Oh! I realized I had 'jumped' a episode. So here I am happy to watch the lime plaster panels restored on the main- and the treehouse : Fascinating craftsmanship! A girl of 13 Years of age she was Queen Victoria... and somehow I connect. I remember my grand mothers garden, me on an apple tree growing in a bambu forest having a secret lunch with my sister. We where not allowed on this tree and when we where called, we could slide down one of the bambou poles and answer 'Yes' on the ground. Never thought a Lime-tree could become that old and big!
I would love to do the plastering! How relaxing and therapeutic! Beautiful house! You did a great job with Nester's gift! I'm sure he loved it! Love the Wisteria! Lovely treehouse!!!
Apparently plaster or mortar mixed with horse hair kept the old houses warm in winter and cool in summer. It’s because it’s a natural breathable fabric.
Fascinating to watch and learn how much effort goes into restoring half-timbered houses! I think I would enjoy trying my hand at it. Loved watching Julie learning to willow weave and making something for Nestor. Michael is very talented and I would like to see more of his work.
Thank God for Nick and his love for restoration of old homes, he has the patience of a Saint. Also, congratulations to the artisans and their crafts, I don't think many people realize the man hours that goes into their crafts to bring us the beautiful things they make.Beautiful video Julie thank you!
Nick's information was really interesting! I had know idea just how much work it was to restore the walls of an Elizabethan / Medieval house! Love the term "Snots" and the yak hair! It was wonderful meeting Michael and Sophie. Great location for art studios! I really enjoyed learning about the willows and weaving. The tree house is awesome.The tree is extraordinary! Wonderful video! Love from Vermont
Congratulations, Julie, on your first attempt at lime-rendering, I'm certainly no expert, but you did a brilliant job! It's good to see you highlighting Nick's expertise, without which Pitchford Hall wouldn't look half as spectacular. I can't wait to see how the Hall looks when he has finished. I am loving this series and I am eagerly looking forward to the next instalment.
Love the old traditions and last so much longer. Modern buildings are disintegrating in 5/10 years. These buildings are centuries old and last and last. Such a joy to watch talented people keeping these skills alive but also wanting to use them.

You know there’s so many talented college students on both sides of the pond or into historical preservation it wouldn’t be interesting to have summer internships heck they’ll sleep under the stars just have to feed them something but it would be such an interesting project to tag into a university graduate students are even to help I have a lot of students at Tulane University historical preservation where they’re doing the same techniques I saw today. It’s just a thought.
I so want to visit this place! And I kind of want to be an old building restorer now. Heh. Your editor might like to know that you can strip out the noise of the drone being picked up by the mics by using a program like Audacity (which is free but pretty powerful, or other sound editing software with similar features). All you need is some clean recording of the noise you want to strip out, so you'd take 10-20 seconds or so of no talking, and that would be your sample for what to remove. When done properly you should still be able to hear the dialogue perfectly with very little degradation of quality.
Hi Julie, The window in the tree house is just incredibly Beautiful....I loved Mr.potter amazing sculptures...And the sweet Bird nest for NESTOR..Great job..it really came out stunning.. Loved the willows...great Talents ...I can't wait to See what you do for artists on your property.. Creative people really do Need quiet spaces for Creativity...loved this♡ Nick is such a perfectionist and loves his Job..♡
Sunny England, Deep England. Love following this story. Some of the smallest things such as James wearing his wellies (rubber boots) in that clip at the end with his family are just so nice to see, you can almost feel your own feet on the ground there, smell the air and hear the birds, etc.

Wow so cool what it takes to repair, just thinking one time this was how things were done. I really liked the stable area being a horse person lol. I would have like to see more interior of the stables and hay loft area. But the Blacksmith Forge fabulous. Oh the tree house love the fancy window, the shape of it. I thought I saw a door top in a shape like that too, was it just for looks? Can’t wait for the next video ❤️🇺🇸.

I am finding this whole series absolutely delightful. Your channel was recommended to me about two days ago and has already become one of my favorites, not least of all because of your amazing personality. The absolute beauty of these historic buildings remain a fascination of mine, and you show us the life and love imbued in each home.

Love these videos. Always fun and fascinating. Wish I was there to try and learn more and give it a go myself. I would love to learn these cool skills. My grandparents lived in a very historic American home. I love old houses. These shows absolutely thrill me. My prayer is that maybe one day I could get my Grandparents place back and restore it. That is my dream and has been since I was a girl. So I love this family's story on getting their historic home back.

