- We would all love to live in a cottage. It is the national fantasy - thatch on the roof, roses over the door, fire in the grate. Dan is in Stoneleigh in the beautiful Warwickshire countryside. The village has barely changed in 500 years, its cottages perfectly preserved. But even better, there is a treasure trove of documents in the local abbey which reveal centuries of daily life in extraordinary detail. Whether it is the pub owner fined for serving poor beer, the widow told to pay for her new home with her best chicken, or the first glass windows in the village, this film charts the cottage's transformation from humble medieval hovel to modern dream home.

We adore the host/presenter Dan Cruickshank's mannerisms and storytelling skills, Wonderful show, Thank you!
The written records of the past are so illuminating. How will future generations know about us?
That glass blowing segment is mind blowing. Amazing.
I knew that was Stoneleigh from the outset, I was born only a couple of miles up the road in Finham.
What an enduring documentary, wonderful to learn how different time periods shaped and transformed the modest cottage into the cozy homes we all know today.
Love Dan Cruickshank. He's the best living history presenter. He tells the stories in-depth with passion and enthusiasm, and very visual explanation and demonstration. An English national treasure, our Dan.
John Romer is still Alive
Love Dan
@@JacobafJelling that’s nice
@@JacobafJelling who is Mr. Romer? Forgive me for not knowing..
Thank you.
Cruickshank is an English treasure in his own right.
Very good documentary. Everyone loves a picturesque cottage
Watching this was our English homework. #cottages
Dan Cruickshank is the David Attenborough of architecture 😀
Cruickshank >>> Attenborough
LOVE ! DAN CRUICKSHANK SUPER GREAT PRESENTER !!!! THANKS ! FROM (2022).
Interesting how the displacement of a whole population of tenants, whose families had lived in Stoneleigh for generations, is passed over with one sentence. Worked out fine for the wealthy landowner, because he had lots of middle-class buyers. But of those forced out, nary a further mention.
Dan Cruikshank: “The wood is a symbol of feminine power, the great goddess.”
Construction worker: “It’s medieval bling.”
It’s adorable.
Fascinating history of how housing design develops. Thanks very much.
In America the log home was so less arduous, less fancy details but constructed simplistic. Logs fitting together with notches then the mixture of clay and grass to fill in the gaps. So very warm in winter. But the English are so much more artistic with their early homes!
The wonderful Mr Cruickshank!
Absolutely fascinating ❤
love the cottage
I would love to know what happened to the families who lived in those cottages for generations.
Good ole dan!
Here for unintentional ASMR/relaxation ☺️
He is the best for unintentional ASMR! ☺️
I thought I was the only one! 😄
Wow.
❤️ meraviglioso
Goodness he does love saying "the lord of the manor..."
Great episode. Thanks for posting.
It’s no wonder my ancestors took a leap across the ocean to the new world. Plenty of trees and resources, but they didn’t share very well with my other ancestors, the American Indian.
I can't stop seeing David Mitchell in a cream suit flailing around narrating until he's got his arms strapped to his side
@55:05 Can't decide which I like better: "candelambra" or "the dogs hairs would show up on the red plush."
This series is fascinating. I doubt these buildings would be allowed in North America.
The animated graphics are good and really helpful.
Glassblowing workshops bloomed around Seattle so there's a lot of glassblowers here now. Ironwork is big too, gorgeous gates and such.
I'm really shocked that someone of Dan Cruikshank's standing would get the story of the English cottage so wrong! The buildings he's in were not the dwelling of the humble poor. Farmers yes,freemen who were actually a way up the social order. Cottage or cotts, were originally the dwellings of the poor, the labourer, the ploughman. More like a bender than the timber frame,lathe and plaster structures we call cottages now. Even in Victorian times the rural poor lived in squalor, barely protected from the elements in cobbled together shacks. The sort of buildings he's looking at were a real cut above, that's why they survived. Real cottages collapsed and disappeared as soon as they were vacated, often being temporarily built on marginal land in the first place.
