤️

[@carolknuth7517]

Great video! Dave, what I enjoyed most, besides viewing all the artifacts in the home, was your interesting and informative commentary through out the film, besides being a great explorer, you would be a wonderful documentary narrator or news anchor! Not only are you well spoken, you are easy on the eyes!!!!!

[@susanlennard8495]

Hi Dave and Mark, what a beautiful house you found.love the baby doll,and all the beautiful beams in the house I just love it.Poppy the duck was having a rest on the bed,with the red cover.All the stuff left behind,some of it could be worth quite a lot.All the books left behind such a shame,some of those books look old.I hope no one else finds it,and ruins it.Please stay safe both of you,really enjoyed this video.xxxx

[@Callycat1161]

Very beautiful house, love those beautiful paintings. And the writing desk is amazing. Lovely home indeed.

[@carolineatterby8106]

What a great explore , loved this one such interesting things to look at ,loved the antique books, theres something about old books and paintings...and all that communications items should be in a museum, and this beautiful house restored...but not spoilt...thankyou so much for sharing...and letting us take a sneak look into such an interesting guys life...and home...just subscribed

[@lynneedwards9704]

This is a great little house. Yes it needs to be secured, what a shame all the stuff has been left and all the lovely paintings. Perhaps they had no family. They lived there till 2019. You are both so respectful of the houses. Thanks for another great explore!! 😁💖

[@lenasmith4360]

Glad to see you and Mark doing this video together love the furniture so sad no one has come forward for the things

[@korimawinkuwait592]

[@vikkiefrance7345]

Such an amazing house! Love that it hasn’t been touched by vandals, much respect to you and mark for what you do xx

[@lalousiane7118]

RED RUBBER DUCKIE ON THE BED!!! Dave, if he served 30yrs, maybe he was a readioman or communication specialist & that's why he has so many radio devices. I'm curious about the beam with IV, which is roman numeral 4. He also had that black post in his kitchen & I wonder if he salvabed them from something else. The roman numerals have been found on ancient ships. I'm a 69yr old lady from South Louisiana, USA & I love how you are so respectful of not only abandoned places, but of the people that lived there & the neighbors. I watch your videos as often as I can. I sent you & Mark the Country Road tee shirts, but unfortunately it's hard financially. God bless you & Mark's family, especially Mark's newest baby. Much love from this cajun lady. 💜💜💜🙋‍♀️🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏

[@blanning2058]

I saw on a couple other comments that the number on the beam is like sort of a puzzle to put the house/frame together.. So nothing really too special but it is interesting.

[@terrybailey4622]

Another fabulous find.. So eccelectic!! Wow can't believe the stuff that's left...Love you guys. Always a pleasure seeing you two doing what you do best! Thanks for sharing with us all!!! ❤️ To you and yours ❤️ (Poppy on the bed)

[@janetslicer3637]

What a lovely historic place. Roman numeral IV = 4. I was worried about this place but now read it has been rescued. Very good to know. You do a fine and respectful job in your videos. Many thanks from the US.

[@dawnberthold3894]

Love, love you guys. Great explore. Looks as though the owners could walk in any moment. You guys rock.

[@mrsb3650]

I hope you recognised the Mona Lisa print on the wall at the top of the stairs. There was also a famous print of a painting by Constable (I think). The red coloured shield and swords that was in one of the rooms was a popular 'ornament' back in the 1980s. My parents had one on their wall. No idea why they were so popular!

[@CarollFord2019]

They were from Spain, tourists brought them back along with sangria bottles and Spanish dolls.

[@theseamstress6315]

29:00 ducky on the bed. Looks like the guy was a Ham operator.He probably was a decoder in the navy. Great explore guys?

[@lucyblue1235]

Great explore guys! You’re always so respectful. Thankyou for sharing this beautiful place 👍

[@TheClockwise770]

A wonderful find. That little metal door in the kitchen wall may be a bread oven, very often fitted inside next to fireplace in 17/18th century cottages The Philips receiver is an early shortwave radio ham's receiver.

[@nanapatsullivan2344]

I saw cottages with thatched roofs when I visited kilkenny, kerry Ireland. Once all this craziness settles down I am making my way back to Ireland for an extended stay, visit my son, his family, my grandchildren and to meet me 1st great grandchild.

[@robinc1448]

Definitely loved collecting things. Some of those items like military need to be saved. Probably from WWII. Mr. Duck was taking a nap I see!!

[@elainelansbury5494]

A gorgeous old cottage. So many features you don't see in new builds. Proper good old Gollywog on the Robertson's jam jar. I collect the Golly badges. This world is ridiculous now that a Gollywog could possibly offend someone. Excellent video Dave and Mark.

[@gailh589]

Oh I could spend days looking around this house. It's beautiful and so full of antiques and interesting little things. I think that he was some kind of intelligence agent in the 2nd world war because upstairs it looked like he had those radios that they used in the war? A person who was possible very private. I would think that the house could have been built in the 1600 century. Lots of history and lots of vibes. I love watching you two . You so respect every explore you do. Love to you both xxx Gail wales
