What took them so long? I am so happy to see them finally preserving these precious buildings. Thank you.
Likely cost and bureaucracy.....usually the big hold ups for anything like this. Even for private owners.
My wild guess is a shortage of funds available due to Covid and lack of visitors to all the Trusts’ properties. Now they’re getting their financial feet back.
I appreciate the the Trust isn't a bottomless financial well, but my heart hurts for all the beautiful properties that the Trust couldn't save. Thankfully, those that have been saved are a wonderful collection of our richest family histories.
I’ve searched for this series and couldn’t find it! Thank you!!!!!
This was spectacular and fascinating. Does anyone know if there are more episodes in this series? I absolutely adored it! 🍸
The series is the 'Secrets of the National Trust with Alan Titmarsh' from Channel 4 in the UK and had 24 episodes.
@@iainrendle7989 Thank you!
Thank you Absolute History. 👍
Great & Amazing piece of Restoration . What a place and it’s history behind . Rich indeed !!.
Greetings from The Central Coast of California .
The home of Vita Sackville-West where she grew up and had numerous affairs with women in the early 1900 to mid 1950 - Violet Keppel (neeTrefusis) and later Virginia Woolf with many in-between. As a woman, she was not permitted to inherit Knowle which broke her heart and she never really got over it due to the unfairness of it all. She married Harold Nicolson (at Knowle) and had two sons who have both passed on. Harold also, like his wife, had liaisons with various gentleman, as she had affairs with women - and yet they loved each dearly. One of the sons, Nigel, wrote a rather beautiful and moving tribute to his parents in a "Portrait of a Marriage." Vita was a well respected novelist in her own right, as was Harold, having been a British politician, diplomat, historian, biographer, diarist, novelist, lecturer, journalist, broadcaster, and gardener.
It must be so satisfying to remove the smoke and dirt of 400 years from the artwork and textiles.
I have a question...did the Sackville's own this estate before or after they inherited bag end from Frodo Baggins?
😁👍
They bought it after.....it wasn't inherited.
When she started just ripping the tissue off the priceless oil painting like it was a 1 year old photo..... (Face palm. I can't look!!!) LOL! Great video! Thank you!
The professional restorer probably wouldn't have let her pull it if the paper wasn't nearly falling off.
What an amazing piece of architecture. So much history. With my utter fascination with King Henry the VIII, this is definitely now on my bucket list.
Thank you for taking us along.
Wow! I want to visit! Thanks
Under stairs, never heard that before. Lol
As always, all the best to everyone. Chef Scott 👩🍳
That is like 100 hunting lodges ...It's huuuuge....
I would love to have seen these in their prime.
I wonder if they find single socks lol
I Can picture the Tudors walking around in that beautiful castle.
Archiving smell? That is really interesting!
Anneka Rice handle that plaster and trowel like a boss.
🤡 27:45 - he gingerly peels the protective tissue ever so slowly-
👹 she elbows in, declaring through
her lockjaw that it appears a
satisfying task,
then rips through it
like she's peeling
a waxing strip for facial hair!
Wow.
Taper burn marks
Ritual burn marks

And you think someone from History Hits is going to see your comment here and react to it........doorp!!!!!!
@@iainrendle7989 Well, he warned the rest of us. And someone running the channel may have the job of checking comments. No need for name calling, your sarcasm is much more effective without it.
I find it historically ironic that witch marks were found beneath the boards of the floor in the chamber King James I stayed in to protect "someone" perhaps him from evil. James I as most history buffs know, was obsessed with fighting witchcraft during his reign.
What about the rain?
What about it.....Knole House is in Britain, an island surrounded by the sea, it definately rains!!!!!!!
Please don't insult the galleries by comparing them to facebook.
I like how rich folk of the past didn't give a shit about preserving their past and just modernized their digs as they liked.
Spending all that money on restoring the glories of past oppressors seems over the top to me.
Comment by a true socialist that believes that anyone has more money than them is an oppressor (unless they are the mega rich Socialist or Communist Politicians like Tony Blair, Tony Ben, Putin, Gorbavhov, Stalin etc ......whether you agree with the people that collected these articles is irrelevant but their preservation of the history is important for future generation. Even Stalin did not destroy the Tsar's Winter and Summer palaces or sell off the majority treasures and artworks because he was very aware that a nation with no history has no future.
