WOW, WHAT A PLACE, HOW COME I'VE NOT SEEN / HEARD OF IT BEFORE, I'VE ALWAYS HAD A FACINATION FOR TUDOR , HALF TIMBERED HOUSES. AN EXCELLENT PRESENTATION.
Thanks Sarah. Short and sweet. This place is a real treasure. Amazing job done on the preservation. So old-world like, gives you a real feel for what life was like for those living and working there. The great hall with it's vaulted ceiling really is a sight to see. Also good to see a place connected with Catherine Parr's earlier years that reminds us that she lived a life before becoming Henry Viii's Queen.
Very good and knowledgeable video I love history I always have done being a Scotsman myself, but I live in the north-east. I’m so proud of our heritage
Thank you for sharing! Love seeing the authenticity of this Hall! What is the wooden circular area that is roped off at 2:51 in the video? I listened to Ian Mortimer in a podcast this week describing his personal home and this brought his description to life!
It the louvre that would have once sat atop the roof of the great hall and let the smoke out from the fire that would once have been in the centre of the hall, directly below. Great question - thanks!
I am not sure. I didn't stick my head in there. However, there were a few similar doorways leading off the mani kitchen. One led to the guy who ran the kitchen - like a little office, others into specialised areas of the kitchen. Maybe it was one of those. Thanks for the question.
Hi Beverley, what are your current thoughts about how the house is being presented, without emphasis on its social history? I think I am going to make a short film sharing my point of view as I know EH has come in for a fair bit of criticism for it.
@@TheTudorTravelGuide I’ll be honest, I haven’t been following too closely. Certainly over the last couple of years, pre Covid- there’s been a huge focus on the Mayflower connection, which is huge in the area. There certainly has been a lot of vacancies advertised in the house- so the feeling there’s a bit of a new broom sweeping through.
@@beverlyoxford803 I was there last year and did think about you and the 'Doh! I should have let Beverley know I was in the area!' thought did cross my mind. Next time, I definitely will.
That’s not an oriel window, it’s a bay window. Oriel windows are supported on corbels, on a floor above the ground floor. This window is supported by a foundation on the ground level.
It is a crime when poncy individuals come along who have zero interest in history and yet decide to change the very fabric of our heritage. This home should be protected structurally and visually forever!

2:27 I like the gentle harmony between the 1460 Tudor and 1985 Miami Vice sections of the interior.

I'm thinking of moving to Gainsborough soon & the Old Hall will be top of the list of places to visit.
This is definitely on our next visit.

It’s too bad they can’t flesh this absolutely wonderful house out with some true to period furniture.
Fantastic building! At 4:05 I’m wondering where that archway leads to. It’s to the far left of the fireplace, guarded off by a wooden ‘horse’ 🤔

This is walking distance from my home. It’s a regular place for historic talks.

We can have a cuppa. I’d love to meet you x

Excellent - thanks for that.
i found out today the 1st baron is my 18th great grandfather!
I would not call the Tudor period Medieval, it is more properly called Early Modern.
Built late 15th century fyi
😔
