Nestor with his grandmother is too sweet. And I never knew a dovecote was actually for doves. I thought it was just an architectural term. Thanks for saving me the research Mapperton! 😉
I dont mind the lovely banter. I know those who have shown their disappointment and lectured Julie to treat her husband more kindly could and should just scroll past. One isnt required to watch OR even comment. I thoroughly enjoyed this segment and loved the hidden areas. 😊
I love how she's embraced her life across the pond and what's she's married into ... I also love that his parents have passed the torch so to speak and how these videos and channels are aiding in keeping the beauty and the overall appeal of the estate and it's grounds alive ... being here in the states we don't have this kind of history and tbh I'm truly envious of her but so happy for her at the same time, these two are such a wonderful couple together and not only are they but their children are all so very grounded ... speaks volumes on their characters. ❤
Julie you have to restore the adorable summer house ! It’s so special and overlooks the pool that you love. ❤ you always make your projects so special.
I had to laugh at Julie going through that bit of undergrowth on the way to the ancient fort. Like she was crossing the Darien Gap barefoot and blindfolded.
Marauder is an American word too, but kind of old fashioned. I have a feeling I learned it in the Nancy Drew books :) I am loving this content. If it is a rerun that's fine w me, as you can't have too much of a good thing, which is anything Mapperton. I adore Luke and Julie's banter, as it comes from a loving place.
I'm guessing you're American to assume that the word must be American? Per Google: The word marauder comes from the Middle French word maraud, which means "rascal". It entered the English language in the 17th century. The earliest known use of the noun marauder was in 1698 by Robert Ferguson, a pamphleteer and conspirator. The earliest known use of the noun maraud was in 1804 in the Sydney Gazette. The verb maraud was recorded as early as the late 1600s.
The farmhouse is a gem! Keep it simple! Natural old wood floors! Simplicity and quality! Open space for children to run! Hide away and be together atmosphere! Bingo!👏👍🥰
I truly enjoyed every bit of this episode! Nestor with his grandmother was just absolutely precious. Julie and Luke, you two with your teasing and banter make me laugh so much! You’re just so enjoyable all around.
Yes! Please! Part 6,7,8 too!!! I just love these properties, I’m absolutely fascinated at the history of families being anywhere for over 200 years, I’m an Australian, we just don’t have any buildings with the history here!!! I would be so happy if someone allowed me to walk around their ancestral home and just take it all in, my dream come true! I will get to England one day, and I know I’ll want to stay! I’m happy to live as a hermit in the garden grotto! It’s all I need! 😂❤❤
I can’t believe you have lived there for 20 years and not explored the house and the grounds. Every thunder storm I would grab my flashlight and would be gone. Lol
Steven and Claire( who are long gone) !? ... Nestor as his very younger self !? .... Julie has already swam in this Elisabethan bath !? ... interesting. It's a 'do we have a theme within our old footage'... apperentaly they had. Nice though, going all over the place ... in space and time.
❤❤The Summer house wouldbe lovely cleaned out, heated and a space for you Julie to read, draw, do needlework... to paint... perhaps having a resident artist to do paintings of the gardens and for sale in your shop x and necklaces with that key would be lovely to buy❤
As two warm bodies breathing hot air ascended the spiral stairs they prompted the air to rise quickly which caused the door to close at the bottom... sort of like priming the flue when starting a fireplace fire.
Thanks Julie and Luke for a fascinating video.. I love exploring hidden places. I don't know whether it was William or Nestor with the Countess of Sandwich, but what a well mannered and well spoken young man . He is a credit to you !
That was Nestor. Last weekend's video had William in it, and they stated that it was his first time in a video. He and Nestor certainly have a strong family resemblance.
@@Maximusrex4575 Thank you, I thought he looked a bit young to be William. He's got some of Luke's mannerisms. I saw William in the video the other week. He is also a very polite and well spoken young man .
So very interesting. What I love beyond that beautiful estate is that you both are not afraid to do what it takes to manage, improve and discover your home and national treasure. I also love that Julie is a positive force and an American Gal we can be proud of. 😊
In the United States. Just found your channel and I am loving it! I live in South Carolina btw. I would love to see your home and stay in newly restored cottage. The views remind me of from where I grew up in South Central KY. Keep the episodes coming. Y'all are fantastic and entertaining!
Fascinating! Does all your water flow in underground tunnels and into storage tanks? Who puts the water in the underground tunnels? Local government? From a lake? Do you have water wells which pump water out of the ground? Also, this is just a suggestion but I would like to see a segment on Mapperton doors. I bet you have some beautiful hand carved doors. What does the doors of the main entrance look like? How about the chapel? Do you have ancient medieval latches? Fancy Victorian door knobs? You could do up a video segment like the open credits to the movie, The Nineth Gate, except not so sinister. Perhaps you could sell posters called Doors of Mapperton - a gridwork pattern of interesting doors? Not sure there would be much of a market for it but you could put wreaths on the doors, for posters, then sell them for Christmas?
The countryside is so beautiful. Reminds me of my native Virginia. I could live there. I visited The House of the Seven Gables and saw the secret passageway. Way cool. Not as cool as Mapperton. 😊
Elizabeth l visited Edward Worthington at Worthington manor in Worthington. My grandmother was a Worthington, the first maternal Worthington in my line from the 1400’s. ❤
City slicker Julie LOL 🤣. You'd think they were tromping through the Amazon Rainforest, constantly in danger of being eaten by all manner of beasties big and small.
