Always a pleasure to watch these two. The Earl, is a gentleman and the Countess, is very entertaining. They've obviously had a beautiful life here and have graciously passed the oversight to their son and his wife. I enjoy the tours. Thanks for sharing..
Oh my goodness they are just wonderful. As a fellow Anglican I just look up to them so much. And the Countess is quite a little evangelizer I witnessed in one of the videos 😉
Thank you! I haven't laughed like that for a while. Plugging the book and plugging the great minds of senior persons. Correcting some misconceptions of aging, brilliantly and with humor 🤣
Thank you Earl and Countess! And Countess you possess an encyclopedic knowledge of so many subjects and a mind as sharp as a pin with a charming wit to match!! Deepest Regards!!
Thank you so much again to the Earl and Countess for sharing their wealth of knowledge with us. I find it fascinating to not just hear about the history of the construction of Mapperton but also repair work and why it needed the repair work over time. There are so many wonderful stories from the families who have lived there that are wonderful to hear.
I enjoy your house history and architecture talks so much. You remind us that this is a house that has been lived in and loved through the centuries by many families. I also really appreciate the genuine affection you have for the home and each other.
I so look forward to seeing and seeing the Earl and his lovely wife the countess of Sandwich when they do their educational tours of Mapperton. I love the way they talk in great detail about everything. Because of my visual impairment and what is going on my eyes right now. I have to be careful and not strain my eyes. So I can't watch my even my phone for example or even the TV even though it's big enough. I have to instead close my eyes and let my imagination take over. Your mother and father are just wonderful for doing this because I can see almost everything in vivid detail. I hope Sunday when I do get to come and visit mapperton I will be able to meet them . With with much love ♥️and respect Bridget from Portage Michigan.🌹💜 P. S. I wanted to let you know that if words come out weird or strange I'm having a heck of a time with my phone right now. I'm also waiting to see if I can get some instruction on how to use a talking program in my computer which my phone has but it's not working very well right now.
Just ordered "The Book". Can't wait to for it to come. Would love to have the Earl and Countess sign it! I just love to listen to them. They are both so full of love for their home and each other. It really shows how much the truly enjoy being together. What a wonderful treat they are
Greetings from Ohio. The skill to envision and create those beautiful ceilings is mind boggling. Thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and history. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. I am now a new subscriber!
Earl and Countess you are a delight and I love all the history you give us about your lovely manor. A pleasure to know a little about your life there. Thank you so much!👏🏻💕
Such an enjoyable episode to watch. Your personalities compliment each other so nicely and made for an interesting and educational vignette. Thank-you for letting us view your lovely home. I love history and look forward to your next presentation. 🥳
Thank you for the lovely episode. Interesting how it all works together even though it was decades and centuries between. Also love your haircut Countess 😊
I absolutely LOVE hearing your parents talk about the house and items. How adorable! My husband's family, the Clagett's are a pre Colonial family from England to Maryland with much History and I find it fascinating to learn.
I adore the Earl and Countess! They are so full of information and history. They are a delight! Please pay NO attention to the person who said such a horrible thing about remembering things, they ar not worth the emotion! I look forward to more videos about your beautiful Mapperton. Thank you so much.
ABSOLUTE pleasure learning about the ceilings. I apologize for the one sorry soul who was rude about memory. Who does that? Please do not allow the one comment detract from the thousands who are truly grateful for your time, knowledge & hard work. We adore you all. It would be a real pleasure to see the dishes etc. Thank you from Ohio
Thank you, Lord and Sandwich for another fascinating video on the history of Mapperton. I hope we get to see more of them. They bring the history of the house to life .A lot of national trust guides I have had could learn a lot from Lord and Lady Sandwich.
I so appreciate both of your knowledge. One thing I would love to see is home movie snippets and photos from earlier in your marriage and from your lives before that.
I enjoy your wonderful stories and the beautiful gaiety between the two of you. As well as your handsome son and his lovely, beautiful wife, Julie. Incredible heritage. Hope to visit one day. Many blessings to you al!
Thoroughly enjoyable tour. Who better than the owners to convey the full story. Appreciation of a rolled steel joist! The sad history of the brothers-in-law! The drip from the nose! The buckets and more buckets. Crawling through the attic. The book looks fascinating.
