Saving Turner's House in Twickenham by @jonathanperp

[@patriciahadley2374]

Fascinating video! I have the deepest admiration for all the incredible work put in by this large team of specialists. The patience displayed in some of the work was mind-blowing. Thumbs up to the Turner's House Trust for letting us watch the process in restoring the house to its former glory.

A beautiful restoration by the many craftsmen and women who are not mentioned in the credits. Why are you Brits like this, all the public glory to the toffs who raise the money, and no acknowledgment to those who put their hearts, minds, and souls into the the actual material presence of the glorious building.

[@timtaylor8406]

Because the British craftsmen and workers know their place and keep quiet... always have done!

[@Janmification]

It is lovely to see such attention to detail, and the expertise of the tradesmen is a joy to behold. Well done to all.

[@jamiesherman8164]

Absolutely fabulous! Many thanks to all for their fastidious work.

[@timtaylor8406]

Beautiful beyond words... many congratulations and thanks to all concerned in this brilliant restoration...

[@michaelkither2620]

Excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail, the end result was worth every penny of the cost .Hopefully the building is open to the public at times to be admired

[@rowejon]

Superb, sympathetic restoration!

[@tjbren576]

I wish we Americans had the same level of love and skill for preserving and restoring our historic buildings - along with their stories. Well done!

[@andreaandrea6716]

Hear hear!

[@wendygarrity218]

What a beautiful restoration . I think Mr Turner would be very happy with what you all have done

[@lowesonia8551]

Congratultions to the perseverance of the Trustees. So Proud, that people still exist to preserve our Nations fineness artists homes, such as Turner's in Twickenham. By superb artisans, for whom I have the highest regard. An elderly English Lady who had spent her youth in and about Hanworth Twickenham Richmond and Kew. Now living in France. Thankyou for a wonderful hour spent among you all.

[@andreaandrea6716]

What a wonderful documentary. Delicately done and beautifully detailed. I love the recounting of all the trades and their importance... the brick work, the lime render, the moulds made, the wall paper, the paint colours, the dismantling of the stained glass sky light ... what a cornucopia of talents!

[@jasminespencer3992]

Wonderful film very well done

[@JLR1957]

I had the pleasure of visiting last year. Well worth it

[@susandellet7121]

Absolutely stunning Turner would be proud to see the exacting working to re-assemble this beautiful home

[@tallpojjy]

This is an incredible programme, so interesting. Thanks for posting it.

What a most amazing portrait of a house and its genius owner. “The Sun is God” JMWT.

Beautiful!

[@pamelahonakerlewis4707]

How interesting What skill & beauty in restoring this beautiful home.

[@davidfaulkner8201]

A beautiful little house and a beautiful job filming the restoration process . I have no doubt that Mr. Turner would be pleased with his house if he could see it now .

[@Storegga1]

🌀Perhaps the sacrificial lime render was to keep the water out of the brickwork. There won't be cavities in the brickwork. So it would have been prone to dampness. The lime mortar in the brickwork, "breathing" would have helped with dampness.

[@EdwinNikkels]

What an accomplishment! Hats off for all involved!

[@frederickbowdler8169]

Nice job Gary and the team!!!

[@kikim5507]

What an achievement. Super well done.Fine craftsmen all of you.Kind regards Blacksmith Filip Ponseele-Belgium

[@gordoneggleton6922]

Wonderful. I could live here

[@andreaandrea6716]

How strange! (@ 43:00) There's a scene that Ken Howard is painting... and I happen to have a tiny carved wooden half-bucket that hangs on the wall (a few inches tall) with THAT EXACT SCENE painted on it's side! It was my mother's ... she went to school in Switzerland in the 1920s. A bit of a shock to see it come to life. It's that exact scene from that vantage point.

[@JLgG2454]

Excellence

[@jelsner5077]

When can I move in?

[@annwags]

Love the choice of background music! And loved this little diversion from working on the taxes! (USA)

[@crossroadschronicles4647]

Love the channel

[@Sophia-zk3tw]

Was there one of his paintings in his home even if it was a print it would be nice to see the connection?

[@patboudotlamot]

magnifique renaissance ¡ superbe travail

[@JsgHair71]

The picture they found looks like Father Christmas, not biblical. Such a lovely sympathetic restoration. I wish Americans cared as much about preserving their historical sites.

[@colt1954]

The debate/study as to whether the house was stuccoed during Turners residence, is surely a more substantial no, given the strong evidence the brick projections shown in the early picture were not covered

[@eschaefer6512]

Amazing work. But, wasn’t the house originally in a white render not exposed brick? Or did i miss something?

[@robinfereday6562]

You missed something it’s all in the video if you watch it😳

[@patriciakeogh5008]

You obviously missed a whole section that explains why they went back to brick.

[@divaden47]

So sad to see that beautiful tree cut down.

[@lulubelle0bresil]

Great for Turner fans and architecture/conservation fans . WARNING LOUD TOOL NOISES mixed in with sedate voices. Subtitles are a good idea: wearing earphones is definitely a bad idea.

[@andreaandrea6716]

thank you!

[@goertz8939]

It's such a beautiful home. I couldn't help but think something was missing inside the house. I think there would be crochet doilies under the lamps on the furniture. I

[@derekstocker6661]

Wonderful restoration no doubt, the skill and patience that have gone into this work is wonderful. The end product of the outer walls does not however match the painting that was used to see how the house originally looked. Could the house have originally been painted outside, making it appear more akin to the original artwork used possibly if it was not actually rendered. In any case a great job by all concerned. Thanks for this.

[@pigoff123]

Such a shame you cut down some beautiful trees.

[@peterwalton1502]

It should be restored but what a load of pretentious narration.
