    So youtube are making me replace the song, considering I got the song from an app that says they use songs with no copyright, frustrating to say the least as I put a lot of work into this video, not sure how this will go, so apologies in advance, if they let me change the music or if it means just a section. I hope it wont ruin it for you. talk soon, God bless

    How unusual that they would build such a high wall around the graveyard. How sad that they still have lots of room, not to be filled with more family. Thanks, Sue for all your efforts. They are appreciated.

    Hey Sue, another great video. What an impressive fascinating tour this was. The castle itself has such a varied n curious history. I cant help but wonder how different history mightve been if Maria Duckett hadnt disinherited her daughter Olive...we'll never know. Thanks also for the tour of the cemetery, the location was interesting, in the wide open field, away from the castle...so quiet. It was a wonderful tour, thankx! :)

    A locked gate will never prevent you from bringing history to us. The castle is such a mix of builds. I love the Gothic gargoyles, with their grotesque facial features. My grandmother told me the story of banshees, told to her by her mother. The story went that they were old women, with long black hair, who would come at night to comb their hair as they wailed a terrifying sound. I subsequently learned that the sounds were made by female cats who had come "into season" and were calling to Tom cats. Having had a cat who did exactly that at just 4 months, the sound is just awful. She was taken to the vet promptly to be fixed. I presume many parents were just too embarrassed to tell their children about the birds and bees 🤣

    Wow this was a big place in it’s day..It’s in a beautiful setting too.It’s got a lot of different sections on it showing the add ones throughout the years..It’s sad really that after the fire no one did anything to it for so long.It would have been great it they could have at least restored the front part.It could have been opened and would soon pay for itself if they used it for functions too.The gardens would have been full of colour.The first one looks as though it may have been the vegetable and fruit garden and the second the floral one.The hedges would have been much lower and everything planted out neatly in each section.The floral beds would have had flowers throughout the year ,both to look pretty and to be cut for displays indoors too..You can just imagine the ladies of the house or their guests walking in the garden with their beautiful silk dresses rustling behind them,and their parasols to keep the sun off their skin.Such glamorous times for the well off ladies…It was nice to see that their graveyard is in good condition and that someone has put faux flowers on each of the graves.This was a lovely adventure Sue .Thank you..Love n Light 🥰

    Fascinating history this family has, I have just read the very long history on Google of 'Ducketts of Duckett Grove' and it explains why she was only left a shilling etc. It also has photo's of how the outside of the house looked in it's earlier years, so beautiful. Thank you so much Sue, amazing place with beautiful gardens. Never admit to anyone that you gained entry by climbing a fence (especially on you tube) I thought you leant against the fence Sue, and as it was such a low waist high fence you accidentally toppled over to the other side. 😊 Great work! You could always sing something you made up yourself and play that as your theme song 🎼🎶🎤💕🇦🇺

    The castle ruins and grounds, and surrounding countryside are spectacular! The family cemetery is pretty cool as well. Two fires in a short period of time? Either there were some incompetent servants, or perhaps some servants who favored Olive set the fires to get back at the step-mother for that one shilling affair. Or did the fires occur long after that? Great video, thank you very much Sue and GV.