I loved the first 18 minutes of the video of Julie and Luke showing us the hidden places. I love Luke's sense of humor. The old electric box was so interesting, I have not seen one like that before. The Queen Elizabeth Bath was so interesting also. I loved the old fortress site on top of that big hill! So interesting and the views were so beautiful. I laughed out loud when Luke said the metal detector would go half a mile down. Julie nice to know you are vegetarian, I am vegan and also I LOVE YOGA! I was very impressed with Luke when they showed the clip of him in that hole fixing whatever that pipe was. It is so interesting to see all about Mapperton and the history. Thanks for the video.
Viscount and Viscountess another fabulous episode of discovery, you two are so entertaining and make this Channel so great to watch and follow. Thank for the mystery tour around Mapperton Manor, until next week, be safe, take care and God Bless you both. PS - Nestor’s latest episode was great, he will need a decent Yacht to do the Volvo around the world event in 2025.
I am a British born Canadian now living in Mexico 😁. I absolutely love this channel. Takes me back to the rolling, green hills of my Yorkshire ❤️❤️. I must admit I do miss a good sweater and scarf as well. 🥰😍
You should light all of those fireplaces in the pool house and garden and set them up for tea for your guests. You can charge extra for tea out there. Would be a fun experience for your guests. Maybe give them a 2 hour window to sit by fire and take tea and biscuits and enjoy the atmosphere.
Please camera person…when taking about certain things…the bath …the doves …please scan to what they are looking at …it’s a nice thing to see what people can see …a good torch 😊
Loved the to see Nestor and his grandma together. What an amazing building. Julie I love your little caps where do you get them from? Greetings from Miami ❤
Enjoyed this beyond measure! All of these secret places are all so very special and brings even more uniquness to this lovely Estate. Look foreard to hopefully seeing a pt 2 and pt 3! You both are so sweet and together it is most humorous! Amazing all that "Ethel did" I had a greandmother called Ethel and ( well not the same one you are speaking of here LOL) But my mom was nicknamed that, but yet her real name was, Abbie. ) But you do not here the name Ethel , much anymore . Can just in my mind see thsi statley lady and all that she did and so artistic and interested in getting the best pictures she could, Loved going into the secret places . Was worried as you walked up turret and the photograoher was walking backwards yet and the steps were narrow. Then when Julie thought the door was locked and someone might have locked it, that was very scary ,as that is the last thing you want in a place like that. (seemed like horror picture then lol) Imagine reception is not so good ,and will never be able to let people know where you are. Maybe you would need to go out a window? (Luckily you would have all of us out here alerting help for you!!!lol) Thank you for this video and all of them! Thanks for sharing!
While in Ireland I climbed the stairs at Blarney Castle to kiss the Blarney stone, the stairs were VERY narrow as we got closer and closer to the top. I too though the men must have been very short with small feet. I love that little studio size hideaway room Julie. Hope you spruce it up and utilize it. Just use spider spray and clean it up. Purging is so therapeutic and you get to see and know where things are for the future. This has been an interesting tour of your property. Loved it.
Sadly, here in the U.S. we have the same Ash Tree die off from the Emerald Ash Borer. Also, chickens love a good dust bath and the trick is to use human grade diatomaceous earth, soil, and wood ash for them to roll around in. It will keep the lice away without toxins.
I am related to the Compton family. My mom did a family history and we come from the Compton family and Ashby Castle and Compton Wynyates. You mentioned a Reverend Compton so this brought my history to mind
Julie seems possessive of her vlog 😂 You should light those fireplaces when you have garden tours, that is such a neat feature. Especially if it is always chilly. Very cool feature. What was at the top.of the tower?! Restore that bath!... one day. 😂
Boiler rooms are fascinating, especially those that transition old systems to new ones. Ethel's paintings must be somewhere, right? You two are so cute together. Nestor and Lady Sandwich in the dovecote...wow! Never seen the inside of one but have read about them. The ancient hillfort is very cool; learned a lot about laws of detecting and digging in the UK from watching The Detectorists and then taking a deep dive on the subject. Thank you, Martin, Suzi, Amy, Raymond, Beryl, and all Mapperton staff! Julie and Luke, thanks for the secret places tour. What a fascinating virtual vacation I just had. 🥰
Might be fun to develop Esther's building/art legacy with plein air weekends and/or an artist in residence. Would be so wonderful to paint some of the beautiful vistas on the estate.
Seeing Nestor and his Grandmother was so special. Loved it!
You two are ADORABLE. I love your repartée. Thanks again for another gem.
Nestor with his grandmother is too sweet. And I never knew a dovecote was actually for doves. I thought it was just an architectural term. Thanks for saving me the research Mapperton! 😉
I loved all the the secret spaces, I could work on my cross stitch samplers instead of painting.
I dont mind the lovely banter. I know those who have shown their disappointment and lectured Julie to treat her husband more kindly could and should just scroll past. One isnt required to watch OR even comment. I thoroughly enjoyed this segment and loved the hidden areas. 😊
I can not imagine living in a home so big, that even after 20 years I do not know every square inch.
Let alone running out of work to do.
What a beautiful lad he is. You must be so proud of your "chicks".
I love how she's embraced her life across the pond and what's she's married into ... I also love that his parents have passed the torch so to speak and how these videos and channels are aiding in keeping the beauty and the overall appeal of the estate and it's grounds alive ... being here in the states we don't have this kind of history and tbh I'm truly envious of her but so happy for her at the same time, these two are such a wonderful couple together and not only are they but their children are all so very grounded ... speaks volumes on their characters. ❤

