I am so surprised that there was no mention of the origin of the term powder room It was my understanding that they had to have a devoted space because the amounts of powder required for the hair Dressing was extremely messy
True, but the cinematography might not be quite so magnificent. The church, the pub, depends if you include Ickwell. Didn’t realise it was from Northill, used to live there, so thanks.
I wonder if British heritage are ever going to mention which houses or aristocrats built their houses and fortunes through slavery, colonialism and imperialism.
Why is that relevant? Are you saying English people are not allowed to celebrate their heritage? Then neither can Africans, Arabs, or anyone else. There does not exist a people innocent of slavery on our earth.
@@Dryhten1801 what could be more relevant...the commons were stolen from the commoners at the same moment that slave owning land owning families were compensated for the loss of human property and extended their estates using the labor of those whose livelihoods they had stolen by removing the commons and associated rights. This is our British (or as you put it, English) heritage. Saying we were only as bad as everyone else is disengenuous, and it is about time the British had an honest and truthful relationship with their colonial, imperialist and class based histories. I would rather remember and understand the reality of British history, dirt and worts and injustice, than a fantasy which serves a dangerous and blinkered fiction.
I like the intro music.

I think Pyramids wonderful, but I'd love to know how the workers used to live!
Might have filmed this in Northill, where the song was first collected, maybe.

What about the "Abbey Road" songs of England collection?😂

Perhaps BeadMeCreative was being ironic.
