- This remarkable castle, built on the instruction of William the Conqueror, has been in the same family for 450 years. With an extraordinary variety of castles, manors, and stately homes available, this truly is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - don't let it slip away! Mention "Julie" when booking for £1,000 off any stay of 5 nights or longer. 🏰 storiedcollection.com
Prior to the Watson’s ownership the Castle was held by the crown. There are very few other homes that have been continuously occupied for nearly 1000 years and within that time been owned by just one family since being relinquished as a royal Castle.

The Gilded Age American Heiress Exhibition opened to the public here at Mapperton on the 5th May. However, if you can’t make it in person you can buy a ticket (3 cups of coffee) for a virtual hour long tour with me, and support this ongoing project over at www.buymeacoffee.com/juliejmo...
A new exhibition offers a glimpse into the captivating world of Alberta Sturges Montagu, the 9th Countess of Sandwich, and an American Heiress from the renowned era known as The Gilded Age.
Curated by Mapperton’s very own American Viscountess, Julie Montagu, the "American Heiress" collection is comprised of more than 10,000 previously unseen letters exchanged between Alberta (Sturges) Montagu and her family, as well as the peerage at large.
Dating from 1888 to 1951, these letters constitute the largest unpublished private collection of correspondence from the period. They offer a remarkable glimpse into the life of a "dollar bride" during the Gilded Age, shedding light on both triumphs and struggles.
The exhibition takes innovation to the next level by introducing Alberta AI, a ground-breaking creation that brings her story to life like never before.

This has quickly become my favorite show. Your enthusiasm is infectious and so relatable. Thank you for sharing these journeys!
Oh Julie you make me so proud to be American, you are so kind and like me so honoured to live in this beautiful country, you show knowledge and interest but you also let the host speak . The castle is magnificent and learning of its history is just amazing. Thank you so much for sharing these experiences with us.
It’s such a wonderful castle and I love the length of the video. Julie doesn’t try to fit all of it into a 30 second video. The story is the beauty!❤
Brilliant Julie Just Brilliant!!! All of the Montegue connections even further back in time than you knew about. How exiting to find more family history for you & Luke & really your whole family!!! Such a wonderful tour…we all feel like we are right there with you every step of the way!!! Love all the history, architectural detail & particularly the paintings!!! Artistically I appreciate the artists that paint all the natural details double chins, warts & all…real people just like us!!!❤🎉❤🎉❤😂
Do you & Luke have your own portraits for Mapperton??? Would love to see them???
1:09:38 How lovely how moved you are reading about the history of these homes. Your passion shines through!
So cute at the Rose Garden!! Yes, please go back to take a picture of “Julie’s Rose”!! ☀️
I would have to say I absolutely love the tours you take us on, but this might very well be my absolute favorite! I agree, it looked like an elaborate movie set. Breathtaking!!!!
An incredible experience. Thank you Julie and your Host.
So enjoyable and totally fascinating on every level. Rockingham Castle is now on my ‘must see’ hit list 👍
I just ❤❤❤ this show so much. Your enthusiasm and passion is contagious. I love hearing how excited the property owners are as well. I think this was my favorite episode. The passion James has and his plans for planting 950 trees! Amazing. Love the elephant hedge. Kudos to he and his family for taking such good care of the property.
What a beautiful castle, the history through the years, amazing. 🤩
So much character in these paintings, not only the individual it is about but the history etc. love it. Thanks for sharing
Wonderful! Would love to see those roses.
Loved this, what a wonderful history between the families.
Beautiful old house full of history!
Your enthusiasm and genuine love for what you do is so inspiring. My favorite channel!
Wow, thank you!
Julie makes history fun and well worth to know
Amazing reading of the letter about Hinchingbrooke. What serendipity.
I love the history and stories of castles❤.
Great video, the work you guys put in creating these videos is fantastic
Fascinating!!
Tears came to my eyes when listening to Julie read the Hitchenbrook letter. Profoundly emotional, and relatable to many of us, even if our family homes were not historic and palatial properties.
Thank you Julie, This is so interesting and full of history and just love visiting all these historical and very important Castles and/or Manors of England. Love this opportunity to at least get to see them and hear more about them!
Question, am I having Deja vu, or a lot of these visits to historic buildings repeats? I have been watching since the start and I’m sure I have seen a few of these before. 🤔
Yup!! Me too!
Julie, I feel as though we’re getting to listen in on the family secrets! Thanks! From your Chicago girl❤.
What a beautiful castle & home. Julie , you do an amazing job. Well done😊
Fantastic loved it so interesting and the family connections make it all so personal and relatable. One of your best thus far Julie
I absolutely love, love, loved this!
