What I enjoy about this series is George's gleeful participation - not just as host and narrator, but that he is not above getting his hands dirty or lending some muscle when needed. Not to mention artistic contributions, like stenciling stars on the ceiling! So sorry to hear of Jackie's passing in 2017 - I hope she had time to enjoy the fruits of her labor!

[@lpalacios1]

I love when they listen to George’s ideas.

[@robertahubert7474]

The restoration was beautiful but the love and commitment between this couple is even more beautiful.

[@LowEarthOrbitPilot]

Then they should make the commitment to marry each other rather than co-habitating.

[@nancyn347]

@@LowEarthOrbitPilot Why? You think a piece of paper changes things?

[@NorwayT]

What a beautiful restoration & couple. It breaks my heart to find out on Brixham Chamber of Commerce's homepage, Jackie died in 2017. You can read the eulogy on their homepage titled" In memory of Jackie Robinson" dated Feb 10, 2017. She obviously made a strong, positive mark on the town before she passed on, age 56. I hope and pray her husband, Neil Worrell managed somehow to get over that tremendous loss.

[@littlepiggin]

Such a beautiful transformation, especially that ceiling! What a shame that Jackie passed away in 2017, my heart goes out to Neil

[@32446]

Oh that’s so sad. I hope the building brings him some comfort with the happy memories.

[@nancyn347]

I've seen a lot of these shows, and I have to say that this restoration is the most stunningly beautiful. What a lovely couple, and great episode. Thanks!

[@mariansmith7694]

George is such a wonderful, caring and genuine man. ❤

[@patricksalta283]

One of the BEST episodes of Restoration Man. Gorgeous couple!!!

[@HollywoodCreeper]

I think if the show didn't pump them up and instead questioned how the build was affecting their relationship, you wouldn't be saying that. They seem nice though.

[@mpalmer7800]

Am just obsessed with these restoration projects... I can’t get enough. Beautiful beautiful buildings with awesome ppl

[@lupodisol]

This program, thanks to Mr. Clark was touching and beautiful. Bend, Oregon USA

[@s.e.fernandez4002]

I actually teared up when the image appeared on my computer monitor of the completed . . . Masterpiece! It is absolutely magnificent! Well done! Living in the U.S.A, we have such a very short history and very very rarely do I encounter a building or church with British or European influence. Consequently, the Home & Garden "The Restoration Man" series is what I enjoy watching. This restoration is undeniably one of the top 3 or 4 masterpieces.

[@tomjoad1363]

On the other side, you have housing made of wood who did not evolve much since 18'th century that allow you to rebuit more easilly than us, europeans. US wood worker do still have the skills to repair or rebuilt an american house. Stonemason who could redo a gothic church are ay harder to find. ^^

[@mysticalsister]

The creativity and dedication of this couple, and their genuine love, was so inspiring and beautiful that I will watch again and again. Loved George's reaction, too. It matched my own.

[@tjm00000]

Absolutely breathtaking! What impeccable taste they have! This has got to be one of the most beautiful houses that I have ever seen.

[@riasidabutar372]

I am touched by the spiritual ingredients in this restoration and the significant value driven process which emanate the power of God's love and blessings. May Neil and Jackie stay true to each other

[@jeanetteshawredden5643]

Jackie died in 2017.

[@indirakuriyan9366]

Beautiful couple, awesome building! And George Clarke is more than just an anchor. Love watching him, his good heart is expressed all through his videos. And, I rarely compliment in this fashion!

[@130crowd]

Hands down, the best project, the most charming couple, the most inspiring accomplishment. Truly moving. Thank you.

[@Tilly-bd4hc]

Wow! I am speechless!!! One of the greatest transformations ever!

[@rebeccabrockway8258]

I can't fully express how much I enjoyed this episode! The seaside town is picturesque and full of rich history. Neil and Jackie are lovely people, and their Fisherman's Church is exquisite and magical in every way. To live in Fisherman's Church is my idea of heaven. Blessings!

