I am a retired librarian in the US and would love to see a feature on interesting libraries in historic homes. Books that are old are not necessarily rare and vice versa. What did people collect that's unique or extensive on a given topic? Thanks 😘

[@inthiskingdombythesea7683]

This is such a great idea. I would love to see this too.

[@nadeansimmons226]

Me too. The archives and libraries have such interesting treasures in them.

[@waltercook4868]

I too am a retired librarian. I would like to see books that were forbidden and hidden away in the past.

[@gloriajacobson782]

I would love that also. I love books and every time I see bookshelves like you had behind you, I would love to know something about the books on those shelves so please consider this for a topic. Thank you.

[@melissacoelho8413]

What a wonderful idea.

[@1lavishone]

I love this idea of covering houses with specific topics. Royal connections, ghosts, servant lives/duties (in particular showing how things used to be done with old equipment/techniques) are all very interesting subjects. It might also be interesting to do a show on architects or architectural style and craftsman who built and crafted the houses/castles you include. Thank you for sharing this marvelous content! 🌷

I love knowing or learning how people lived in the past in their old houses, both upstairs and downstairs. Cooking, cleaning, eating, dressing as well as hobbies.

[@saiganeshdeekshita383]

Hii from India ❣️❣️❣️

[@risalangdon9883]

Love the idea. However, if you are only going to do two episodes per historic house, I hope they will be longer videos. Otherwise, I don't think it will do them justice. And yes, the attics & basements/cellars and outbuildings are extremely interesting. As well as their gardens of course.

[@juliawoodhead4879]

What a brilliant mix, houses, servant life, attics, stories, royals and Julie. Perfect combination.

[@lourdesylagan8835]

It would also be nice to see how if one were to come visit one of these castles/historic homes, how and who would we contact? Julie's way of expressing herself is such a gift in that she not only leave any stone unturned, but her content building keeps you coming back for more. Thank you, American Viscountess!

[@carrieleslie903]

Some topics: gardens; significant historical events tied to castles, manors, houses; accomplished women; seasonal fare (Christmas decor in various locations); wildlife; furnishings; cooking / food preparation over the years; architectural advancements; reconstructions / renovations; celebrations, balls, festivals, etc.

[@railiedouglas3018]

I hope you’ll include the gardens in your exploration of these historic homes because some you’ve mentioned have superb & very beautiful gardens.

[@KasSommers]

I’d like to see a map of some kind when you visit houses, so I can get a spatial awareness. How close it it to London, to the borders, to the sea? We map nerds would appreciate that.

[@elisabeth6108]

Sounds fascinating. Definitely interested in "downstairs" lives. Also how estates worked in the "old days", what their components were. Some dives into specific architects would be interesting (following their career thru several houses) or a similar progression on the development of successive architectural styles. And a similar review of the evolution of garden design. Overall, as I read back over my comment, I would find historical context and evolution of interest, understanding how the houses were used, how the community that supported them worked, how they evolved.

[@patriciabaughn4749]

I would love to find out more about the families who have lived in each of these homes and discuss the improvements/ changes putbin place by each family

[@camrobn]

So looking forward to this. I’ll never get over from the USA so this is the next best thing. Bless you all.

[@etholleg]

Absolutely love the idea of this format. It would be interesting to hear more about the special books in the historic libraries too and how the staffing has changed over the years

[@FallawayCorte]

I took a two week class at Oxford University through the Smithsonian in 1985. We visited Chaselton House, which had untouched Jacobean Architecture and decor. This home is now a National Trust property. I hope that you will visit this location as an example of the architecture and how the lack of funds can impact maintenance and repairs. This home obviously had an impact on me, since I clearly remember visiting all of these years later.

[@afrisbee7695]

Love the new concept. Exploring the historic houses and adding additional content 👌. Especially like attics, ghosts, film and upstairs/downstairs. Honestly, I was a little concerned when I learned of the special announcement today. Also, nice to see Luke with you.

[@talesfromtuscany]

I love how your channel has emerged from quite a simple, "beginners"style (at the start) to becoming quite grandiose and incredibly professional!

I'm excited to learn about the ghosts. I worked at Colonial Williamsburg for nearly seven years, and my coworkers and I each had our own ghost encounter stories. One in particular visited me at work frequently and was quite mischievous.

[@DanielleGlick]

I would love to hear your personal stories! I visited there a few months ago and did a night ghost tour, which was rather disappointing with very old hearsay "ghost stories".

[@GrandDuchessAniya]

@@DanielleGlickI would tell people to skip the ghost tour if they were expecting to see a ghost. It's fine if you like to hear ghost stories and want to see where they have been sighted.

[@smculinary7413]

I’m delighted to hear about the new format of your channel, Julie! Touring the castles and estates on your list will be fascinating to watch. Glamis Castle is very special to my husband’s family being part of the Lyon lineage. We haven’t toured the castle yet, so that episode(s) will be of great interest to us! Thanks to you and Luke for sharing this exciting news with your viewers!

[@sallyannc3176]

Glamis is a lovely place - we used to live north of there in Aberdeen there and visited a few times. Family home of the late Queen Mother (Eliazbeth Bowes Lyon). People forget she was half Scottish. The ony home she ever owned - Catle of Mey in Caithness in NE Scotland - is also a lovely home (much less grand) but well worth a visit too.

'Sounds great you guys! Julie, I just loved seeing your visit to Pentille! The last I'd heard of that place was several years ago when the indomitable Ruth was whipping the family into line about starting the business...I'm so pleased to see that they not only made it, but made it beautifully! I'd love to see the current updates on the many country houses Ruth & co. helped to turn around their homes and lives.

