Julie is such a lovely woman, warm and enthusiastic, with a sincere love for history, art and architectural heritage. Her personality is the one of a true aristocrat. Not being able to visit those places at the drop of a hat I enjoy her beautiful videos and appreciate the hard work that involves the restoration of these magnificent buildings. Nick Tatchell deserves a gold medal for his work and commitment towards the house, people like him are very rare nowadays. Greetings from Argentina.

Liked. Shared. Commented. Up the algorithm in hopes of repairing more historical homes!

Yes !

I absolutely love this woman who got her home back. Intelligence coupled with goodness shines through.

Them getting the house back is such a great story. I wish they would have done a youtube channel.

This is one of my favorite episodes, now

Armchair and heating pad traveling with Julie is wonderful!😉 I have such a love for British everything, especially the deep history, castles, manors and nobility. I never get tired of it or bored with it for years and years now. 😃 I’m an Illinois girl myself. Small town farming community.😁 Thank You for making all of this available to us out here in un-aristocratic land.😆 Good on you Julie!!! ❤

What joy to watch Julie and Her Jaunty Adventures. It’s fun to armchair travel from Indianapolis, Indiana. Thank you, Julie!

Oh my goodness what a treasure you have shared with us today. ❤

Absolutely loved this video. Julie you are such a great story teller and your excitement is contagious. I'd just love to see these homes.

I so enjoy all of your videos. You are living my dream life for sure. From this Grandma in Texas, I am proud of such an awesome person as you are there representing Americans. Keep up your adventures & videos ! ❤

I’m so proud of you! Your work has come such a long way! The shot of the boy asleep in the chair was the sweetest thing I’ve seen all day❤

Julie, thank you so much for highlighting how this family fought for years to get their family home back. So many beautiful and memorable videos throughout, They are finally restoring their home in such miraculous ways. It will be room to room and miracle to moracle as this beautiful Victorian home is restored little by little. Thank goodness for the texan that had.bought the painting back. Lady Viola. OMG. So many people helping to restore.a beautiful old manor home. The ghosts of your relatives are there helping you to achieve all your dreams there! This was such a riveting story throughout!🌟

What a wonderful man who bought the painting of the house and horse!!

Beautiful estate and amazing story. Thank you and the family for sharing this. So impressive!!

I could go on hours and hours watching about this fabulous estate (my favourite style!) and this absolutely lovely family! Nobody merits it more than this family, having her fabulous home back! I wish you many more generations, being able to upkeep this family home ans like the old Lady said: we are curious up to the moment when the son will be able to take over! But also the daughter in the treehouse is lovely, as is the entire family. Greetings from Switzerland

Absolutely loved this, so pleased the family managed to return 👏🏻👏🏻

Julie, you will have to revisit in the future. I look forward to seeing how the home and grounds are restored over time. It is so wonderful to imagine the future of Pitchford and the next generation.

What an amazing house ! I’m British and I have never heard of pitchford Thank you Julie for sharing!!😊

Your best house tour episode, Julie ❤️ from 🇨🇦

This truly brought a tear to my eye. My grandfather lost his family's estate at the beginning of WWII, he spent 20+ years recreating some semblence of what had been lost, in the countryside a little outside of London. After the collapse of Bre-X

Fantastic video and what a lovely family ! Thank you Julie for sharing this beautiful home and sweet family.

It seems like creating groups of people who are willing to help in the renovation in exchange for a vacation stay at the home. Everyone gets something!!

That’s going to be a lot of work but totally worth it. What a great house! I love the Elizabethan Houses and was able to tour Littlecote before it was sold. So happy the family is home again.

This was so fascinating, especially the lime plaster and the process of applying.

What a wonderful story. Thank you for bringing it to light.

The Arial view of the Beautiful English countryside is tranquil and serene, also breathtakingly beyond beautiful!!!❤❤

This has got to be my favourite. Thankyou so much. What a joy x

Watching from North Florida. From Aurora Illinois. Go Blackhawks West High. Enjoy your programs. Thank you for showing places I will not be able to see. Class of 1971.

What a lovely program/ documentary done by Viscountess Hinchinkbrook. I have viewed almost all of her shows. This family needs to consider drilling for oil since they have a natural source of pitch on their property. I am happy this family regained ownership of their historic family home.

This is a really fascinating video. That is so lovely that an American purchased that wonderful painting for the home.

Absolutely a joy to see your adventure at Pitchford.

Totally loved this !! Absolutely beautiful experience ! The lake and rowing was a time travel experience of true wonder.. What a home!! All the best to the family and restorers !! x

Fascinating, this insight into how the half timbered houses - and especially the wattle and daub - were built in Elizabethan times and the dedication and immense work that goes into repairing it “properly”. I do hope the family can at some point finish the house. And then I guess the next round of repairs will be necessary.

Dear Julie, thank you so much for the wonderful videos you share with us! I love to see an American woman embracing British history in such a beautiful way. I enjoy watching your forays into the history of these great castles and estates and manor homes! You bring the history to life for me 😊. Please know that all your hard work is appreciated and enjoyed.

I’ve seen this episode before, any update on how things currently are ?

Wow. This one's fascinating. Love young Edward and his Teddy.

The boat ride at the end is amazing. I would love a tree house. Sit & read , with a glass of sun tea. Wish i was a kid again😊

Remarkable. Thank you for sharing

Where can I learn more about how people lost their homes. Who decides what the family owns or doesn’t own & then sell their belongings. I need a lesson.

