Oh I wish that I could have been one of those that grew up in that wealth and glamour.
Oh so do I.
Their average life expectancy was a great deal shorter in those days. Somewhere in the 40s
It was so stressful and so not worth it.
no tampons. no antibiotics. no decent dentistry (still an issue in UK, even Queen Camilla, good grief).
But I wanted to know how did they. Make their wealth?
What a lovey garden, now on my bucket list to visit. Amazing lady, Edith, someone who set a positive example for other young ladies to follow.
Absolutely fascinating, thank you for sharing Edith's story.
Very Interesting, thank you so much for the tour! I'm so happy I found your channel!
A lady of personality , who used her wealth to support many great causes.
Heavenly seeing the gardens and especially seed propagation! I have so many flowering plants under grow lights now, but with the price of lettuce this winter ($9.99 CDN$ a head), I will be growing those too.
I'm really glad she used her influence for good, to make a difference for others..she even formed her own army. Wow
Yeah, so we could get negative birth rates, false accusations, hiring quotas, economic and technological stagnation, massive immigratios, et cetera.
@@nosotrosloslobosestamosreg4115 just say you are a sexist
@@seliamila1005 just say you're a cuck-simp. You're not gonna get that b00b pixel from her, champ.
She is one of the many first seed planters of cancer liberalism. Truly an awful case.
I love watching these!!!!
Me too
Edith was utterly Charming and Fascinating....
This home is beautiful and it’s good to hear someone is still living there
I'd be interested to know what sort of property tax the "Lady" descendant pays. I believe they get a lot of money from the government...that would make sense, they're aristocrats.
The upkeep on that must be astronomical.
Fantastic documentary like always 👌 tres tres chic
Dear me, Alan Titchmarsh! I'm glad I found my way to this programme from BBC Gardeners World. An excellent look behind the scenes at a remarkable garden and house, and the personality behind both. And thanks for the detour to Lady Astor and the suffrage movement of the nineteen-teens and twenties.
O, what a wonderful peek into the past! The gardens, the ladies, the homes and the stories! 🌿💕🌺 Thank you, enjoyed this, ever so much!
Great presentation, what an honor to be able to see inside
The home is beautiful on its own, but the oversaturated neon grass really ruins the aerial shots... were the video editors colorblind?
Remarkable life she had! So many interests and passions, such powerful influence. I have to wonder where the money came from to fund such a lavish lifestyle. Does anyone know?
Estates were typically worked by "tenant farmers" who paid a yearly rent in exchange for use of the land, as well as a percentage of profit they made from selling some of what they grew/raised there.
Thank you.
I mesn it's pretty bad when I recognize all the great British historians and archaeologists. But to show you how much I loved it, I may be one of the only Americans who can name all the British monarchs since 1066. LOL!!! It's so awesome or as you Brits would say Britain is brilliant! in America Britain is awesome.
Starting at 3:21....I swear that's a room from Zelda.
Vielen Dank Tommy
I'm an American who has loved reading re-searching etc British history. And I mean The History not necessarily The Monarchy. But you cannot make this stuff up. I learn something new EVERY day. I started by reading Historical Biographies. So you're reading about someone but you're also picking up the history without reading a History Book so dry!! One thing leads to another and the documentaries like this can be so informative. I usually read everything and watch everything on a subject when I am interested. Love Britain.
Why do Americans always have to announce themselves, are you apologizing for being American because that makes sense. Americans are not liked
Okay. Enough😊! Thanks.
No mention of Susan Vane-Tempest and King Edward VII????
@17:10 "Property owning women over 30 got the vote" -- essentially, white women with wealth who were at an age where they were already married could vote. This is barely feminism. It still held to classist, racist, sexist and ageist views about what women were capable of. And the fact that they had to be 30 to vote was a way of ensuring they were under the thumb of their husband before they could exercise their right to vote.
donated 1/2 million dollars to renovate a romm that it wouldnt be even used... smh imagine how many starving children could be fec in Africa with that money. This is disgusting
@@infinity5968 yeah well every country has poverty as far as l know. l said africa because with half a million US dollars you can buy like a small country lmao
If the place was “restored” in the last 3 years, why is there mold on the columns??
Did I spot an Orkney chair in the Lady's bathroom?
How’s everyone
How incredibly beautiful!