Such an entertaining tour!! 🏰 ❤
The elephant hedges are just WOW!!!!! They are so beautiful AND freakish. Thanks for doing this documentary of this beautiful castle, Julie. When I was a little girl in the 1970s in Maine, I was always fascinated with royalty. So many books I had where I would spend hours just dreaming looking at all the real pictures and cartoon pictures. In some of the cartoon depictions of castles, there would be princesses wearing a conical hat with a poof of silk coming out of the end. Oh how I wanted to wear one! No idea if they were English princesses or where they were from, but I loved them.
Bonjour Julie
34:21 that medieval keep is the best surprise ever! 🎉
Agree w/ Molly Crawford's comment below! The storytelling in this series is next level and magnificent! Thank you so much!
Loved this episode, and the family links with the Montagu family
I think this has been my favorite episode. Julie so very knowledgeable on history. Thank you.
I loved it, thank you! So interesting!
This was wonderful!
It’s beautiful and I enjoyed this episode when I watched it the first time! Please start mentioning if it’s a repost or not 😊
What an amazing amount of content! How this is done in 1 day amazes me! Hats off to all that you and the team have accomplished.
thank you Juile beautiful castle Wonderful inerview
thank you with best wishes
I love how every host of the castle knows the history of their beautiful home. Julie, if you visit my ancstors home, you would go from teepee to teepee smoking a peace pipe. Lol!
Rockingham is beautiful and John Watson is a warm and friendly custodian of his familys rich history. Wondrrful presentation!
Isn’t this an old video??
Great show so much history thank you Julie love the show
😊 they certainly put you to work, there, Ms Julie!!! Lol
What a great eye 👁 on the light bulbs 💡
Fabulous video! Thankyou for representing Americans in a positive light. I’ve learned so much and this is one of my favorite UA-cam channels. Thank you❤️
You should make coloring books for people to read, learn and color. I would 100% buy all of them! With all this castle theme and history. I thought of it looking at the guide book that you showed
I just love the accidental genealogy. This is such a fun part of integrating into your marriage family.
After watching this episode the name Rockingham reminded me of Wentworth Woodhouse being of some connection. Now owned by WW Trust and under a great renovation especially The Lady Rockingham Tea House. Well worth a visit and needs to be seen what a wonderful job they are doing to save this beautiful building.
These are delightful. Please tour Asthall Manor one day. That would be fascinating!
Good eye 👁 Julie checking the light bulbs 💡in the library 📚 you noticed the decorative candlestick lights on the fireplace mantel were not on 💡 💡 You are a Pro !!! 😊
America is so young we don’t have the history like Europe does!
Very cool. Thank you
shout out from chicago- you go girl!
I love your videos @americanvicountess It’s fascinating and I can see why you’ve fallen in love with England and its history! And even all those years ago how America and England have had intertwined❤
Just amazing history 😱💞
I known more knowledges about this stunning palace. Thanks
Som intresting old castle nad garden
Each episode is better and better, but the question that keeps coming to my mind is why you haven't visited Highclere Castle yet.
While I enjoy all of your videos, Julie, this one is especially engaging. Lovely gentleman owner as well. Enjoyed it.
I thought it seemed like the castle at Edinburgh ❤
You should figure out how to buy back Hinchingbrooke. Then use it for something spectacular. (Not that a school isn't spectacular but...)
Love the rose garden. My husband proposed to me in our city Rose Garden. 55 years ago.I had no ides a rose garden was connected to romance 💘❤️🇨🇦❤️
Hello Julie I watch more and more of your vlogs! in this video there was a sentence painted on on of the beams in the great hall. please could you share what the sentence painted on the beams with me ???
Take a look at timeline 31:20 - the over view of the castle, and on the left hand side, is the image of a frog, face - belly - and skinny little legs .... hahaha how funny
Anyone know who the artist or what the track is of that beautiful celtic fiddle at 2:01 ?
What is your cute little car?
Well I don’t think the King built it did he ? Peasants did .
I wonder why the content is made up of reruns or rather reissues of past episodes. Is there a reason?
I want to know where the British aristocracy get their banners of arms these days. It' not like you can go to M&S for a flag.
I discovered you by the Italy house makeover. I’m not a fan of these old castles and their associated monarchy. These old ruling systems are a blight on our planet.
Low key nobody cares you don’t like it x
While I agree with you that royalty did unconscionable things, and their lives were kill or be killed, the architecture and durability is breathtaking. The two should be completely separate.
Yes, let’s turn away from the cabal and their ritual atrocities and admire the woodwork.
