We love these stories!! This is what makes your work so valuable! You keep people’s stories alive. Buildings are interesting for their history, architecture and engineering but it’s the stories of the people who lived there that are so fascinating. Who were they? What were there days like? What were there dreams? And what ever became of them? This is how you bring history alive and remind of us who came before and why.
That curiosity about the lives of those who lived and worked at this fantastic House is exactly what drives the Team to tell these stories. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Next stop is the story of the Groom at the stables so stay tuned for that in the near future! :)
Glad you like them! One of the things we love doing on the channel is bringing educational videos on the history of the house to you all! Stay tuned for more!
Glad you enjoyed it! We're very proud of our all volunteers- especially when, like "William", they graduated though our own Creative Producers education program such as our actor Ryan did and many others who you may have seen throughout our videos on the channel.
The next two planned episodes are about the staff but after that we'll be looking at what people would like to see next. We have some fascinating stories to tell! So much history...and so little time! Please stay tuned and subscribed to our channel so we can let you know when these videos release!
Thank you for watching. Our digital team volunteer Deb works hard on this series and her passion really does show in the final videos we release! We hope you look forward to more!
They often walked up to 10-15 miles a day! But normally they just looked after the Earl, his wife and their children. For all those special occasions and house parties, the Fitzwilliams brought in a lot of extra staff from the Estate and Village. Everyone took a lot of pride in showcasing the House - it was a tradition that the villagers would be invited in to see everything set out because they'd all played a part in making it happen.
I'm sure autoregenerative subtitling is a curse for all who have it. Good luck with all your efforts in that enormous house. It's a marathon job to be sure. R
We're working to upload a transcript for this video. Some of the heavily accented spoken English has proved a bit of a challenge for built-in TH-cam caption software.
Well spotted! He's pure Yorkshire, born and bred :-) The volunteer team which makes the videos doesn't have any budget to bring in actors, so they have to use talent from within their own ranks. Ryan has been with us since January 2022 and will graduate from University later this year.
People in service had a better time than the majority of the working class. Regular paid work as well as room and board. With most of your daily needs covered you don't need to make a lot of money to live comfortably.
They must not have had any children. She was geriatric by pregnancy standards when she married at 37. Women now days don’t seem to understand how conception and pregnancy was not easily carried in your late 30’s before expensive medical help could extend the possibility even into the 40’s and even now it’s still not what is safest. What is statistically safest focusing on family while you’re still young and without co-morbidities that could come. There is a big difference between people like my aunt who was unable to have a child before her 40’s and those who think they can bank on it all while taking carcinogenic birth control not realizing the additional risks and issues they are choosing. I know not everyone wants family or adult children will take care of them one day, but many people are sad if children are never their portion, especially if they made poor choices in their youth and those children they could have had are now gone and your alone.
I follow with the sound off and the subtitling on. It bears no relevance to what is actually being said. As I can hear I must sympathise with those who cannot as they may be unablecto grasp what is being said. This is a common problem on tv too I think when the machine cannot transliterate what is being spoken. Poor tech? Poor pronunciation? American kit trying to read English pronunciation? I gave no idea.
We aploagise for this! TH-cam autogenerates subtitles and sometimes doesn't do the best job of it. As a volunteer team, we often struggle to find the time to subtitle our videos for both in house and our TH-cam channel but is something we're pushing to do more regularly in the future. We'll correct these subtitles ASAP for you so you can enjoy the video!
❤ Great video...wonderful way to delve into the people who served the families in this magnificent country home! Congratulations to the videographers!
Thank you so much! We've really enjoyed both the research and the filming for this series :-)
So interesting. Such a complicated hierarchy of servants in those great houses.
Yes they are! Almost a mirror of the social hierarchies of the families who employed them.
What a great way to tell this story and the history.

34 staff? They must have been absolutely knackered

The pay might not have been high but they had a roof over their head and food to eat.
...and high standards to meet - as well as order instead of chaos. 🧐

Despicable. To be a servant and to be proud of it…
Your nuts
Could do with a investment from elon musk or a loan?
Interesting but the subtitling is nonsense and ruins the pleasure of watching. A pity.
What did subtitle mess up? I am deaf and I wonder if it matches people talking.

Dont be selfish this of others it also improves the horrible audio I am NOT DEAF and have to concentrate to pay attention to the story line
