RESTORING a 500-Year-Old CASTLE KITCHEN to Its Former Glory | Athelhampton

[@berndhoffmann7703]

3:36 I screamed! I am living in a 1950's house and the perception of my neighbours are that I live in an "old" house, even when I have natural materials like wood, glass & stone, etc. and they have just artificial plastic, but hey ho. As that guy has said "the modern part of the house was build at Elizabeth I time", I had to celebrate him!!!!

[@SweetOne.]

Giles is my hero restoring that kitchen, not many left and he has a restored functioning authentic kitchen. Thank you Julie I look forward to seeing part 2.

[@rhondamartin3575]

Hello! I'm not sure if you've seen it or not, but the 2nd video is about the Net Zero Castle! It's quite incredible ❤! Then, there's going to be a 3rd video regarding the ghosts that are there! That one hasn't been released yet.

[@SweetOne.]

@@rhondamartin3575 Oh thank you for this information - I will have to go look for 2nd video on Net Zero Castle.

[@RubyTuesdaysVintageHome]

Catching up with your vlogs so lovely to see this kitchen renovation thanks for sharing ❤

[@antoniaswift3995]

Julie this was fantastic. What an amazing place, love the linen fold paneling in the dining room! Thank you.

[@fernlibra9737]

Can we please incorporate a meal from the archives from every house you visit I loved that! And I love your garden to plate meals at mapperton!!!

[@leahhandlifestyle]

I'm such a fan of the new filming style. What an absolute beautiful tudor kitchen. It seems new windows are the the theme of the week. I thoroughly enjoyed the episode

[@AmericanViscountess]

Thanks so much!

[@wendiunrein8802]

So did I and I love when you add your commentaries! An interesting show! That kitchen was amazing!!!

The kitchen was beautiful and so interesting to see what one looked like and how it worked. But the great hall!! Wow! The hammered beam ceiling and stained glass! What a gem. Thank you and Giles for letting us see. Looking forward to more.

[@beverlysnow9315]

What a fabulous restoration of the Tudor kitchen! I love that it was the first major restoration on the estate. The multiple fires for each pot is fascinating. Thank you!

[@AmericanViscountess]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@stevenchrisco4641]

Such outstanding architecture!!!! ✨😁✨

Love, love, love seeing these amazing master pieces!! TY Julie!!

[@tylerironside3915]

Julie is so knowledgeable she’s definitely done her homework.

[@MDWJS]

I never get tired of hearing the many stories and getting to visit inside of these historical homes ❤

[@mobetta3456]

OK, so what kind of babies do they have when an ape marries a unicorn? The Elizabethan kitchen is fascinating. The carved wood and archway ceiling in the Great Hall is breath-taking !!!

[@darlenechandler2403]

I find your videos so interesting. And I get the impression you are the real deal and centred and have adapted so well all these years in the UK. You are so refreshing and enjoy your life values. Just wonderful

[@HappyLife693]

This may sound silly, but I don't know how Julie didn't dance with joy when she walked into the kitchen. I would have been so ecstatic, I probably would have jumped and dance with glee. It is so remarkable. The chef working in the kitchen was superb. I can imagine the fresh smells coming from the herbs she was cutting.

[@trevorgwelch7412]

" Stately Grandeur " and the castle is nice too . ❤

[@victoriasanchez1111]

Julie you are my happy place on KZbin! You bring me positive joy! Thank You!

Hello 👋 how are you doing?

Wow, wow, wow! 🎉 The food, the house, the restored rooms and the company, top notch episode! Thank you for sharing this gem, what a wonderful way to spend a day. Looking forward to the next episode! ⚘️🌿

Tudor pottage (vegetable stew) recipe: 1. chop a cup of: turnip, onion, parsnip, carrots, pepper, 2. add a cup of pearl barley (or oats) & cook for 10 min 3. add chopped leak, cabbage, mushrooms, herbs (rosemary) and cook for 10-15 minutes

[@paulaharris4667]

I do want to make this recipe!! 🤗🇺🇸

[@juliecarey1958]

I loved watching this , it is fantastic to see the care , detail and history of this kitchen intact , in new ways. I liked the feature of serving windows one for in and one for out to assist in decreasing any sort of kitchen confusion . To add the side cooking area with with the illusion of how they would have cooked for so many peoples and needing many pots , I imagine .

[@Jormariemcconnon]

I love the new filling style. Truly superb. Secondly your table etiquette when eating at lunch was so good but I can still tell you have that American edge and I loved it and I just want to say never lose that. England is like a second home to me but I’m proud to be an American. ❤

[@tanyapowell8577]

That kitchen was amazing! I’ve seen Hampton Courts Tudor kitchen, but this smaller more intimate version was delightful to see

[@juliaelrod2154]

Just glorious. I love that the owners of these great houses are dedicated to their restoration and upkeep. They are standing still in tribute to all the people who lived during it's time. To think of all the history they've witnessed. The wars they've survived. They are amazing. Thank you. 😊

[@barbarahand4312]

Absolutely loved this episode and seeing the Elizabethan kitchen in particular!