I love all your house tours! Please, keep the ventures going! Thank you, for bringing attention to the preservation of these beautiful historical homes. Timothy Fortner
My dear lady Hitching took, You are such a gem I am so happy for Luke that he was able to marry you. Again in the design for Wouldicott Manor the lower three quarter ring of the building is exterior like a Tudor building style. The main building which is the entrance and several other uses is two floors and limestone exterior looks like Maperton. If I can find a postal address for Maperton I will send you a copy of the architects plans end of Summer
This was so charming! I have to say, even though I am an American, the history and beauty of the buildings and people have captured my interest. Your loving and caring presentation of this history draws the viewer in. We are all affected by this history, wether we are descendants of Britain or not. Thank you to all the people involved in bringing such treasures to us. I happily anticipate more.
Catching up to older videos and I must say this is really interesting and I’ve learned something. After this, Julie, working in the gutters at Mapperton - piece o’cake!
Hello ciao Julie missed the live but watching while doing yoga how fascinating the lime hair infusion the art pieces love art and the weaving very therapeutic 👌I loved the visit to Queen Victoria’s treehouse just mesmerising and so fortunate to be there always a pleasure Julie can’t wait for the next visit to Queen Victorias treehouse ❤️👌Have a lovely week my love❤️😘😍😍👌👌🌟🌟

Julie a wonderful episode on Pitchford and enjoyed watching you work to restore Pitchford and it was fun seeing you create a bird basket. By the way I also love the beautiful wisteria that seems so abundant at Mapperton.
Amazing, what an interesting process! I never knew how these beautiful historical buildings were built. So glad the owners are saving this building. The craftsmanship is breath taking.
You are so lucky! I adore this home and dream of living in a home like that. Even if it’s on a much smaller scale in America. I bet you have so much fun Julie. One day, my goal is to come and vacation there.
This is so interesting the work going into restoring it. I bet if someone was willing to be patient and share the skills, they could get volunteers to come and help as a ‘holiday’ learning something new. I’m sure I’ve seen similar schemes on grand designs.
The coffee table in my living room is a bellows, a bit bigger than the one you tried, from a 1703 forge in New Jersey US. It is a great table for appetizers during parties and also a great conversation piece. I was fascinated to see the plastering process.You seemed to catch right on. And your bird basket was beautiful.
I think it would be interesting to find out which forge it came from. There was a foundry in my home town of High Bridge that may have been in operation then.
@@amethystanne4586 I've tried to get more information but without success. I don't think there is any way to tell one from another unless somehow its story has stayed with it. It certainly stops people in their tracks when they walk into the living room! I only got it because I got lost and stopped to ask directions at an antique shop. Did foundries (versus black smith shops) use bellows?

Hi Julie! You should come across the pond to Lenox Massachusetts to explore all the amazing history! I have been working on scaling down a model of The Mount, owned and designed by Edith Wharton. I am building the exterior and the gardens out of gingerbread. It has been a two year process and a labor of love. Once finished, I am planning on presenting it to the historical society. Hopefully it will draw more patrons and money for the amazing upkeep of the house and gardens.
It's so interesting how in our houses today we do everything to keep moisture out, whereas in this 500 year old wooden house they are doing everything to keep moisture in.

Is that wysteria on your property? There is in Pasadena CA a old property where they hold an annual wysteria event. Some people make jelly out of the flower petals.
Wow!!! I’m related to the Tatchells!!! Never see that name anywhere except in my family!!! My Gr Grandmother was a Tatchell...do know the original folks came from England... so maybe I’m related to Nick...Haven’t done too much w/ that part of the family... Will look and see what I can find out... WLYK... love your show!! 😻🧑🏻🦰❣️
Another lovely episode. The bird basket Julie made was lovely and I hope it was well received. Does anyone know the name of that gorgeous shrub at 18:00 ?
@Favourite Moon: 18:00 is of weaving outside, in the courtyard of the weaving studio. I'd be glad to try guessing the shrub if you can find it at a different time? (I'm assuming you didn't mean the blooming wisteria at 22:23; looked around and didn't see any other likely candidates.)
Pitchford could offer sponsorship opportunities for individuals and companies. I would consider doing a workcation - go to the property work on a room with my husband and sponsor the cost of the room or a portion of the cost of the room. I think you would find that poeple would love to be involved.
Oh! I realized I had 'jumped' a episode. So here I am happy to watch the lime plaster panels restored on the main- and the treehouse : Fascinating craftsmanship!
A girl of 13 Years of age she was Queen Victoria... and somehow I connect. I remember my grand mothers garden, me on an apple tree growing in a bambu forest having a secret lunch with my sister.

