I really do enjoy all your Mapperton videos. My family, Stockton (Stocktun) originally came from the area of Chester and owned a manor house with the villiage of Malpas. Our family migrated to the US during the Civil War because we support Charles 1. In essence we escaped to America. When Charles II came to power we were asked to come back but my ancestor declined. His son, Richard Stockton, was the signer of the Declaration of Independence for the state of New Jersey. Anyway, our manor house near Malpas has disappeared but when I was in England I was able to visit the beautiful Chapel that is still maintained/preserved. It was quite a hike through fields. Thank you for allowing me to live the aristocratic life through your videos.

Hello Richard Stockton descendent! I live in the town of your ancestors in NJ which boasts a Stockton Street, home to the colonial era historic residence, Morven.

Hi Marjorie thanks for the comment. Last time I saw Morven it was under renovation.

If I only had half of Julie's energy 😂😂😂

Luke and Julie a rewilding podcast would be awesome. My love for Animals knows no bounds. I will definitely be watching from South Africa!! Julie you never talk about your parents or family or your childhood, what created your interest in old buildings. What do your folks think of what you're doing at Mapperton, they must be really proud. Looking forward to your next video 😊 Need another one of your Italian house too 😀

As an American, it’s hilarious to me that the British don’t want to drive an hour for a day trip! We’ve regularly driven day trips that are 3 hours one way. People in my area in commute 2.5 hours one way to jobs in DC. It’s just what you do. All that said, I’d totally drive an hour to visit Mapperton were I fortunate enough to live in an hour’s proximity especially for the opportunity to meet its lovely caretakers.

Very true. Sadly, most of the US infrastructure was built in the post WWII years with an emphasis on rebuilding the economy through shoring up the automotive industry that was instrumental in the war effort. Most of Americans live in the rural and suburban areas that lack sufficient public transportation to get anywhere. Unless you live in NYC or Boston or one of the other large metros that have strong train systems, you are relegated to car travel. It isn’t good for the environment and we are slowly moving toward electric vehicles but that support infrastructure is sorely lacking in most places, too. So, in the US, most people drive…out of necessity. PS…I meant no disrespect to the UK, it is one of my favorite places. I was just pointing out the contrast in habits. 🦋

Huge YES to a rewilding channel!😄🎉🙏👏👏👏❤❤❤

Oh my gosh, Julie you must come and talk @ the Lake Forest History Museum. Alberta’s family home was once on Lake Rd in Lake Forest. The residents would love this Julie. Jen & I live near by & would love meeting you as well. ❤️

Julie I love your turtle neck jumper. Returning the land to it's natural state is a massive task, and absolutely brilliant.

Hobbits - low tech lifestyle humanoids can help revive the wild.

I think one way to support the rewilding project would be to have low cost subscriptions to wildlife cams ❤ And again - best thing that ever happened to this family - the get up and go of this family! Oh yes more cottages please! So more people can come and stay and use your property as a jumping off point ! 🎉 and wedding parties can rent out the whole kit and kaboodle 🎉

It surprised me to learn that people could only marry at church or Registry office until the 90s! So many people are not affiliated with a church but want a pretty venue in which to celebrate their wedding. So nice you can offer this.

I would love a tee with the portrait behind you on it. Could have lettering “Hanging around at Mapperton”. You could make limited editions of art Tees and put out quarterly so we could collect them.

What is better than watching the two of you laughing together? Nothing! Love you both so much! Continued success and many blessings to you and your family.‼️

If it’s going to be doing a lot of raining, find some lovely cozy activity that can only be done in the rain and advertise that: Rainy Day? Come to cozy Mapperton and spend the day.

For a rewilding channel, have this West Dorset group do it on the group, all the participants, what everyone is doing with this wonderful grant. Of course, keep us up to date on Nestor's tortoise, Woody + Twiggy, piggies, ponies, and such on Mapperton.

Is really cold in the house - noting Julie in a woolly jumper and gloves on! Btw it was only in England that the law changed about weddings - in Scotland we've always been able to get married wherever we like!

We are only 37 miles away! Across the border in Somerset!

Sorry a little early down under here, so we missed the live feed, however it is always a great pleasure Luke and Julie to be able to watch your episode(s) as you are always so cheerful and full of energy for the work you do for the community and the Manor. Thank you once again bringing joy and laughter into our lives. Gob bless, take care 👍😇🏰

You two are just dedicatedly adorable!!! Can’t stop watching your channel. Good luck and hope to visit one day!!! From SUNNY Florida😂😂😂.

