    He was a conservationist before it was "cool". What a lovely man. He truly is a national treasure.

    I loved learning about this wonderful man. How incredible to have so many trees, both old and ancient, with their history documented. The planting stones are fascinating.

    Great idea having the trees date stamped. Tiny acorns transformed into magnificent oak trees. Thank you for your conservation work 💚❤

    I just love 1508 videos and their history. Thank you for vlogging this information about your home and history. I enjoy seeing the history, things, and rooms in your home. I love all the details you are fixing. I really loved the china room vlog and all the repairs you guys are going to try to do. I wish I lived in Great Britain so I could help out in any way I could! Till next time! Have a super weekend!

    I have to visit my heritage site Croft Castle before I pass. While I am in the UK I would also like to visit Althorpe. Apparently back in history the Spencers were friends with the Washingtons who were distantly related to the Croft family by a common Welsh grandmother daughter of Owain Glyndwr.... It was a small world then. I will make this final trip back home from Australia. Love your beautiful land in Althorp and cherish every inch. Many kind regards ....C Croft

    He was either the conservationist at Althorp or in some really cool rock and roll band.
    Lord and Lady Spencer are lucky to have him and his knowledge and expertise.
    We are only simple caretakers for the next generation.

      Funny that you say that, as I immediately thought he looked and sounded like Ginger Baker.

    Just Beautiful and so interesting ! It reminds me of Nelson Henderson quote “ The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.”

    What a wonderful channel! I hope you won't stop posting ever! A similar channel, Highclere castle's, stopped posting on UA-cam and it's really a pity! These estates are very rare and a treasure too! Very movie like!

    Being a bit of a polymath is what it takes to do a thorough job at this estate. All that time managing the estate's annals must make one feel like a proper fixture of that place.

    In the UA-cam videos I've been watching a lot have been dealing with forest management. They're getting dead trees & dead branches on the ground off, removing the roots of the vines that strangle the trees, etc. I was surprised at the amount of trees people are losing because of those vines!

    I just finished re-reading ‘The Forest’ by Edward Rutherfurd- it was a delight reading the stories wound around the oaks and their passage through life over generations.

    You should get something to wash those stones, clean them up. There are people who volunteer their time to go into cemeteries and clean the stones up. They look like new!

    • @karenspencer5360
      @karenspencer5360 Рік тому +6

      Actually, we do maintain them and have them on a rolling restoration program but we can’t scrub them completely as they are home to important lichen. You’ll learn about this on an upcoming episode!
