Inside a 1,000 Year Old CASTLE Built by THE KING
Ойын-сауық
This remarkable castle, built on the instruction of William the Conqueror, has been in the same family for 450 years. With an extraordinary variety of castles, manors, and stately homes available, this truly is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - don't let it slip away! Mention "Julie" when booking for £1,000 off any stay of 5 nights or longer. 🏰 storiedcollection.com
Prior to the Watson’s ownership the Castle was held by the crown. There are very few other homes that have been continuously occupied for nearly 1000 years and within that time been owned by just one family since being relinquished as a royal Castle.

The Gilded Age American Heiress Exhibition opened to the public here at Mapperton on the 5th May. However, if you can’t make it in person you can buy a ticket (3 cups of coffee) for a virtual hour long tour with me, and support this ongoing project over at www.buymeacoffee.com/juliejmo...
A new exhibition offers a glimpse into the captivating world of Alberta Sturges Montagu, the 9th Countess of Sandwich, and an American Heiress from the renowned era known as The Gilded Age.
Curated by Mapperton’s very own American Viscountess, Julie Montagu, the "American Heiress" collection is comprised of more than 10,000 previously unseen letters exchanged between Alberta (Sturges) Montagu and her family, as well as the peerage at large.
Dating from 1888 to 1951, these letters constitute the largest unpublished private collection of correspondence from the period. They offer a remarkable glimpse into the life of a "dollar bride" during the Gilded Age, shedding light on both triumphs and struggles.
The exhibition takes innovation to the next level by introducing Alberta AI, a ground-breaking creation that brings her story to life like never before.

Oh Julie you make me so proud to be American, you are so kind and like me so honoured to live in this beautiful country, you show knowledge and interest but you also let the host speak . The castle is magnificent and learning of its history is just amazing. Thank you so much for sharing these experiences with us.

It’s such a wonderful castle and I love the length of the video. Julie doesn’t try to fit all of it into a 30 second video. The story is the beauty!❤
1:09:38 How lovely how moved you are reading about the history of these homes. Your passion shines through!
I just ❤❤❤ this show so much. Your enthusiasm and passion is contagious. I love hearing how excited the property owners are as well. I think this was my favorite episode. The passion James has and his plans for planting 950 trees! Amazing. Love the elephant hedge. Kudos to he and his family for taking such good care of the property.
Brilliant Julie Just Brilliant!!! All of the Montegue connections even further back in time than you knew about. How exiting to find more family history for you & Luke & really your whole family!!! Such a wonderful tour…we all feel like we are right there with you every step of the way!!! Love all the history, architectural detail & particularly the paintings!!! Artistically I appreciate the artists that paint all the natural details double chins, warts & all…real people just like us!!!❤🎉❤🎉❤😂

Do you & Luke have your own portraits for Mapperton??? Would love to see them???
So cute at the Rose Garden!! Yes, please go back to take a picture of “Julie’s Rose”!! ☀️
An incredible experience. Thank you Julie and your Host.
I would have to say I absolutely love the tours you take us on, but this might very well be my absolute favorite! I agree, it looked like an elaborate movie set. Breathtaking!!!!
So enjoyable and totally fascinating on every level. Rockingham Castle is now on my ‘must see’ hit list 👍
So much character in these paintings, not only the individual it is about but the history etc. love it. Thanks for sharing
Amazing reading of the letter about Hinchingbrooke. What serendipity.
Loved this, what a wonderful history between the families.
What a beautiful castle, the history through the years, amazing. 🤩
What a beautiful castle & home. Julie , you do an amazing job. Well done😊
Beautiful old house full of history!
Julie makes history fun and well worth to know
Wonderful! Would love to see those roses.
Your enthusiasm and genuine love for what you do is so inspiring. My favorite channel!

Wow, thank you!
I love the history and stories of castles❤.
Great video, the work you guys put in creating these videos is fantastic
Julie, you are so cool. You're an aristocrat but you never let your title define your American side. You still like to get your hands dirty, positive attitude to hard work and eager to learn. Always so humbled at your blessings and the history of your adopted home. This is why you're so liked. Anyone of any walk of life can relate to you in some, any or every way.
Tears came to my eyes when listening to Julie read the Hitchenbrook letter. Profoundly emotional, and relatable to many of us, even if our family homes were not historic and palatial properties.
Thank you Julie, This is so interesting and full of history and just love visiting all these historical and very important Castles and/or Manors of England. Love this opportunity to at least get to see them and hear more about them!
Question, am I having Deja vu, or a lot of these visits to historic buildings repeats? I have been watching since the start and I’m sure I have seen a few of these before. 🤔

