It's nice to see youthful energy infused into an ancient estate. Congratulations on your wedding. Good luck creating income producing ideas, and thank you for taking us on your journey!
You are so charismatic and engaging to watch and learn from James. How lucky are we to get a weekly glimpse into your life. Thank you for sharing and your editing and filming is so beautifully put together. x
Congratulations on getting married!! Someone gave me a bit of advice and I wanna pass it on to you, go to bed laughing as much as you can! 😊💕 wishing you guys nothing but love and happiness!!
Quick one sir, all of us joint GCN and Francis Cade (Cade Media) supporters have unilaterally agreed you should definitely do a bike packing trip together in the not too distant future ❤ so glad to see you're still doing GCN and this amazing side project. I used to live in Long Newnton just outside Tetbury and absolutely adored the area ❤
Great video James, hope to visit again next year, I have been a couple of times, the first time I met your grandfather, he showed us the church and last time your Aunt Caroline showed us around. I look forward to trying the new Cafe in the Barn. Have a great wedding day tomorrow. Chavenage is in good hahds with you and Emma.
Greetings from Canada! First of all, we have to compliment you on the quality of the videos. The scripts flow naturally and the video work is very good, so we are happy subscribers. Secondly, with the GCN connection hosting cyclocross events on a regular basis seems like an obvious business opportunity as there is a built-in fan base already. And lastly, but most important, we wish James (aka Hank/Jimbo) and Emma a wonderful wedding tomorrow and a happy life together. Oh, and we were disappointed that the bicycle was not ridden back into the house at the end!
I cycled over last Sunday and enjoyed a great flat white and a fabulous slice of flapjack (OK, I admit it, I actually had 2 slices!) Also bumped into Olly who was there with some chaps from Bath. All the very best wishes to you & Emma for your wedding tomorrow & have a very Happy Christmas!
Congratulations on your marriage! Love the new channel. Happy New Year to you both. I will be sure to visit the house when I come to the UK. I love the Cotswolds area.
I love the video James, I appreciate you bringing your other passions into this video, and being able to be the you we know from GCN. Congrats to you and Emma.
Congratulations on your wedding. Advice I like to give newlywed men; the best thing you can do for your children, is to love their mother. Looking forward to how the manor looks in the summer.
The same advice applies to the ladies as well: the best thing you can do for your children is to love their father. The best thing for your marriage is to love your husband.
The average person being landed with all this land and history might be overwhelmed by the scary scale of it. Good job Hank is one of those ready to rise to any and anything life throws at him .
What an amazing and interesting life you have Hank! Riding your bike around your beautiful manor grounds, and inside the manor too lol! Your neighbours are the King of England and Princess Anne! Out for a ride before this video on a penny farthing! And a stop at your own cafe! Love it! Wishing you and Emma all the best! Congratulations on your wedding!
Congratulations! Love to see that you have space for rewilding! It might be a cool collaboration to have a naturalist come out to help with thinning out your invasives and planting some more native trees in your woods.
Married 46 years. Not always a bed of roses but we always say " who else would have us ! " Wishing you both all the very best for your marriage and also Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.
How freaky, I visited that church for the very first time last Thursday while they were preparing for the Christmas music night the following evening. What an incredible setting for a wedding! I just hope it's dry for you and the paving isn't like a skating rink. I'm thoroughly enjoying these videos and bravo for getting the bike out in this one. Here's wishing you both many happy returns.
OMG, watching this episode brought memories of riding a bike on a dirt path going through the pasture field and the feeling when all the bones and your jaw rattles when you go downhill! So much fun! Congratulations on your wedding!
So, how many times did your Grannie tell you, "No bicycles in the house!". LOL. This is the sort of tour that might have been conducted on horseback, but you are you, and don't shy away from the wet and muck. Good humor, and amazing neighbors. His Majesty can probably recommend someone great to help with your formal gardens when you are ready. A really interesting collection of historical locations, which will be fun to revisit in future videos. I'm sure Emma is happy you didn't wipe out the day before your wedding, with a black eye or such documented in the photos. Cheers, and congratulations!
Great video. When you hinted at being 'sandwiched between royalty'. 🤔 I thought. 'Oh, they've got Dan Lloyd and King Kelly living either side of them'.🤴👸🤪😉
As a horse person I was shocked and dismayed that you did not introduce us to the horses! Just kidding! Wishing you much happiness tomorrow and always on your wedding day! Emma is going to be a beautiful bride!
I do very much enjoy your videos. You are both so down to earth and it feels like we are right there with you, exploring those fields and that wonderful home you are creating together. I cannot wait to see your beautiful wedding photos :) 😊
Wishing you and Emma a Very Special day as you continue Together into Exciting New challenges and Adventures. ❤ to you both from Nashville Tennessee USA
I learnt to land aircraft at Chavenage in the day. I remember the strip being short and bounded by trees, making it challenging! My instructor said if you could land at Chavenage you can land anywhere!
Wishing you both all the best for your future life together

