If my ancestors had not left East Anglia in 1634 to move to Massachusetts, I might at least have passed by this estate on a country drive. Fascinating…

[@AlexandraK1]

This is paradise, literally!

[@michaelw.8614]

Great production, camera work, and commentary. Fabulous estate!!

[@paulinewilson613]

WOW! This is by far the most magnificent estate you've ever featured on your program, what a truly wonderful property, thank you for taking us with you xxx

[@emmabovary1228]

Such a delight, watching you make your way through these historic properties. Your obvious excitement makes the series that much better because you’re such a genuine soul. No doubt, many of us would feel the same if we were allowed the same access. My favorite part of the interiors is the carved wood molding and plaster work. Thank you for sharing.

[@31Rowan]

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!

[@AmericanViscountess]

Thank you so much!

[@liannebedard5521]

Writing from the northwest USA (Seattle) and thrilled to find your series. 🎉 What a wonderful combination of restoration, economics, …and This Old House.

[@CatherineBeaumont-l7x]

This has been my favorite historic house tour so far! Thank you for the beautiful peak inside.

[@nadia-i1l5h]

Spectaculair estate with a warm atmosphere. Kudos to the staff and owners for creating a home

[@BanffshireProf]

Loved the visit to Gainsborough, Julie. It's great to see that artisan specialist companies that help conserve or restore our historic houses. If you do go for new fabrics to upholster the pieces at Mapperton please let us follow the whole process on youtube! Diane is fab!

[@OBXDewey]

I'm a master gardener and this really hit home. Beautiful house, too. Wonderful episode. Thank you. ❤

[@AmericanViscountess]

You are so welcome!

[@rebeccahenry4930]

the gardens are my favorite part!

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.

[@AmericanViscountess]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@roxannedyerart]

Lovely, thank you, Julie. The preservation of history is a noble pursuit; and this is all so wonderful to see.

[@eamonnohalloran2254]

Julie does it once again. With her unique style and professionalism ,Julie introduces us to this wonderful estate, its owners ,managers gardners and custodians. Her interview techinque puts her subjects at ease and allows them to shine. Her questions are relevent and enquiring .Coming from a place of shared experience. The interviews are not rushed or time constrained. So each person can give well articulated answers on their passion. Well done to Julie and the Team. Top marks on production,content, subject, professionalism and all done with humour and kindness.

[@AmericanViscountess]

Thank you soooo much! xx Julie

[@kellymorrow-bradford553]

Magnificent property! Along with Mapperton , a visit here is now on my bucket list. I love learning about rewilding which before watching Mapperton, I had no clue. Thank you Julie, I love watching everything you do.

[@allymoy]

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.

[@AmericanViscountess]

thank you!!!

[@AmericanViscountess]

Please spread the word!

[@michaelwhalan9783]

My great grandmother was born a Crossley, but in Leeds.

[@katherinecollins4685]

Brilliant video

[@cbrusharmy]

Beautiful house and gardens. I'm a big fan of rewilding.

[@claudiamann7111]

Thank you so much for another wonderful tour of a beautiful home. Incredible!! What a fabulous couple.

[@AmericanViscountess]

Thank you so much!

[@kristinedunner988]

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.

[@7ofthem]

Oh come on … it’s all to make money for her own house , and there’s nothing wrong with that , but it’s not award worthy . The aristocracy are famous for being rich and thick and having no idea how to make money from their estates . That’s why so many lost them … At least she’s out there trying new things to make money. UTube is one way and American patreon another .

[@joandarrah478]

So glad to find you again. I used to watch consistently but somehow lost track of this show. I am in California with 2 acres (it seems big to us) and I love to see how others are using their space. This one is so different from our place that it was a real treat to 'visit'. I had ancestors that lived in this part of England. Our place is in an area that has become quickly populated and that has driven the native wildlife to look for places to live. Everything here is informal and there are a lot of trees, frequently planted by birds and squirrels over the years. We have had wild turkeys and skunks but they moved on. Now there are raccoons, opossums. kit foxes {endangered species) and cars (not endangered but much loved), Good luck to you in all of your projects and please keep coming back to inspire us. Watching videos like yours is like taking a mini-vacation. 🏵☘🌺🌹🌳🌲

[@AndreaTardott]

This estate is incredible ! Thank you for sharing with us 😊

[@annansel2638]

I so appreciate these videos...and how we meet the custodians and caretakers..

