So everyone wondering what this looks like in the end...the school is a school with their living area above just as was planned. The headmaster home is a bed and breakfast run by the family, but the whole thing is actually running a net zero in carbon efficiency, making it the most sustainable building in Wales. It is a place that is teaching the methods used to recreate and repair existing buildings and improving on them meaning the couple did exactly what they wanted, created jobs in the local community, and built a place that will be a guide to future generations, exactly as the building has been doing for over a century.
Thank you for the update!
Thank you for the update! i needed some hope rn
I am so glad to hear this. They had so much hope and their work was so beautiful and their goals so moving. I am so glad for them and their community.
Beautiful project, beautiful people. I wish them all kinds of success. It is a shame the government was not more supportive and made what little support they did give them so difficult.
Thank you so much for the update. That is amazing to hear after all we watched them go through. So blessed, what a beautiful dream come true.
This was beautiful for me to watch. You see I went to this school from 1965 to 1972. My three brothers and sister went there too. It was the fulcrum of the village with a well respected headmaster and teachers. Even now I still remember being in class looking out of the windows at the old motte, running round the school yard playing, singing in assembly and so many other beautiful childhood memories. Seeing the love and dedication put into this restoration gave me an inner glow. I’m so pleased that a lovely couple is living there making their own happy memories ❤️...
In
Old memories r treasures of our lives
Your story adds to the history of this place too! How interesting!!
That is beautiful.
Their Bed and Breakfast is available for booking in 2021. What an amazing couple, couldn't be happier for them.
This is my favorite episode. The couples/owners values on restoring using green technology, giving back to the community, & training several individuals a vocation. Those individuals will be able to provide for themselves & their families.
It is admirable that far-sighted people like this couple, when hit by economic crisis, react by re-orienting their business towards green and sustainable technology. Learning from crisis to build back better, that's an example all should follow.
Build back better? You must believe every piece of propaganda out there.
Of all the Restoration episodes I have watched, this one impressed me the most by far. The stone/brickwork was fabulous, the couple's positive attitude and perserverence throughout was amazing. This man's level of craftmanship was awesome, and he's passing that to the next generation. I'd love to see the finished product, including the Headmaster's House they bought in the end, sometime in the near future.
The information I found online includes reviews of the 5 bedroom B&B facilities Jayne and Ian are now operating, perhaps in the old headmaster’s house. Reviews are mainly positive with comments praising the couple for going to great lengths to please their guests, including a local chef overseeing the cooked breakfasts. They also mention a licensed bar/restaurant.
This episode was one of the most enjoyable and interesting I have seen with George Clarke hosting. I agree with your comments regarding the quality of the building and stonework. I’m so pleased for this couple.
Sharon G thanks for sharing! 😃
I would love to go stay there some day!
Ian is a perfectionist and it shows in the workmanship. It's amazing. A work of art all of it. Well done to them and the apprentices are learning from the best.
It's difficult to describe how very much I admire the creativity, adherence to their vision, stubbornness in their refusal to give up when others would have called it quits. They accomplished something wonderful for themselves and for the community -- a wonderful place that would have been lost forever without their dedication and the courage to stick to the task. Kudos to this couple! They are a testament to the human spirit.
The old windows, made new are amazing !👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️
My favorite thing in this whole world is just watching George walk around the house grabbing giant bits of it and being like, “Nuhthin’ is holdin’ it tuhgethuh.”
I love every episode of this show, which I only discovered recently. George Clarke brings so much heart and charisma to it. This particular episode touched me so deeply, I was on the edge of my seat so to speak, praying and rooting for these marvellous builders that they could fullfill their dream. Am very grateful to Rune-Thorne who posted below several updates on the couple, Jayne and Ian, and it warms my heart to know of their sucesses!
Wow the skill and attention to detail is breathtaking. This couple is very inspiring.
Just no words.. I m from India.. just passionate about George’s amazing work
You need to do follow ups on all these when they are actually complete!
The stone work is gorgeous along with the brick details. Amazing. Their restored buildings are out of a story book. I have never seen anything quite like it and they are a lovely couple. I hope the show generated some business for them because his work is unreal. The little town is idyllic as well. Of all the episodes, this was the most touching due to how genuine these people are. It is obvious George has great respect for them.
That man is a pure genius I wish and all the best from Ireland
This building is sooooo lucky it found this couple. The care, commitment and attention to detail is jaw droppingly something else. I was so glad to discover that they eventually purchased the headmasters house and at a bargain price. They were soooooooo meant to have that house. Great craftsmanship and dedication to see the work through, much kudos to all involved. This particular episodeis by far the best of the best.
