My Grandmother worked there from the age of 14, back in 1920's. That's where she met my Grandfather, who also worked there
WOW!!!! Very lovely, thanks for commenting
Julie, you'll jump in to a slimy 17th century bath with no problem but you're hesitant to walk in the rain with an umbrella 😂 love your work! Amazing video!
Thank you Rebecca! We're the team that filmed and edited this series of American Viscountess, and we now have our own TH-cam channel too! We'd be delighted if you could join us there...
Loved that the host, had so many amazing stories about how the gardens were designed. Also, what a lovely & peaceful place - could see myself sitting down & reading a book somewhere in the gardens! Again, thanks Julie for the tour.
Thank you very much! Please do spread the word about our channel. :-)
This tour was beyond outstanding! The enthusiasm and knowledge pouring out of William at lightning speed was so entertaining to watch. Would love to see more 😍

We have "Day Lillies" 🌺 in our garden. They usually flower from July to Mid August. They are called "Day Lillies" 🌺 because they Flower for ONE DAY only . If you look closely you can see the "New Bud" at dusk , will flower the Next Day. We have had them flower over the past week!!! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
I never knew that, thank you for sharing it with us
I could listen to the owner of Iford forever. He has such a passion for the garden and describes things so well, he transports you back in time to each country and you can just imagine it all.
I LOVE these programs - can’t tell you how much pleasure they give. It’s escaping into a beautiful world - something we desperately need these days. Thank you so much for making them !!

What a charming tour guide and his excitement of showcasing his father’s work was delightful. I’ve always thought the British rather stuffy, but your series have shown how wrong my impressions were. Thank you.
Lovely. Every aspect. The water sounds. The music. So well done.
Reminiscent of Untemeyer Park in Yonkers, New York.
A welcome respite from our current reality.
One day, all will be restored.🦌🌱🦋🌿🏞️🐰🦝🐇⛲🎁

Oh I was so overjoyed watching the "rainy scene". This Iford Manor tour was a blast! @8:20
You can see William’s excitement when he conducts the garden tour🥰
What a dreamy, dreamy place. Julie, thank you for sharing this piece of heaven. I loved the rain, the water features and William’s explanation of the design elements. Ok, and the cats. I am blissed out.
Thank you for watching!!!

Troy clearly loves his job and it shows in his work. Spectacular. Love walking in a garden in the rain because the garden is always so "happy" in a shower.
The terrace is magic and gorgeous. Thank you for taking us on this lovely tour. 🌹🌹🌹
Of course you know he has left since making this film.

Commented on Part 1 of the visit to Iford Manor how I now understand why this series is being done. However, on Part 2, William's enthusiasm, energy, and information is wicked (a New England word used to emphasize) wonderful. Thank you so much.

I've never heard of this garden or house before, but after watching this beautiful documentary, I HAVE to see this place.
It's now on my bucket list, at the top!
Can’t wait for the new episode! Sundays just got a lot more interesting! 😁

Magnificent!!
I love how passionate William is about his garden!
Thank you so much what a beautiful history of the garden’s
Thank you very much! Please do spread the word about our channel. :-)
There is a hollowed out marble capital with water in it. It's probably late 5th - 6th century Byzantine. The style is called wind-blown acanthus. It probably is Proconnesian marble from an island in the Sea of Marmora.
WOW 👏The gardens are just amazing! However Julie, I was a bit disappointed 😞. I'd hoped you would tour us through in that glorious rain. How peaceful and calming it must be. Lol, I know that wasn't ideal circumstances for filming 😅. But would be great to have that kind of opportunity in person.
All I can say is WOW!!! Amazing! Beautiful ❤️! Peaceful! Thank you for sharing this wonderful video!!!!! Stunning!
Thank you so much for taking us on a tour of Harold Peto's design. It is breathtaking to look at and I'm grateful to know where the influences came from and when.
This was fascinating! The beauty is so much better with the enthusiasm and knowledge of your wonderful guide. Excellent job everyone!!!!

@@StephenandClaire Thank you for letting me know. I'm so excited to check out your channel. Can't wait to see what kind of adventures you are getting into!
@@kemt411 thank you Kimmie! We hope you enjoy our content too
He is SUCH an amazing tour guide! He's and amazing story teller. You get sucked in and came get enough, you want to hear more and more. Wish he and his wife had a TH-camr channel as well. Such an amazing video. Thanks!
What a wonderful guide. His knowledge as well as his presentation were spellbinding! I am not a garden fan, but he could change my mind.
What a facinating personality Mr. William Cartwright-Hignett is . I love the way he speaks , the presentation he makes so interesting ! What makes this place so beautiful is as he said " It's all a bit of a fudge , that's the key " ! I love it !
What an incredible garden, the artistic vision, committment and passion to this green world at Iford- I must see this one day.
Absolutely fascinating I could sit and listen for hours.
Thank you very much! Please do spread the word about our channel. :-)
Brilliant! Thank you! Illnacullin or rather Garinish Island here in the village where I live also has a „Mount Fuji“. Peto built the arch of the „Medici House“ in a way that it frames the beautiful almost triangular Sugarloaf Mountain in the distance. One of the most amazing features of this once beautifully kept island (just 2-3 km from my home).
So very very beautiful. Loved the concept of gardens from different continents all melding together so cleverly.
Thank you so much!
The romance of this garden is palpable, like stepping into a beautiful dream. William's enthusiasm and appreciation for it is inspiring, and Julie--you are really wonderful in your role of host of this series. I appreciate your genuineness and ease in front of the camera. I delight in seeing a fellow American occupy your role in the aristocracy with such naturalness and aplomb.
Great content and great Vette!!
I've been lucky enough to drive around England and Wales quite a bit.
If you do then you will see lots of old and new British and Italian sports cars.
I don't recall ever seeing any Corvettes especially a powder blue model this old.
I guarantee the Viscountess gets some attention driving around in that beautiful American car!!

I’ve eaten day lilies-great for crunchy snack-but they are amazing in salads.
I have visited Iford. The gardens are hands down, the MOST beautiful I have ever seen. It is an amazing, tranquil place. I must go back soon....

Oh my goodness, I have those same Lilies, making a note of that. If you haven't eaten Borage, that will blow your mind, I grew that last summer but never ate it til this. That Japanese garden proves, green on green on green on green makes a gorgeous garden. Thanks to all for sharing the garden, and all the info, just wonderful.!
Thanks for the tip, and your kind words about the video!

Julie, I LOVE this TH-cam channel! I learn so much about British history and culture. You have such wonderful energy and excitement to your postings! You are providing such a thoughtful legacy to your family!
Suzy from America P.S. By the way, on the British Baking Show they pick some special flowers that look like pansies to help decorate the tops of birthday cakes. So there are a lot of edible flowers. But be careful to ask experts. Also, GOOD FOR YOU not to walk out in that rainstorm. I heard thunder and you cannot be too careful to avoid lightning! Good for you!

Just look for some good books on edible wild plants, at the start of the pandemic I discovered foraging for edible wild greens, nothing like it!
