Actually that chain on the loom is one of the earliest predecessors to computers. Sort of like punch cards. Jacquard fabric looms were also “programmed” with some sort of chain or card to tell the loom how to process.
Keyboard instruments as well especially such mechanical monsters as cathedral organs where you can achieve all sorts of sonic effects by pressing keys and levers must have been inspirations at least for printing presses, typewriters and ultimately computing.(Perhaps?)
A little tip or others......I am the grown child o a hoarding adult and these people obviously know what they are doing. So. so many people watch UA-cam stories and think they are gonna be the next big wheeler and dealer in the antiques trade......All that happens is you home gets filled up with junk that you say you will re-sell on ebay but never do........I have heard of horrendous stories of grown family members getting left to deal with their loved ones junk.....Entire homes filled with crap......It's not fair and too much junk actually causes your home start to rot......I have had to deal with this all my life and the credit card bills I also have to sort out. It's not fair.......I AM TIRED.......so if you get 10 'antiques' you think are worth something YOU CAN'T BUY ANYMORE GOODS until every piece of the first 10 pieces of junk R sold.......All U collectors of crap love to tell your grown kids how much fun they will have looking thru your worldly treasures when you die.......99% of it is generally junk and it costs more to get rid of it with dump trunk hire and the like so it is definitely not fun......The only things of value are shares, real estate and land......Almost everything else is crap.
Europe is full of them, you can probably buy one. No one wants to live in them anymore because they are just big money pits, as soon as you fix something, something else needs repair. You'd have to do it for the love if it ..... 🤔🤪😆
Because the sculptures were legally purchased before there were laws banning the export of antiquities from Italy. Moreover, they are Roman era copies of Greek sculptures, and not originals.
It's Wentworth Woodhouse, the former home of the Fitzwilliam family. This episode is a bit long in the tooth. Today, the house is owned by a charitable trust, who are gradually restoring the mansion, gardens and other buildings.
Parts of the facade were pretty fragile and crumbling. There's been a few series on its continued restoration, they're doing a great job, it's just a slow process especially because of the size of the estate :)

Did they ever find out about the record player thing?
I bet its an answering machine that just plays a pre-recorded message
The history and the ghosts
Another repeat?
New to my side of the pond
Was the front of this house used in the movie pride and prejudice ?
How is it legal for them to keep those Greek statues. They were absolutely looted and should absolutely be returned.

No background on the home at all, disapointing.
