In the 21st c.these houses are anachronistic one can't deny that some of the greatest moments in British history are to be found within the confines of these beautiful examples of a bygone age. Julian Fellowes is a master of his art and a visionary of historical dimensions.

[@caseyhill636]

I feel that the further we get away from these beautiful anachronistic homes, the more we yearn to return to them. It’s a beautiful thing

[@shanejohns7901]

To be fair, it's likely a bit easier being a 'visionary' regarding things that have already happened (history) as compared to being a 'visionary' regarding the future. Fellowes does a masterful job of capturing the essence of the period. But insofar as the entire TV production goes, there were lots of people who used their talents to mesh with the talents of Fellowes -- especially the set and costume designers. And of course the grand historical nature of the home itself goes a long way to creating the overall ambiance.

[@ebriggs3498]

What I loved about the scenes of the tourists in the house, was how little the family really knew about their estate! I suspect that was very true. They had all these portraits of the former earls and ladies and there was history behind all of the China, knickknacks, etc., but they didn’t know it because they had lived in that huge house all their lives and thought everyone lived like they did! It was rather sad! I’m glad that the current Earl of Caernarvon who owns Highclere Castle, the house used as Downton, knows and treasures his family’s history!

Gwen had determination and talent - but she also had a great deal of good luck, and considerable help from Lady Sybil. There were many others, equally talented, equally determined, who had no such good fortune.

There'll always be an England! For from it has come all that's good and kind and decent and it has blessed the entire world with so much but mostly with what England is based on and from whence all its goodness flows from and that is the eternal river of life, the Bible and the Lord Jesus Christ. Downton Abbey epitomises the heights of Englands grand and glorious destiny and refined culture through their ruling classes. In essence it is a sensitivity and refinement of thinking and feeling and way of life that considers our lives sacred and a calling whatever station of life we find ourselves in. There will always be someone greater or lesser than we and it is our duty to humbly do our best for all thinking of our wonderful Saviour who lived his life for his heavenly father and others.

[@pilgrimmum]

​@@sunnydaze2359There is such a thing as 'Christian' Socialism which is what our western societies are based on which is care and concern for all in our society whilst retaining the freedom and independence of a democratic society.

When the Crawleys planned on downgrading their life style just a notch, was quite moving, which was the realization of the changing times and the prospects of new wealth was being found in other areas and avenues, and no longer through investments and farming.

Faccio di nuovo o miei complimenti al signor Fellowes... dall'alto dei miei 59 anni mi permetto d' affermare che sia stata una delle migliori serie televisive di sempre. Ad oggi non so ancora determinare quale dei personaggi di tutto il recitato compreso i due film e sia il migliore....(Sig.ra Maggie Smith a parte) ha solo individuato l' episodio preferito (forse ho già visto una decina di volte tutto ) e credo sia l'ottavo episodio delle terze serie...ma in generale la delicatezza di come sono trattati tutti gli argomenti presi in considerazione nella serie la silente e arguta giustizia con cui vengono puniti tutti i personaggi dei loro risvolti peggiori ed infine lei la granduchessa con il suo lungo sguardo e la sua arguzia nonché alla fine il suo vivere nonostante tutto da generico umano.

[@marinazagrai1623]

Bobby...Edith was the middle daughter, insignificant, less pretty than Mary or Sybill. All this is due to the make up and clothing she had to wear - the problem with her is she always fought with Mary. Sisterly relations (you can only understand that if as a woman have a sister that you didn't get along with)! She had to earn a better disposition when she decided to get out of Mary's shadow - thank goodness they lived when they did, because 20 yrs earlier she was supposed to be looking for a husband and nothing else! That was their world and after 1919 (with the vote) they were able to get out and do something worthwhile.

[@OzmaOfOzz]

I hated her hair. It was so unflattering and she didn't change it when the 20s hit. She had the same hair throughout the series 🤦‍♀️ I know it was a wig but they could have chosen a better one at some point...

My dad had left his stable, well paying government job in order to move into a city, so that I could have a good education. At the time of his leaving, every one of his colleagues, even his own family and my mother's family had told him that he was making a grave mistake. Now, I have managed to go farther in life, than the children of his friends who had stayed back in the tea estate. Now, the very people who had once snubbed at my father for being a mere private accountant, are jealous of the way our family has prospered. Take the chances which are made available to you.