Loved the in-depth tour! The 20th century ceiling fits so well alongside the 14th century ceiling. I am glad the house has benefitted from the loving care of owners over the years who have summoned the courage to crawl around in the eaves and rafters.
Always such a pleasure to learn more from the earl amd countess. I want to visit if only just to stop by a window, look out and mutter "hm... peasants" while no one is looking. No reason just for fun :)
Actually, you are both a wealth of information and so very interesting to listen to and learn from. Obviously some commenters are without manners and common decency.
Thank you both, very much. I look forward to your vignettes. Your home is beautiful, and there is so much history to discover! Countess, I would very much like to see the different Chinas, and learn about them. Ann in Canada
Really like this history about the ceilings at Mapperton. Very interesting. Such a pleasure to hear the history in each room from the Earl and countess. Thank you for sharing! ♥️♥️
Thank you for sharing, love learning about old homes & their stories they have tell. I’m 40 & forget stuff all the time so if you get something wrong no big deal. Cheers Kirk
I am so glad you enjoy doing the filming, because I love them (selfishly)! Anyone who comments on your memory must be very jealous, because your memories are astoundingly good! i will buy the book, and I want you to reprint more copies of Mapperton Moments, so I can buy them together, please! I tried for months to buy the latter, and got no reply. Maybe you don't ship to Canada? I could listen to the two of you all day, so please continue making more films. I don't mean really long ones, but lots of shorter ones.
Earl & Countess of Sandwich, it is a pleasure to hear both of you giving your subscribers a history lesson on all things Mapperton. I could not get over those ceilings. The time it took to do them. Detail...detail...detail. I am an 'ancient' history buff, but I was directed to British (English) aristocrats due to the vastness of history and some ancient history. I realize that Luke & Julie have taken the reins of Mapperton, maybe something could be planned for in the future (once this pandemic run its course) like..."Tea with the Earl & Countess of Sandwich". As an American, I would find that fascinating. As for that person who made a rude comment..."When the elderly die; a library is lost and volumes of wisdom and knowledge are gone." ~Dr. Bob Gray, Sr. Most importantly..."Don't regret growing older. It's a privilege denied to many." ~ Author unknown BTW, I did not see where to purchase the Mapperton book. Will that be in British pounds or American dollars? Another thing, will Mapperton be selling tea cups and saucers? I collect them (nearly 30 years). This is something else I would buy. Cheers mates, 🥰
Always enjoy the Earl and the Countess. They have so much knowledge of the estate. The ceiling they shared today were beautiful. ...Deborah, Kannapolis, NC, USA
I'm turning 50 this year and learning more about ageism. I'm sorry you had that nasty comment but it is a good time to educate people so thank you for commenting on it. I really enjoy learning about your grand home's history and its interesting features.
I'm so happy to have a new video with the Count and Countess! I Loved the video! It was very interesting and presented beautifully!! I would really enjoy a video on china with the Countess. Love from Vermont
I look forward to the Countess showing us their china. Does the Earl know who originally owned each individual set? (Are there sets from multiple families?) Thank you so much, Lord and Lady Sandwich from the Dakotas. (That is correct?)
This was wonderful to watch. You two are a joy to watch and I look forward to more videos with you both. I'm very excited about a discussion about the house china!
Mapperton is so lucky to have had so many people throughout the generations who have maintained and updated the home. Very interesting talk on the beautiful ceilings by the Earl and Countess.
Could do a tour on different family members? I would love to know more about a young woman in a portrait in the staircase hall by a door under the stairs? I think I have seen the same painting at Castle Coole.
Hello from Illinois. What a joy to watch you both! Your own stories, ie, about how you met, would be quite interesting. Also, I’d love to see more of the artwork/paintings.
What a wonderful treasure these videos are. I so much wish families would do this more often. Knowledge, in this age of technology, is much easier to capture and so few do it.
This was lovely. I would love to live in a house with so much history. Mind you, I wouldn’t want to pay for it but I would love to live in it. So thankful that there are people who spend their lives working to keep this history leak free and water tight for the rest of us to enjoy. Thank you.
Always a pleasure to watch these two. The Earl, is a gentleman and the Countess, is very entertaining. They've obviously had a beautiful life here and have graciously passed the oversight to their son and his wife. I enjoy the tours. Thanks for sharing..

