Wouldn't mind getting some aerial video of some of these houses. I've just been shooting ones around Northamptonshire at the moment. Nice video. Very interesting.
this houses and today are incredibles. can you imagine in 16th 17th century what was then???? when all the materials the concrete the bricks the stone the wood the glass was handmade.
Great videos! Although I’m from the US, my ancestors on both sides were aristocrats from England who settled in Virginia in the colonial period. My mother’s ancestor Thomas Ligon was from the same family as the Giffards at Chlllington Hall. His great-great grandmother Anne Berkeley Dennis/Denys was the sister of Thomas, 5th Lord Berkeley, ancestor of Barbara Throckmorton who married into the Giffard family and you referenced in your video.
My friend that's nice to be saying. l too love the English houses my favourite English house is birdseal Hall in Malton North Yorkshire it's such a grand place to visit. and it's got so much history in fact one could write a book. YOUR'S TRULY ALEX'S KLOUS LIBBY County Tipperary lreland 🇮🇪 ☘
Pukka English gent! Lovely. So sad that the politics of envy destroyed so many of these houses as working estates and homes, and drove many owners to sell to the National Trust. My great-grandparents were respectively cook and gamekeeper on a large estate. They had a wonderful life, according to my grandmother, who spent her summers with them.
@@MsArishiaNishi "Equity?" like in the Soviet Union, Cuba, North Korea or China? I take your point, but let's not whitewash the fact that it was the post-war Labour government's mission to ruin anyone who owned land and one of these lovely houses. Lucky for Jeremy Corbyn, his family hung onto their lovely, large, countryhouse. Which he seems to have had no problem with inheriting.
Not quite. It's not the politics of envy that destroyed them, but the buffoons who own them can't afford to run them. They are then sold to the National Trust. May be consider where the wealth came from in the first place.
@@hunterluxton5976 History cannot be erased,,nor can some kind of utopia be created simply by destroying that which was, by our modern reckoning, ill-gotten. That is the way of the Maoists - back to "Year Zero" and erasing history. The "buffoons" who had custodianship over these estates and houses employed entire communities. The post-war Labour government set out deliberately to destroy rural Britain, eliminate the agrarian way of life, and create a state that ruled and ran everything. Using death duty and high income tax, they achieved this. The result is the mess that Britain is today.
I am amazed at the beautiful Churches and homes in England that the British seem to ignore. We would love to have just one of those beautiful places here.
I'm sorry to see the number of videos reduce! Hopefully they will be put back up - or perhaps replaced with new ones? It's really interesting to learn about these wonderful places.
Here in the States we call rooms like that Railroad cars.....or just Railroad. I have always been fascinated by the English Manor Homes and Castles as far back as I can remember. I would love to visit England one day and see some of these for myself.
woud have preferred having much more footage of inside features and appointmets, as opposed to outside ontent. overall, however, tere is a good bit of interesting material.
@@olivergerrish7680 you are so welcome. It's a real art to bring buildings and stories to life in an engaging and inclusive way. I hope you have more up your sleeve in the months to come. Telling and sharing stories is the stuff of dreams.
I love this not just for the homes but to “meet” the owner/ occupiers who seem very much to be just regular people which I hope they take as a compliment. And anyway… the only thing anyone can “own” with respect to real property is a temporary use right that remains valid only as long as one lives.
Chillingham Hall is such a lovely house! Walter Giffard, first cousin of William the Conqueror, is my 28th great grandpapa. Great to see the family still surviving and doing well.
Be more Darcy, less Bingley, especially in the intro. That would be a winner. Although, I love the content. The house is beautiful, the decor is sublime, and the family history is real a life timeline of current times. I love the whole estate.
I'll add to my last comment by saying congratulations on reaching a quarter of a million views, with just two videos. If you aren't able to make more, it would be lovely if you were able to put the old videos back on. I know they had some sound issues, but they were still very enjoyable.
now compare them to inner city living accommodation in the poor regions towns etc.........and never forget that the poor people built these buildings etc,,, the poor shaped every stone hauled every rock, stone etc. . now the poor people have to pay to even view or park . ..
Thank you for watching. We had but a short time to film before the next lockdown - but we will show more in the future, if you care to watch. Not everyone watching will have your knowledge of country houses - so the talk is sometimes useful too. Thank you for your feedback.
Would be nice if FOR ONCE one of these programs would spend the time actually showing the house, walking from room to room, instead of blah, blah, blah, Lucy Worsley, blah, blah, blah. I suppose that is too much to ask for since there are formulas to follow.
Give me a break!we see no homes,this guy loves the camera on him,what is going on here,is this a joke,who wants to look at him talking most of the time!and he wants us to subscribe to what!at him talking!
Do you know them? i think not - they are great fun and so much of our shared history can be gleaned from these amazing old houses and their kind owners.
Thank you and you are correct; I did NOT know that one didn't necessarily require a title to be considered aristocracy. I knew about wealthy commoners (Bess of Hardwick?) but that people like that were not allowed to have certain privileges.
I have a huge collection of English Country House books, just love these beautiful homes. This is the perfect series for me.
Hello beautiful ❤️
Looking forward to learning more from these splendid English Country Houses, so glad that these homes have been recognized as architectural wonders.
Wouldn't mind getting some aerial video of some of these houses. I've just been shooting ones around Northamptonshire at the moment. Nice video. Very interesting.
Thank you so much for creating this series! I very much look forward to watching more.
Maravilhosa !!!!

