Lady Julie, thank you so much for this! The Jernegan's are my family. They held the original estate here at Somerleyton (and Costessey) for centuries and it is so nice to see it's in such good hands with Lord & Lady Crossley and their family now. Like you, I am American, but my family history is embedded deep within the annals of UK history. I'm doubly (both my mother and father are from aristocratic lines of the UK, Denmark, France & Spain) related and am quite sure your beloved Luke is a long distant cousin as I have Montagu amidst my lines as well. It's quite a wildly woven web isn't it?! I imagine it took quite some getting accquainted when you married in. Perhaps that's why I find you and Luke fascinating. The adjustment must have been really something and you seem to have done so well! I'm happy for you and do thoroughly enjoy your channel here. You should do a show on my Courtenay family line they hold Powderham Castle in Exeter/Devon. Lady Courtenay is American as well and roughly similar in age as you. I think you would both get on well and Powderham is a jewel.

[@wouterbussink2227]

Lara is so beautiful dressed and Julie not. Why?

[@lucylulusuperguru3487]

@wouterbussink2227 this was entirely unnecessary and rude. Clearly, no one taught you manners.

[@lucylulusuperguru3487]

I'm glad to see the Crossley's are holding my family's former seat in good condition. My family were the original Jernegan family of the estate for centuries prior to the Wentworths and Peto and the latest Crossley family. The remaining descendants of the Jernegan & Jerningham family scattered through marriage to other gentry families in the UK or came to far off places such as the US, Australia, New Zealand and the Caribbean. There are still lots of Jernegan descendents amongst the gentry in the UK but more by blood than name, title or land. Most of those now come under the Stafford family name.

[@MsPhyllisCady]

US Jernigan here! Thank you for the additional history! I am dying to visit.

[@Dexdog]

I love how you always greet the family pets!

[@jonnyvandijk]

Dawn and her knowledge of Somerleyton Hall is utterly fantastic!

[@tracyjane7724]

I came here to say this, too. She's wonderful and obviously loves the house and it's history.

[@laurieallen8040]

Lara is gorgeous. That painting is stunning.

[@cherylwood5202]

What a gorgeous estate! The color transformations in those rooms are amazing. That plate collection deserved to be liberated from the basement and shown to the world. Bravo!

[@Yoliplanting]

They should rebuild the Winter Garden because it was absolutely stunning and can bring them a lot of business. Julie thank you for this special tour. What a stunning home and lovely couple❤

[@Lethnion]

Thanks ever so much for making and sharing this video! - This place is pure magic and the family is uber kind and so welcoming. I love to hear about the history and their Legacy. It would truly be a dream come true to see this Castle in person. 😍🤩

[@jaanaviit3847]

Gorgeous colour scheme! Really warms up the space and makes it so cosy.

[@AmericanViscountess]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@nancybump6876]

There are no words! That home is stunning and beautiful. The Lord and Lady seemed very nice and well rounded.

[@carriehealth]

Im tearing up watching this. I feel like this was me living in a previous life. Such beauty. Where can an American find such a beautiful place like this to purchase? Is it even possible? I’m living in Naples Florida and it doesn’t speak to my soul like this does. Thank you! ❤

[@alexdifaso4776]

Go to England and find a rich man LOL Ill come with you . Actually in all seriousness France has some incredible properties for affordable prices.

[@janetdoten4489]

Would love to spend time in that library! So much knowledge and history just love it!

[@Jules-1770]

As an Australian living in Queensland, I've never known too much about "Winter Gardens". However, I thought that what is left of the winter garden at Somerleyton Hall was beautiful. When we saw the original drawings, I was amazed just how magnificent the garden had been. Thank you for a wonderful tour and I'm so glad the plates are restored to be appreciated; they look beautiful too.

[@melissaphillips3088]

These lovely old homes are truly treasures to be admired and enjoyed. Thanks Julie ❤

[@AmericanViscountess]

You are so welcome!

[@paulinewilson613]

What a magnificent home and how lovely to have all those pictures and history of how the house was in years past. The gorgeous portrait of Lara is outstanding.

[@moonfire41]

I would love to see that engraving brought back to life too. Of course the mansion and grounds are still breathtakingly beautiful.

[@hispid1]

Those Worcester plates are stunning. So getting a portrait done would make an excellent video series Julie ... just saying 🙂

[@AmericanViscountess]

Great idea!

[@shelleyhenley7414]

@@AmericanViscountess a slightly different collection would be so interesting by doing a series of groups of “marrying in” portraits would be both fascinating and informative, about why, who, where, and when, the portraits images represent. Clusters of groups in specific time sets, different locations/stately homes but portraits who lived at the same time or even where friends of acquaintances at that time. You could use extracts of your existing videos, etc, and pull together a new different angle on the female portraits.

