This is such a delightful and gentle exploration of the beauties of Beaulieu. My goodness, they've worked hard to repair, renovate and restore the estate - all whilst becoming the nation's preeminent motor car museum. We can only thank the family for their dedication and loving care. We're so lucky to have so many beautiful estates and so many hardworking families who keep them running. And, has anyone mentioned already how much Lord Beaulieu's voice is like Luke's? Must be those Montague genes!

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

I could listen to Lord Beaulieu’s voice all day. So soothing. Love his mother’s quilts/ tapestries. Such beautiful works of art. Such a shame the Abby was destroyed. Thanks for sharing this beautiful property 😍😘

[@KandeShack]

Julie, I’m amazed you haven’t taken on somewhat of a British accent! I’m from Minnesota and was in London for a month performing in the Daily Mail Ski Show at Earl’s Court. By the time I left I was saying “sorry” a lot as that’s what the Brits would say if they didn’t understand what I said.😊 Love your videos and love seeing you in Royal Family documentaries! You’re fabulous!

[@heathermartinez8640]

I always wondered what large manor homes did to preserve food before freezers. Found the ice house fascinating! We take way too much for granted.

[@Nightbird1914]

I am absolutely giddy over this segment! I have commented different times about my feelings about the abbeys and I am so happy that the Montague family has embraced the history. The spring house and ice house are fascinating. Love that they allow the monks to conduct services on the site. You tickled me Julie when your first thought was to take a dunk in the spring house water! And the glamping idea. The wheels in your mind always turning! It would be amazing to take a virtual tour walking the grounds and seeing it in it’s glory. Thank you for showing this.

[@nativetexson]

Fascinating. The history buff in me was geeking out. 😄

[@ellenwood719]

So wonderful! As an American, the age of the structures boggles my mind.

[@cherylbutler446]

The wall hangings are exquisite! Such treasures.

[@goldenineke]

I totally enjoyed this episode Julie. Thank you. I visited Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire years ago and the feeling that embraced me was intense and peaceful, so I understand what you meant when you said the same.

[@MaryMR59]

This video really moved me. The massive destruction that Henry VIII caused throughout England is horrible, all so he could get a divorce. And we think divorce is expensive now.

[@Wosiewose]

The whole kingdom had to pay for Henry's divorce, when you think about it...

[@CJLOVE72]

I had to miss the premiere of this video due to a wave of nausea n a slight headache but enjoying it now. I love Julie's take on history. If I was a student and Julie was the teacher I would be hanging on her ever word.

[@franduckydaddles]

I am 86 years old and I remember as a very young child the ice man coming to my New York City apartment with a big block of ice for the ice box. He would always Chop off a small piece of ice for my brother and my self to suck on. It was during the the second World War. I enjoy your Vlog very much.

[@nicholaspray7895]

Julie (which is my mother’s name) you truly live a dream. What I wouldn’t give to come over and help run any one of your enterprises. I can trace my ancestry back a few hundred years over to England, and I find it my home land. But you are such an inspiration and dream for a humble boy born in the states. If you do have an opening I’d love to come join you across the pond. I know my family would be very supportive of that venture.

[@Susan.I]

What wonderful out buildings,the ice house, the spring house!!

[@angelabatterman6381]

This was a thrill to see the Abby and that icehouse. All the information about the icehouse reminds me of the ice houses people had in the South along with root cellars.

[@wizzardofpaws2420]

It's so hard to fathom these great buildings in a giant empire being all ruins now. We all just imagine the glory and beauty of these churches Henry 8th destroyed.

[@jenjem5810]

So well done,Julie. Your true heartfelt respect for those that came before you is very moving. It is palpable. Most Sincere. You take it seriously to protect and preserve their legacy. They gave alot, and you support that being honored. Thank you.🙏

[@jillw892]

I'm so happy to see both of your channels taken off you deserve all of it I can't thank you enough for sharing. I share your Channel constantly. Sometimes people have a little bit of commentary but that's okay this is a world of free speech you have the right to say what you want but I've never heard a negative thing people just ask questions to me and such and that's okay I'm happy to research your videos and answer their questions you're absolutely awesome Julie 💯

Another beautiful adventure into history thank you for taking us along with you. Hello from Arkansas USA ❣️

[@01Lenda]

Wonderful content! Especially love the ice house! We have an old, preserved ice house, in Glen Rose, Tx, on the town square. The entire city used this ice house. What a wonderful treat to watch! Thank you Jukie and Lord Montague and your crew! 🌸🌿💕

What a wonderful episode, the Wall hangings are Magnificent. I love the story of the ice house. Thank you 💚

[@kathymcfarland5516]

Julie, your returning to the ruins to sit and contemplate the history, nature and life in general reminded me of the time while in the Glastonbury Abbey ruins, I got something in my eye while wearing my contact lenses. I sat down on a ruined wall, to see if I could dislodge the grit that seemed to be in there. With tears streaming down my face, it appeared to passers-by that I might be weeping for the murdered monks from centuries before. A couple of nuns walked by and saw me, and muttered a prayer. I didn't have the heart to tell them that it was a bit of grit that had caused the tears, but thinking later and now decades later, I wonder if that grit was 'sent' to make me sit and ponder as you recently did! This is a fabulous series! You are so lucky to visit these centuries old landmarks and we are so grateful to you for sharing the 'up close' views and personal memories of the current occupants of these wonderfully historic sites! Thank you so much! Looking forward with great anticipation to the next in the series!

Love all this history and the models of the Abbey.

[@patriciabaughn4749]

What an education on Beaulieu . so very interesting. Every time I watch one of these videos I feel like I learned a wonderful history lesson. Thanks!

