I LOVE HISTORY HIT and use it for a lot of my ROYAL history research!
-----------------------
Not only is Beaulieu home to the National Motor Museum, but also to the extraordinary ruins of Beaulieu Abbey, which date back to the foundation of the monastery here in the thirteenth century. The more I visit historic houses around Britain, the more I realise how many of them have monastic roots. In this episode, Lord Montagu guides me around some of the surviving buildings and shows me the exquisite wall hangings, stitched by his mother, which chart the history of the abbey. I also explore a hidden part of the Beaulieu estate where the well used by the monks still survives today. And I end my visit at the newly restored ice house - a glimpse back to the days when historic houses functioned more like life in the tv series, Downton Abbey.

This is such a delightful and gentle exploration of the beauties of Beaulieu. My goodness, they've worked hard to repair, renovate and restore the estate - all whilst becoming the nation's preeminent motor car museum. We can only thank the family for their dedication and loving care. We're so lucky to have so many beautiful estates and so many hardworking families who keep them running. And, has anyone mentioned already how much Lord Beaulieu's voice is like Luke's? Must be those Montague genes!

You tickled me Julie when your first thought was to take a dunk in the spring house water! And the glamping idea. The wheels in your mind always turning!

Julie, your returning to the ruins to sit and contemplate the history, nature and life in general reminded me of the time while in the Glastonbury Abbey ruins, I got something in my eye while wearing my contact lenses. I sat down on a ruined wall, to see if I could dislodge the grit that seemed to be in there. With tears streaming down my face, it appeared to passers-by that I might be weeping for the murdered monks from centuries before. A couple of nuns walked by and saw me, and muttered a prayer. I didn't have the heart to tell them that it was a bit of grit that had caused the tears, but thinking later and now decades later, I wonder if that grit was 'sent' to make me sit and ponder as you recently did! This is a fabulous series! You are so lucky to visit these centuries old landmarks and we are so grateful to you for sharing the 'up close' views and personal memories of the current occupants of these wonderfully historic sites! Thank you so much! Looking forward with great anticipation to the next in the series!

I think it would be fun if you went on a genealogical exploration of your own. My cousin has done an extensive genealogical study on my father side of the family. They were a few surprises, perhaps the most that John Seymour via his youngest daughter Dorothy is my 14th great grandfather. So I started working on my mother side and it’s taking me a couple of years but with the help of the Church of the latter-day Saints and their massive genealogical database I was able to go back into my English ancestry. I knew my mother‘s grandfather had most of his history and colonial Massachusetts and he was very easy to trace because there are one or two famous names and everybody knows that people in Massachusetts are crazy about their genealogy in case they were descended from the Mayflower. I am not although Eli Smith’s family made an appearance in 1624. But once those names appeared the latter-day Saint database started to compare records. It took quite a few months to go through all of their records and compare and make sure that it was the same person but once a critical puzzle piece hits holy moly guacamole. I started to look back and a name caught my eye. Henry Pole. The Countess of Salisbury, my 14th great grandmother. Montagues throughout my ancestry. All the way back to William the conqueror via John of Gaunt. I found that the first Duke of Norfolk is my 18th great grandfather. Anne Boleyn, the aunt of Queen Anne Boleyn, is a 13th great grandmother. She was the governess to Elizabeth I. If this little old lady sitting in Arizona is so connected to her home country it would be interesting to see if Julie is one of the millions of cousins that are probably out there in the world. It was a fascinating journey for me. Sadly it also means that Henry the eighth is my cousin 13 times removed and murdered a few members of my family.

I would love to visit it too, way more than a car museum (sorry). I am wondering who is buried underneath. That would be interesting, but I wouldn't want them to tear anything up. Let it rest. Also, as a member of the Embroiderers' Guild of America, I am fascinated by the tapestries. Xoxo

I’ve recently found your channel and after watching some of the videos I really think you could start a tourism business taking people to some of these lesser known landmarks in the UK. You could write up the notes for each place from the videos you have made and hire some tour guides to take groups to see them. I know there are already plenty of tourism companies but I think these types of places would set you apart from the companies that just take people to the palaces and churches that everyone knows about.

It's wild how different life has become in such a short period of time. It honestly becomes mind boggling to think about, how much humanity has learned and created since this place was constructed. The fact that somehow, in the last 50 years, humans figured out how to create things like the internet, microchips, that we have smart phones and video and satellites, something that could have been technically created at any point, I mean, it's not like we were just given the things needed to create these things one day, the ability has always existed on Earth, people just needed to figure out how to do it....and with that industrialization and push towards technology and science, look how much we've learned and how much we know, compared to the people in the medieval times. They didn't know about evolution, didn't know about the big bang, didn't know dinosaurs once existed, I think that is why religion was so important in those days, humans have always craved answers and wondered what our purpose here was....as great as it is to live in a time where we have so much knowledge at our fingertips, it also must have been nice to NOT know, to be able to believe in things like God(s)

From my point of view, we need to invest smartly if we need the good things in life. so far, I've made over $355k in raw profits from just q4 of the market from my diversified portfolio strategy and I believe anyone can do it if you have the right strategy. Mutual funds take a long time, but investing smartly is the key for the short term. Most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest position in the market to the cost of proper diversification.

Thank you for spelling out how the name is pronounced. I have read about British history since my teenage years, and remember really odd pieces of info. 2 pieces: Wasn’t there a church leader with the same name as this family’s, maybe from around Henry VIII’s time? I always assumed the family name had French roots, and was probably originally pronounced with a French accent, and over the years, was gradually changed to the current pronunciation? Also, at some period in the distant past, being French was not something to brag about?
