Does this video contain the fullness of the everlasting gospel?
Reminds me of the Biltmore in North Carolina.
Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy 😊.I have been earning $ 60,200 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days✓🇺🇲
oh beautiful house. a chapel ? lol he build him self a church !
It is not a home. It is a CASTLE!
29:08 Eddie Marsan could play the grocer!! LOVE that man!!
I have a question, while taking out Guana and in a process getting so rich, did he share with the wealth with native people?
Thanks!
It’s beautiful
you can cut yourself…"but, don't worry you won't cut yourself in-HALF…" oh. a relief..🤣 This LatheMan is an Action Hero. I want him on my team.
I like Alan. His style reminds me of Tony Robinson, who I dearly miss. I find it ironic that everything is kept and cared for within these houses so that they remain a time capsule of their era. I watch a good many urban exploration content and so many of the English abandoned houses I see have a good deal of the same items, but all is covered in dust, mold and decay. The only difference between them are money and someone to care.
Just imagine if one of these ever so popular renovation shows showed up. They would throw out everything after that they would remove every wall possible and paint all the walls white. Because they have absolutely no decorative sense. That house is absolutely gorgeous. Not everything is in my taste but I wouldn't change anything.
Why are these foolish commenters so bent on hating? Not all wealthy people were or are bad decorators, crooks or colonizers! If you can’t enjoy without finding fault with everything, look elsewhere for entertainment! STFU!
This guy or Tony Robinson I could literally watch anything with them in it
Even with all his wealth it's a wonder he didn't go bankrupt by building the mansion and wound up in debtor's prison!!!
The house is beautiful but guano isn't just all bird droppings
Not to judge at all but the chef's HEAVY regional accent very much caught be by surprise
❤
Era un uomo molto influente Rico amava la eleganza sui mobili erano di tutti sotisficato eleganza classe sfrenato dove andava costruiva castelli in tutta la valle di Francia e Inghilterra more in la segunda battaglie di Sansone contra li Viking ❤️
william was a poet playwright of the 500s poetry writer painter of contemporary art much loved by the people England 🌌❤️
Every object and hidden treasure of his works had been placed in London archives (500)
Nice information presented, but the title is totally misleading. They didn't address what it would be like to grow up in such a home at ANY point. Either it's a lazy, clickbait title or someone messed up.
I love watching these so much. My family actually came from England over on the Mayflower, I'm a direct descendant from William Bradford governor of the colony somewhere along there some Native American was added. My mom's family maiden name is in the Book of Harold with the crown jewels, I have a picture of the coat of arms somewhere in my papers but my mom has all the documentations. And then on my dad's side I'm German and Italian one grandparent came from Germany one was from Italy and came to America, and my dad had siblings. And we even had knights from the Italian side, So I thought it was really cool how on one side of the family we were there for the creation and then my dad was first generation here, it always brought up cool information when it came to Family Tree stuff for school. I had no fun having to translate everything into French for French class though. I became a wonderful sought out chef and Baker and cake decorator so I feel like I at least did the family proud some before I had permanent nerve and muscle damage along with the list of other stuff that kept me from continuing that and my art unfortunately.
2.000 livres !!!! J'en ai bien plus que cela chez moi, je lis beaucoup et vite et relis parfois. Pas une semaine sans achat de livres
I don’t believe this place was built and payed for by a commoner:::::::::::?.
I wish you made shorter videos (5-10min) in top of those documentaries, would be easier to watch during free time than a whole 40 min youtube vid
I like how it isn’t dark inside.
I love the program, but I have to give a shout-out to the female presenter . She really shows how chic and classy a senior can continue to present herself. Her short, gray haircut is fabulous. Checkout the back view also. Oh la la.
This series is just so delightful! I've been really looking forward to Fridays for a whole new reason.
Explain: two and a half thousand? 2,500? 250,000? 25,000? Which is it?
Umm holy cow! Queen Victoria thought it was ugly?! That's crazy!
An entertaining piece ruined by self-promoting interruptions.
If you hope to monetize your channel by spoiling your own work, all I can say is no sub for you.
Victorian homes had character and personality, unlike the ticky-tacky boxes of today.
Thank You!!
From all possibilities of earning money back then…guano was one if the worth. This guy was no nice man. His castle is quite beautiful. But he wasn't nice at all.
Tony was great! Why was Louis not wearing gloves?! I was freaking out every time he touched something, lol.
Poorly done
Love this house!
they should do one of these on harlaxton house it's part owned by a school now
Oh my goodness! What a house! Although, as you say, "It's not exactly cosy." As a Neo Edwardian, it was the smaller town house that set my heart on fire. I can totally see myself living there. Minus that Lino floor. Historic, or not, that would have to go.
