The way Julie coaxes people out of their shells is wonderful to watch. She has a beautiful vibrant energy that even the most stuck up aristocrats cannot ignore. Her warmth and vivaciousness is infectious! I also love the way she gets involved in small projects - gets her hands dirty and has a giggle whilst she's at it. When I first discovered this series I wondered why an American was presenting British homes, castles, manor houses. It didn't sit right with me until I realized just how much she's enveloped herself in the history of these homes and the life and heritage she's embraced as a Viscountess. She's just lovely!

[@AmericanViscountess]

Thank you so much! ❤

I found it so touching how the Earl considered Small, the butler, his special friend. His continued interjection of Small in conversation to stress how the butler cared for them brought a tear to this American's eye. ❤😊

What a beautiful school, it must cost a fortune to attend. I've watched this program befor on one of the Viscountess' own channels. Her in-laws delight while they visit the home of their early childhood memories is contagious! Edit; Oh my. I just watched to the end (again), and I understood it was said that it's a State funded school, without tuition fees paid by the student's families. How wonderful for everyone, not the least of them being the Hinchingbrooke property itself. What a great way to preserve that amazingly important history for the future!

[@darrens3]

It was a state school and you paid nothing to attend. The house was restricted to the Sixth Form years 12 and 13 only. I went to the school and the Sixth From both for free. No fees. As I was in the catchment area. The dance room was where we sat to take exams in the 2000s. It's still a free state school today.

I've watched this video twice and 9h my gosh the emotions are so raw for me and I can't imagine the emotions that you and your in laws felt going through the house. I loved the history, the films and the tour of the home. It is heartbreaking that they had to move. I loved mapperton but my goodness the life they had at Hichingbrook. I'm so glad you take so much interest in their history, not only for your family but for all of us to learn and enjoy. It's a lifestyle us Americans don't really understand but we can still enjoy. We called the wrangle a wringer that would squeeze all the water out of the clothes after they were washed and they dry faster.

[@AmericanViscountess]

[@cynthiaalver]

I helped my grandmother with laundry when I was a child. We had a wash board and a barrel for cleaning the clothes and the hand cranked double roller was called the wringer, which squeezed out the water and then hung out to dry on the clothesline. Had several hours before the clothes had to be ironed and my grandmother taught me how to cook and bake. Loved my grandmother very, very much.

[@gonefishing167]

Oh, I can remember mum having a mangle - it was over this double concrete trough. Hard work. And a beautiful big copper. It was my job to light the copper and I vividly remember the smell of singed eyebrows and eyelashes. Oh, they smelled. And I had to still go to school to be made fun of. Then mum got this washing machine ( made by Pope!) and it had a - much smaller - mangle attached to it. You could swing it over the machine or over the trough. Then you’d put the bigger things ( sheets etc) into the ‘blue’ which was in the rinsing water. It was a Great Leap Forward. I remember that so clearly. Thanks for that memory 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺

[@louisebrislane6607]

yes, we had the same thing out here in Australia in the 1950s when I was born just after the war finished. Our first electric washing machine was a single tub by hoover & so my mother still used the double concrete tubs & the hand wringer for many years until we finally bought a twin tub. Eventually we wore a hole in the bottom of the concrete tub & so it was finally discarded by my brother who moved in to live in the 1980s.

What is striking are the shared memories with your family and so many others....from sliding on trays, washing clothes with the wringer washing machine, to carving memories into the fireplace!

Thank you very much, a very fascinating documentary opus has been released. I watched your film in the bomb shelter with great admiration. This is an outstanding documentary. I watched the film on KZbin since the alarm was announced in Kyiv. And we have been bombed in Ukraine for the second year now. During the entire period of the war, I also had thoughts of rethinking drawing a certain line between creation, architectural destruction, and decadence. I am a representative of the Kyiv dynasty which has lived in Kyiv since the 9th century. And unfortunately, over the course of 500 years, they lost everything they built and created. One of our ancestors was killed by the Mongols in the 13th century, around 1240, and during his burial, a stone with his last name carved on it was placed on his chest. This stone was from the ruins of his house, demolished by the Mongols. Later, the remains of our ancestors were found in 1840 during the reconstruction of the city by order of Emperor Alexander 1 and the demolition of the Kyiv necropolis. Since 1727, our family built a lot in Kyiv. But unfortunately, over 296 years, endless wars have destroyed everything. And there is only the Story of those people from whose grains of sand the earth that is under our feet was created. Thank you very much!

The tour of the property through children's eyes, via Julie's father-in-law and Kate's stories, is a wonderful approach to the telling of this story. Julie's tears afterwards brought a tear to my own eye. It's wonderful how personally invested she is in her husband's family's stories. I also loved the various places where they've framed out medieval bits of the structure in the school, as well as learning more of how to read the coats of arms as family history. I wonder...would they take a 66 yr old American for next term? (Maybe not, because I would probably spend most of the time staring at my surroundings and flunk my lessons!) Bravo, Julie, and crew!

This lovely episode so accentuates that these are first and foremost stories about people and families, and after that about history and architecture. And regarding the laundry room, I grew up in Canada and our term for the mangler is the wringer. It wrings out the water from the fabric, but of course it could easily mangle fabric and appendages -- those old clothes washers with wringers / manglers needed to be operated with care.

[@cynthiaalver]

This is so bittersweet for me. I love that the building is again being loved, as it should be. But it makes me somber that the family lost such prescious, tangible family history.

[@ThelmaBenison]

Hello Again Julie, I say of all the videos I find this one on Hinchingbrooke the most touching of all on several levels. First, bringing your father in law and his sister back to their roots is very healing because they are once again touching their ancestral heritage in person. I realize this is large castle, however there is an invisible thread or connection that is brought back while there because their minds and hearts are making that connection to their ancestral home and heritage, plus while talking over of what happened with their selling this castle heals the situation even more because it is addressing the root cause. The more you talk about it, the more you lessen the wounds both financial and emotional and very likely physical as well.

History isn't just what is found in books. History is all the knowledge and memories and documents and records and evidence of the people who lived in the past and up to the present. Your family isn't just the people you met. Your family are the people who came before you, who donated a part of themselves a long time ago so you can exist. You didn't simply come from your parents and grandparents. The live on through you and any descendants you have.

Julie has a channel, "American Viscountess", and the family also have a channel, "Mapperton Live". The house and gardens are open to the public, so you might want to check that out.

I love the history of this house and am so grateful for opening the door to this world.
