Where did you mention the part where Bess turned Elizabeth against Mary?

Hardwick Hall: More Glass than Wall! I learned that from Lucy W. 🥰

Seems like this is more about the house than the woman herself

What has this video got to do with the woman who turned Elizabeth I against her half sister Mary Tudor? All I see is about the different estates there in England.

I think they were referring to the queen of Scott’s

Thank you for this wonderful video such a fascinating time period ! 👑

My husband and I had the luxury of staying in Cowdenknowes Tower in Scotland last year, where Mary Queen of Scots slept in 1566 on her way to Jedburgh. I never knew anything about her until I sat in the tower and read a book on her life. So fascinating!

I believe that Arabella Stuart’s father was the grandson of Henry VIII’s sister not the grandson of Henry VIII. Thank you for the video. I enjoyed it a great deal!!

14:18 Henry the eighth didn't have any grandchildren?

Excellent show !

also, as a glassmaker who can cold warm and hot work glass, the amount of painstakingly precise leading involved in those windows is staggering. the masonry is impressive enough, but all those squares of clear, perfectly laid up in diamond pattern.... the precision of that is just breathtaking.

This was totally clickbait! It did not talk about how Bess turned Elizabeth against Mary at all. Disappointing.

It's pretty #ClickBaity........That Headline.......not false, persay. Just CLICKBAIT!!!!#Knobs!!😜

Very informative and interesting Thank you

0:25 "Whot, the curtains?"

Magnificent house. ❤

bbc took tim taylor and mick astons 3 day archaeology dig format for a tv show and applied it to quite a few different types of shows, including a gardening show alan here hosted. i loved it as a kid. great to see he hosted this sort of stuff as well.

Thank goodness for glass

19:00 No. They would NOT have "shared" the flour. Whatever grains came from Bess' fields, were turned into flour for Bess' house. Anyone else would need to grow their own grains, harvest them, thresh them, separate the chaff, and bring their grain to the mill, pay for the milling, and only then would a poorer person who lived near the Hardwick estate have their own flour to bake with. Bess would NEVER have just given her grain or flour away to the lower classes......at least not for free!!!! Go watch the "Tudor Farm" series and you will see exactly how Tudor Era people ACTUALLY lived and made ends meet.....

Good eye on that, I'm interested in "actual " history, I'll see if I can find any truth to what your explaining!

Of course the flour would have been shared. The workers would have taken their grain to Bess' mill and "shared" a portion of the milled wheat as a fee for the milling - not the other way around.

@@stanlygirl5951 That's what I was saying. The documentary was saying that Bess and anyone else using the mill would share grains/flour.

@@0hMyLife your right, cuz they would still, whether it's sharing their harvest, or money, they're still "paying" for the use of her mill, so it's really not Free, as much as she seemed to help a lot of ppl, she had to be tough about her finances to do so, and her business was grain and flour milling

also millstones only last for about 50 years at most, and thats if theyre extremely well maintained. its exceptionally doubtful the stones doing the grinding now are the ones that fed Bess.

I would have totally guessed that building was built in like 1900.

With all that glass in the 16th c, one would think that house would have either been very cold, in winter, very hot in the summer; or had many fireplaces within, or very cool and comfortable in the temperamental summer. One would also imagine that w/ the wet rush matting that it, would over time WARP the wooden floors underneath. Was this ever a concern that modern conservators have to worry about?

click bait

People still do that who have a lot of money. Just build houses. Even if the will only occupy them for a month a year. It’s like they love having people rushing about working for them.

Too much focus on status too little on history.

Arabella Stuart is on my family tree

hm. I wonder what the skin colour of the builders was.

It was actually planned by Sir Thomas Grey, 1st Marquess of Dorset, but his son, the 2nd Marquess of Dorset, the builder. So white.

Not sure what you think your point is, but considering this was the Elizabethan period before the beginning of the foreign British Empire and that there wasn't a large population of anyone other than Europeans in England at the time, the laborers/builders would have been white.

👎. You guys kept saying she built it but she did not do shit but pay for it
