I meet Lady Ashcombe who, after the sudden and unexpected death of her husband, became a young American matriarch of an ancient British monument. She knows the castle inside out, and its history begins in 1066, when the first residence was recorded. Over the centuries, Sudeley Castle has seen constructions, additions, demolitions and restorations. Today, Sudeley wears its scars gracefully, with beautiful exposed ruins a distinctive feature of the overall building.
Lady Ashcombe has made her own mark on the history of this remarkable house, by focusing on interior refurbishments. When she took on management of the estate, she was determined to preserve it and get it right. Looking around, it's obvious that she is a master of balancing the needs for modern comfortable accommodation with the reverence a building like this demands.

Its been awhile here is one of the episodes. They all or most should be on their channel tho.
Lady Ascombe did a brilliant job with the primitive stone walls. Thank you Julie, for showing us this beautiful piece of History
We went and visited Sudeley Castle when I lived in the UK. The gardens are absolutely spectacular.
Hoping to see more.
Please sir (s) I want more.
Oh my goodness! A real Victorian Castle! I could look at every spot, in every room. It really is on my bucket list. I’m in Tennessee.
Gosh I wish there were more about the home, the work, the history. Thanks for the tease.
Watch full one hour episodes on Sunday evening on Smithsonian channel on TV. In Los Angeles, it comes on at 6 pm. Fabulous show!
After watching an hour and a half about Hinchingbrooke, I was shocked by a few minutes here. But still well done. Just want more.
I believe Lady Elizabeth Ashcombe is from Kentucky.
Same. That was short and sweet.

Hi Julie,
What a truly fascinating woman Lady Ashcombe is !
Do you think you'll ever develop a hybrid English/American accent as her's?
You've already a slightly English way of speaking & interacting w others.
Keep up all the great work Julie,
You're Amazing!
She is stunningly beautiful.
Simply amazing & gorgeous. It is now on my bucket list😍👍 I can't wait!
In 1554, Queen Mary I gifted Sudeley Castle to John Brydges, the 1st Duke of Chandos. It passed on to his ancestors (my family) for many hundreds of years. :)
Wow Julie! I’m so glad I found your site. I watched about six episodes and I LOVE it. Thanks very much!!
"Did you ever feel nervous about running the castle? I mean, they filmed Rebecca at Mapperton, so . . . "
You definitely got it right love. Better than some english people would have. Well done. The stone walls look great, but I hope you kept the victorian panelling to use on or for something else. It's part of the history. Would love to vist there and Mapperton House. Love from Galicia x
The Wodehouse in me can not be restrained, sometimes. Two American women at Pseudly Castle.
Julie thank you. What an amazing home Sudeley Castle is.
Lady Ashcombe is stunning.❤

*young*??
Beautiful place that I had the fortune to visit.
Great video I enjoyed it 👍😀
Great work!
Marvelous taste
Wow!
👍👍👍👍👍
WHY is the American Aristocrat uploading 5 minute videos? How does one see the entire video? This is very disturbing!!!!!!!!
Look at other youtube videos. They're running out of money. Her and her husband may have done some restoration when they moved in decades go and thats what she is showing here... one room.
In other videos the Castle roof is damaged in several areas from water.
The family has no choice but to open the Castle to public events and tours to keep this money pit from going into total ruin. It needs to be ran as a business to survive.
American accent is like an anvil - Liz has nary a skerrick of it left.
She is English and most certainly English now. I doubt it is in any way affected.
