I thought she was going to say " For this story you will need".....(again)

[@paul1234maire]

I literally laughed out loud when I read this 😆

[@lisawillis8227]

👏👏👏👏 that was the best comment

[@authormichellefranklin]

Mrs Crocombe's ancestors just as entertaining as their descendent.

When Mrs Crocombe time travels. 🥰

No thanks.

Kathleen Hipperton is one outstanding storyteller.

[@watercressfabrique3333]

No offense but her name is Kathy Hipperson.

[@deionaamelia1362]

she is!!

[@user-ik7bb6ss3q]

Sometimes I forget that it's her name

[@lisawillis8227]

She really is.

[@edwemail8508]

Kathy Hipperson really is the best onscreen talent at Heritage. I always watch her videos. Brilliant!

[@stephaniescanlan5743]

So true.

[@lifeinrandom89]

Truly indeed

[@picantesworld7723]

I agree. I love her delivery. haven't been checking my subscriptions so I've been missing a lot of videos from all my subscriptions but I happen to look and this was one of them that came up. I love these stories 🙂

[@jaguar4120]

She is amazing. I love all her videos. 🥳🤩

[@troytakesphotos]

Why isn’t Mary Ann preparing the Rosemary?

[@prizmarvalschi1319]

Dysentery

[@Warhammered]

How much Rosemary will I need? Well. For this recipe you will need...*smiles*

[@laraonfire9797]

When you ask your medieval mum if you could have a shilling to buy a new ribbon for your hair, and she tells you this story.

[@Lil_Angry_Bitch]

British people must always let others know what they want. I can imagine the argument that couple had about what they really really wanted: Husband: "I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want!" Wife: "So tell me what you want, what you really really want!" It's just a whole lot of Zig-a-zig-ah.

[@leoc4177]

This comment is something worth EVERYTHING

[@TheRainyAsian]

I saw Kathy in the thumbnail while scrolling and just instantly hit play. She is such a wonderful and versatile historical interpreter

[@jaguar4120]

I love her acting and delivery. 🥳 I click instantly. 🤩

[@WhiteNightFantasy178]

Love how you can tell by looking at the comments, that Kathy's fanbase is growing. I love her acting as well 🥰

[@helenel4126]

I thought Mrs Crocombe -oops- the rosemary preparer- was going to recount that the wife said, "well, husband, you're a good for nothing" and leave it right there.

[@okpo3669]

The last time I was this early queen victoria was still alive

[@mika9937]

I see what you did there

[@stafny1]

😂😭🤣

[@victoriamartines5030]

Was she amused?

[@xingcat]

"Honey, did you get the herbs I asked for?" "Well, I got rosemary, but by the time I got to the sage peddler, the day was over. Great story, though!"

[@ralang999]

Love seeing what Mrs Crocombe's ancestors got up to!

[@anonthe-third2367]

These stories are so great. Truly refreshing to hear tales from the past rooted in wit and ones I've never heard before at that. The deliveries are perfect, and it makes me feel nice and cozy during these rough times.

[@seoulv8427]

The thumbnail alone makes this video worth liking. Anything else will be the icing on the cake. The perfect cake that Mrs. Crocombe had made. Kathy is a truly gifted and charismatic individual who can truly bring a character to life.

[@carolhaycock7419]

As always Kathy Hipperson tells a wonderful tale. I love the way she brings history to life whether Tall Tales from medieval England or a cook in a Victorian Kitchen. Every time I see her in the thumbnail, I click and enjoy.

[@beautifulcolors7123]

“He had never seen someone so awful looking” absolutely sent me. I was not prepared in the slightest for that. 😂😂😂

[@erikastoddert2655]

Even while telling tales from long ago, Mrs Crocombe is still cooking.

[@christinethornhill]

Great ! For a few minutes I felt like a child again , listening to my Mum at bedtime , priceless 👵🏼❤️❤️❤️

[@deborahrochefort9794]

Excellent storytelling - I was on the edge of my seat, neglecting to sew the buttons in hand whilst I listened raptly. And though I know a great many folktales and medieval tales, I did not know this one, and am glad to have a new story brought to my ear.

[@indigothecat]

What I love best about this is Kathy is giving it her all. You can tell she loves what she does!

[@mika9937]

"and if you havent this absolutely senseless item within a week, I will take your soul as payment" --"very good"

[@kathrynmoore4071]

PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!! Do more of these tales!!!!! I absolutely love them, and the way they’re told!!!! Fantastic job!!!

[@miguelluis483]

I guess Mrs. Crocombe really likes to dress up and tell stories in the woods

[@Ishidori85]

Great, great, great, great, great, great Mrs Crocombe.

[@candicewiggins166]

I love story telling, it was one of my favorite things to compete in with our drama competitions.

[@shanemikovich8113]

I love this enchanting woman. She really makes the story come to life

[@JadeStrawberry]

Told very passionately, Kathy. Great job and glad the husband got to keep his soul.

[@kellylorang6845]

English Heritage - please, keep these tall tales coming! It is fascinating getting a peek inside the mind of commoners back in the Middle Ages!

