An imposing country house with a vast estate, Kingston Lacy in Dorset was beloved of William Bankes, even after he was cruelly sentenced to death and forced to flee the country.

Let's be honest, they were right to banish him. Look at how the modern era has turned out now that we have embraced this nonsense. Children groomed in schools and "gender affirmation" surgeries. What next? Bestiality? Enough is enough. God save England from these wicked souls!

It's awful that he was almost killed for being gay… however, I can't feel too much pity because that's a lot of artifacts that he STOLE from their original countries…
It is horrible how bigoted Britain was toward the queer people even compared to many countries of Continental Europe of that time, to which the French Revolution brought the decriminalisation of homosexuality.
More LGBT propaganda…
Anyone else see a Daisy May Cooper resemblance in the portrait of Dame/Lady Mary?
What an interesting, fascinating man, I would have LOVED to know him, imagine spending time with him – must have been such fun even just to see those straight laced Victorians shocked into another oh so proper level ………..ha ha
Booo this story is trash!! talk about how the banks got their money
Interesting. Our modern society does not always understand the the society of early times.
He seems so delightful and I feel we would have been fast friends, he is so amazing smart artistic. I feel so heartfelt sorry he had to run and hide 😢
Prince Andrew the Skank Boo
The empire stealing priceless parts of culture and refusing to see the wrong? Never!
What an amazing man!!!
You’ll need to return that stolen, looted obelisk back to Egypt where it belongs!
"Adventures"
The great houses had land that needed to be managed. I'm not surprised that the families were educated in agricultural sciences, botany etc.
I find the script for this so tiresome. trite.
He seems like a narcissist.
I marvel at the defenses that castles used to keep the occupants secure and relatively safe. I have said a few times on channels showing how easy it is to break down some doors to homes and mentioned that homes need to take hints from those days to figure out how to better secure our homes against invasions from scum. People often arm themselves with guns instead of just using tactics to better secure their homes.
People in my country want to turn the clock back, sadly.
Not William Bankes being goals
I love red doors! ♥️
no mention of giving the stolen obelisk back to egypt..
I want to know more about William Banks, but this vid keep yakking on and on about restoring painting, hierogliph etc.
Interesting that they chose a bipedal cow to chat about the livestock.😉🤭
There was a story line on that British dhow about a gay man.
Wonderful video. My question could this be where the term turn coat have been originated ? This home is beautiful to the maximum.
I wish I could see the painting after cleaning. I got intrigued when she cleaned the spot and it was blue under it