[@svietka202]

this is the most incredible and gorgeous restoration that u have featured up to now. stunning!

[@angeladavis7081]

Absolutely beautiful. You have restored this old church to its former beauty, even better than before. God Bless you both.

[@johnblakeH]

I hate the word "stunning", but it's really the only word that describes this restoration. The architecture, the modifications, the decor make a "stunning" whole. I've watched nearly all of the The Restoration Man episodes, and this one by far has my favorite result. May Neil and Jackie spend many happy years enjoying the fruits of their labor.

[@b_uppy]

The word 'stunning' exists for a reason. You're just tired of its overuse/misuse...

[@janebaldry3111]

Thank you for relating this beautiful story.

[@alexanderbeitinger1853]

This was the best Magical Transformation yet..... & George Clarke really makes the show the best! Hats off to George!!!!!!

[@mayradell3953]

George, what an accomplishment and what a vision!!! This is one of the most beautiful restorations I have ever seen. It makes me cry...

[@thomasspainhour1112]

I really appreciate these restorations and the families involved. Thanks

[@mayradell3953]

I love the enthusiasm that people bring to restore, convert, transform, rejuvenate ancient buildings in the quest to preserve history, architecture, communities, art, craftsmanship, and revival. What a great job you all do !!!!! What a great show to say the least. I love it

[@abbybennun5615]

Aww. Lovely. And i just adore george

[@Aby7799]

You got us addicted, and we want more!!

[@roselandmcguire9925]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@waynebrooks1632]

The transformation is so amazing and the lessons we can learn from all of projects that whatever we dream we can certainly achieve it.

[@32446]

Absolutely stunning.

[@pippapowling2306]

This was one of the most emotionally moving projects I've seen. Well done Neil and Jacquie! Stunning restoration and loving nod to the community's church and spiritual past. ❤

[@donnaallgaier-lamberti3933]

This is such a lovely story - a modern day fairytale between two people with a shared interest and a work of art they created that will last forever as a symbol of their love.

[@kimberlymcmurry9338]

What an absolute thoughtful design. Gorgeous!!!

[@robertkinkhorst5697]

Without a doubt one of the most amazing and beautiful restoration I’ve seen! Absolutely Brilliant!!

[@arlerayvette9285]

Such a great idea and the price two persons working together wow

[@mayradell3953]

What an absolutely gorgeous and we'll calculated work of art. It's breathtaking... Thank you for sharing such beautiful gift.

[@beenwandering]

this is STUNNING, absolutely my favorite of all the episodes I've watched so far. Oh my goodness. Just gorgeous.

[@emmalouie1663]

Very pretty. The archways and stone are beautiful. It came out very unique and that is a great thing. Such a good job they did. Only thing is I would have liked if the bedroom and lower portions had a bit more rustic wall showing through or something.

[@beverleebusch4161]

Wow! I must say that is my favourite renovation of all time! Excellent transformation--all the way through!! Divine!!

[@jenniferosullivan1222]

Great job love will overcome all.

[@elianamariano308]

Amazing ! Love it.

[@paulm2631]

Fabulous!

[@b_uppy]

Hopefully they succeed. These buildings have irreplaceable beauty. That skylight needs to open out for views and ventilation. Wanted to see more of the master bath. That house has to be worth a lot, now.

[@kreh1100]

Wow that's beautiful ❤️

[@JuiceMyRandomness]

What an absolutely adorable couple!

[@markallchorn2438]

Fabulous story. You've got to have a stout heart to see something like this through. Excellent

[@hutoxipatel3610]

This is one of the best transformation I have seen. In this budget u created a royal castle with a heavenly sky n star roof top. Marvelous beyond words God bless u both lovely couple with good health happiness n loooooooooong life

[@trishdelacour8746]

My favourite show to watch. Unbelievable how this old church turned out, what a beautiful space to live in. Besides the incredible space and light the colours are so vibrant they turn what could be dreary into a magical world.