[@CrazyTekeTeke]

these stories from histroy are better than the stories in my history book ....:D

[@breimalislobodnoime]

stories in history books are (in theory at least) supposed to help you orient yourself in time and place to be able to fully understand these stories. in practice we cram for tests and learn nothing at all

[@carrie.m]

The story was so good! I was completely into it! I miss hearing stories from people like that :C Storytelling is truly one of the highest forms of art!

[@NorthworthySagasStories]

I couldn't agree more Carrie M and we need more storytellers in the world.

[@GoldCatPrincess]

Lovely story. Thank you, Mrs Crowcombe and English Heritage! May we have another series of recipes cooked The Victoria Way?

[@zonmisty1231]

The wife improvising on the spot came in clutched

[@telemachus53]

English Heritage you're on to a winner with your conception of bringing from the past recipes, tales and characters. And Mrs. Crocombe is amazing whatever era you put her in.

[@jushiyan3036]

I just kept staring at the Rosemary.

[@allthingstbv8278]

i love kathy hipperson. she really embodies every character she plays and brings stories to life. the way she tells stories makes it so engaging, whether it's a medieval story or a little anecdote as mrs crocombe ☺️

[@marriage4life893]

If she could find a way to squeeze in, "I'm not bothered." That would be hilarious.

[@michaelhartmann6100]

My goal in life is to have the same English speaking abilities as Mrs Crocombe and her ancestors, such a serve milady

[@FearIsaLiar]

Your a very talented story teller.

[@DawnYarnDoll]

These are lovely. I am looking forward to hearing many more soon, if you please. Thank you kindly.

[@adlibby6448]

Delightfully talented woman!!

[@stargirl7646]

I forgot how much I enjoy storytelling!

[@WhatsCookingAtMomsKitchen]

Oh, ho h oho I love Kathleen Hipperton's style of storytelling! Hurray to Kathleen! I was truly entertained by these tales! What a way for me to be having a good long break from the hustle and bustle of the kitchen!

[@ESales0314]

Mrs Crocombe! You are badly missed! Spend as much time as you want in the forest or in the past but Lady and Lord Braybrooke are sorely missing your cooking

[@akemi5082]

Ms. Crocombe got them vintage outfits from her ancestors. LIT.

[@theresanovak4199]

Kathleen’s performances are always a treat, no matter the subject. What a talent!

[@LunaBug80]

Please , please ! Make more Mrs. Crocombe videos with new recipes!! I just love you Katherine and you act out the roll of Crocombe great!! I love your videos 🥰 Much love from this country girl in Ohio 🇺🇸

I adore this series, what wonderful stories and such a wonderful actress to tell them!

I had to do a double take when I spotted Kathy working as an extra on an old episode of Red Dwarf last night XD

[@whatgamesweplay]

content with what they had, but what they had now included a perfect knife :)

[@canucknancy4257]

A wonderful tale to listen to while crocheting. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@abbij6090]

Kathy is a treasure!

[@Danielle_nl]

What a great story! I love the way Kathy told it.

[@sofiabranco8544]

Thought she was telling my parents story in the beggining, especially after one of our appliances just died this afternoon👍🏼 What a great life we have

Absolutely. Completely. Utterly. Love this.

Wowwww So beautiful

[@feniak.9828]

Mrs Crocombe the greatest time travel of our times ❤️❤️

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

Fabulous job of storytelling, as always, Ms. Hipperton. I usually use a small handful of fresh minced rosemary to make about 10 servings of stew.

[@mattsimon8352]

I was amazed by the story! I will surely watch the other episodes. My friends will be entertained If I tell this story to them.

[@foxxielane2196]

Our modern era lust and greed for the "PERFECT" item, the Devil is among us.

[@francodominguez3053]

I wish I had a book with these stories.

[@psammiad]

Arguing about what you want vs what you really need, that's something a lot of people will sympathise with.

[@sephorasagredo]

Oh... My.. God. I am in my happy place right now. Please tell us more stories, Kathy!!!

[@HomesteadTessie]

Oh I just Love this video !

[@laurametheny1008]

Thanks EH and Kathy. Fantastic story! Be safe!🙏🇬🇧😊

[@safinatulaula7318]

I see mrs. Crocombe in the thumbnail, I click it without thinking

[@lisawillis8227]

I can practically smell that rosemary being crushed,

[@v1de0gamr23]

If he wanted something worth nothing, I would have given the peddler my opinion on the knife.

[@MuseAndDionysus]

Such an eloquent way of speaking. extremely well done and very entertaining. Applause to you

[@jockjammer3443]

Huzzah! Well told dear lady! Rosemary is not my need today. How much Lavender have you? I have a moth dilemma.

[@bellabambina1184]

11 people didn’t realize mrs crocombe time travels

[@MariaMartinez-researcher]

(An empty jug contains air, which is very valuable. Seemingly the devil forgot his science. 🤣🤣)

Wonderful storytelling.

[@harmonyqueue]

This is one of my favorite videos. I love the story.

[@ceciliaspears161]

I adore your stories! I'll also need all of the rosemary. 😁💕

[@GoldCatPrincess]

I'm content with my Blessings. Thank God I am. When is Kathryn going to be offered her own TV serial? She is a wonderful actress. I hope English Heritage know they have a lady who could be a huge star one day, if given the right opportunity.

[@bellahayden5275]