[@pheart2381]

What a wonderful thing to restore the kitchen to its original state. Almost visionary.

[@ltlwlwl5057]

Such a lovely man. I'm glad people are taking an interest in their heritage. Now, that soup looked like someone just cleaned out their fridge and cooked everything. They both tried to oversell how good it tasted....

[@donnabaardsen5372]

That Tudor kitchen is absolutely fascinating. I can actually picture cook's from that period, cooking for the family. It would be wonderful if this kitchen could be preserved as the treasure of history it is. Of course some modern touches are necessary; however, hopefully without removing historical details. The Tudor stew looks scrumptious. Especially knowing its ingredients were locally sourced.

[@mariaxenitopoulos4790]

Julie you have a unique and personal way of delivering such fascinating information regarding your subjects and this did not fail. I can’t wait for the next episode. 🇦🇺

[@Alex100087]

This is one of the most creative and inspiring restoration projects I have ever seen - its amazing how ancient features of Athelhampton, long since disappeared, have been magically recreated so we can experience and enjoy them again so many centuries later! Simply awesome! Brilliant job Giles and superb episode Julie!

[@rushiaskinnerwallace6175]

This is absolutely thrilling to watch. I LOVE that kitchen. And could we get that recipe for the Tudor stew she is making?!?! Yummo. 😊 Edited to add:I just saw the recipe link! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Looking forward to digging into more of vids. This is so fun. I’ve been rather obsessed with all thing UK for a few years now. 😊

[@lynnjohnston8048]

Is the long white open stove kept going by a real fire? I’ve never seen a kitchen like this before it’s really interesting. Love how the new home owner is restoring his home and the kitchen. So interesting!

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

WOW just WOW. Such a beautiful historical home. Love the Tudor kitchen. Thanks for taking us along 😍😘

Are you going to show the sitting room, bedrooms, and other rooms along with the gardens in your next episode? ❤️ I miss your opening Title music and you leaving in your car! ❤️!

[@lisaharrington6488]

Wow! Wonderful to see a Tudor kitchen in full working order. I am wondering how long it took the head chef to get used to working there as opposed to a more "modern" kitchen? I can't wait to see more of Athelhampton and all of the new innovations. Thank you, Julie!

[@AmericanViscountess]

Thanks for watching

[@kristyhand6209]

LOVE IT JULIE. THANK-YOU TO GILES AND GEMMA. THE TUTOR POTTAGE LOOKS AMAZING! ❤❤❤

How wonderful. So nice he has a chef as well. Loved watching Julie . What an amaxing man. Cant wait to see the next episode. X

[@waltercook4868]

Thrilled to see Athelhampton! Time to Time with Maggie Smith was filmed there. I always wondered how much was actually depicted in the film. The great hall definitely was. Time to Time was based on a LM Boston book. Her house is one of the UK's oldest Norman houses - Hemingford Grey. It might be a good house for you to visit with your program.

[@eringemini7091]

Aloha Julie! Athelhampton like Mapperton is an amazing treasure! What a gorgeous ceiling & kitchen it has!

What a fantastic episode julie .

[@jampuppy]

Spectacular kitchen! I remember seeing a fireplace like that one as a child and always wanted one in my kitchen. Could you have Giles send his peeps to Michigan to see if there’s one hiding in my wall too? 😂 All that handiwork throughout the house. Astonishing to think how much collective expertise went into a single room, not to mention an entire estate!

[@underwaterdroneservices7292]

And without a single power tool in sight!

[@PieterBreda]

Right. A modern extension from 1600. That man has a sense of humour. Nice house. Not so large that is becomes scary. That kitchen is brilliant

I googled Keating before watching this episode so I know the "surprise" and I won't spoil it. Suffice it to say he found a way to eliminate heating and gas bills of 50,000 pounds per year (and more at today's prices). Also, I was wondering why he didn't buy the previous owner's furniture which was sold at auction but now I see why. I love the way he has decorated it.

[@underwaterdroneservices7292]

In my 20s I worked midnights (12-8am) and never wanted to miss a daytime English series (I'm in Barrie, Ontario, Canada) of an older woman, with a sweetheart young assistant, that recreated the authentic gardening, cooking and presentation of aristocratic meals in some English castle (I think always the same castle). It was so good but have never seen it replayed. I think it would be very popular now. There was a more recent similar series of two women who road motor bikes going to different locations which was good but not nearly as good as the former. Athelhampton looks like an amazing place though I think the kitchen is not really too authentic looking (may not be the intent). It's a beautiful kitchen but would likely (I think definitely) have barrels and bins of cooking ingredients around with tools and pots and pans and cauldrons etc. as a real working kitchen.

[@Susan.I]

The windows will be beautiful!

[@janekwiecinski305]

How do you cook in a restored Tudor kitchen? Given modern sanitation requirements, you obviously can't cook as you would have in Tudor times. The pottage may have been served on pewter, but pewter has lead in it! The pottage was cooked in stainless steel, and I doubt that was placed over a wood fire. So I must ask: Where is the fridge? Oven? Sink? A dishwasher, perhaps?