An American here who is very proud of you and wish you the best!!! Very glad your name is Julie and not Meghan!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This was a very good episode so enjoyable. Love the music you chose throughout. I 'm counting at least 20 chimnies is that accurate? lady Ptchford is so very lovely, her personality is fun and joyful. Yes, if you can find me a lord, Id love it too! This makes me so happy to see all these places being restored! Years ago I used to watch all the ones that went into ruins...and it really did something to me...I hoped one day people would get together and create organizations to restore them all......and it looks like my wish has seen the light. Wow I learned something very useful about the lime you can use for cement. OMG! the walls in one of my unfinished rooms that is inside another room has HAIRS in it! And the ceiling in the hall with all those tiny stripes of wood they used lime, this area is full of it. So, its Lime Sand and hair?

Gorgeous place. Lovely couple. Wishing them many nourishing, exciting years in this ancient, personal stead.

I wish Rowena and James every single success and best wishes that their dreams are realised! This is a lovely story to keep abreast of and get regular updates of. Thank you for sharing this with us Julie.

When you first started this video, I wondered how many ghosts are in that building, lol. I'm an American and the house I grew up in was built in the same year as I was born, but it was haunted. The door between the living room and dining room would always open and close by itself. The first time I saw it, I was in the adjoining family room to the dining room and my eyes were wide open; my stepfather said "Oh, don't worry about that, that is just Mr. Ghostie, he's not going to hurt you, he's wondering what's going on in here..Say hi to Mr. Ghostie" So I was 13 years old at the time and said "Hi Mr. Ghostie" and then the door shut by itself. My stepfather said, "See, that wasn't so scary, was it?" It was my first experience with a real ghost and from that point on I can honestly say I'm not afraid of them and I see actual human apparitions from time to time.

What an exception view of this amazing house! I love how Rowena and James are so absolutely positive about this restoration project! Have they posted a volunteer board to help?

This was wonderful! Thank you!

Absolutely love watching this. Everyone is so sweet.

I loved this episode ❤️ Thank you for sharing their story... such a lovely family. I wish them the best of luck ...love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤

This has been a joy to watch! I am amazed at the amount of work and the craftsmanship that goes into each room and the grounds. ❤

I really enjoyed this video. So interesting and informative! Thank-you.

I think I have seen this one before

Thank God for the Texan for buying back the painting and bringing such an important piece of history back to the home. Now on my bucket list just to see it for myself one day in person. Thanks Julie for bringing this story to life on KZread.

Julie, your enthusiasm is so infectious! Recently subscribed to your channel and I love your content. I found you because, being so sick and tired of Meghan M shenanigans, I wanted to find an American married to the British aristocracy and thriving in it. I know there are many of you, but your channel content gives back so much to your adopted country and promotes its culture to the world. Kudos to you!

Very fascinating story. Brilliant Julie.

Thank you.

What a fabulous movie, Julie. The family was delightful and educational! ❤

I thought we saw this on a previous episode. Still great vlog!

So happy to follow you both

Thank you so much for these estate visits. So many of my ancestors came from these areas and were fellow gentry so they must have known each other.

Great and interesting video.

New subscriber 💗 Amazing videos - thank you 🙏🏼

Wow! What a story.

the library looks like it came out of Bath or Brighton

Coolest tree house 🏡 ever ❤❤❤

Love this video, so special, their family story is amazing. What a lovely family. On a side note I find it interesting how English people- presumably Protestant- view priest holes. It’s like they see it as a fascinating part of history, but without any sense of horror of the persecution. It makes me think of how most English see colonisation as okay, or rather don’t really think of it at all.

Wow! Love this, history and beautiful architecture. I wonder if there were any diaries attached to anyone’s life or stay at Pitchford? Perhaps news articles in an archive somewhere?

Splendid estate. ❤

Gosh this Hall, what a treasure trove of delights at every turn! for example the plunge pool - it reminded me immediately of the beautiful pool painted by Sir john Everett Millais as the backdrop for his painting of Ophelia. The library takes my breath away, I have never seen anything like those chandeliers. I am dying the know the name of the interior designer engaged by the owners to create this look, what a genius. I tried to find out online, but no luck, could you possibly direct me to that info?

Hi Julie, The people who have the painting of the Countess of Hinchingbrook have written a book, Classical Shindig. Of all places, it's is in New Orleans. It looked like it was from the Victorian period. Hope you're doing well! Susan

The library is inspiring! It's like a hybrid of Dr. Suess, Alice in Wonderland, and Monty Python's Holy Grail! 😃

Is there a possibility that oil could be found underground as a potential income source for the estate? Has anyone looked into that? What a lovely home and definitely worth fighting for and to keep in your family. ❤ Just looking at the outside view as you both went in the very cold water. What an idyllic location :)

First thing I would do is repair/replace the whole roof. BTW almost 9 years ago I remarried my 1st husband after being apart for 20 years, so I get it. Sometimes people are supposed to be where they're supposed to be

Please educate me on what Lloyds of London did to people to cause them to lose their homes.

Rowena's parents were in a Lloyds of London insurance syndicate and had to sell their house to cover their share of insurance losses.

just checked out the link, very interesting. Can a person actually rent a room and stay?

This family is so Likeable Do they have a youtube account??? They Should. :)

😊😊

I'm not clear why Pitchford had to be sold initially.....

Love ,love,love,the houses hate That people think that other people are fit to rule over them because they said so😂 inbreeders....much love from Elgin Illinois stay free beautiful humans ❤ :)