31:49. Leigh may have achieved immortality, but he looks pretty miserable about it doesn't he? =D
Oh how sad that those families who lived there for generations had their homes sold out from under them.
An example of the original...I’ll allow you to live off the land...at my benefit...but if you do not create a proper living that affords YOU the ability to upkeep the building/land, so rented...it is forfeited and I get to suck the ever living life out of you and your wife and children whilst snagging another to attempt the same. All the risk is on the tenet whilst “the monastery” reaps every reward!!! The tenant has no ability to create a more equitable deal with the monastery and therefore throws fate into the wind. These monasteries had ENORMOUS legal power over the average person who was merely seeking a chance at finding security for his family while working for the monastery which was, truly, his master. These people were VERY brave indeed!!! Flip a coin, in whose favor will it land? Is this really the function of a God fearing, “monastery”?
You're comparing a tenant's life on a monastery to a modern life. It's easy to paint this as oppressive compared to the freedoms we have today. But for these families, they were living better than many tenants.
Are there any still-occupied medieval cottages? Those that are still just two rooms and open to the rafters?
Not really , would you like to live choking on woodsmoke in a dark and gloomy interior or smoke which makes your eyes sting like crazy ? Very bad if you have asthma or any respiratory condition.
Why does Dan whisper like there are sleeping people everywhere he goes? He's the epitome of "stuffiness" with the semblance of deep interest.
have you said the other half or class would live, that's correct, some would call them people. How all people would live except those who escape normal life, usually not a happy life except for small number of them. You showed us what you have and we would like to share you what we have, britain is two halvs, london half and country side half, london doesn't seem to be a european but a roman, and it is not acctually a half but ten percent out of ninety percent, so britain is two forms, one is ten percent and the other is ninety percent, britain country side is european in all senses, its sound, its smell , its look, its touch and its taste. Which better depend on what you love most, money or life. Europe is a good place to enjoy life.
Talks rather like David Attenborough?
lol cant half tell the dudes never used a hammer in his life 17:13 .
Love his coat. Any clues as to what it is and where to purchase?
Looks like a Barbour Stockman waxed coat - or similar - expensive brand but they are hard wearing 😊
@@elizabethfinlay9866 thank you for the information. Very kind of you to reply 😄
This was the way the rich and poor lived in those days, Christian or not. Did not the Lords and ladies and people of the court live lavishly while the poor wasted away? Those who had money used that for payment, but those who didn't obviously had to pay some other way. The RC church did do a lot of damage, but that was THEIR GREED, not what God asked them to do. Did the church ask them to do that? You think this was done only in Christian nations? The plight of the poor in other countries were worse than animals.
Does this make you conveniently forget the Christian martyrs who fought for the poor, the widows and the orphans?
I was so excited to listen to this program, but I am so disappointed in this man's anti Christian commentary and self righteousness, and to listen to his 'sacred feminine shape' absurdity was enough to turn me off.
Overthinking a bit.
@@banjopete Not at all,the privileged ,have always stepped on the necks of the needy. Maybe its time You thought!!!! Tosser.
Tudor house is good and harm full
For me he's unwatchable. I just can't get over his hands flashing dramatically for every word he utters. It's too bad, because I like the content and he seems like a nice guy.
You mean English home don’t you
These people who came in AFTER the land lords decided to make a profit on all that the hard working people had brought into and tried to make good on...because the land lord demanded it, is quite unsightly, at best!!!! Talk about profiting off of those who came before you, this is a disgrace... not a land mark invention!! I find this an abhorrent abuse of the land owners on the good natured intent of the struggling and striving of the renter! The land owner always had the upper hand and could lawfully exert that upper hand for his own benefit at the expense of the one who was actually creating value in the residence and LAND!!! This is more despicable than is acknowledged in this documentary!!!
For many of owners of these estates, it is the only way to pay inheritance tax and other taxes. Now manor houses open to the public to make revenue for upkeep.
@@spoochymcgoo1616 fuck the land owners.they are where Trump,learned to rule his properties.I hope they all are burning in HELL!!!!!!!