Obviously you haven't been to Italy.

Hello beautiful ❤️
Terrific! So informative and entertaining! Vignettes of family history, plus some architectural history - wonderful!
Gorgeous houses but I feel like a power washing company should do well in the UK.
@Biba Ibrahim That is too bad. There are some that don’t beat a house to death.
How fun to be on lock down in a castle ..

Serious question - How in God's Name did the builders manage to Span such distances in the ceiling!!!???
Very good question. At Wentworth Woodhouse I imagine that huge span is supported from above as well.
You’re a wonderful presenter. Much more educational and enriching then many other tours I’ve seen. Where are the full videos of these tours?
Thank you so much for a lovely comment

I would have liked to have seen more of the inside rooms please!
Lovely clip, very informative. Some categories and names given to the spaces are new to me.
Thank you.
Nice job. Thanks

Hello Richard Macintyre
@@marcuswealth4534 Hi and how you doing ?
Lots of creeps types in those days, what, what.
Be more Darcy, less Bingley, especially in the intro. That would be a winner. Although, I love the content. The house is beautiful, the decor is sublime, and the family history is real a life timeline of current times. I love the whole estate.
He's not trying to play a role, he's just being himself
My ancestors supported Robert the bruce. Sir Michael Weems broke his agreement with King Edward haha
Thenk You ! Wonderful băuse !

Loved it, keep em’ coming!!!
Thank you
I enjoyed that. Very interesting
💚💚💜💜👑👑
Wish you had done more videos.
Congratulations on passing 100,000 views!
Many thanks! So glad people have enjoyed watching it.
I think they should paint the columns outside Chillington Hall to make it look nicer....as the saying goes first impression's count.
Reminds me of the video Thinking out loud ...so romantic these castles and mansions..
One year later and still only the two videosI I rather like the informal chat approach and hope you see your way to creating more.

Thank you so much. We will be doing more in the new year - two fascinating Yorkshire houses.
@@olivergerrish7680 That's great news. Thanks for letting me know.
Hi Oliver - Will you still be making videos on the Yorkshire houses?
Brilliant!
So lovely
Hi Oliver, thanks for your video 📹 upload, it would be great if you could talk about asylums in the UK and share your knowledge with us all 🎉
For big corporation such a marvelous place
now compare them to inner city living accommodation in the poor regions towns etc.........and never forget that the poor people built these buildings etc,,, the poor shaped every stone hauled every rock, stone etc. . now the poor people have to pay to even view or park . ..
Interesting presentations, but, your audio quality needs improvement.
Gerrish Has a wonderful accent and speaking voice.
Fascinating historical gems come through. Just wish a few more subtitles, or rather the interviewees' names could remain on screen a little longer.
Obscene wealth. Nobody needs a house like that.
You should talk less and show more, which is what it's all about isn't it?
Thank you for watching. We had but a short time to film before the next lockdown - but we will show more in the future, if you care to watch. Not everyone watching will have your knowledge of country houses - so the talk is sometimes useful too. Thank you for your feedback.
Extremely smart Americans! Doubt it! Ashamed to say I’m an American living in the People’s Republic of California.

Excellent production
Red pants, seriously!
What happened to your channel? Why did it stop?
I need to do more - sorry, will get back to it!
Yay

Was that a compliment of a criticism - happy with either. Thank you
@@olivergerrish7680 STFU and show the house next time. Hope that's more clear for you.
@@samuelkinison1356 Please do not watch them in the future.
@@olivergerrish7680 Granted.
Why dont you present a program that we can all watch and critique then. Put your money where your mouth is or STFU!!
...
Excellent. Love it. Maybe a 1 hour show per house!!
Give me a break!we see no homes,this guy loves the camera on him,what is going on here,is this a joke,who wants to look at him talking most of the time!and he wants us to subscribe to what!at him talking!
Yawn. Boringly uninteresting droll occupants . 🥁🔦
