    Greetings from the windy city of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 🇪🇹 🇪🇹 🇪🇹 🇪🇹. We live and work today in the age of boring buildings made up entirely from Concreat, Aluminium and glass. This country houses across Great Britain and Europe surely will inspire todays and future Arcthects and Engineers and borrow them Ideas. They also give us hope we still have a functional houses from the past. They also bear moment of nostalgia about the good old days. Down here in my country, due to poor urban planing and sometimes greadiness of Authorities countless historical buildings which registered to the Heritage council were demolished in the past 15 years alone to lease the land for big money. Today for visitors caming to my city, there is little to show of the past. Thankfully the National Meusium and other Meusium around the country collected the historical and natural wealth as much as they could. British peoples you have to be proud of your tradition, history and culture. Great Job by the Castodians of the past and present. Merry Christmass!

      Setting precedent makes legal process progressively easier until only one or two endangered structures remain. With at least one not having recieved timely maintanance, thus already faced with valid reason for demolition rather than endanger public regardless of any cultural historical value. By sitting on their hands rather than encouraging rehabilitation action

      And today, after all these grandeur, culture, innovation, mastery, achievements, art, science, technology, discoveries, and leading in the evolution of conscience and the age of enlightenment, in the emancipation of the masses and in the establishment of democracies, people, who just yesterday lived in cow dung huts, shake their fists in front of our faces and yell "what has the white man ever accomplished? He is only a blue eyed devil." That's ignorance and jealousy speaking. The white man has accomplished more than any race on earth because, I believe, he is the smartest human..

    Love the series and excellently researched families and oh goodness those homes! As an American I am just humbled by the number of such properties and magnitude of what these leading families accomplished. Granted the means to such ends can and should be questioned, but regardless, it is something I hope to see one day. The Cecils have truly borne the brunt of their success. “Never trust a Cecil” seems very deep seated in public sentiment, much like our Rockefeller and Morgan families! Michael, Albuquerque NM USA

    Very impressive collection of craftsmanship. Too concentrated for me as an outsider. I get the impression you end up walking by them like ordinary stuff. Each peace deserves a certain part of attention and admiration. Bundled together the marvels they should create become an incredible weight. It makes me think of these giant Galapagos turtles. Just the few objects i maintained from my grandfather’s heritage kept me busy for 10 years. I can’t imagine what it would be like to have these kind of cargo ships storming towards you. So I admire the people who keep these places alive. If I’d have to add a contemporary object it would represent the generations of family members pushing these buildings forward through the centuries.

    2:50:47 *"What has Britain given the world."* - *Lord Cook, Holkham Hall*
    I appreciate this man's Authentic Attitude, his quick statement, (not replied to, but not edited out), is a most honest statement for countless people around this globe, including me, (born in Chicago, USA, and disconnected from my true place of lineage, and from the Country that should be my home.) When we are speaking to History, lineage, families, ours was "interrupted" by Britain, and never a word of remorse, rather a continued sort of animosity lingers towards us. As if we did something, wrong.
    I really appreciate his thought.

      Taller people? If anything, the people of Britain are taller now. Look at York Shambles, tiny doorways for the smaller people that lived back then (1350 AD-1475 AD). Have you been watching certain UA-cam content claiming giants roamed & we are being lied to? Even claiming Berlin is designed for giants? If so, you are being lied to, by the quacks that spew that disinformation out.

    Out of all the grand houses I have seen/visited over the years, none of them has ever beat Robert Adams Culzean Castle on the Ayrshire Coast. It may not be the grandest or most extravagant (arguable) castle/country house in the U.K, but the castle sitting above terraced gardens on a clifftop location with the sea and mountains as the backdrop is just unbeatable.

    What has Britain given the world? GREATNESS to be sure.
    Jerusalem - Willam Blake (1757-1827)
    And did those feet in ancient time
    Walk upon England's mountain green?
    And was the holy Lamb of God
    On England's pleasant pastures seen?
    And did the countenance divine
    Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
    And was Jerusalem builded here
    Among those dark satanic mills?
    Bring me my bow of burning gold!
    Bring me my arrows of desire!
    Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
    Bring me my chariot of fire!
    I will not cease from mental fight,
    Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
    Till we have built Jerusalem
    In England's green and pleasant land. ~ With Great Love from Canada ~

    • @michaelheath5615
      @michaelheath5615 2 роки тому

      The great aristocrats, through centuries of marriages, etc, wound up owning great houses all over England. By the 20th century these were not only superfluous to their needs but much more expensive to maintain. Also, a piece of land with a huge house on it was worth much more and thus taxed at a much much higher rate. Think of it as a choice between cutting off four of your fingers and losing your entire right arm. And with few exceptions, houses like the ones featured here were not demolished, but quite possibly saved due to the destruction of the lesser houses. Some were donated to the National Trust, and the rooms of any very special demolished houses ended up in museums all over the world. I hope that eases your heart somewhat. However I, too, am grieved by the loss.

    Think about what it would be like to be employed as a staff person say, at Burley, and have to clean these priceless treasures? I would find it a terrifying job. If you have ever worked in a museum, and I have, you would also cringe at the first Earl touching so many pieces with his bare hands as he talked to the narrator. That is such a big no-no. The hands have natural oils and sometimes dirt. He and the narrator both should have worn gloves if they ever touched a thing. Everything around them is a priceless treasure. He may own the place, but he is also its custodian.

      But Tom, those amazing and wondrous places are still there. I am American and have been to England many times. It is the most amazing thing to go to these incredible places; there is still an “atmosphere” and so much of the original work has survived the centuries. From cobbled stone streets to incredible historic places, I just don’t have the words.

      Britain needs to focus on being Britain. Stop taking the lead from the US in all things political and cultural. The UK is to the point where it is appropriating American problems (i.e. George Floyd and wokeness).

    The Duchess was no slouch at currying royal favor herself. There was contemporary gossip about the nature of Sarah’s relationship with Queen Anne. Could be sour grapes, but they wrote each other many letters using play pseudonyms. Mrs. so and so, etc. I can’t remember the exact names, very commonplace. Some letters survive. They had a falling out, I think from the Duchess presuming too much and threatening to publish some of the letters. At any rate the Duchess left court and nothing came of any of it, except of course the Queen’s purse was closed to her. Poor thing, she had not long to live: the Queen, not the Duchess. When Queen Anne died, so died the Stuarts and the Hanoverian ages began, worse luck; although that did ultimately give us the Regency period, my favorite.