Second generation Californian here... and I know what a marauder is. Must be all those gothic novels I read as a young adult....😁
dear Julie, we Americans are proud of you for being authentic. may G bless you and your family. (hi from texas)
Julie is so funny. Shes cracking me up in that forest

Make the Summer House like a studio apartment/staycation room for 1…..❤

Living in a place that has secret nooks and crannies is like playing a mystery game in real life 😂❤
I’d never get one lick of work done. There’s enough to play with, look at and explore.
They sell pavement attachments for power washers. Saves a lot of time and effort.
I laughed so loud! It’s so nice to know your husband has a sense of humour!
❤❤The Summer house wouldbe lovely cleaned out, heated and a space for you Julie to read, draw, do needlework... to paint... perhaps having a resident artist to do paintings of the gardens and for sale in your shop x and necklaces with that key would be lovely to buy❤
I am so in love with the rolling downs around Mapperton absolutely exquisite ❤❤❤❤
As two warm bodies breathing hot air ascended the spiral stairs they prompted the air to rise quickly which caused the door to close at the bottom... sort of like priming the flue when starting a fireplace fire.

😊Julie singing the Limbo song in the cellar!! 😅 ...Back to the video!!
What a fun, funny and touching show. Is that William with his Grandmother? Love it 😍
Nestor, the youngest. Very sweet young man.
Great job steven! Thanks for risking the tower backwards!!
So very interesting. What I love beyond that beautiful estate is that you both are not afraid to do what it takes to manage, improve and discover your home and national treasure. I also love that Julie is a positive force and an American Gal we can be proud of. 😊
Please do more! REALLY loved this. Even as a child I adored secret places :)
Great episode!!! and also love Time Team!!
Thank you Julie and Luke ! Enjoyed the video ! Julie you never fail to make me smile ! Take care
So glad!
Luke and Julie you two are cute together you made me laugh ❣
A man who shamelessly flirts with his in front of the camera is a keeper.😊
Luke teasing Julie is sweet!
In the United States. Just found your channel and I am loving it! I live in South Carolina btw.
I would love to see your home and stay in newly restored cottage. The views remind me of from where I grew up in South Central KY. Keep the episodes coming. Y'all are fantastic and entertaining!
Welcome!!
Where in SC? I live downstate in Charleston metro.
Loved this one! I would love to see more of the beautiful and massive glasshouse besides the kitchen garden.