This moved me to tears I'll admit! Most restorations are done with the goal of creating a "dream house" or accomplishing a personal ambition, but they're thinking about the community and the actual spirit of the school. As a teacher I fully feel the importance and the meaningfulness of their plan and I have a huge appreciation for these people
There are some really brilliant artisans in UK. The details are BEAUTIFUL.
the mix of stone and yellow brick looks amazing.I want that chimney!!
Isn't it funny how you can get invested in people you don't know, I'm only watching this today and I'm thinking how about a go fund me page or something!! I'm in awe of what they have achieved! Two remarkable people with single minded vision. can do, will do, have done. I'm proud of them and I don't know them. Fantastic!
Why the music, it is not needed. It spoils the whole wonderful show.
This was truly an exciting build and rebuild with more passion than most could muster. Congratulations! Follow-up with one for 2020!
I am blown away by their determination, strong will and drive for perfection...they will go far...much luck to them...!
I would LOVE to see the totally finished project. It was absolutely the Most Incredible Project!!! Beautifully Done.
awesome video and love the brickwork it's amazing!
What a beautiful building. They are doing a wonderful service to the history of the town and the school.
Love that George gets in there and works right along side the home owner. The reunion was wonderful, what a lovely day. Watching the dog was fun, thanks for filming the pup. What a wonderful way to give back.
Your music is sometimes too loud to hear the voices. Tone down or eliminate the music!
Indeed
Compared to previous videos in this series, this episode was so much better, and true, it still wasn’t perfect, but I could at least understand the host throughout.
Agree with John the music is too loud
All the episodes are breathtaking All the best to the whole team and the beautiful people who so deligently restore the magnificent buildings
Very wonderful to see history restored! Thanks for presenting this!
Beautiful and humble couple. So happy for them!
Sorry Sir, but your narration cannot be heard through the music, Can you adjust?
We said the same exact thing! It is the case on many of the videos. My Husband could not stand the loud music so we had to turn it off.
This might be a moot suggestion as not all videos have Closed Captioning, but have you considered turning off the audio completely and reading the CC? I’ve noticed many complaints about the music being too loud on several different programs recently. CC isn’t perfect, I do realize that, but it’s a possibility.
The problem is on how TH-cam converts audio... this is automated... If is converted en compressed.
Wow, wonderful work. Great project with a purpose!!
Well done I love this program..thank you for sharing I had learned a lot in the past two pandemic days watching all day long
I have nothing but admiration for this courageous couple. But between you and me, are they what great people always been courageous .
Its now a B&B and also this couple were on the Channel 4 program, Four In A Bed, which their B&B won..!
I love seeing the restorations. It’s very well done and I hope they enjoy many happy years there.
The only problem trying to watch this is, the music is so loud in the background that I can’t hear the narration most of the time.
Wow, what a vision!
Excellent! What dedication and passion. I hope that they finish it - the quality of work is superb.
Jayne and Ian should have their own statue in that village...
Perhaps a honorary topiary would be more suitable for Jayne and Ian.
This was/is the most impresive shows of all I have seen, well done by the couple and their team. Hope and prayer for the finish they wish for ❣
lol you can see the dude working on the concrete for the entrance path on google street view
Another fabulous episode of architectural restoration with hands on owner involvement. A brief mention of the adjacent motte and bailey would have been an interesting adjunct.
What amazing craftsmanship!!
You should be so proud of yourselves.This episode was a joy to watch. Best of luck to you both, you certainly have earned it.
👏👏👏👏👏❤️
Your planning permission needs a big shake up! Won’t do anything to save these buildings but hinder and hold up these amazing Brits that put so much money and sweat into keep these iconic structures existing.
I'm touched by this wonderful people.
Such inspiring example. I wish I could be like that.
Beautiful restoration
WHY, WHY, WHY would ANYONE buy a piece of a building? Maybe in a city, where all buildings are connected, but not here. This is ABSOLUTELY INSANE. But wait... YAY, THEY BOUGHT THE HOUSE TOO, BRILLIANT !!!
Wonderful episode.... and a great, positive husband !
This whole series is best because of George how caring ,humble and down to earth guy he is ...one more thing hardworking not like today's host of this series...May Allah bless you more George Clarke
….well done-beyond inspiring
Fabulous!!!!
Congratulations, well done!
This whole project is testament to the fact that a little PTSD can be of benefit in life ...
Perseverance Tenacity Strength Determination ...
The levels of craftsmanship here leave many UK builders in the shade 👍👍👍
Would love to see George go back to some of these places that are now complete.
