What a beautiful home John and Gela have. I love all the ornate fireplaces and the grounds are lovely.

Thankfully this beautiful house was saved.

I loved this programme. I am a descendant of the Long family and it’s great to know more about them, I wouldn’t exist without them. Would love to actually visit the house.

How great these new owners did not make it modern (imagine the plumbing if it were to be turned into a hotel; the whole house would have to be stripped) but decided to use authentic furnishings that compliment the surroundings.

Superb! Enjoyed this series so much. Mr Cruikshank enchanting as always. Thank you’ve much, the photography is outstanding.

Absolutely stunning, beautiful house. Delighted to know it is well looked after by the current owners.

Ha! I was just shopping with a friend a few hours ago and had some juicy couture items in my hand and was telling my friend who the lady is and that’s she’s married to J.T etc, and now I watched this. What a coincidence! I had no idea they bought this splendid house. Good for them! And I love what they’ve done with the place. ❤️

Sir Henry Long was my 12x, Sir Robert my 11x & Sir Walter my 10x ggrandfathers. So 1st, I just want to thank you for sharing w/ me my family's history & showing me this incredible ancestral home. You did a fabulous job & it really touched my heart. Then can I say how shocked & saddened I was to hear that the last Long sold it un '65! Thank God that there is at least someone there now that has tried to preserve & keep it as it should be!!! I hope one day I may travel to England & see it (I would love to be able to walk the grounds & touch the walls my ancestors built - but now that it is a private home I prob would not be allowed to do so).

this was probably the most delightful revealed manor house in the series, mainly because it did not have that irritating and absurd hymn and choir music being played when the narrator entered the great hall or gushed about something. whoever is responsible for ruining an otherwise superb documentary with this totally out of place musical cacaophony should definitly be consigned to listening to a loop of it for eternity.

Wow! It’s stunning!!

Incredible and gracious we LOVE Dan

The chair that Gela is sitting in is magnificent

Robert Kime did the sensitive and atmospheric decorations.

Love this home ❤️ And Dan is great👍❤️

as an american that lived in the uK, i don't think most people realize how much $$$$$$ it takes to upkeep these homes. many are sold to be hotels or donated to National Trust. I love that she was walking around in her very high heels :)

good band for their time seen em 6 times dd made one drive raher fast ,,young them i need a keyboad misin keys some when whant 2 .may work ,,,,

Neat medieval home. But, I could not live there. Way too dark and depressing for me. No offense to John and Gela, of course.

Did anyone else spot the ghostly little shape fluttering across the floor from 12:02 to 12:07?

Terrific documentary. It's sad enough that these magnificent, long-held family estates are sold but to think that they end up in the hands of some tacky, uncultured, nouveau riche American is enough to make one feel quite ill. :-(

My question is ... where is John Taylor?

Hmmm... its seems so sad that when the lady and her husband got married, they decided that they "could not" live there...so much of her history...hundreds of years. Well its those who have the gold spoon don't realise how fortunate they are...but on the other hand at least someone who has a appreciation for the history, the architecture could carry it on. But its still sad though that some other family member couldn't carry it on

Lovely presentation. I just hope that more English don't think of all Americans as being like Gela. I saw her on an episode of GORDON WATSON Wants Everything! (LOL, or whatever the show is called) and found her kind of typical "L.A.-ish".

Seems like them Longs had it Long enough!! Top 🎩 rich tyrants 🙌🙄🧐🤔😂😂😂😂

I hope that furry looking creature on her shoulder is not a peice of dead animal ..ufff can't believe she would use anything but false fur 🙌🙄🧐🤔the house is great 👍

I was going to say, being American, it is a privlege to be able to see something we just don't have, ancient houses, ancient history, but now I'm distracted by Gela's imitation of a goat- her cloven hooved boots, her utter lack of style, despite owing Juicy, she is the reason the English roll their eyes at Americans. Learn to articulate Gela- add some words to your vocabulary.- and bonus, David Najor's comments, while having nothing to do with this wonderful program, were quite entertaining. It's almost as if he speaks of witchcraft- no normal woman could possibly do those horrible things to a man, unless he allowed himself to be duped- stop being a victim David.

The only thing terribly interesting about an English country home is his architecture and its objects. I don't care about the history of the family just about their possessions.

We all get hurt by people from time to time, sounds like you have some serious women issues, get some psychological help and move on.

I like the history of great houses in the UK. And therefore a lot of this series. But ... the nonsense about ghosts, haunting things etc. is irritating. Why should you give attention to supersticious, occult tales? A country with the most beautiful Christian heritage in churches, hymns and culture should be ashamed by including such rubbish in a serious documentary: A historic video unworthy in my opinion. But the rest of it is lovely to watch. Thank you for sharing. From Holland with ❤

Pretty cool house, pity someone from Duran duran bought it i say give it to the Rolling Stones!
