    If Alice appears in the thumbnail, I click, even if it's a very long compilation of videos I've seen previously. That said, new stuff from Alice would be appreciated on this channel (or on History Hit itself), please 🙂

    How come these shows never actually explore the HOUSES?!?! I would love to tour these old houses, find out what their layouts are, and how these houses worked! I've read all of Vita's works and know her biography fairly well, but I would love to have a real tour of Sissinghurst and Knole to see how these places are laid out and how they were actually lived in.

    Love your enthusiasm Alice - so refreshing!
    There is a cruel irony to Blenheim (my next door neighbour - if over a mile to the house!), the current, ex-jailbird, Duke is so skint that he even had his car re-possesed last year. He was deemed so irresponsible that his father put the estate into a trust so he couldn't asset strip it to pay of his multi-million pound debts.
    In a crueler twist of fate, the Trust, now controlling everything, intead of just protecting the Palace and wider estates have gone for a cash grab from property and solar farm developers and are covering vast swathes of Oxfordshire with building works!

    I look forward to seeing Alice present a tour of her family's ancestral home, Palace Loxton, in Loxbridgeshire. Adults will be fascinated by the Indo-Saracenic architecture and the famous Lox Bridge which gives the county its name. Children will be delighted by the creatures that populate the rolling landscape of the estate, including the Loxton ponies and the "Loxys", the iconic local rabbits.

    I don't see any evidence in this video that there were lesbian or gay relationships. Maybe there were, but a woman in that time using that vocabulary likely was normal. I would caution someone from taking any correspondence from that era and before and instantly assuming gay or lesbian relationships were taking place. I have to assume the real evidence wasn't appropriate to show in this documentary.
