Still, great documentaries, very educational and entertaining. Once you've started watching a single episode out of curiosity you won't be able to put the entire series down until you've watched it fully.... two or three times in a row, after which you start another series by the same guys and watch that one till the end, too... and so on. When I first discovered these documentaries an year ago (youtube had recommended Secrets of the Castle out of the blue and I clicked on it out of curiosity) I completely watched ALL of the documentaries for a whole week. Haven't done anything else at that time (not even showering, or taking out the trash lol) but sleep, eat, and watch while staying glued to the screen so I could take in every single detail. That addictive these documentaries are :)

Ruths amazing, she must have such a fulfilled life

I'm here after some kind person posted a list of all the shows in this series on Tudor Monastery Farm. The picture quality is noticeably worse but there's the same wonderful energy and spirit of exploration. As a person of British descent this is a fascinating glimpse into my past.

I love these and all the others they have done. I watch them yearly, trying to watch the episodes to coincide with the month I am at present. I always see something I did not before and always get great inspiration of ideas to apply to my days as much as I can. I love this time period. In Joy

I'm a history and language geek. Fascinating to learn where common expressions come from.

I am so happy to find this. I feel like Ruth, Peter and Alex are friends, after watching some of their other series'. So, I can revisit them once more in this series. My ancestors came to the American continent just after this time, from England. They came from St. Alban's, which I am told is not too far from Wales, so I am excited to watch this and imagine how a young couple set out on a sea voyage with a small child and a baby, to go to a new land hoping for a better life.

Very old Oxen.. Almost too old.

One of the most valuable lessons in these stories is helping viewers to understand how very hard life was then and what a struggle it was just to accomplish each basic necessity. For instance, in watching them plow, it occurs to me they walked all day long, both the men and the oxen. And they had to do that until all the fields were plowed. Can you imagine doing that? I'm sure they took breaks but, even so, to keep walking and walking. But it had to be done and in just a few days. It's a real wake-up call for all those revisionists who are so eager to look down their noses at our forefathers.

I am absolutely loving it!!!

I think I have watched nearly every series with Ruth have been in. I’ve really enjoyed the farming series. If I were 30 years younger I’d would have liked to have a crack at some of these. I have a farm background and some of the methods used in the process are very similar to what I saw growing up. My great grandfather and my grandfather did things very similar to this since they were both born in the 19th century. I mostly wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed the programs.

Oct.25 22 .I just found this series a day or so ago, and love it. Though life then was way harder than today. I wonder if it was also way more rewarding. For sure it was all in ones hands if you lived or starved. the market was never farther away than the garden smoke house and larder. Knowing everything you ate was made possible by ones hard work must of made a good meal taste all the better. I once wanted to take the east to west trip as settlers did. To California or Oregon. With a wagon Ox and horse in tow. I never went past the planning phase and knew there would needs be many OKs given to cross fenced lands. But imagining the idea of getting the supplies. Perhaps building a team of experts such as they did here. Then making the trip on one of the still known and exposed trails across the plains and over the mountains before winter snows blocked the passes. Seems the camera got into the Ale in this video. A bit Catty wompuss at times . Still a great video

While an Acre was supposed to be plowable in 1 day (As a chord could be cut, split, and stacked) that was by a professional plowman, who did it for a living, for the entire community.

Agree. There has never been an explanation of "Fonz". Personally, I find it totally asinine. Might as well dub Alex Eeyore.

I prefer Peter over "Fonz" also. Why doesn't he use that nickname in the other historical farming series?

@@mctavish199 it's obviously a reference to Fonzie from Happy Days. And I can see why. Although I agree it feels a bit jarring if you've seen the other series first

this is amazing, how come i've never seen this before?

You also needed to be respectful of the local traditions and a person of that historical culture would NEVER on pain of death take down any part of a Hawthorn tree for respect for the faeries 🧚 That’s why that Hawthorn is still there! Respect the faeries!

Thank you.

love this and subsequent series

Horses are proud animals. If you treat them with respect, they will work with you.

Most of us would. Personally, I had my appendix removed than I was 21, in the 17th century appendicitus meant death in 90% of cases.

Death is to make room for new life. When there are too many agents in species, there is always a shortage of resources. Grocery stores and drugs keep people fat and sick. Death cures that.
