BRITAIN'S 600 YEAR OLD CROOKED HOUSE// In this video, we'll meet the fascinating owners of Britain's 600-year-old wonkiest house. Alex & Oli have been living in the medieval Crooked House in Lavenham since 2021 and tell us all about its fascinating history and what it feels like to live in a 600 years old house. The Crooked House is one of the most photographed houses in the world and if you plan a visit to Lavenham, you must book a house tour (or one of the other amazing events) of the Crooked House as it's so fascinating. You will love it so much. In this video you will also learn whether the Crooked House is haunted or not. Enjoy! Kirsten & Joerg

Our English towns and villages are so special, as are the people who live in them. They are under serious threat from developers and councils all over England who are forcing new-build estates in their thousands. I pray we never lose our history and our lovely villages, once gone we can never get them back. I hope videos like this highlight how these places must be preserved. Beautiful video guys ❤

@@greywebs1944 not just the quality it’s the quantity. Theres something special about living in a small village or town. People know each other and families that go back generations. When hundreds of new people are thrown into the mix in one go, it totally alters the character of the place.

Thank you, Kirsten and Joerg, for another wonderful video! The Crooked House - its history, and the house itself, is positively extraordinary! Lavenham must be known for its crooked houses, as the town surely owns bragging rights to more than just the one. It's easy to understand why the town was used not once, but twice, as the backdrop for two of the Harry Potter movies. It has lovely charm, and is richly steeped in history . If, or when I ever get back to England, I'll be sure to visit Lavenham, and The Crooked House! Thank you both, again... You've made my day !

Liebe Kirsten und Jörg, es ist so schön dass es solche urige Häuser noch gibt. Ihr beide findet immer wieder etwas wo so interessant ist. Super! Die Besitzer vom Crooked House sind so nett. Aber ein bisschen gruselig ist es schon wenn man darüber nachdenkt was da schon alles passiert sein muss:)). Eine tolle Geschichte, und schön dass die beiden das Häuschen zeigen. Die ganzen alten Häuser wären ein wunderbares Zeichenmotiv. Euer Hotelzimmer sah auch sehr einladend aus. Die senkrechten Balken in dem Flur sehen dekorativ aus. Aber der Hammer war auch die Toilette mit der wunderschönen Tapete und dem Schwanhaken. Es hat so gar nicht nach Toilette ausgesehen. So etwas findet man selten. Zumindest hier in Deutschland habe ich sowas noch nicht gesehen. Ich bin wieder total begeistert von eurer wunderbaren Arbeit. Vielen Dank, und euch ein schönes Wochenende. Ganz herzliche Grüße, Gabi:-)

Being an American, it blows my mind to see such history. 629 year old home! Wouldn’t it be amazing if photos existed of the home from the beginning until today? I once learned on a video that these many homes in the UK where the 2nd story has a larger footprint than the first floor was done for lower property taxation which was based of dimensions of the structures footprint. Also, to stay proper distance from the street both based on lower level only.

Even though, I am not a fan of medieval buildings, but this is nice! Lol, I was planning to ask if it is haunted. I am so fascinated with paranormal, etc. The owners seem nice and awesome. Looks like it is your first interview with the owners of the buildings, your other videos are just of you two give a tour of each room, etc. You two did a good job on the interview and filming.

Oh such an enchanting video ! It was a pleasure to visit this medieval house I didn t know at all. The owners have a good heart to show their house and were so interesting to listen. This stunning village gives the sensation to walk through the past. A good moment to dream. Thank you for your videos so well filmed. ❤❤❤

Oh guys this video was so much fun! I never knew about the crooked house but I knew the poem, I am so glad to now know what the inspiration for the poem was, thank you! That house was so unique and wow, ghosts, don't think I would personally want to sleep there even though they are harmless ones 😁. You guys are the best!!

I found this gem somehow early in the morning and it totally made my day! 🌞🌞🌞 The possibility to feel the mood , the vibe of the house is totally because of the amazing way to tell and to show the story! Just difficult to describe the emotion I felt, watching this piece of history. Thank you so much! 🙋🌞✨✨✨

Gosh what a lovely video and so evocative of the olden times where magic was in the air and poets were abounding! I was brought up on poetry and stories so this took me back to childhood memories round our old Tudor fireplace in the 50’s with singing round the piano, board games and story telling . A simple and magical time i was fortunate to have and your video gave me that same beautiful gentle feeling. Thankyou Kirsten and Joerg for your efforts and sweetness. The world is better place with your in it❤

You two really bring us to the best places, this was such a charming visit. I'm a firm believer in our angels looking over us, Alex & Oli's made sure they got the crooked house. I wonder if they've looked into everyone who lived there and where visitors. Just has me wondering if their own ancestors where there, over 600 yrs, there's been a lot of people thru their door. Lastly, I see you guys have 38K new subscribers already, good for you, I'm sure they're loving going where you take us.

Wow! Definitely one of the coolest houses I've ever seen. My house is 116 years old and I've always been proud that it's old and the "connection" to the past. Well its brand new compared to this one. Excellent video!

That village is absolutely gorgeous and the crooked house is amazing. My father would recite the poem when I was growing up therefor I just had to go visit while staying with my cousin nearby. The crooked man was actually known as the village crook. That’s why he was so rich. 😂

Did not know the story of the crooked man. It is delightful and the house is beautiful. I love it. Thank you so much for bringing this special story to your viewers.

It is a USA child's poem called a "nursery rhyme". Like "Hickory Dickery Dock" etc.