Ah, I've really waited for cycling content! What a great idea to have CX or gravelrides/-races at this amazing place, I would like to join (or just for (working) holidays). Emma and Hank, all the best for your future life and love together, congratulations! 🎉 Merry Christmas and a joyful and healthy New Year. 🎄
Really glad you're doing this Hank. Its fascinating and entertaining and I'm sure that growing your following will help secure the future of the estate.
Brilliant bike tour of the estate! How nice to come home to a great hot choc made by your love! Pretty snazzy neighbors!!!!! Have a lovely Christmas, a stunning wedding and a Happy New Year! Cheers!
I totally enjoyed watching this video thank you James it was fabulous. What fabulous and interesting history and I look forward to following yours and Emma’s Journey. Congratulations on your Wedding ❤❤❤
That was so much fun to watch. Here's to the two of you having an absolutely amazing wedding day. I hope you will share a little of it in upcoming videos 💙. Ready for the next instalment.
*Thanks for the awesome tour via pushbike... 🙂 Fancy living right smack in the middle between the Princess Royal Princess Anne and King Charles III homes 🙂nz*
Thank you for inviting us into your world, this is such a great video James. Thoroughly enjoyed it and I am looking forward to the next episode. Would love to bring my trail bike over to the Cotswolds next year!
Best wishes to your lovely bride and to you! Thanks for the excellent and entertaining videos. You guys are so fortunate to have such a fantastic family history and the dedication to keeping it going. Good luck.
Congratulations on your wedding. I do think that most of your buildings could be turned into holiday lets of differing sizes. The barn could be a large 6 or 7 bedroom house for family reunions or Christmas holidays, while smaller buildings would house smaller groups. Another choice would be to make it an event space on the ground floor and an apartment above.
When you said you were getting married tomorrow I was like "sheesh don't fall of your bike and break something, or crap don't fall into those brambles and get all scratched up." your bride wouldn't be too happy with you lol 😆😅 Crongratulations on your wedding, you make a great team. 😍
Great video. The historic barn could be rented out to one of the many antiques businesses in Tetbury as storage for stock if you make it wind and waterproof. That way it brings in some money until you decide what to do with it. If you refurbish it completely you can turn it into a bike holiday/training centre- accommodation for groups + everything a group of bikers would need. You could organise multiple day stays with biking challenges etc.
Watching these videos it is so cool to see your behind the scenes tour.. especially on the bike! It makes me wonder what all the other GCN folk do in their non presenting time, I don’t think I’ve noticed you talking about your manorial home there! So cool that you’re both enacting a new vision for such a historic place. That grain barn.. maybe you could make branded flour or convert it into another cafe/ bike repair and hire stop?!? Good luck with all the events.. and 9:46 if you’re both married by the time you see this CONGRATS you two lovely people 🎉
Ideas for your Barn.... convert into an Antique store or Farm to Table restsurant and sell the produce you grow ...not sure if it's still going since I havent been able to visit for a few years, but there used to be a place called "The Organic Farm Shop" in the Cotswolds. You might be able to get some tips from them😊 Otherwise, it would make a fabulous Air B & B😃
Cycling tours from the manor and around sounds like a good time.
It's nice to see youthful energy infused into an ancient estate. Congratulations on your wedding. Good luck creating income producing ideas, and thank you for taking us on your journey!
I'm a retired wedding celebrant. Use the big barn for weddings. People love barn weddings.
I am so glad you are keeping up your GCN presenting and bike challenges! Do it all, brother!
I don't know what else to say other than I think this channel rocks. I love cycling, I love English manor houses and history. Win, win, win...
For the non-GCN viewers, this gives a taste of James's riding style.
You are so charismatic and engaging to watch and learn from James. How lucky are we to get a weekly glimpse into your life. Thank you for sharing and your editing and filming is so beautifully put together. x
Cycling & Manor living, Best of both worlds! #GCN #LATM
Hank and Emma, we wish you many happy years together.
Ice was stored in winter…for summer…before we had refrigeration…..wow
Hank and Emma, all the best for tomorrow. ❤
Congratulations on getting married!! Someone gave me a bit of advice and I wanna pass it on to you, go to bed laughing as much as you can! 😊💕 wishing you guys nothing but love and happiness!!
Oh that's nice

Hope you had a lovely wedding day and here's wishing you and Emma many glorious years together!
Ah ha.., Life at the Manor combined with Hank on the bike… thumbs up.
Congratulations on your marriage! Love the new channel. Happy New Year to you both. I will be sure to visit the house when I come to the UK. I love the Cotswolds area.
Ah, the manor and the bike… it’s a pleasure to see the parts of your life together… congratulations on your marriage… thanks for sharing
I’m in the USA , enjoying the videos, wishing you two all the best
Hope you had the most beautiful wedding, and are going to have a long and happy life together ❤️❤️
I love the video James, I appreciate you bringing your other passions into this video, and being able to be the you we know from GCN.
Congrats to you and Emma.
What a great property, your blessed. And a cafe ...the best part ❤🎉
Sweep out the bunker.. could rent it b n b too 😂

Congrats on your marriage tomorrow! Looking forward to lots more videos from the estate!

