Had the pleasure of a short but unforgettable waltz around earlier today from Lisa Kopper the artist in residence very informative and a delight well worth the visit
My father was part of the restoration work of the house. I remember him having a blazing row with my brothers, as they wanted to add their names to the carved names of the Canadian soldiers who were stationed there during one of the wars (I can't remember 1 or 2) in one of the smaller stairwells. My brothers lost that argument, thank you very much!!! :)
Fabulous potted history of Acton Court. Lots of important and interesting facts delivered in a highly enthusiastic and accessible style. Looking forward to the next one!
Hi, Thanks for sharing the story of Acton Court. I live in Virginia, USA. Sir Nicholas Poyntz was my 14th Great-Grandfather on my mom's side of the family.. I got to visit Acton Court twice, but only once got to go inside. I was on a tour group in 2014. I had a few days in London on my own so one morning I took a train to Bristol where I hired a taxi to take me to Iron Acton. I made arrangements to pick me up later that day. It was a glorious visit. I really like your videos/talks. By the way, Richard Rich (nasty man) was my 14th Great-Grandfather, too (father's side). Patsy Lee Wood Lovell
Thank you so much. I live in the state of Nevada. My maternal grandparents were from Yorkshire and came to Canada in the mid 1920's. I am fascinated with British history, culture, architecture. I subscribe to English Home magazine. I especially love seeing amazing Tudor homes.
@@TheTudorTravelGuide I have their marriage certificate, and they were married in Pontefract 18th, October 1922. I have a signed document from King George VI dated 5th July 1926 giving "Colours" to The King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry. My grandfather was a bugler. I feel so grateful to have these documents. They are a link to the past. Thank you for your response. I look forward to seeing your videos.
I came across this little gem back in 2018 when I first visited Newark park in wotton-under-edge which if my memory serves me right was originally Nicholas poyntz hunting lodge. You can visit his bedroom where his ghost is suppose to have been seen and they also have a photograph to back up this story
There's nothing more relaxing and enjoyable than watching such beautiful video😊 just lovely, I enjoyed it very much, Thank you for sharing your video😘👍.Greetings from Texas USA😍🇺🇸🙋
I would really like to a see a floor plan of buildings like this. You mentioned that the hierarchy of public to private rooms is a remarkable thing about this property, only a plan or virtual tour would show this.
Hi Sarah, It looks like a fantastic place to let our imagination run away, And feel what it was really like in the a grand Tudor period. I’ve read that they found pottery that they believe was used for Henry & Anne’s visit when they excavated the grounds where the lost ranges used to be! Now wouldn’t that be amazing to see. Another great vid and I look forward to the next Tudor adventure.
I loved the video as well as the music ( Tudor music was it ?) I was hoping to get some more glimpses of the inside of Acton House specially the rooms where Henry and Anne had stayed and dined and danced . However, thanks for showing us the bedroom where the Queen stayed as well as the lavatory used by the King. More such informative videos ? I hope soon.
Didn’t they use that in the tv series Wolf Hall when Thomas Cromwell went to visit Thomas More. Or another scene. I could swear they did. It looks very familiar.
as a young man in the early 70,s i had to visit acton court for my boss, they wanted to let a room, it looked like they needed the money ! needless to say it was very shabby and dilapadated, scaffolding was holding up the tower . not suitable for a let even in the 70,s. but very interesting,
The history is interesting ofcourse, but i am much more interested in an actual tour of the house, and there doesn't seem to be one. Millions of people like me will never be able to get there personally, but most ancient places at least have a video of it so we can see the place - would be nice ! If you want to talk, we can hear you & still see the rooms - we don't need to see the talker for a whole video !

Terrific, hope to one day visit this lovely manor house!
I wish this place was open more often. It looks amazing! Thanks for the video :D

what is the name of the1st place in the clip?
I think you are talking about the place in the intro? Sudeley Castle.

I'm a Tudor
You are so pretty..
;)
I'm sorry, but the presenter is over-acting. Exaggerating every word and movement doesn't make for a good video. I'm out.
Agree
Shame so little of the house shown.
I wonder who paid for these visits, the King or the host? And therefore a privilege or a financial nightmare!
The host! Yikes!
