She was badly used by certain people, Ask the Bainbridge family? Their is nothing glamorous about shepherding its a hard life. I can vouch for that, nothing romantic
How lovely to see the transformation , that someone is living there and enjoying the beautiful surroundings, I’m sure Hanna is still wandering down the lane with one of her beloved dogs , she had such a strong spirit she will always remain . The haunting music was perfect and evoked such a feeling of her .
Hannah's spirit is there, watching over her beloved hill farm she called home. A true lady of Yorkshire. It was hers like it will never be anybody's else's. God bless you Hannah. Sleep peacefully among you're meadow..❤
its still there right now absolute disgrace saw 2 boys getting soaked tho they were having time of their life aha 2 cars broke down and 4 people died because of this flood though tony its sad
Wheñ you see England now,you could cry,hannah represented the spirit and soul of the English people, i hope they rediscover their great national heritage. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Absolutely loved Hannah, She was the soul of a bygone humanity that is forever forgotten. When I was a young man watching this woman working so hard during those cruel blizzards I wanted to move in with her just to help her during those winters, bless her soul.
Great to see it went to a trust. But also sad that Hannah has gone from 'her land of life'. Remembering the hard work she single handedly put into that farm in the harsh winters, and the love she had for her home and animals. Such a wonderful human. Hopefully her soul and spirit still walk those meadows that she was raised on. Lets hope that those who live there now respect it's 'personal' history and the 'great lady' who once owned it. R.I.P Miss Hannah Hauxwell.
Big place that Yorkshire ( that place is now in County Durham, btw ) - but please go to Wensleydale, Malhamdale and the small town of Grassington, set amidst the beauty of Wharfedale to get a softer, greener and more picturesque view. For 'toughness' go above the town of Grassington itself, to look at the extensive Lead Mine workings on the Moor. But take care - therin Danger lurks for the unwary.
Glad to see lovely wild flowers growing, we need more places like this and not building all these stupid houses everywhere, the human population should be controlled
I found the whole thing very sad. I'm in two minds - Yes its fascinating to see someone live out an old-fashioned life, and the hardship, and perhaps the attention was a good thing, and help, and maybe moving added years to her life - but another part of me was saddened that she sometimes looked like an innocent test subject, a fading relic, an exhibit to gawp at - and I can't help but feel she was pressured to leave her home place, I'm sure with the kindest of intentions, but coaxed to leave none the less, watching her say goodbye to her cattle, and looking on as her life's belongings were being auctioned from under her, was heartbreaking, and made me very uncomfortable... cameras there for 'my' benefit watching an old womans life been taken from her. Could I be as bold to say she might have died happily up on that farm?? I don't know, I just think some things are best left alone..... It reminds me of in the early 1980s I was with my Granda's brother, when on the telly came a 'first contact' with a tribe who had never seen white people or the modern world beore, and among all the "isn't this amazing" of everyone, my grand uncle sadly said "Thats them f*****d now, we'll see them in Coca Cola T shirts next week" and he was right, their lives were irreversibly changed forever, if they are even still around at all.......
Having watched the second documentary about her life, “A Winter Too Many” I wouldn’t have been surprised had she died on the hillside in the next winter. Instead she lived another 29 years in her house in the village. She travelled across Europe and to the USA. She made several more documentaries about her travels beyond the Dales. I think she enjoyed the final third of her life. She was only five miles from her family home and I have no doubt she returned occasionally in the summers to walk by the water. It is all very well being romantic about old-fashioned ways of life, but there is little romance in a snow drift and a frozen well.
Aye, they might have found her one morning, in her farmhouse- but only in her sixties ( she did live on, hopefully happily, for until her nineties ) - just 'gone for her Big Sleep' . She had to move on to pastures new to do more than just survive - no pony, pushbike or donkey to get anywhere, and sharing her house with mice and even the occasional bigger rodent. She had her doggie, but no pussycat.
What a innocent soul she was , I remember watching the documentary many years ago and like many people was moved to tears by the humility and kindness of this woman. When you see people today , their quick speech , gossiping , critical restless minds , never happy , never content , and you see a person like Hannah Hauxwell , even royalty were respectful in her presence, that level of purity demands it .
@@241457922 I realise the trust is maintaining the meadows of the farm so was the house not included in this and if not is the house now under private ownership ????
@@td6369 Hi, Hannah's original farm house has been renovated and is privately owned by a sheep farmer and his family. You can still walk passed the farm on a public footpath so long as you respect the privacy of the present owners.
Lovely woman who loved her land...so disappointed to see her very very small monument in the cemetery...really an insult. To a woman who cared for land so many people prospered from...so sad...she deserves much better dont you think?
Oh Hannah dear lass every time is see a video on your life i am driven to tears ,i will never forget those winter scenes of pure hell on earth no heat no light no running water and worst of all no one in the council giving a shit about you ,God love you dear Lady i pray you are with God in great comfort in heaven,Rest in peace dear Lady.PD.
What's the council got to do with it? Hannah was fiercely independent and not unhappy with her way of life. She had neighbours who helped her out with shopping etc. I grew up her to where she lived and we didn't have heating. Carrying hay into the fields in snowstorms was quite normal!!! Doubt that I could cope with it now though.
And Hannahs resting place, im so glad you didn't show it as this so sad enough (45 year old male) ....yes god bless Hannah and all like her xx Loverly music
Fabulous photographs/"Lark Ascending"by Vaughn Williams(my favourite classical music piece)+Hannah Hauxwell/Low Birk Hatt Farm-forever beautiful and blessed for all time.xxx
I hope her cows were looked after ? And there should be a plaque on her farm house ? A beautiful and an amazing lady with inner strength that we all could learn from .
So I'm wondering who got the money from the sale of Ms. Hanna's home ? I would have loved to have been able to have met this true hard working lady .She should be an inspiration to all she is to me when I think about there's something I can't do I always think about this Lady & then I know I can do anything I set my mind to .
@@jackyblue67same10 she did move into a cottage in a nearby village and there were follow up documentaries of her travelling abroad, she did a lot of travelling in later years