Red is my favorite color but that is a lot of red in one room!
The house is beautiful no doubt.
Considering the housing crisis and immigration crisis set the United Kingdom is suffering right now it's amazing they spent 8 million pounds on a big house nobody's living in.
I imagine a lot of nice homes could have been built with 8 million pounds and had nice decent rents or sale prices on them.
What's so great about them? I always heard about the Londonderrys, they even had Londonderry house in London; why did they have so much clout? Where'd they get all that money? They were only IRISH peers. Not even the Dukes of Leinster are so talked about.
They belonged to the Ogilvy family who had very many famous relatives in Scotland’s aristocracy, including kings and queens in Scotland
She was also a relative of the rich Stuart/Stewart’s

🌎 My Perspective: Northern Ireland will always be Ireland, it isn't Britain. The control of lands that were a Country before British aggressions does not change History nor Geography.
(Regardless of Rome or Britain's Historic efforts to rewrite History), in the present era abundant facts are emerging to reveal the greater Truths of our World and its Peoples and Countries' Histories.
Every Individual is worthy, all are equal, and all have a natural birthright to the Truth(s).

There you have, from the beginning feminism was a bunch of rich girls who wanted all the rights but none of the responsabilities.
Issues much?
100% agreed
Poor wimen had real issues - 100% responsabilities with no basic human rights.
They had many children at home and worked the back breakimg work.
Why you dont sprak abaut this 99% , normal people ?
The powerful rich lady was only 1% of the population.
@@katarinatibai8396 Poor men, 99.9% of men in 99.9% of human history. Forced to back breaking works, mostly dying by exhaustation and work related accident. Low chances to get a wife because women were in harems. Rich western women most affected

Feminism was always awful
I believe early feminism was necessary. But 2nd, 3rd wave neo-feminists have caused a lot of damage to society. The ideology has taken over the universities and schools.
@@baylorsailor Its basically been awful for
western civilization from the beginning
So are incels, but here you are inflicting yourself on humanity.
@@Ghastly_Grinner Some has there own deep-seated issues. Get therapy for that.
Its been a cancer on civilization thankfully it's not sustainable

The sexual liberation movement has been a disaster for mankind
yeah? not sex slavery, trafficking, pornography? get your priorities in check.
@@meyague did I say anything about that, or are you patting yourself on the back for making an assumption?
@@meyague btw a majority of the sex traffickers are rich liberals who promote the feminist movement.
@@Lifesizemortal you live in a bubble.
@@meyague and you live in an echo chamber
"Women deserve the right to vote; it will offer them some protection".. Aaah yes. We are able to vote for as much war as we like with all the protections afforded to us. Meanwhile, men who vote must accept they may go to war. It's easy to vote ignorantly when someone else must pay the price. I'll respect this woman if she thought women should have to sign up for war, too.
#Agreed
If I cannot use my words and take leave of my sense in the throes of hysteria and DARE to throw a punch at ANY man, I should be prepared to get one back in retaliation and take it "like a man," should those lines be crossed as equals. Fair is fair! Correct?
That is why civilized society demands manners, respect, common courtesy, and NOW laws that protect us in CA from being murdered by our spouses and free birth control unlike other states. #FreePaternityTests #NextPlease #FairIsFair #GeeseGanderIssues
@@Stellaaahhh she formed the first womens legion.
A group of female soldiers who formed during world war one. So I guess you didn't listen or watch the documentary. She also fought for the women's right to vote.
There are a lot of countries around the world where woman are conscripted into service. Personally I think it would be a good thing if it were mandatory to do one year in any of the armed services or if not able or willing for that, then a year of community service.
@@patriciahenderson2096 I've said the same thing maybe there would be more respect for human life if they realized the true cost of freedom is sacrifice.
All the 'Absolute History' documentaries I've seen so far have a leftist bent, which I am constantly spoon fed in any case. I want a break from this ubiquitous stuff.