Yup!! Me too!
Julie, I feel as though we’re getting to listen in on the family secrets! Thanks! From your Chicago girl❤.
Fascinating!!
Bonjour Julie
I absolutely love, love, loved this!
The elephant hedges are just WOW!!!!! They are so beautiful AND freakish. Thanks for doing this documentary of this beautiful castle, Julie. When I was a little girl in the 1970s in Maine, I was always fascinated with royalty. So many books I had where I would spend hours just dreaming looking at all the real pictures and cartoon pictures. In some of the cartoon depictions of castles, there would be princesses wearing a conical hat with a poof of silk coming out of the end. Oh how I wanted to wear one! No idea if they were English princesses or where they were from, but I loved them.
Such an entertaining tour!! 🏰 ❤
Agree w/ Molly Crawford's comment below! The storytelling in this series is next level and magnificent! Thank you so much!
Absolutely fascinating! I found myself saying "Oh Wow!" outloud. Truly a spectacular presentation. Well done!
It’s beautiful and I enjoyed this episode when I watched it the first time! Please start mentioning if it’s a repost or not 😊
Fantastic loved it so interesting and the family connections make it all so personal and relatable. One of your best thus far Julie
34:21 that medieval keep is the best surprise ever! 🎉
thank you with best wishes
What an amazing amount of content! How this is done in 1 day amazes me! Hats off to all that you and the team have accomplished.
I think this has been my favorite episode. Julie so very knowledgeable on history. Thank you.
Loved this episode, and the family links with the Montagu family
Great show so much history thank you Julie love the show
I loved it, thank you! So interesting!
I love how every host of the castle knows the history of their beautiful home. Julie, if you visit my ancstors home, you would go from teepee to teepee smoking a peace pipe. Lol!
This was wonderful!
thank you Juile beautiful castle Wonderful inerview
Rockingham is beautiful and John Watson is a warm and friendly custodian of his familys rich history. Wondrrful presentation!
What a great eye 👁 on the light bulbs 💡
These are delightful. Please tour Asthall Manor one day. That would be fascinating!
After watching this episode the name Rockingham reminded me of Wentworth Woodhouse being of some connection. Now owned by WW Trust and under a great renovation especially The Lady Rockingham Tea House. Well worth a visit and needs to be seen what a wonderful job they are doing to save this beautiful building.
😊 they certainly put you to work, there, Ms Julie!!! Lol
You should make coloring books for people to read, learn and color. I would 100% buy all of them! With all this castle theme and history. I thought of it looking at the guide book that you showed
Good eye 👁 Julie checking the light bulbs 💡in the library 📚 you noticed the decorative candlestick lights on the fireplace mantel were not on 💡 💡 You are a Pro !!! 😊
when you were talking to the Gardner. about the roses.
Fabulous video! Thankyou for representing Americans in a positive light. I’ve learned so much and this is one of my favorite KZread channels. Thank you❤️
the house is gorgeous but very person in that house seems so terribly sweet and nice, they make it even better.
Very cool. Thank you
Isn’t this an old video??
I love your videos @americanvicountess It’s fascinating and I can see why you’ve fallen in love with England and its history! And even all those years ago how America and England have had intertwined❤
I known more knowledges about this stunning palace. Thanks
shout out from chicago- you go girl!
I just love the accidental genealogy. This is such a fun part of integrating into your marriage family.
I thought it seemed like the castle at Edinburgh ❤
Just amazing history 😱💞
Som intresting old castle nad garden
Notice the Venetian chandeliers in the gallery
While I enjoy all of your videos, Julie, this one is especially engaging. Lovely gentleman owner as well. Enjoyed it.
America is so young we don’t have the history like Europe does!
Each episode is better and better, but the question that keeps coming to my mind is why you haven't visited Highclere Castle yet.
Hello Julie I watch more and more of your vlogs! in this video there was a sentence painted on on of the beams in the great hall. please could you share what the sentence painted on the beams with me ???
You should figure out how to buy back Hinchingbrooke. Then use it for something spectacular. (Not that a school isn't spectacular but...)
Love the rose garden. My husband proposed to me in our city Rose Garden. 55 years ago.I had no ides a rose garden was connected to romance 💘❤️🇨🇦❤️
it called soil sickness. or replant disease, if the plant is planted in the same spot repeatedly , it can deplete the soils nutrients.
Take a look at timeline 31:20 - the over view of the castle, and on the left hand side, is the image of a frog, face - belly - and skinny little legs .... hahaha how funny
Anyone know who the artist or what the track is of that beautiful celtic fiddle at 2:01 ?
What is your cute little car?
Well I don’t think the King built it did he ? Peasants did .
I wonder why the content is made up of reruns or rather reissues of past episodes. Is there a reason?
I want to know where the British aristocracy get their banners of arms these days. It' not like you can go to M&S for a flag.
I discovered you by the Italy house makeover. I’m not a fan of these old castles and their associated monarchy. These old ruling systems are a blight on our planet.

While I agree with you that royalty did unconscionable things, and their lives were kill or be killed, the architecture and durability is breathtaking. The two should be completely separate.

Yes, let’s turn away from the cabal and their ritual atrocities and admire the woodwork.
