Very interesting video -- well done! What a remarkable story -- of the house and original owner and the architect. Very gracious of the current owners to allow filming in the house -- I appreciated how they have decorated the house and made it so livable for today -- great art collection, beautifully displayed. It goes so well with the outstanding architecture and general design of the house. Thanks for a terrific video.
Captivating! Not only because of its being a country house, nice enough in its own right, but also for the recreation of the life and lives of its joyful inhabitants and its creators. I could not stop watching and will undoubtedly call it up again when the love of my life and I need a bit of enjoyment together here in Utah, far from the Britain I also love.
Magical story, fantastic history, an love the outcome when became a private school, I can hear the joyous Cries of the pupils , actually can feel the energy of the house . Mary Canada 🇨🇦
Excellent. I especially liked the narration and the narrator. The The focus on history and architecture were enhanced by the introduction of people familiar with various aspects of Marshcourt’s existence.
The only thing missing from this segment were the WW2 years: completely glossed over. I know that in England, many country homes housed children from the cities during the bombing of London and with Johnson's predilection for philanthropy I would have assumed that Marshcourt became such a place, especially with Johnson's death not occurring until 1949. Does anyone have information on this? Such a fascinating time period and even more fascinating a man. If the world today were built of "Johnnies," I have no doubt we'd be in a much better place.
Whoever is posting these episodes needs to refine the sequence and fluidity so it keeps showing each episode in proper order. This is a struggle to follow in terms of watching full series. Great shows. Messy presentations.
Bill Gates may not be a fitting analogy. generosity may not be a characteristic many people associate with Bill Gates, assuming of course that it didn't eventually yield an overwhelming return, or that genuine humanity played any role.

Yes indeed...Dan was also a lecturer in the historicals amongst several other positions
Dan Cruickshank they should use him more often, I love his Documentaries
They won't! He isn't Communist enough! The Left rule Great Britain now, even if it doesn't look like they do.

I went to school there in the 1960s, as did most of my cousins. Maurice C A Wright (1907-1992) was the Founder and Headmaster of Marsh Court School
Wonder! Thank you for posting
If any other former pupils see this please get in touch, I'd love to relive some memories of school days at Marsh Court with you.
