  • Tredegar house. Stately home in South Wales. Newport history, fun and lovely gardens! In this video, Phil poses some interesting questions and decides which member of the Morgan family deserves to be remembered most. You may be surprised!\
    Tredegar house is such a welcoming place with marvellous staff who really know their history! Many generations and years of change have altered the house, adding to the rich history.
    Why was the red room called the red room? Mmm, did you guess?

    As a Morgan descendant myself, (great grandmother was a Morgan of Tredegar) I always like seeing the family home at Tredegar and hearing family history.

    I just happened to come by your lovely video of Tredegar House, I'm actually a house volunteer and I enjoyed your video! I agree with you about Godfrey, but he didn't like to be called Godfrey the Good, he just wanted to be remembered as a generous and giving man, he really was someone special! Thank you for showing our beautiful house and hope you come back and visit us soon! Jodie 😊

    Such great history and beautiful gardens in this video. I counted 9 times of seeing Manky, but wasn't able to watch the live to answer the quiz. Thank you so much for sharing such a magnificent place!

    • @LetsgowithTheJohnsons
      @LetsgowithTheJohnsons  Рік тому

      So glad you enjoyed this tour of Tredegar House Elizabeth... I believe Manky made 10 appearances in this video, but everyone missed one of them so 9 would have got you a podium place 🏅 Thanks for watching 🤠🐼🐼👩‍🦰

    Greetings Phil and Caroline,
    I'm very impressed by Caroline's knowledge of plants.
    When I saw that chandelier it made me chuckle, it reminded me of the scene from only fools and horses.

    • @LetsgowithTheJohnsons
      @LetsgowithTheJohnsons  Рік тому

      Caroline does love here plants, ever since she read her grandmother's garden encyclopaedia when she was a girl... I remember that chandelier sketch... Brilliant 😄😂

    What a fabulous opulant house. And I do love that these days we get to try on a costume or two on our way around. The kitchens are somehow always my favourite rooms in these grand old houses, (probably because I know my place.... below stairs!!). I love all those massive gadgets but what hard thankless work it must have been, keeping lords and ladies satisfied! And of course even below stairs there was a hierarchy. Oh those poor scullery maids! As for Henry Morgan... I suppose the least said of him the better as far as the family were concerned. Hooray for Godfrey Morgan. Sometimes the right person comes along at the right time. Godfrey the Good indeed!

    • @LetsgowithTheJohnsons
      @LetsgowithTheJohnsons  Рік тому

      Yes, it's great that we can touch things and try them on. Some of the kitchen tools were very large and must have been heavy to use! We were very impressed by Sir Godfrey, and it was an honour to share his story. 😎🐼🙂

    I so love the wood carvings on the house, a almost lost art! What a grand place! I wish I could walk among the halls looking at all the paintings and the Gardens! wonderful! I even saw some plants I have never seen before but will be looking them up for sure. I am surprised to see yucca plants there and a banana tree! Those Bachelor buttons are the largest I have ever seen! Amazing history of the family and what was built!

    Couldn't you just say there on the grounds for a week in a camper.
    Park where you could wake up each morning to the splendor of the gardens . It would take a week to truly take it all in .
    Enjoyed that very much Caroline , and Phil .Thank you .

    Monkey seems to get to more places than I do the reason I don’t see much is because I can’t drive unfortunately and I don’t have anyone kind enough to invite me to travel to nice places with them