Oh how precious……what an absolutely amazing, sweet family❤❤❤❤❤
Usual bants 😂. Nestor and his grandmother are far better behaved 😂. Loved the video throughout as per usual. ♥️
The countryside is so beautiful. Reminds me of my native Virginia. I could live there. I visited The House of the Seven Gables and saw the secret passageway. Way cool. Not as cool as Mapperton. 😊
Elizabeth l visited Edward Worthington at Worthington manor in Worthington. My grandmother was a Worthington, the first maternal Worthington in my line from the 1400’s. ❤
Love the grottos
Love the little room
At 15:00, It looks like she must've hung a curtain over the door to keep the heat in & the cold out. 😊
I noticed that too. And it was for one hecka heavy curtain
Thank you Julia and Luke...I'm addicted to watching these videos.x
Such a beautiful house and estate!!
Miss Stephen and Claire.
You all are doing a magnificent job !
Julie, this was a great video, so much to learn. Mapperton and your land is stunning, the views are lovely. Thanks!
Julie- have we done a risk assessment???
Luke- bouncing on the bridge, “let’s go down together!” 😂😂😂😂😂 I’m with Luke!!
Luke I am so impressed that you know the internal workings of your house. Bravo!!🙌🏼
City slicker Julie LOL 🤣. You'd think they were tromping through the Amazon Rainforest, constantly in danger of being eaten by all manner of beasties big and small.
Ah, but they've had centuries to propagate and mutate 😁.
Every episode that you share, is more entertaining than the last one. Julie, you and Luke really are wonderful. 😊
Wow, thank you!
❤ it's a blessing watching the two of you interacting with one another. Thank you. Never lose that glow.

You two crack me up 😂. Your so sweet.
marauder is also an Australian word & means a person or persons unknown who are invading your land...
I really appreciate all the time that went into these videos. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
I am a British born Canadian now living in Mexico 😁. I absolutely love this channel. Takes me back to the rolling, green hills of my Yorkshire ❤️❤️. I must admit I do miss a good sweater and scarf as well. 🥰😍

I love the Spanish name of nooks and crannies, we call them Recovecos, I love that word
I'm a new subscriber and I absolutely adore the dynamic between you and your husband ❤ you two are so cute
You guys are hilarious 😂 Excellent program
😂😂😂😂😂😂This family is so cool!!!❤❤❤
This is quite interesting! Love it! Thanks for sharing
I love Time Teem! Was so happy to see it on TH-cam.
Julie i would love it if you filmed the classes and sold that either the manual, etc I can't get over there but would purchase! Love you all.❤
This is one of the best tours ever!! Thanks so much for taking us. I'm so fascinated. I want to be there ☺
Love Luke’s sense of humor
❤️this! I enjoy seeing all the secret places!!
Love your conversations (so sweet) love the hidden areas. Loved the Time Team and pleased that Toni is coming back, cheers
Adorable Raymond! Tricky Repairs Angel in the flesh...
I've lived in the US for 72 years and know the word "marauder." I also know swashbuckling, but I don't know why I want to buckle my swash. lol
I think the word is quite well known now from the Harry Potter universe. There is an important artifact there called the "Marauder's Map".
@@geirmyrvagnes8718 You are absolutely right. I am a big Harry Potter fan.
Please camera person…when taking about certain things…the bath …the doves …please scan to what they are looking at …it’s a nice thing to see what people can see …a good torch 😊
You could do a tour of those amazing secret places. Great video
Loved the to see Nestor and his grandma together. What an amazing building. Julie I love your little caps where do you get them from? Greetings from Miami ❤
I just found the cap in house. Random!
All of the jobs that he kept giving her made me laugh! 😂
Ooooooo! That kitchen garden is divine! 🥰🥰❤️
I love it. First time seeing this. I love it.
I would love to see more videos of the kitchen garden!!

Need I say or feel more!
They are my British family!
Fabulous episode. Love the secret places. The hill fort could take a whole episode if you have more history of there to tell?
While in Ireland I climbed the stairs at Blarney Castle to kiss the Blarney stone, the stairs were VERY narrow as we got closer and closer to the top. I too though the men must have been very short with small feet. I love that little studio size hideaway room Julie. Hope you spruce it up and utilize it. Just use spider spray and clean it up.

You are both so funny! My husband and I have much the same relationship. We’re always teasing one another.
What fun wonderful episode
Julie seems possessive of her vlog 😂
You should light those fireplaces when you have garden tours, that is such a neat feature. Especially if it is always chilly. Very cool feature.
What was at the top.of the tower?!
Restore that bath!... one day. 😂