[@jb7287]

LOVE the couple and both their commitment to each other and their dedication to the project ! ....decorating ....not at all.

[@veronicaalweisscoachingllc4133]

My favorite!

[@cindypoole6792]

George ALWAYS has such great ideas and suggestions. Should be ON SITE for any restoration. In case of a fire, how does one get out of the house besides the front door. Just beautiful!

[@pamellasmith2503]

I just found your channel a week ago and I can’t stop watching ❤️ your an amazing man

[@waynebrooks1632]

[@Saraseeksthompson0211]

It looks like a luxury hotel.

[@mariekiraly100]

STUNNING. This blew my mind.

[@perlitacardenas8067]

Wow! What an amazing transformation! Congratulations to the couple!😊

[@lindacarruthers3423]

perlita Cardenas , your name is so very lovely .

[@TheByard]

When they first said a 100 grand I thought yer double that, and was they completed on the best side of 200 grand. So very well done and what a renovation, but George missed a trick at the party by not having a church choir sing as a blessing.

[@lindafleming3907]

Sensational inspiring success and my absolute all time favourite! Well done George with the Marquis of Bute.

[@mountain4063]

Those glass floors! Amazing!!

[@sharon_shaw]

One of the most stunning n indeed magical transformations

[@bluebird5361]

I have just enjoyed this for the second time. Well done, All. I especially love that the church got its top back on that flat bit, and that window and the sudden vista. Are the spare bedrooms for tourists? I hope so. It needs to be shared, and now they can also be part of the community, seeing everyone was invited. Lovely true story.

[@debby8428]

Wow!! Just wow! Love this one!!

[@frednegus7017]

Work of Art. Cheers FJN

[@jagd52]

Absolutely stunning !!

[@bruceweigle7597]

[@lastlines09]

Oh wow, they have done a brilliant job.. it is truly fantastic, is awesome

[@maryjones8554]

Lovely happy couple x

[@vivalaleta]

Summer home when a great majority of people can't afford a single home is irritating but I love a church remodel.

[@br6480]

Originally when I first saw the pink trim I hated it but now that you see the whole thing with the panels being ombré, the stars and the red it’s absolutely beautiful.

[@anthonypaterson7066]

Awesome project. Beautifully expedited. May they live and enjoy for many years. Has to be in top 5 restorations.

[@jeanetteshawredden5643]

Jackie died in 2017.

[@saibliss7976]

Oh so beautifully done 👌💖💕

[@mbryan4964]

Amazing.

[@jewelssylva3738]

Perfection!

[@navia04]

The kitchen upper cabinets amonst other details were complete showstoppers well done

[@coolcpa3321]

Agreed. I thought they would give a bit more attention and time to the kitchen. It was fantastic.

[@denisea871]

Wonderful!

[@treasuresofchristtv4844]

AMAZING, Hope Niel and Jacky find Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. Good job guys.

[@maddog1918]

wow! that is crazy cool. Not my style or atleast I didnt think it was but I could definitely see living in that.

[@annescholl420]

I love it! ❤️💕

[@chuckmagee8212]

Fantastic job!

[@mo19702009]

Love it! Min 26.11 the castle... oh God! ¡Hermoso! Castell Coch´s drawing room. William Burges Architect. Thank you so much.

[@robertfay1150]

Wow so good thanks

[@elliest55]

Ah! See I was just on another video, with the couple that totally botched their budget in their church restoration and I was saying how the positioning of the kitchen and living space in that one was so wrong. This is EXACTLY the opposite and better than I could ever imagine a church conversion! Beautiful...That kitchen is heavenly.The glass floor feature is awesome. The bedroom is amazing. Everything just works.

[@roniquebreauxjordan1302]

Cool one 🐟🐟🐟🐟
