A new adventure begins here at Althorp, as we share more about the projects and history we care so deeply about. We've been filming behind the scenes at the estate for the past 3 years and hope these weekly episodes will be revealing and informative way to document the incredible history we have the privilege of caring for.
I want to thank Karen so much for sharing this with us. You are doing a wonderful job in the role of countess and I am so thankful you have chosen to share this privelege with us.
your life is great, it must be wonderful to be able to see objects and things with so much history in your own house, it is to be an archeologist without having to repair, from the bottom of my heart I congratulate you for the conservation work for everything you have done and have plans for the future .
From Virginia/Florida here - this is so exciting, I I love British history! Thank you for sharing your family's history with the world 🙂
I am here for it all. Thank you for letting us come with you on your journey of discovery!
Love learning about everything Spencer!
Glad you are a Spencer also, please keep sharing.
I am also a Spencer, too. I'm very proud to be born one. So nice to meet others on here after just linking my lineage to Althrop and lady Di. Purely amazing.
@@jessicaspencer5540 Hello Cousin (my nieces name is Jessica Spencer as well)
How cool that we can get a glimpse into the house and estate.
Thanks so much.
Yes yes yes, it is time to let us ALL IN! I am so excited for the weekly opportunity to peek over your shoulder as you discover the treasures of living at Althorp. PS. it's contagious by the way! I am GIDDY I've got it!
Hello from Nashville Tenessee! Mrs. Spencer, thank you for showing me all about where you live now! It's super exciting for me as a guy from the south to even get to see it! Thank you so much and best of luck with everything! 😊
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!I I treasure everything you both do.
Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Thanks for sharing this video . There are many people like me who do not have the opportunity to visit this place
Beautiful ❤️! You're doing a wonderful job! 😊
You are like a modern day Jackie Kennedy to Althorp here. I studied archaeology/anthropology/history and your interests/enthusiasm are the perfect match for Althorp. Enjoying these.
Excited to see what you’ve found!
Fantastic clip! Looking forward to more! Keep up the HARD owrk!
A very enlightening experience no doubt.
Just take a look at how a family's descendants are telling a story of their ancestors spanning over 500 years. But someone here wants me to believe that my own ancestors were bad people all because of Christianity (religion).
I love all those who came before me, and I will do my best to establish a long-lasting history of my own family lineage just as you guys are doing.
Much love from Nigeria.
Looking forward to seeing more x
So looking forward to your videos!
Princess Diana is home again and she sent you to her brother Charles to love him. Diana knew you'd be perfect for him and for Althorp 😊😇
Amazing 🤩
oh my goodness, this is all good news. thank you for taking on this immense project so we can enjoy it too!
So sad she is not a Spencer anymore. I’ll miss her in this series
Me encanta gracias
I wonder, if the family still invests in sheep farming as their ancestors did in the 1400's!
Who is she ?
Having visited Althorp at least a dozen times, twice on the private invitation of the Earl Spencer, now that we live in the Algarve, I am so pleased to be able to visit this wonderful heritage home via “Spencer 1508”. I subscribed from the first episode and view the videos when I want to feel like I am back home in the green and gentle pastures of England. Congratulations, Karen, on immersing yourself in this rich history and culture. You are simply fascinating to listen to as you uncover the hidden aspects of Althorp for us who are far away. 👌
Countess Spencer, what lovely accomplishments & goals! Love the channel. Cheers from Toronto 🇨🇦
As a Northants lady living near Althorp until 33 years ago. Have known former Earls and adore the house and estate. When are you going to re instate the Literary Festival again?? Look after the beautiful estatexx

I am fascinated by the farming aspect! Both my parents came from farm families during the depression. Dad's family were not wealthy enough to have tractors,so they did all the plowing with hand plows and mules. They lived in Georgia.They also had no electricity or running water and boiled all the laundry in lye soap in a cauldron. They had a smoke house. They made their own bread,biscuits and cornmeal.And in spring,they would take all the furniture out and sun it to kill all the germs. My grandparents were born in 1880 and 1884. They knew how to do everything by hand. They raised cotton primarily and grew their own vegetables and raised livestock which usually they sold. My mother's parents on the other hand were slightly better off. They were both born in 1910. They lived in Iowa which was a harsher climate,had tractors,which they had to know how to repair. To be a modern farmer you had to also be a mechanic.Otherwise their lives were similar. They made everything and went without indoor plumbing and electricity until the early 60's. I grew up at Bethesda Home for Boys in Savannah Ga. Which was a 650 acre property. There we raised beef cattle. So agriculture is a big part of my background. My cousins on both sides grew up in that farming environment. I got less of an exposure,but still grew up on what was a historical property with livestock and did learn to drive a tractor and bale hay! The farming aspect of Althorpe really fascinates me! Agriculture is the backbone of all our society. I still go to state and local fairs and have an interest in gardening and botany,which I have become really good at. I hope ya'll are able to make the farm successful and profitable. It's hard work!
Wow very wonderful ❤❤❤❤
Thank you Lady Spencer
Excited
