    You speak well, your intelligent and lovely. Charles is lucky to have you in his life and to share his home and the history of the Spencer family with you. A huge asset to the family you are indeed.

    That the 7th Earl was such a forward thinking man to compile and research all he did was amazing as well as a herculean effort. And Edward, the archivist is another treasure for his organization & saving such documents. Thank you for sharing the immensity of what Althorpe has in history and minutae as treasures

    Even though I'm American and sort of anti-monarchy / anti-titles, I love these old stately homes in England and all the effort that's put into preserving them. My favorite room that I've seen is the library. It seems cozy and grand at the same time. But these are such interesting videos you've shown. I'm considering getting the book on Althorp.

    Well done Lady Spencer for sharing the history and journey of the family home. I am fascinated and following from home in Canada.

    Bruce Bailey is a National Treasure (world wide). Lady Spencer, I would seriously consider plying him with coffee and stimulants and bombard him with questions while filming. You can't afford to lose a smidgen what knows. Not only does he stand in the gap-he IS the gap. And so genuine and humble don't you agree?
    ~ WELL DONE Bruce! We can't thank the 7th Earl Spencer but we can thank you for taking the baton with the same measure of dedication. So deserving of award, recognition and perhaps even knighthood. Yeap, knighthood.

    Oh, this is fantastic! So many historical records around the world have been lost to fire, flood, insurrection, etc. Your family has the very rare blessing and burden of continuous documentation of centuries of history. This was an exciting peek into that world. I enjoy your channel so much, and appreciate that you spend so much time and effort on preservation.

    If you like learning history then this is a video that will teach you what had been saved by one family from the time of the Tudors. It is a famous family we learned of in the end of the last century. But here is the history from which it comes. Thank you.

    I am loving your site and am learning so much. One question that I have running through my mind is, with all of the senior staff who have documented such important information, do they have assistants or apprentices in case something happens to the senior staff?
    Keep up the great job working with all the history of the home. Thank you.

    Has the current Earl Spencer, written any books on the history of Althorpe? He is a historian and writer. That would be a fascinating read. Your home is rich with history.

    Have you shown your muniment room to Julie Montagu, Viscountess Hinchingbrooke, daughter-in-law of the 11th Earl of Sandwich so she might feel less daunted by her organization of their muniment room at Mapperton? Lol 📜🔎📖📚📒

    The archives are very maintain and would like to congratulate your family for at least having the foresight to do that. Thank you so much for sharing and really enjoyed seeing your archive room. Your family has a rich history and I am very glad that you're making sure it is not lost.

    I only wish the vlogs you put out were longer. More importantly, the history of the people who make things run smoothly! Also, more history would be nice. Coming from you, instead of looking it up, would make your vlogs more personable! I'm an American, so would much rather hear things from you, than having to look things up! If you don't have the time to do it, why do it?!
