I always think of the staff that kept these places going. The kitchen staff, the maids, butlers and gardeners. Keeping food on the table and the house clean under probably stressful conditions. Thanks as always for keeping the history alive. It's really appreciated. =-)
Oh my goodness this is a wonderful home. I applaud those who r tasked to maintain the house & gardens or do it cuz they simply love it &wish to keep history alive!! My jaw dropped when I saw the first bed 😮. It’s utterly stunning. The 2nd bed is equally as stunning but the addition of the hand-embroidered “drapery” (I don’t know it’s proper name) tops it right off. I loved the fireplaces as well, each having its own charm. I truly enjoy watching y’all’s videos. Thank u for making them. They mean so much to me. Take care 😉
It is such a lovely hall and I feel its probably underrated and not that visited. As you say amazing inside and furnishing and drapery is like nothing you see today.
Yet another excellent video! This particular house is very much a very well preserved example of Elizabethan architecture and decor! I found this video to be hugely interesting and fascinating. Thank you again! 😊
Why is it? The older the house, the better I like it! All that carved wood, all the care and attention that went into creating living spaces that I find most charming and suited to country ways! Never mind the lack of plumbing, lack of central heating, lack of electrical wiring! I'd rather live with the ghosts (and the crashing chimneys)! Thank you, M.S., for taking this wonderful tour for your viewers!
Thank you for the wonderful mid-week surprise! I love how carefully the interior of Oakwell Hall has been restored, and staged to reflect how people of the time would have lived. I imagine the original ceiling would have been impressive. Those early carved beds are fantastic...three of them! The embroidered hangings are the icing on the cake. As an American, when I first saw a preview for "Last Tango in Halifax", I figured it was about people in Nova Scotia. Now I know better! Cheers, guys. :)
Thank you that the narrative is concise and the camera stays on special features for the viewer to enjoy the piece as we hear the information. Your visits are superb.
I learn so much from your wonderful vlogs. Yorkshire is much more interesting than I thought. I have been to York and Howard’s Castle. I see now if God permit s as I have a bad back I must return and go farther afield. Thanks again.
Awww what a beautiful place. Gosh it would have been hard to keep it clean. Those grounds were gorgeous. Lovely place to walk around. Thank you so much for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care
Thank you again for a lovely video . The house is Amazing/ Beautiful and perfect.and again a fantastic job on all the filming inside of the house. Loved it ! 👍👍
Glad you like the bonus ones, if we didn't this Yorkshire series would never end! That being said we will be sad when it does. Loved every minute of making the videos.
Thanks for this little extra treat! How interesting those painted 3D panels were. And can you imagine hanging your clothes where you do your business? What were they thinking? 😂 The gardens are lovely. This really is a well maintained and beautiful property. I easily see someone living in there today. Thanks Will and Simon! Much appreciated ❤
Thanks for another very interesting video. May I ask what we are seeing at 4.12? Is is a strangely shaped fire grate? And thanks for informing my fellow Canadians about the original Halifax 🙃
Good question Diana, I had a look on google for some similar photos of fires of that period but nothing comes close. I am going to take a stab at saying the shape helps keep the fire tightly contained and hot with a small amount of wood? The small shelves at the sides to keep a pot of water warm? What were your thoughts on why it might be like that.
Nice one fellas, grew up in Batley but only visits were being dragged around on field trips from Batley High School 😎 Was the hall part of the Joseph Priestly history too? Also there is a present Fieldhead estate(housing/school) near by at Wilton Hall(or house). I have long since left the area. Cheers DougT
Apart from all the servants running up and down and the King Charles Spaniels? Yep. The Upper Crust tended not to sleep with their equine mounts at this period of British history. 😉
Hi links are in the description of the video but here you go. goo.gl/maps/HEmL2kvBggBsCoZ26 www.kirklees.gov.uk/beta/museums-and-galleries/index.aspx 😊
Why is it that many wealthy "Pop Stars", including the Rolling Stones, sing 'rebellious' songs yet have, in the main, bought historic houses!!!??? Even Andy Warhol had a very large apartment furnished by VX11 c furniture, paintings, carpets and Objects D'Art!?
Back then the servants probably got very little wages if any, board and lodgings and a couple of Pennie’s a month, I really have no idea but I doubt they got much.

What a treasure of a house! Standing still in time.
It is quite amazing it has survived the changes over time.

Glad you like the bonus ones, if we didn't this Yorkshire series would never end! That being said we will be sad when it does. Loved every minute of making the videos.
My family home, i really have to come visit soon. I hear William and a few others still are there maybe can see them.
I recognize this house from the “Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell “ miniseries! You’ve inspired me to reread “Shirley”.
Lovely video with good informative voiceover. 👍🤔
Thank you 😊
Really enjoyed this ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you!
Really enjoyable!! Thank you😊

I know why would you do that, but I guess it must have worked!

Would the fireplaces be the only form of heat?
In that era, yes indeed they would have been.
Apart from all the servants running up and down and the King Charles Spaniels? Yep. The Upper Crust tended not to sleep with their equine mounts at this period of British history. 😉
😀👏👏👏
👍🥰⚘❤
🌻👍🏻🤩⚘
The smell would keep more than moths away.
😂
Would love to visit! A map and phone number would be a help

It's really ugly on the outside. Like black mold and mildew took over.
Its just black from hundreds of years of pollution.
Back then the servants probably got very little wages if any, board and lodgings and a couple of Pennie’s a month, I really have no idea but I doubt they got much.