Having binge watched this series again, my first time view was that Mary was the bitch and screwed over Edith. However, my second viewing changed my opinion, I think Edith was the bitch and was very jealous of Mary and worked to screw her over (she nearly ruined over the pumuk incident). I also observed Edith's jealousy may have started over the first heir to downton, Patrick (who died on the Titanic) as I think Edith was in love with him and he was earmarked for Mary and Mary didn't even want him.

WW1, universal suffrage and 1929 had significant impact. But it was WW2 and the unexpected maintenance of war time tax levels into post war (to fund the Welfare state, NHS and war debt) that finally ended the means to run a large stately home as a family home. Full employment also meant rising pay and a large staff was impossible to find or finance. Most owners also had Edwardian values, that thought tax avoidance to be immoral: Tax planning and diversification has much to do with how the ones surviving today did it. Houses appropriated during WW2 were not often returned in good condition, needing significant rennovation and repairs. Few realise quite how extreme post war austerity was, which lasted until 1950s.

Don't know how long they enjoyed it as my friend was gone by the time he was 71 and his brother was in much worse health and a good 7 yrs older. I wonder of the otherside of the road driving di him in as one of the other students in my group had planned to visit his son in the program and before i knew it the parents after starting out their driving portion of their visit in the cotswolds had returned after an unfortunate incident driving. He probably was on the wrong roadside?

It is sad to see the belongings going away.

I haven't keep up. What happened to Daisy inheritance of William's father's farm?

[@here_we_go_again2571]

@ 9:30 Robert -- Ha! What did he think about all of the women working in service and on farms being "worn out" Or, for that matter, the immense responsibility that Mrs. Hughes, the housekeeper, had to manage.

Mary should have ended up with Charles Blake. They had chemistry. I'll never understand why they married her off to a wet noodle. Charles, at the very least could have held a candle to Matthew.

[@nora22000]

Charles could have kept Downton solvent, too--an issue close to Mary's heart.

[@patriciaseitz3530]

Couldn't agree more. He was so much more interesting and seemingly compatible with Mary. But there would still have been room for tension due to their differing views about the estate

Ironically these big houses are now making more monies than the plot of lands the other lords demolish their houses for 😂

[@AlexS-oj8qf]

@Kuchi Kopi Most of these houses were in the middle of nowhere, it's technically a plantation, a farm house. The land doesn't worth as much because there's no high demand in housing around the area, especially when you happens to lived in Midlands or Yorkshire area. Many lords demolish their house to avoid paying taxes that's implemented later by the Labor Government, more than often they simple remove the roof because demolition cost more than it's worth.

[@spencerwilton5831]

Kuchi Kopi in the 1950's grand houses like this were being demolished at the rate of two a week. We lost hundreds of beautiful stately homes. Primarily it was due to labour governments increasing taxes for the "wealthy" to eye watering levels, and death duties finished off many big houses. Others barely survived by selling land, furniture etc. Many were handed to the government to use as hospitals, schools etc and have since been left to rot. Whatever your thoughts on the aristocracy, they did at least maintain the historic buildings of this nation for hundreds of years, at no cost to the taxpayer.

[@0Dighs]

@@spencerwilton5831 "at no cost to the taxpayer." Obviously they worked full time to make the amount of money to maintain the house and never explored the work of others, by lets say lend them money, properties, land etc at an extorcionary amount of money and interests. Yeah they deserved it because they've worked their butts off, meritocracy works!

[@tfh5575]

Spencer Wilton No loss to anyone except the owner. Ain’t no “we” How did the 1% of the 1% convince everyone that these ostentatious mega mansions were “national heritage”? Only when they needed our money was that the case 😂

[@AlexS-oj8qf]

@@tfh5575 Actually a lot of historically significant treasure such as paintings, statues, and a lot of other art objects were lost during that era, many purchased by rich Americans and ended up in American Museums, stuff that otherwise could decorate Britain's Museum and attract tourist.

Highclere Castle & houses like that will cease to exist when the public inevitably gets bored of it.

[@GailSiebuhr-de6sb]

English homes will always be of interest. The Royal family & the aura around all that it holds with traditions & culture.

I love watching Downton Abbey because it makes me stop and think that's how life works in England 🇬🇧 compared to the United States 🇺🇸 as being a head of time 1]

[@janebrown1706]

No. America is running now how Downton and the UK used to run in 1900. America taxing working class too much, which keeps them in their place. Fly the flag to keep them thinking they are part if it - but they're not.