Fantastic show! What impress me about this show is they give life to a death place. Cong to all envolved people...🤝🍾🥂
I love the idea of taking down all the stone n re building it the same way with repurpose the old stone. I'd feel alot more comfortable doing it that way compared to just building in top of it.
Very impressed by the build well done to the team
Wow... just beautiful🦋😊
So enjoy the shows.
Sad that the hearts of the people didn't give way to help out in more ways, And the grants should have been there for them because of the man hours tendered. Beautiful, dedicated and quality craftsmanship. Great job both of you.
I luv Ian's Madness.....look what I did in my spare time....brilliant!
I hope there's a up date on the finish 🕊🤗👍😁
Sweet. Home Sweet Home. Brilliant. 💥💗💥
Awesome
I love the content; history and the new owners' love for restoration and how they manage to achieve their dreams. However, it is to bad that the background music render the subject matter extremely hard to hear. When the music stops, we who are "older" can again hear the speakers and enjoy the story. This is a case of less being better when it comes to hearing your program.
Well done to you all
I'm reminded of the Tom Petty song ~ I won't BACK DOWN 🎼🎵🎶🎵🎙🎚🔊 I salute this couple 💯
The brick work and general craft mastery was inspiring. Working and learning under such a boss would be worth a Harvard education fee in my book, I'd pay to work without a doubt.
is there a link to the BB Ian and Jayne is running. Really would love to see how it looks now...this is incredibly sweet episode
Extremely ambitious.
The building and the external walls are to die for🇲🇾👍
Please, please do a follow-up on this story.
What cracking people and job they did!!! Would actually like to stay there in their B&B and see them and the place for real! 😍
That long "pre fab" building is a HORSA hut, my local infant school in Norwich had one, I think it's older then 1960s
I feel Gorge is a secret magical charm!"
🕊🧚♂️When he has his
hands In a build,
Those that need a bit of a miracle
It seems to appear with Gorge smiling down!🤗💪😁
Its lovely really
People like this are my heroes
I only just started watching this... because this is YT I am soooooo tempted to skip ahead to the ending to see what has/hasn't been completed. I find it incredible that the school building was sold to them incomplete, that the headmaster's residence was a separate property, preserved as a home by someone else? Living connected to a total ruin??
EDIT: the rest of the building came up for sale (cheap) so they bought it.
Ithis is my favorite restoration!!! I believe to truly restore a building you have to live it and breath it, through all its ups and downs and in the end it becomes a part of you. Then the building is truly alive and others will feel that.
Why didn't they use that reunion as a fundraising opportunity? Even small donations from the community that clearly loved the school would have made a huge difference. I know it's partially going to be a private residence but it's also still a historical renovation with community services planned as well. Seems like they could've brought the community in on it a little bit, but idk anything about Welsh law around fundraisers.
the headmaster house was eventually turned into a B&B and it to ended up on this tv channel about B&B's and won.
How can I find out the name of the show that this Victorian school was on and won as a B&B ?
Debi MacInnis
I don’t know about the show but you can see photos on TripAdvisor. Look up Pencader Schoolhouse B&B. ; )
Autumn Reverie tune from All Creatures Great and Small is in there a couple of times from 44:25 for some reason.
do they have a website please add it
Love victorian era
I hope you go back to see it when it’s all done 😁. Amazing workmanship!
Easington co. Durham has a beautiful school... Restore it someone please!!! G uk
Your editing of these videos is aweful. You have the music so loud, you cannot hear the host talking!
Well I can.
As someone who was lucky enough to attend a three classroom school in an 1800’s building it very amusing to see these schools preserved as historical sites lol
Please...whoever mixes the original broadcast has the music so loud that it's difficult to hear the narration!!!
Hen Ysgol in Pencader. for finished pictures
Again: nice foreground music. Unfortunately there is some background somment.... not hearable...
The music is too loud to understand the speech.
pretty sure this has to do with the uploader
I can understand it perfectly.
Is there a part two where we can see the complete school?
Love your programmes but the music/sound mix is terrible! It is virtually impossible to hear what is being said when the music is playing!
The music is too loud and makes it difficult to hear what you are saying. Otherwise, interesting video.
Music is too loud..
Sometimes difficult to hear
Can't hear the dialogue when the music comes on!
I wish the background music was a bit quieter. It’s hard to hear the narrator
“Blah blah suicide” @12:12 😂
BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT
I cannot believe how much he looks like my husbands family who are from Wales. He could easily be a brother (although I know he's not.) My father in laws parents came from Wales and were Thomas'. My mother in law was a Thompson. I'm not sure when her family came over, also from Wales. I kept staring and seeing my husband, his brother or our son. Twas weird.