I love this idea and am very excited for all the changes and future episodes of American Viscountess. A suggestion for an episode: The Kitchens of different historic houses! Mapperton's kitchen is one of my favorites so I would love to see the kitchens of other country houses and see if they have Agas too.

[@AmericanViscountess]

Thanks for the idea!

[@jeanroughley1126]

Will you and the Viscount be participating in the Coronation celebrations personally? I'd love to see you wearing that gorgeous tiara. Or would that be the honor of your mother in law? I'm fairly certain that there are robes to be worn according to rank as well. I'm an American whose Ancestry is British and I love all things British. My family are faily recent immigrants to the US (20th Century) and I'm in touch with many of my family in England. I'm old enough to have witnessed The Coronation in 1953 and although I was small I was mesmerized. I'm certain you will include many royal related topics in your presentations and I'm looking forward to that. Your channels are magnificent! Keep up the great work.

My mother was an inveterate knitter. I think as a mental health professional it was her way of blowing off steam, and she was also a depression era baby, that plays in too. Okay what’s my point?

It would be interesting to have an episode, or a series of episodes about these connections, like 'Who Do You Think You Are'?'

[@YourNextStep1234]

Please go in depth of the role the house (or it's owners) played in it's community at the time it was being built. What was the town's industry at the time, why did the owner choose that location, how did they support or contribute to their community at them time... I love hearing the house history but it's so much better to see the perspective of it's role in its larger community.

Such as, if you were hungry at night could you wander to the kitchen and get a cookie?

[@sweetsweetcandy3889]

I would love to see Historic Churches. I know many of the homes have their own Churches on the property and their are plenty of amazing Churches and stories in the towns and villages. You could most likely do a whole new channel on them.

Royal connections, upstairs/downstairs

[@relash3]

Silly me, I believe stories about the roads and how they effected the houses and the communities, would be fascinating.

[@mimaroo1431]

In my old hometown Hamilton Ontario, there's a grand house known as Dundurn Castle. Sir Allen Napier MacNab was Canada's pre confederation Prime Minister from 1854 to 1856. He also has the distinction of being Queen Camilla's great great great grandfather, through his daughter Sophia. In November of 2005, the King and Queen visited Dundurn Castle during a visit to Canada. The place is now a historic site and it offers many things, including children's birthdays. For my daughter's 11th birthday we had the "life as a maid" birthday party there. The kids got a tour and got to bake cookies in kitchen. The birthday girl got to dress up in period costume and they were told about the life of a scullery maid during that period. Considering that scullery maids were around their age, the girls all had so many questions and were utterly fascinated by everything. It was, hands down the best birthday party my daughter ever had.

[@victoriabroyles6467]

Yes! on the upstairs downstairs and rummaging through the attic - basement. I like another follower's suggestion on libraries too. And gardens of course. I often wonder if any of these great houses take paying guests. I was also thinking how Mapperton could be the location for more historic films. - A Georgette Heyer book into film would be fantastic!! In any case it all Sounds intriguing. Good for you guys changing it up a bit! > Thank you

[@jeffsilberman1239]

Would love to see the American viscountess come back to America and visit historic houses

[@DanielleGlick]

I actually liked your old format because it was so different than what other TV shows about historic houses have done. I think the main differences that make your show unique and enjoyable is Julie being a historic home owner talking with fellow historic home owners; no other show offers that *shared personal perspective*. And it was unique they let you sleep several nights there (especially the houses that aren't hotels). This allowed you to really get to know the place and people, and show it at different times of day and weather. Your series felt like watching someone reconnect with distant relatives, rather than a TV host quickly interviewing at multiple houses to create a series. So as you make changes, I hope these unique qualities will remain intact. The topics you mentioned, like ghosts and servants, are all interesting. I think they would be most interesting first told within the context of their own house's episode. Then when this season is over, you could do themed recap episodes, for example, reusing the ghost scenes from each house, with new commentary scenes filmed in your home to link all the houses' ghosts together. You could even show extended cuts that didn't make the individual house episodes. This would be a great way to get more episodes out of each shoot and tell these stories from multiple perspectives. :-)

Please take this as the loving, hopefully constructive suggestion it is intended to be…

[@Loops25]

I am very excited by this new direction! As you have asked for suggestions, I will pass along my own thoughts. My ancestors were residents of Glamis, the village, for centuries. I am interested in the connection of the castle to the local village, itself. One of my ancestors fought in the Battle of Sheriffmuir, presumably for the Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, in 1715. My ancestor could not be present at the baptism of his child, and it was noted on the baptism record that he was at, “Stirling since Sheriffmuir”. I, personally, feel that ghost stories, and the tale of MacBeth, often overshadow tangible history that could be discussed, about Glamis the castle and the village. In any case, I am looking forward to your new episodes!

Just read Katherine by Anya Seton, biographical novel of Katherine Swinbourne, long-time mistress & later wife of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. I'd love a series on an historical character & the homes they lived in as part of their biography. E.g. homes of John of Gaunt & Katherine Swinbourne, Queen Elizabeth I growing up at Hatfield, Prince Arthur (Henry VIII's older brother) at Ludlow. Some may be ruins now? But following a person through their homes as history unfolds would be a new dimension to their stories. BTW, I love Phillipa Gregory's biographical novels of royal women!

What do these other owners do? Surely 'family money' doesn't cut the expenses. Where do they get the funds to keep these magnificent places from crumbling? What a lot of work and thought I would imagine.... again referencing you and Luke.. Have great fun on your new adventure,, I will be gleefully tagging along with you.

Fantastic, so many great ideas. I love the concept and look forward to the episodes. You are a dream team, and I wish you many successes. A possible theme: Liberias, historical books, original manuscripts, handwriting and autographs. See me smiling :-)