Out for a ride before this video on a penny farthing! And a stop at your own cafe! Love it! Wishing you and Emma all the best! Congratulations on your wedding!
You should definitely host a Superprestige cross race on the grounds. Having MvdP and WvA bang around the mud would increase property value!
All the best folks!! A lot of love and prosperity for the new family that is born today!
Congratulations! Love to see that you have space for rewilding! It might be a cool collaboration to have a naturalist come out to help with thinning out your invasives and planting some more native trees in your woods.
Married 46 years. Not always a bed of roses but we always say " who else would have us ! " Wishing you both all the very best for your marriage and also Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.
🎉congratulations! Hope the wedding is wonderful and that you have a happy life together. ❤
Cycling and our great history ,,,,, my favourite things all together in one video 😊
I would definitely do an archaeological dig at the icehouse and the World War II bunker. And best wishes for your wedding. 💐💐
How freaky, I visited that church for the very first time last Thursday while they were preparing for the Christmas music night the following evening. What an incredible setting for a wedding!

Love the estate and how you share it. Keeping up a family home like this is one of the most beautiful things someone can do.
Such an interesting video! Thank you for the ground tour and best wishes for you both on your wedding tomorrow! 😃
Fantastic, energy filled, fun fueled episode ❤ Also... Sending best wishes for a very wonderful day tomorrow ❤❤❤
OMG, watching this episode brought memories of riding a bike on a dirt path going through the pasture field and the feeling when all the bones and your jaw rattles when you go downhill! So much fun!

Cycling + camping festival, fun cross races, grass track, a few road sportives use the cafe as a centre point. Some music and real ale too!
I hope everything goes to plan and you have good weather and a gr8 day. Good luck 👍💞
As a horse person I was shocked and dismayed that you did not introduce us to the horses! Just kidding! Wishing you much happiness tomorrow and always on your wedding day! Emma is going to be a beautiful bride!
Me too😢😂
I do very much enjoy your videos. You are both so down to earth and it feels like we are right there with you, exploring those fields and that wonderful home you are creating together. I cannot wait to see your beautiful wedding photos :) 😊
Congratulations on your wedding!! And that WW2 bunker may make another nice Air B&B...
Woolen trousers are able to shed water and stay warm when wet. I know they are out of fashion but they are practical in winter.
Mazel Tov!
Can hardly wait for clips of the wedding. Congratulations, and keep the videos coming!
I love learning about the history and vast land around the estate. You just need to post more often.
Great filming! I must pop into the cafe in the new year ☕🍰 Congratulations for tomorrow, have a great day 🍾
Wishing you and Emma a Very Special day as you continue Together into Exciting New challenges and Adventures. ❤ to you both from Nashville Tennessee USA

No riding bikes in the house !!!!
*Thanks for the awesome tour via pushbike... 🙂 Fancy living right smack in the middle between the Princess Royal Princess Anne and King Charles III homes 🙂nz*
Thank you for inviting us into your world, this is such a great video James. Thoroughly enjoyed it and I am looking forward to the next episode. Would love to bring my trail bike over to the Cotswolds next year!
I look forward to seeing Chavenage House become the Goodwood of Cyclocross.
Best wishes to your lovely bride and to you! Thanks for the excellent and entertaining videos. You guys are so fortunate to have such a fantastic family history and the dedication to keeping it going. Good luck.
Loving the bike and manor crossover
All the best for you and Emma on your big day! You have a wonderful life ahead.

An unfarmed field? Time Team crossover? Love the Cyclocross idea!! Congratulations on your nuptials!
James and Emma great see all the comments, must be delightfully positive for you channel, another great one!
When you said you were getting married tomorrow I was like "sheesh don't fall of your bike and break something, or crap don't fall into those brambles and get all scratched up." your bride wouldn't be too happy with you lol 😆😅 Crongratulations on your wedding, you make a great team. 😍
Many congratulations on your wedding! Have a lovely Christmas!
Ice bath - YES! DO IT!

Congratulations on your wedding. My son is getting married in that church next year; it’s a beautiful place (as is Chavenage).

Wishing both of out a fabulous wedding day!! 🍾👰💂
Congratulations on your wedding day! I hope everything goes smoothly and it’s everything you dreamed it would be.🎉
