Thank you for keeping history alive with these episodes. So interesting.
Hello. We now live in W Australia, but used to live in a small village outside Wimborne Minster. Our daughter married there, so your vlog has special. meaning for us. We go the Minster each time we return to the UK. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing!
I’ve seen first hand that it is important to have multiple streams of income especially during this post Covid era. Unfortunately, having a job doesn't mean financial freedom or security.
Amazing content, venturing into the trading world without a professional trader and expecting profits is like turning water into wine..Lol, you would need a miracle, that why i trade with Mrs Maureen Jones her skill is exceptional.
@@dinning4256 wow this is wonderful,its really a great thing to see others who trade with woman like this , i am currently on my 6th trade with her and my portfolio has increased tremendously'.
@@lucyweilbel6681 this is not the first i am heaing of Mrs maureen and her exploits in trading world but i have no idea on how to reach her i have already lost enough of money since my retirement on binance trying to trade trading for myself,where can i get the link??
@@dinning4256 I invest with Ms. Jones she charges a 20% commission on profit made after every trading session which is fair compare to the effort she put in to make profit from your capital.
@@kimdanh7264 Please how can I get to her? I don’t have much in my portfolio right now but I have been saving up and I feel guidance would be ground breaking for me.
This is fascinating Julie! Thanks for bringing us along!
The inner history buff in me is head over heels with what I just watched that I’m watching again later to show a friend!! I love that Elizabeth I marker, my god, I will need to spend weeks in the UK when I can visit.
I just love the Cathedral and chained library ❣️ Both are extraordinary! I loved seeing the seals of Elizabeth I and Charles I as she was my 1st cousin and Charles, my 4th cousin. I love seeing and learning all of this with their connections! Thank you so much for sharing! So beautiful ❤️!
The church/Minster is a magnificent place. The beautiful ceilings, arches & all the other architectural details. The story & history behind the clock & how it works was very interesting. Loved the chained library's original concept. Also, amazing how the waxed seal of Elizabeth the 1st hads survived all these 100's of years.
Love ❤️ our churches ⛪️ thanks for showing how beautiful our country is ! Bye from London 🌻
Vety fascinating! Thank you fpr opening this world to us all.
Such a wonderful church-the clock, the stained glass, The Quarter Jack, the arches. All truly amazing! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Glad you enjoyed it
Hello from Canada! This is the church of my ancestors, my grandmother's family has roots at Dean's Grove/Wimborne Minster that go back for centuries. I enjoyed this video so much Thank you!
The clock bells were fabulous.... I adored every thing about this episode
Julie, I think this may be of my favorite videos that you've done. I could spend DAYS in that church looking at all details, the stones, the carvings, the bells, the windows, the library... What's most amazing is that the astronomical clock may indeed show our universe as it truly is...you know, before Copernicus threw a wrench in the works. Before then, the entire world believed and knew that the earth stood still, and the sun, moon and stars revolved around IT. Why? Because that's how God created it, as noted in Genesis 1. ;-)
Hello from America. I live in Texas. I am soo glad that I found your channel. I have been interested in British history and the Royal Family for about 40yrs. I have enjoyed the videos about this beautiful home. The church is absolutely beautiful!! Thank you for letting us tag along with you!!!
I absolutely LOVE the ceilings of the buildings that you've shared with us!!!! Such details!
Love these incredible buildings and their history 🤍
Love this show, amazing how this has been preserved!!
Happy Holidays from Iowa! I loved this video with the incredible history we learned. I am a singer, so I enjoyed the Choral music background. I hope I can get to England to see this church some day. Thank you for all your beautiful vlogs.
Absolutely stunning! I love learning about the rich history of historic landmarks!
Absolutely lovely video! Thank you for sharing all that you do. The effort and energy put into the videos is so appreciated. Much Love to you, your team, and your family.
Love old churches they tell what a community is like
Fascinating video Julie, thank you !
Julie, your videos are simply stunning!!! Educational... I love history and the beauty of antiques... So I find your videos a delight.. I enjoy them sooo much!!
Wow, thank you!
I Absolutely love the history of this beautiful old cathedral. Ever since reading Ken Follet's “Pillars of the Earth” depicting the stories of the Middle Ages and the building of these beautiful amazing buildings, I've been fascinated by them. Thank you so much for showing us this remarkable church . Cool clock!
Breathtakingly amazing!! Such religious beauty for all to see. Thank you!!
Loved this one! I would love to have heard more about the books that were in the case. I’m in awe of the preservation of these places and things.
This was simply a wonderful series…and Julie, you have such an engaging spirit, I can’t imagine anybody not connecting with you and feeling your positive energy…I love your vitality and spontaneity within these videos…thank you…
Many words of wisdom that are still true today.
Watching back episodes. Another wonderful program 🌸 Love your interpersonal skills and style 💖
Thank you so much!