i love them they are a lovely couple
The Earl and Countess are a delightful treasure.
YES!! Do the china series and would LOVE to hear about the coffee and tea cups, please!!!
The Earl and Countess are absolutely delightful ❤️
Thank you! I haven't laughed like that for a while. Plugging the book and plugging the great minds of senior persons. Correcting some misconceptions of aging, brilliantly and with humor 🤣
I always love hearing history from The Earl and Countess. It is like an extra special treat when they are on. With age comes wisdom.
Gorgeous ceiling! The Countesses is a lovely woman and reads beautifully! The Earl is a wonderful gentleman. This room has a beautiful ceiling!
The Earl and Countess are lovely and love learning the history of your beautiful home
Thank you Earl and Countess! And Countess you possess an encyclopedic knowledge of so many subjects and a mind as sharp as a pin with a charming wit to match!! Deepest Regards!!
I think it is lovely that Mapperton Live is preserving their Earl and Countess's knowledge and anecdotes.
Lord and Lady Montegu, I love you two! I see Luke and Julie in another 30 years. Thank you for letting us visit your lovely home.

❤❤these two!!! Particularly ❤Luke's mother!!! So witty!!!
How beautiful the pendant that you are wearing, Countess!
My Dear Countess, you both appear to be very sharp. Greetings from Wisconsin, USA.
Nice 🤗
Which murder, so funny 😅
British humor
I also sit on my hands in that manner.

I love you guys so funny. Such an enjoyment to listen about everything and the stories. Such good hosts.
I love listening to the information. I guess I need to buy the book. Lol
I absolutely LOVE hearing your parents talk about the house and items. How adorable! My husband's family, the Clagett's are a pre Colonial family from England to Maryland with much History and I find it fascinating to learn.
Lovely Tour of the Grand Ceilings @ Mapperton! Watching from California, USA
I adore the Earl and Countess! They are so full of information and history. They are a delight! Please pay NO attention to the person who said such a horrible thing about remembering things, they ar not worth the emotion! I look forward to more videos about your beautiful Mapperton.

Really enjoyed the humor around the stories of the leaks and how the ceilings look today.
I just love watching the Earl and Countess!❤️🥰
Love to hear about Mapperton's history. 💕

Absolutely delightful! Thank you so very much!
I so appreciate both of your knowledge.
One thing I would love to see is home movie snippets and photos from earlier in your marriage and from your lives before that.

I love hearing from them !
Such a lovely couple and thank you for taking the time to share your lovely home with us! :-)
I enjoy your wonderful stories and the beautiful gaiety between the two of you. As well as your handsome son and his lovely, beautiful wife, Julie. Incredible heritage. Hope to visit one day.
Many blessings to you al!
Thank you my goodness! Almost nice as visiting
OOH!! I’d love to hear you speak on china, my Great Aunt started me on collecting. I really love it!
I ordered the book immediately! I absolutely love their stories and banter! The ceilings are magnificent!
Thank you!
Thoroughly enjoyable tour. Who better than the owners to convey the full story. Appreciation of a rolled steel joist! The sad history of the brothers-in-law! The drip from the nose! The buckets and more buckets. Crawling through the attic. The book looks fascinating.

Oh how I wish I could have been there to observe the workers and designers of these beautiful ceilings.
Always such a pleasure to learn more from the earl amd countess. I want to visit if only just to stop by a window, look out and mutter "hm... peasants" while no one is looking. No reason just for fun :)
Actually, you are both a wealth of information and so very interesting to listen to and learn from. Obviously some commenters are without manners and common decency.
My mother collected tea cups and saucers, I would love an episode on china.
Thank you both, very much. I look forward to your vignettes. Your home is beautiful, and there is so much history to discover!
Countess, I would very much like to see the different Chinas, and learn about them.

Lovely staircase!! The Library also has a very pretty plaster ceiling.
Wow! (The words written to sister, Ann.)
Really like this history about the ceilings at Mapperton. Very interesting. Such a pleasure to hear the history in each room from the Earl and countess. Thank you for sharing! ♥️♥️
Your videos are delightful. Your knowledge of the history of the house is impressive.

Love your parents luke they are sweet. So knowledgeable. How many brothers and sisters do you have luke?
I would love to learn more about the Countess. What was she like as a young girl? Who was her family? Education? Where did she meet the Earl?
I am so glad you enjoy doing the filming, because I love them (selfishly)!

Wonderful couple and a wonderful episode. Keep them coming ☺️
Thank you. Wonderful to see the difference between the Elizabethan and Rococo and other ceilings.
I've had a lot of sugar today so please forgive my liberty when I declare you both utterly adorable.

Mapperton is so lucky to have had so many people throughout the generations who have maintained and updated the home. Very interesting talk on the beautiful ceilings by the Earl and Countess.
I absolutely love Luke’s mom & dad interventions, they are so knowledgeable!, one can heard them all day long without getting tired.
Many🌻Thanks from