I would be watching it as I love watching nature videos along with gardens, old houses, but I do enjoy it when you do videos on the outdoors.

Loved you on The Ladies of London! So very happy to have found you here and I am obsessed! Spent 4 years in Woodbridge, England at RAF Bentwaters and have never stopped loving England!!! Still friends with all of our British neighbors !!!! So impressed how you are marketing your astonishing lineage and castle! Wow!!!!

LOVE all the different camera views of the room. Keep it up to keep our interest.

I love your movies and especially visiting the individual areas of restoration. Wishing you many blessings going forward! ❤ I’m here in SW, FL😂 I have visited many beautiful castles and homes in England, which I adore. Yes, the weather is awful unfortunately in England.❤

Luke I for sure would love a rewiilding blog. Bravo on all your achievements. Your a gift !

How lucky you both are to have one another💙❤️

I think you both have been amazing custodians of Mapperton implementing so many different ideas to make an impact on keeping Mapperton alive for future generations. You each have your strengths and abilities to make these ideas become reality. I love every vlog you post and your enthusiasm for every project. You both exude genuine passion for Mapperton . Luke your parents must be so proud of all that you & Julie have achieved especially during some of the world’s most challenging time “The Pandemic “ . Out of that you’ve created a whole new way of spreading the word of Mapperton around the world 🌍 Bravo to you both. You make a remarkable team! Thanks for everything you share. From me in Australia 🇦🇺

I remember Hello magazine from when I lived in Germany for many years! So congratulations to you both for the great ways you are bringing Mapperton to the forefront!🌟❤️🌟

Hi from Durban, South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤

Your rewilding group covering 4000 hectares is tiny compared to some of the Outback cattle stations in Australia which are over 4000 km squared! But well done Luke for starting the group. Our earth needs to have lots of rewilding done to repair the damage we've done to it. Do you have a wildflower meadow in the mix or is that not right for Mapprton's landscape? I love watching Mossy Earth's videos! It's so encouraging to see what is happening to repair landscapes around the world. A rewilding video would be excellent! Julie I love seeing you pop up on historical documentaries I watch! You are so incredibly knowledgeable and your enthusiasm shines through every time! I love watching your videos repairing the house and what's going on! I love history and nature repair as well as architecture so watching you guys being so positive about it all is incredibly encouraging. Thank you! Fiona in Sydney.

Virtual quiz night sounds fun!

Watching here from Pensacola Florida! 👋🏽 I love watching and glad I found you! My grandmother was from Lincolnshire. 😊 I want to come on Holiday to England sometime soon. 😊

I enjoy the videos about the recovery of the environment in Mapperton. They are very informative.

a wedding venue at mapperton must be just gorgeous - and pictures in the gardens would be incredible! you look so cute in your new baseball hats.

I love your jumper today Julie, it really suits you & looks so lovely on you.

Beautiful color on you, Julie!

Yes! I grew up on a cattle ranch in montana. The land gives us so much. It's so good to see someone giving back to it. 💞 Hopefully get more folks interested in doing the same.

A dedicated rewilding channel? Yes, please!

Love an update thank you 😊

The lamp shade is eavesdropping

In Boston we say things like wonky, dodgy, wicked….some of those very British descriptors.

Watching in Cape Town. Love your Italian house updates too.

I've said "wonky" for quite some time now, probably nearly three decades. I may have picked it up from "Changing Rooms" on BBC America, but I don't know. I think part of the joy of an old home is that nothing squares up. The only "old" homes I've lived in were California wood frame homes from the earlier part of the 20th century, but even then nothing was square anymore. Delightful, though. I forget what this Mapperton room is called, but it is absolutely beautiful, and so homey and comfortable looking.

Hello from Wixom Michigan, I’m back home from North Carolina . The wisteria is beautiful and so are your eagles back in their perches.

Finishing this episode. You both are so amazing! I love what you do! 🙂

Watching from Redlands California 🎉

A live look at the house would be worth an hours drive alone. It looks like a movie set. My cousins 600 year old English cottage with a thatch roof attracts the same feeling and comments .from visitors. Luckily her dad updated all the plumbing and wiring when she bought it. This was no mean feet since the walls are six feet thick in some places! I enjoy your different presentations and I will try to drag her to an activity at Mapperton next time I visit her. . I know she will love the history..

I’ve noticed that the word “wonky” has started to be used in the last few years in the states but years ago I never heard the word unless I was listening to a British movie, etc.