Love that blue corvette
What an amazing episode. I've learned so much! Excellent job!
Oh I just love your videos so much!!! That place is so beautiful. I love how much history there is and how appreciated and well preserved it is. I love every minute of your videos. Thank you for bringing this beauty to us stuck on the other side of the pond!
Thank you so much!
Stunning!
Well Done Julie!
Thanks,Julie! I love history and learning something not on the history books it’s great.
Absolutely fascinating. Exquisite historical details. These tours are quite literally spellbinding for a history and all things British addict like myself. And to be so close to the Elizabeth I seal from 500 years ago, well, there are no words!
Tremendous opportunity. Thanks so much for sharing with us. Oh my it's all so exciting an glamorous and real life all at the same time. God bless you all and Merry Christmas from Bakersfield California USA.
You are so welcome!
This was so much fun to watch.
I can't wait to see what you're going to buy your husband for Christmas.
I live in a California Spanish Mission city and I love hearing the bells at the Mission Church..
Stunning! Thanks so much for sharing this fascinating bit of history.
I love the history. Beautiful 😀
Thanks!
OMG! The history just blows my mind. 🤯 How beautiful. I may repeat myself but what can I say. 😊
Wow, thank you!
My mind and curiosity goes to the people who did the physical labor and craftsmanship of these monumental structures. From the planning to preparation of the site, to the immense project of bringing in all of the stones and the grand accoutrements, the craftsmanship of every fine detail ... My imagination pictures the humans who made this possible. It had to be like living in a work camp. Those people had to live very nearby during the construction. The details of feeding/clothing/housing and maintaining order among the community of individuals responsible for creating this structure fascinates me.
I don't think the people lived in "work camps". These building projects took decades to complete, sometimes centuries. I think it's more realistic to think of them as long term, ongoing building sites and for the townsfolk around them it was like living near the local "factory" (in modern terms). Many worked at the "factory", many worked providing the services to the people working there, many worked supplying the materials.
Salisbury Cathedral was built in 34 years, extraodinarily fast, but that's still a lifetime of work. They married, raised children and went to work everyday at the Cathedral or the quarry, or the timber yard, just like you would at Ford/Microsoft.
This is also a lovely episode! The Churchwarden with the clock and the librarian of the chained library could be a character of a magical tower or something. There's something magical about them!
Love this, my maternal line includes several Montagues and Montaguerre s ❤️ but from a few centuries earlier.
The greatness of the Cathedrals leave a bit of the sense of the Great and Awesomeness of the Creator.
I love history. Thank you so much for doing these videos.
So informative. Loved this Vlog. The Quotes on the Bell Tower beams are great to see. The Wax seal of Elizabeth too! Thanks so much for this! Watched through ALL the adverts to support your work! MERRY CHRISTMAS from Canada, if I don't catch you again before. Great Job! 🎄⭐🙏🏽🎄🔔🙏🏽🎄
Glad you enjoyed it! Please share this video if you can. Thank you!
I’m so in love with the history about these places please continue to share!
I think I've got my facts right here. Have you researched the Rev. Charles Cavendish-Bentinck, Rector of Wimborne Minster sometime in the 19th century? Not only was he a great-nephew of the Duke of Wellington - his grandmother eventually married Wellington's brother after having been his French mistress; and not only was his first wife a Gypsy; but his daughter by his second marriage was Countess of Strathmore, her daughter was Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, and therefore his great-grandaughter is the Queen!
This is stunning. Enjoyed the tour around the Minster especially as it has been so difficult these past couple of years to travel anywhere with ease. It has been a fantastic series. I just love historical places of interest. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Be unlike the Royals of England and you and Luke show all what a good marriage really is. Faithfulness to one another.
I enjoyed that so much..you are like a breath of fresh air..thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
I bought some Le Chameau boots because I saw you wearing them. I had not heard of the brand before I saw you. It rained cats and dogs in Beverly, Ca this week so happy to have had them. ❤️❤️
They're iconic boots!
Good to know!
Love.
To say that was stunning does not really do it justice! Thank you for showing us the rich history! it was jut exquisite to see! It is so magical to see some of the Rich History come to life! Thank you all for showing it to us!
You’re so welcome!
I live in Wimborne. Lovely old Englush town
Lovely
Wonderful video!Thanks for sharing Julie!
Thank you so much for taking part in preserving those wonderful historic places.I hope one day I can come over to see them myself in the meantime I keep enjoying the wonderful town of Utrecht in the Netherlands.There's quite some good video's on you tube if you are interested.I wish you and your family and friends a happy and fulfilling life.
Truly remarkable. In appreciation.
Love this one on the history of the church and 📚. Outstanding. Love from Bloomingdale Georgia USA
Thank you so much! Please do spread the word about this episode 🙏🏻
@@AmericanViscountess you got it
Wonderful!
