Athelhampton's conservationists, preserving the past with a considerate mind for the future. Bravo ❗

Superb video. The pacing is perfect for a house tour like this, lingering on the visuals just long enough to let the detail sink in. Love the small doses of cheeky British humour as well.

They have done such a wonderful job on the restoration of these rooms. The Elizabethan kitchen in particular is amazing (though personally I'd have kept the aga!). A really great video, you have a real talent for telling the history in such an engaging way and so thoroughly researched.

Thankyou. It's so lovely to visit these places that are so far away. (I'm in New Zealand).I love the birdsong - it really enhances the experience.

In October half term (28th Oct- 1st Nov) there is also a living history week. You can visit and many tudors will be wondering the manor who you can ask questions to as well as meeting the Martyn family and others who have connections to them. :)

This house featured as the home in the 2009 ghost story movie From Time to Time with Maggie Smith and Hugh Bonnerville (both from Downton Abbey). I think many scenes were filmed inside and outside. The movie was written by Julian Fellowes (who wrote Dowmton Abbey). It’s on KZfaq to view.

I think I may have seen this film at some point. I must watch it again sometime…

@@thehistory_student I just checked it (as I said it’s on KZfaq as well) and it most certainly is. Recognise the doorway and that little tower bit to the left that joined the wings. Good movie.

In the King's room, you can see the drag marks from the secret door on the floor to the left of the fireplace. It has made semi-circle shapped marks into the floor.

Very well spotted. I too noticed this whilst I was editing the video. Love a good secret door ❤️

I was privileged to visit, some years ago, the much smaller private apartments courtesy of the Cooke family.

The pinecones placed on chairs to disincentivize sitting may be seen as an invitation by some.

I played billiards with the Ghost Ape - he’s actually quite laid back and amiable.

I think about how many wonderful Trees had to felled to build these nohemouth houses. No wonder most are left to ruin in this day in time. I can't imagine heating these Enormous rooms ,upkeep etc . I'll bet it is Haunted.

Strange question, but what does these home smell like?

@zoesolanki961 3 ай бұрын

They smell musty and a bit beefy

Can anyone explain to me why the exteriors of these histoeic homes are left covered in filth? It seems to me that they would look polished, pristine, claen and sharp. Is it preference or would it be harmful to the stone? This is such a beautiful home. I say clean it up and keep it clean and gorgeous!

@mikee8605 4 ай бұрын

Yes, unfortunately the more you clean exterior masonry, the faster it degrades and the less hardy it becomes. Ironically, in many cases, the patina that these houses develop actually helps to protect them from the elements and can even aid in insulation.

@@mikee8605 Fascinating! Thank you for sharing that bit of wisdom. I appreciate it.