It can be seen as an odd way of preserving the original building(s) behind the one that's being restored. Ironically the renovations of the past preserved the original houses that were there and continued to preserve them. At some point the more modern shells could be reconstructed with a modern under structure and the original house behind the walls be restored to their original glory. Or possibly simply be carefully fully peeled back to reveal the original structure and a copy built somewhere else
Well, perhaps you can appreciate the artistry, craftsmanship, and hard work of the artists, artisans, workers, and servants who created, built, and maintained the house and its furnishings for many centuries.
@@timhazeltine3256 Except that they are for the most part nameless as befits their unimportance in the society that built these things.
@@randenpederson4784 Nameless but their craft speaks for them. Most people do die forgotten by all but the few who knew of them
Women are usually very good finishers! At least in the drywall world. I’ve always thought it had something to do with frosting cakes, very similar techniques, lol.
This was weird… Nile house; and dinosaur tracks…
I am in OZ , this is YOU TUBE? and yet I have to use a VPN to watch this? WTF!
It might be restricted viewing for History Hit where you are
Too little palace, too many talking heads.
And your thumbnail is a misleading lie. You present it like that is the whole episode when it's only an extract from a completely different show.
They do this a lot. It's stupid, and annoying. One headline about a specific craft led to maybe 10 mins about it, with nearly none it useful or applicable.
Misleading Lie? It is the full episode minus the titles at the start and end. What different show is this an extract of?
This is actually one episode of 5 series, comprising of 24 episodes from Channel 4 in the UK called 'The Secrets of the National Trust with AlanTitmarsh, which was showing the work carried out by the National Trust and how they are restoring and conserving of British heritage and significant properties. So instead of making negative comment it would be better to be more assured of the actual facts rather than your version of inaccurate facts.
@@PeaceLoveHonor Join a library and read books rather than watch videos on UA-cam if you want concentrated information, facts or knowledge on a specific. These tv programmes, documentaries and videos are designed as snapshots of information to the keep the average TV watcher with shorter attention spans interested and viewing.
@@iainrendle7989
Or to pique someone’s interest so they can learn more about history. No need to call anyone a dimwit for watching videos.
@@Carol-D.1324 When did I call someone a Dimwit......I highlighted the difference between the information contained in a video versus that contained in a book, and suggested that versus the comment if someone wanted more information then use the media with more concentrated information i.e. a book. So please explain why you thought it nessecary to make your comment.
So the kings and queens have being fight for the well being and welfare that made Europe a better place. need them.
I was going to watch this until I heard the word "celebrities".
Relevance to watching or not watching it???????
@@iainrendle7989 Pretty obvious. With "celebrities" it's "I'm famous for probably a vapid reason or my looks and ability to jabber on and I don't really know much about this topic but I will run my mouth and show my teeth, in an appalling grin, and that will take the place of substance in what I say." aka For Entertainment Purposes Only.
With presenter who knows topic, actual intelligent discussion of information is provided.
min was hoping for intelligent discussion. I watched it, it wasn't TOO dumbed down...
Aren’t you deep?
Meanwhile I eat salad in February in the Southern hemisphere
Another misleading title/thumbnail…
Do you *want* to lose subscribers?
Because *this* is how you lose subscribers.
What is so misleading that you are so aggrieved and suggesting that it might cause lose of subscribers?
Knole House was 'gifted' to Henry 8th and because of the amount of land attached and the Weald in Kent, which was accessable from barges from Greenwich and Eltham Palaces as close to the Medway River, and open land with lots of deer and boar was great for hunting, so became a prime hunting venue for Henry and his large retinue of sycophants.
@@iainrendle7989 Noticeable that after waving H VIII in our faces, it's all about Sackville. And all the centuries of renovation. Those who came just for H VIII are likely to be disappointed. Thanks for clarifying the history so well though.
How is it misleading ? It says “inside the fight to save knole house” and that’s what they talk about