Absolutely fabulous
A thoroughly enjoyable and educational video. Many thanks. I’m looking forward to the next one. 🇬🇧
So informative
Absolutely stunning video! I saw a similar public library in Washington DC. You could only touch certain books with white gloves and a security person present. It is amazing to see how well preserved that collection is.
Probably the US Library of Congress - or. maybe the National Archives - it was likely the first.
Wow amazing 😮 we live in Wimborne
Fabulous. I enjoyed every moment. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
WOW is all I can say!
This is one of my favorite episodes. So informative!
So glad!
Lovely episode. Thank you
Incredibly delightful and very well done 🏆👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you!!
My hometown!
All this is what I love about England.
💋Another fantastic and interesting vlog Julie! You are outdoing yourself! Continued Blessings and Support. Happy🎄Christmas to you, your team and family. ~Love&Light♥️Carli
Love outfit of the day!!
I agree it was fascinating!
Absolutely love your videos. Hello and Merry Christmas from South Carolina.
I can’t imagine a chained library!
I must say, well done your videos are fascinating. Merry Christmas.
You do have this history. As many North Americans forget is that you were English or European before you were American. That makes their history YOUR history.
Wow a chained library!
I look forward to your videos … very well done and informative! One day, I need to visit the castles of my ancestors (roots go back to the Plantagenets). LOL, my dad had a ‘56 Corvette…your turquoise and white brought back memories. I live near Libertyville, IL as your intro says you’re an Illinois girl. You are creating wonderful content … I’m a huge fan!
So nice of you! thank you!
I wonder if there is any record of what happened to the original clock mechanism? The 1386 clock at Salisbury was found about a hundred years ago, tucked away in a little room, where it had apparently been stashed after it was replaced with a newer mechanism. It was cleaned and repaired, and is now working again. Wouldn't it be amazing if the mechanism that drove this beautiful ancient dial turned out to be still in existence somewhere!
You didn't show the oldest bit of the Minster, the tiny fragment of Roman floor that you can see under one of the pews.
There are also, as you said, lots of wonderful things to see in the church, the only brass to an English King, the man in the wall who predicted his own death (and got it wrong) and others.
Very cool!
You look like a stained-glass window in that dress Julie!
I am wondering if it is a Liberty of London
There is a very lovely old church in st fagans museum in Wales it was a church for the Poor and because most people couldn't read back then the pictures are beautiful drawn on the walls. I know it's not a big place of worship but it is brilliant that the museum has preserved it. The church there is called St Teilos church
Good evening from Nashville Tennessee.
Спасибо..Очень интересно
The man in charge of the clocks in the church didn't seem to have a british accent...? Is that correct?
What was happening with the collection of organ pipes in the side of the chapel? Is the pipe organ being restored? Can you do a video about the pipe organ in that beautiful church? Thanks.
Mr Hanham forgot to mention Alfred "the Great"'s brother, Henry the VIII's grandparents, the "Man in the Wall" amoungst many many other gems in the Minster (the acoustics are pretty unique too).
I'm suprised you haven't added a section at the end of your trips to all these places "A review of the local sandwiches".UA-cam LOVES a food review and I'm sure the US audience would jump on your title 😉 (there's also several very good sarnie shops around Deans Court & the Minster). Very cool idea for both of your channels - I hope they go down well & you get plenty of subscribers.
Very interesting! How did you learn the history when you first moved there?
I’m a bass chorister there !
The wheel in your car is on the left side??? Wouldn’t it be confusing? Or is it just a matter or reorienting? The other cars in traffic must be confused.
There are plenty of right hand drive classic British cars here in America.
It's not something you'll see every day but they do exist here.
Also most of our Postal Service delivery cars are right hand drive so they can easily put our letters into our mailboxes.
Did you just roast a classic car
Julie was born and raised in the US, so she's used to driving from the left side.... even though she's lived in England much of her life. I think her driving is like her yoga - she's flexible, lol. Isn't that car beautiful? It's one of my all-time favorite classic cars!
@@suzannes5888 It is a beautiful car!!
In London I've seen several 1956 or 1957 Chevrolets and Ford T-Birds.
Also plenty of Mustangs all left hand drive cars.
At the same time I can go up from coastal south Texas to Houston or Dallas and buy a left hand drive Morgan Plus 4 or 6.
If I want to buy vintage I can get a Jaguar or Aston Martin right hand drive.
And I have a feeling that the Viscountess driving that beautiful classic Corvette would most certainly garner attention wherever she would choose to drive it.
But I have to say one thing for sure:
It suits her very well!!
Cheers from Corpus Christi, Texas and I hope all y'all have a very Happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year!!
Do the bells ring at midnight too? Im sure that sounds like a ridiculous question to some but, I would think bells going offst midnight, 1am, 2am etc...would be completely obnoxious.