[@Susan.I]

The plates are all so beautiful!

Can you imagine the cellar that the family must have to find those amazing plates in it? What else is lurking in the shadows of the cellar?!

[@christinajones3022]

I have the same blue in my office that is in the library

[@melissacoelho8413]

I have always had a burning question, it maybe because I’m an American and just have no idea. When the UK government and military took over these homes. They were well aware of what damage had been done. Did the government pay the owners back for the utter deviation they did? Or did they just say oh well and then charge exorbitant taxes? No payment for damages and no tax breaks for the owners.

[@jakecavendish3470]

My mate lives there, banging crib but freezing in winter

[@JBfromFL]

I've been watching your videos, and they are great! Thank you! Could you do a video about the occultism in British society? We know it is alive and well and we would very much like to learn more about the darker side of British lore. Something tells me that perhaps you would know a little something about it. Cheers!

[@Lethnion]

Hahaha after they said "It´s not a Crossley carpet" and Julie says then who´s this? -" It´s Juno" and I still thought they talked about the carpet @ 13:22 🤣🤣

After many years of practicing Yoga, Julie deserves to be painted full length, “In all her glory” as the kind Lara stated.

Julie, I love what you’re doing! I would love to hear a little bit more about how many rooms each of these estates have. And also when you have four children, how do you decide who the estate goes to or do all four children share the estate as adults?

[@gregorioeduardo]

Listen to Lady Crossley with your eyes shut and she could easily pass for " Lady Mary" from Downton Abby.

[@HopeDeee]

/subscribed Thank you so much for sharing--this was fascinating! Can I make a suggestion? When I tour old homes (which isn't very often, TBH), one of my absolute favorite things is learning how the "other half" of these great houses lived (ex. maids, butler, housekeeper, valets, gardeners, etc.). I would love it if you would feature some of their history, living spaces (rooms/lounges), and working spaces (kitchen, pantry, etc.) as well. The contrast is typically very stark, but super interesting none the less. Cheers!

Where are we going!😊

[@iandanforth]

Painting over oak paneling and carving should be a punishable offense. 😭

[@CatherineBeaumont-l7x]

The paint can be removed and will, if done correctly, protect the wood. People should be able to live in their homes and love them in the way that makes them happy. The yellow is gorgeous, in my opinion.

[@annehunt787]

@@CatherineBeaumont-l7xI like the yellow as well. It brightens the room and probably helps their mood during dreary English weather days. Some of these great homes have such dark rooms that I would find it depressing.

[@actuallyfrankie]

It's a home. Homes should be lived in, and whatever helps it be more liveable I support. There are homes given over to the National Trust as museums anyway if one needs to see a fully preserved specimen. Also, goodness, the yellow still looks period: very Regency!

[@Amishland_Chateau]

There must have been a different way to lighten it up and keep the wood grains….😢

[@vickiweaver]

Is Lord and Lady a title like Earl and countess

[@ellenjonasson94]

I think lord and lady is more a name for anyone within the aristocracy, not it's own title. Could be wrong though, someone please correct if needed!

[@annehunt787]

Lord and lady is how you would address a Marquess and Marchioness, an Earl and Countess, a viscount and viscountess, and a baron and baroness. I put them in order of descending rank. The highest rank of aristocracy is a Duke. A duke and Duchess would be addressed as “your grace”.

[@Earl-vo7gf]

What's on the second story?

[@LostInSC]

I found your channel several months ago and have binged back episodes, loving each one. Though I would absolutely love not hearing music while people are talking. I’ve had difficulty distinguishing the human voice from surrounding noises all my life. Being southern American, the British accents add another level of struggle. Please consider removing music behind people’s voices

[@lkuffer]

Painting the 17th century carved oak frieze and oak paneling of the Oak Parlor white and fluorescent yellow, respectively, is a crime. Horrible.

[@florentinalily]

thanks so much for the vlog.. bit irritated by talking over people and interrupting whilst they are talking; its just so manic..

[@grabir01]

Overly ornate. Too busy. Get over yourselves.

[@annehunt787]

WOW! One might think you’re jealous.

[@paulavalentine242]

It just reflects the style of the times and incredible workmanship of the artisans. It’s not a style that would be used today.

[@kismit100]

It’s Victorian get over yourself educate yourself

[@pipmurray1419]

I think it’s beautiful,…..we are all allowed different opinions and taste. It’s a shame you felt compelled to express your taste out loud, offending not only the original builders, owners , interior decorators, but also us viewers who I’m sure out weigh your loud thoughts. Others who may agree with you, are mannered enough to keep their thoughts silent and I thank them for their restraint 😊

[@carylgrundy7814]

Why are you watching? I love these homes and am grateful for the videos. I will never travel to England, but this is the next best thing for me.