I would love to do the plastering! How relaxing and therapeutic! Beautiful house! You did a great job with Nester's gift! I'm sure he loved it! Love the Wisteria! Lovely treehouse!!!
I loved when you helped put the lime on the building! So fascinating, the old techniques! And, they last much longer than modern ones. So satisfying!
That was truly a pleasure, thank you for sharing your experience! Love, Jeannie Mitchell Myers!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THESE FABULOUS STRUCTURES AND HOMES AND CASTLES!!!! FASCINATING!!!
I LOVE YOUR 1957 LIGHT BLUE CORVETTE!!!💖💖💖💖💖
The weaver has such a soothing voice and way about her. If I was there I would love to take a class with her. It would be so relaxing.
Brilliant series! Love seeing how this couple are restoring this ancient home.
Really enjoy all your video’s.👍👍👏👏👏
This is in my family and I hope to visit one day. I’m happy to see it being restored and taken care of like it should be.
Apparently plaster or mortar mixed with horse hair kept the old houses warm in winter and cool in summer. It’s because it’s a natural breathable fabric.
What a lovely place to work.... it is amazing how this place has developed.... great work has been put into it xx
Omg brilliant!!! So amazing, loved this series 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕The JH was so exciting!!!
You bird feeder came out wonderfully for Nestor. I think he’ll be proud of his Mother!!
Fascinating to watch and learn how much effort goes into restoring half-timbered houses! I think I would enjoy trying my hand at it. Loved watching Julie learning to willow weave and making something for Nestor. Michael is very talented and I would like to see more of his work.
I love that you put your initials in the lime wash!!
60 years ago I was taught this technique by a Master Plasterer. He only approved two of us from 100 applicants.
Also is done different from dry to wet cold and hot areas too....example pire n bean in da south but not up north slab
Thank God for Nick and his love for restoration of old homes, he has the patience of a Saint. Also, congratulations to the artisans and their crafts, I don't think many people realize the man hours that goes into their crafts to bring us the beautiful things they make.Beautiful video Julie thank you!
Queen Victoria's tree house is amazingly stunnig WOW. 👑☕🗝📜📖
I love the car! Have you talked about it? If not, please do.
So Fascinating! Watching from Upstate New York! Just found your channel and love it! ❤️
Nick's information was really interesting! I had know idea just how much work it was to restore the walls of an Elizabethan / Medieval house! Love the term "Snots" and the yak hair!

Oh I am loving the Pitchford freindships you are building!
I'm loving seeing Pitchford Hall. I'd love to see a TH-cam channel just on Pitchford Hall and all the restoration work and stories etc
Julie. I appreciate your authenticity! Your vlogs are fun! ❤️🇨🇦
How the HELL did I miss this?!?
Julie, I never miss anything you post. Although I have to work this weekend. Watch the Boston pops for July 4th!
This is my absolute favorite holiday!
As someone who loves English history, this felt almost emotional to me. How amazing to repair a little bit of an Elizabethan house! Bravo Julie!

Also by adding hair to the mix. It helps to insulate the house better. Very similar to when someone builds with cob with some sort of fibres.

Another wonderful informative vlog, just love your genuine generosity of giving of yourself. Thanx
Can’t wait!!!
What a treat and Julie you are awesome! What a treasure and a daunting task to preserve an integral part of history.
I love the house but all I kept thinking when there was zoomed out bits that show the roof, was “man that looks like it needs a new roof badly”
Loved that . Thank you from California. USA
I loveeeeed this Julie!! I want to make that basket!!

This episode reminds me of the original television show, This Old House.
Such and amazing channel, love it 🎉

You are fabulous 🤩 hello from Florida 😎🏝️🙏☮️
This is so interesting the work going into restoring it. I bet if someone was willing to be patient and share the skills, they could get volunteers to come and help as a ‘holiday’ learning something new. I’m sure I’ve seen similar schemes on grand designs.
What a lovely place, especially loved seeing the tree house. Would love to know what they are having to do to preserve the actual tree
Tree house wow. Basket cool!😊

Hi Julie! You should come across the pond to Lenox Massachusetts to explore all the amazing history! I have been working on scaling down a model of The Mount, owned and designed by Edith Wharton. I am building the exterior and the gardens out of gingerbread. It has been a two year process and a labor of love. Once finished, I am planning on presenting it to the historical society. Hopefully it will draw more patrons and money for the amazing upkeep of the house and gardens.
It's so interesting how in our houses today we do everything to keep moisture out, whereas in this 500 year old wooden house they are doing everything to keep moisture in.
How can you do all that and stay pristine?? I put anything white on and dirt jumps out at me.

Wow!!! I’m related to the Tatchells!!! Never see that name anywhere except in my family!!! My Gr Grandmother was a Tatchell...do know the original folks came from England... so maybe I’m related to Nick...Haven’t done too much w/ that part of the family... Will look and see what I can find out... WLYK... love your show!! 😻🧑🏻🦰❣️
How long will the lime repairs last?
Another lovely episode. The bird basket Julie made was lovely and I hope it was well received.
Does anyone know the name of that gorgeous shrub at 18:00 ?
@Favourite Moon: 18:00 is of weaving outside, in the courtyard of the weaving studio. I'd be glad to try guessing the shrub if you can find it at a different time? (I'm assuming you didn't mean the blooming wisteria at 22:23; looked around and didn't see any other likely candidates.)
Great job. What processes do they do for the roofing?
Pitchford could offer sponsorship opportunities for individuals and companies. I would consider doing a workcation - go to the property work on a room with my husband and sponsor the cost of the room or a portion of the cost of the room. I think you would find that poeple would love to be involved.