[@jampuppy]

That plaque! And those tapestries! You know, before you mentioned the peace you felt, I felt it even from here! How amazing it must be to live on a property with constant access to that. Thanks for sharing another exploration of England’s complex and fascinating history.

[@jampuppy]

And by the way, you would be so bored living a simple life! 😂

[@samflower31]

I am so ready to explore the UK and all the incredible history there, but these videos will do until I can get there. Thank you Julie for sharing these stories and historic sites!

[@rachelpatten8889]

[@paulaharris4667]

Awesome video Julie! 💜🇺🇸

[@bunnymomjulie6719]

What an appropriate and gorgeous way to memorialize such an incredible place. I was so moved to see it. What a thoughtful family to keep this amazing piece of history alive in such a fantastic way. I would love to visit it too, way more than a car museum (sorry). I am wondering who is buried underneath. That would be interesting, but I wouldn't want them to tear anything up. Let it rest. Also, as a member of the Embroiderers' Guild of America, I am fascinated by the tapestries. Xoxo

[@alvick353]

Thank you one of your best videos. Has a very calming effect.

[@beckysharp5594]

Julie, I have just found you and feel like I won the lottery! I will be up all night catching up on every video you have done that I can find. You have a wonderful voice and "easy listening" style and all I can say is Keep Up The Good Work!!!!!! Your new friend from Tennessee, USA.

This was fabulous! Is Luke’s family related to these Montagu’s?

I want to know if Luke and his family live in the Montagu's house

Glad you like them!

[@justnerdystuff]

wow! I would love to just look at those wall hangings! It would be so nice if someone could take nice photos of them and put them on a website, so we can virtually see the artwork

[@jessaphillips2846]

I’ve recently found your channel and after watching some of the videos I really think you could start a tourism business taking people to some of these lesser known landmarks in the UK. You could write up the notes for each place from the videos you have made and hire some tour guides to take groups to see them. I know there are already plenty of tourism companies but I think these types of places would set you apart from the companies that just take people to the palaces and churches that everyone knows about.

Whrn you was inside the "ice house" talking about how they used the ice house, there was 3 to 4 orbs flying passed you two. The first one is about @18:29...

I don't think you will remember, but I mentioned that one of my favorite books takes place partially at the Abbey. Thank you for showing it and now I know what it looks like! If you want, the book is called The Forest by Edward Rutherford. I highly recommend!

Wonderful man😊

[@Juwlz]

It's wild how different life has become in such a short period of time. It honestly becomes mind boggling to think about, how much humanity has learned and created since this place was constructed. The fact that somehow, in the last 50 years, humans figured out how to create things like the internet, microchips, that we have smart phones and video and satellites, something that could have been technically created at any point, I mean, it's not like we were just given the things needed to create these things one day, the ability has always existed on Earth, people just needed to figure out how to do it....and with that industrialization and push towards technology and science, look how much we've learned and how much we know, compared to the people in the medieval times. They didn't know about evolution, didn't know about the big bang, didn't know dinosaurs once existed, I think that is why religion was so important in those days, humans have always craved answers and wondered what our purpose here was....as great as it is to live in a time where we have so much knowledge at our fingertips, it also must have been nice to NOT know, to be able to believe in things like God(s)

Hello from Washington DC

[@ladyangelaIII]

Julie, can the Abbey be rebuild?

[@waltham99]

Beaulieu much more than a motor museum!

[@farmkay]

Today watching this, I heard just how alike Lord Montagu of Beaulieu and Luke sound. I would like to know how close in family history Luke Montague (the future Lord Sandwich) and the present Lord Montagu of Beaulieu are. I do know they are of the same family, different branches hence the different spelling.

[@diannayager3893]

I find it very difficult to reading the subtitles with video very bright. Hard to read

[@kathyk479]

Have any of the Abby 's ever been rebuilt? To see what the babies were actually like during the mid-sized evil times? Also the eddies would have had catacombs. Right? Are they now buried!.

[@thewealduk9802]

Not all were destroyed, ie Westminster Abbey and there are still monastic communities in the UK.

[@dbeaulieu9730]

I've always wondered if there was a connection to my family as Beaulieu is my family name and I do know we originally came from France.

[@891Henry]

It wouldn't be a Cistercian Abbey without exquisite water engineering. They were famous for it.

[@dh40]

Julie ... Way too short 😥 Need an hour please ☺️

[@iggle6448]

When the Beaulieu series is finished I've decided that I'm going to treat myself to a whole day of binge watching them all together...and give myself a break from all the mayhem that surrounds us right now!

How on earth did this place come to be pronounced as "Bewely"? I have always wondered.

[@amethystanne4586]

Thank you for spelling out how the name is pronounced. I have read about British history since my teenage years, and remember really odd pieces of info. 2 pieces: Wasn’t there a church leader with the same name as this family’s, maybe from around Henry VIII’s time? I always assumed the family name had French roots, and was probably originally pronounced with a French accent, and over the years, was gradually changed to the current pronunciation? Also, at some period in the distant past, being French was not something to brag about?

[@joyfairclough4686]

@@amethystanne4586 I don't know about the preacher, but I'd guess many of these French names came with or in the couple of centuries after William the Conqueror. Some of them have taken quite the linguistic journey to be pronounced as they are today!

[@amethystanne4586]

@@joyfairclough4686 I had wondered about that. Words are funny things. Take my real life last name, for example. If I am picking up something from a store, I say my last name, and the customer service person says “What?” I’ll say “, like the color!” They say “Oh!.” I have a hybrid accent(New Jersey from birth-adult, and then 35 years of living in Kentucky). I just remembered the French church leader’s name that didn’t come to mind earlier…….Cardinal Richelieu. Is it pronounced Ree sheh loo?
