The dates provided with the clockmaker were the dates he was active in business. That’s a remarkable collection- very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

I love love love the sound of a grandfather clock or any sort of clock that chimes and ticks away , helps me sleep

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the clocks!!! Thank you for doing this video!

Love the clocks!!! 😥👍

My favourite English KZread channel is back with another video! So excited about this!

As a left hander, I appreciate the 'correct' winding mechanism of the last clock.

Hello from Everett Washington

Hello, Julie.. Waiting patiently for you from Florida ☀️

Henry Clay Work( an american composer) wrote My Grandfathers Clock in 1876. Before that they were known as long case clocks. The song was an international hit. The Grandfather clock was born.

Looking forward to this Julie ❤️⏰

This is absolutely adorable (tick tock) Julie you are a treasure.

Greetings from sunny San Francisco

So beautiful ❤️! My parents have a small one and I just love it! I wish they had a full-size one! I love the chimes! Thank you for sharing!

So comforting :D

Wonderful! Love all the clocks, watching you wind them up, Julie. Did we get to exactly how many clocks total are at Mapperton?

The clocks are beautiful. The first grandfather clock reminds me very much of the one at my Dad's house and the one we had growing up. He watched the video and said the dates on the inside of the clock, '1750-1785', means the clockmaker built clocks during that time , not that it took that long to make 😊

Your Dad is 100 % Correct

Gosh, I could easily have watched an hour of this. Fascinating!

I so envy your adventures!

Excellent.

Wonderful Love the chimes!

Imagine how much that grandfather clock must have cost back then. Wholly cow!

My parents and grandparents always told me that Grandmother clocks were the smaller version, and that Grandfather clocks were larger (essentially the same clocks, just different sizes).

This is very true grandmother clocks are usually skinnier and not above 5 feet grandfather clocks are usually wider and are right above 6 feet or higher.

The détails, I love seeing that part of Life in thèse videos.

You literally had....time on your hands !

Could the dates in the grandfather clock been dates for William Allen, the clockmaker -- his birth/death dates? or dates when he was making clocks? Just a guess.

Thank goodness it doesn’t have to be wound more than once a week!

So cool

beautiful 😍

Wonderful! Thankyou Julie for these tours.

You are so welcome!

First, My Grandfather's Clock, a popular American song from the late 1870s, is the origin of the name. I guess the British liked the sound of it better than longcase or floor clock and adopted it also. Second, unless I missed something, there were only three clocks shown of which 66% were grandfather clocks. Were there more clocks I missed? If not, I don't understand the title claiming there are clocks galore or implying it's a big job to wind them all. You wind the first two within about five minutes of each other and the big one about 20 minutes later.

I received a family clock in the winter but since the move across a few states I have yet to been able to keep it running. I have tried leveling the clock and did some basic fiddling with the innards but no luck so far…

When o when will these clocks be called by their proper name LONGCASE CLOCK. invented in England in the 17th century The slang term Grandfather came from the American song by Henry Work [ My Grandfathers Clock ] written in 1876.

Who was the person that lived above the clock and why?

And how and when do you change the time like the U.S. will do this weekend - an hour forward - can you just move the hands or is there a sequence to it?

Did I miss it? How many clocks are there?

A mere 3 though there’s obviously a lot more than that.