[@izzy1563]

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.

[@AmericanViscountess]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mariaangelesmarinramirez5376]

Julie nice video and beautiful house with a lot of history.

[@bevleeming6703]

So interesting that many estates have rewilding projects.

[@carolinebritten3390]

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.

[@AmericanViscountess]

Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for coming! xx Julie

[@meganhill3822]

Thank you for sharing this. Enthusiastically and considerate

[@VaultMCMLXXXIII]

Another wonderful video. Thanks, Julie!

[@AmericanViscountess]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DShaimaaHam]

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.

[@jeanettenfreeland1408]

You tour the most beautiful homes

[@kismit100]

My favourite channel I had no idea about this great house

[@lorriephillips653]

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.

[@AmericanViscountess]

Thank you so much!

[@silvermine2033]

Beautiful place! Greetings from Connecticut 🇺🇸

[@teresa-o3t]

I LOVE THE CHANNEL!!!! YOU ARE AMAZING ! I cannot imagine the yearly cost of a home of this magnitude !!! Not including the land! WOW

[@AmericanViscountess]

Wow, thank you!

[@Thomas-v9n]

Stunning!

[@AmericanViscountess]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@2Sugarbears]

I wanted to see more of the house.

[@pppexplorer]

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. 🔥😊

[@ajadrew]

Love these videos, thank you!!

[@AmericanViscountess]

Glad you like them!

Beautiful Historic Home.

[@ILoveSpring30]

Beautiful home. I instantly recognized the staircase from The Crown.

[@melissaphillips3088]

I am so happy that these historic houses and estates are rewilding. This is such a beautiful place. Julie the work you do by showing these places makes alot of this possible i am sure. Keep up the terrific work! ❤

[@AmericanViscountess]

Thank you so much!

[@annamoore5561]

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?

[@annansel2638]

Just realized it was Julie running through maze!

[@Unclejake]

Funny about the clock tower, we have a family grandfather clock, my wife’s great grand father built it as his wedding present…anyway….I don’t even hear it most of the time…chimes on the 1/4 hour.

[@died4us590]

This estate is really nice, and quite large, but i have to be honest about the crimson room, it looks like someone shot the couch, just a bit to much of that wall paper. We all have different likes and dislikes, in fact I've never seen one of these estates where the decorating seemed a bit much, but the crimson room had be do a double take. Thanks for another great historical estate tour Julie, the garden's and wildlife conservation area's were nice, and i like the foot print of the home. I hope you get to restore the tapestries at Mapperton, i am just so curious about how all the pieces that were cut out, but found, will look after the repairs. G-d bless.

[@pheart2381]

I thought that room was a bit strong. I would soften it down with some white drapery.

[@RBS-f7o]

So this is very close to where my ancestors came from. They came from Great Yarmouth. Do these places have records of employees from the 1700-1800s and beyond? Makes me wonder if any of my ancestors worked there.

[@veronicapace7198]

A little bit of Heaven..

[@cathyhermanson10]

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.

[@AmericanViscountess]

Sometimes! But we have a Thanksgiving tradition now over here in the U.K which is lovely.

[@RichardBrowne-ks5xe]

ill moisturise her face🤣 !! im a peasant lol

[@ibuguru]

Did you realize that you failed to mention the NAME of this house/estate in descrtiption? I'd like to read more about its history, see their website, etc. And did not get the NAME written down fast enough when it flashed so briefly early in the video. For all your house tours, PLEASE write name of the house, the website in the description. I'm sure owners would also like their website listed so people check on booking tours, or hiring the house, or shopping their gift shop, etc.

[@AmericanViscountess]

Somerleyton Hall - have updated in the description!

is it the awfull anglo style chateauesque or Pitoresque neo stuff of the late 19th?

[@mJ-sm4ss]

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,

[@kristine1028]

Beautiful house and property. Julie……let the people talk. If I hear you “yes” or “right” one more time… just stop please.
