This time on American Viscountess, I’m visiting the beautiful Elmore Court in Gloucestershire. Elmore Court is a glorious sixteenth century historic house on the edge of the Cotswolds - this site has been home to the Guise family since the thirteenth century. Anselm Guise has a very bold vision for Elmore’s future and is opening the house and estate to visitors in a completely inspiring way. Elmore is literally going back to its roots, or I might say, going wild. Join me as I visit some amazing new tree houses and the rewilding project out on the estate.

Ah I’m playing at a wedding there on Friday!

@thomasoates5294 Год назад

I remember watching him on Country House Rescue, I often wonder how he did after that show & glad to see him make a great success. Equally delighted you choose him and the house on your channel

@derickyyy Год назад

I recognize Elmore Court from Country House Rescue!

@waltercook4868 Год назад

I recognize it too. The custodian really took a tongue lashing from Ruth Watson. Looks like the guy really took stock of his bearings and is doing okay! Good for him!

@patriciasmith9712 Год назад

Yes, I remembered that episode right off and so happy that maturity has blessed this fellow with such good business sense. Well done, and good work Ruth !! that tongue lashing worked......now, there is a gem grown out of it.

@richardxxx8358 Год назад

I must have seen him over at least 10 years in different programs trying to make the house pay for itself.

@jaccirdesign Год назад

Me too!!! Historic House Rescue? With that bossy lady who would direct hapless land owners in making their homes pay. 😂

@seanmcgcostumes Год назад

I remember seeing him on Country House Rescue! So glad to see the house thriving.

@waltercook4868 Год назад

Thank you, Team Julie, for sharing this story. Years ago, I saw the current custodian as a struggling new heir. He has done a great job and thank you for the update. If you get a chance, I'd like to see how Lullingstone Castle and World Garden is doing. The next heir was also struggling to preserve the family pile. A likeable fellow with incredible vision, work ethic and passion for plant life.

My great great grandfather was Alonzo Anselm Ray- English ancestry. Just sharing.

@28105wsking Год назад

Hi Julie,! A great video! I had another idea. In addition to the Mapperton/Devon Fiddler's Contest, I thot it might be fun to rent the Fairytale Cottage as a package deal with a wedding at Mapperton. It could be a Honeymoon Cottage! What do you think? I was also thinking that if you have a wide hillside for people to sit on, you might have a natural amphitheater where you could have classical music orchestras performing on summer evenings, or present Greek and Shakespearean plays? You'd need bathrooms, parking, a sound system up the hill, and a nearby tent for drinks and snacks/ or emergency service in case of accidents. And you would get a nicer crowd than you would have with a Woodstock Festival situation. And what about First Saturday concerts at Mapperton for wind or string quartets, Madrigal group from Oxford, etc. every month?

@debbietaylor5579 Год назад

So interesting and educational. I live in an area in New York where we cannot stop our town counsel from approving developers who are taking away our wetlands and encroaching on the wildlife. It makes me so mad!!! Thank you for sharing these videos.

@Carey86 Год назад

My township in NJ is the same. It’s so sad and pisses me off soooo much! Plus the houses are typically plastic and poorly made. In our historical town, they allow brand new plastic siding houses & it takes away from the historical look of the town. If I had the money, I’d buy all the land and leave it wild!

@debbietaylor5579 Год назад

@@Carey86 same here. Houses are great big gray boxes, all look the same and not a single tree on the lots.

@28105wsking Год назад

I love the light-colored interior of so many rooms at Elmore Court! Its so bright and airy and welcoming and spacious! It looks fresh and clean. It seems he took a lesson from Martha Stewart color combinations. Very nice! The light walls really let the contents of the rooms stand out and speak for themselves. What a wonderful change from the Country House Rescue days! I really have to say, Well done!

@hsimpson6581 Год назад

I first saw this house on country house rescue. What happened to all the fantastic antiques and the giant dining room table? It’s weird to see it so stripped back as a wedding venue. 😮 but I’m over joyed to know he is a success 🎉

@oCherryPie Год назад

The treehouses look amazing and I love the rewilding vision 🙂

@jonimarchese7655 Год назад

Hi Julie, First I want to make" just be quit and be still" my mantra! I love how preserving the land and rewilding, (just like Julie and Luke are doing.) is so very important and to preserve Elmore court. What makes me so mad as an American, we seem not to care about climate change, not to care about preservation, if there is a buck to be made everything else be damned. I have read so much on the Cotswold's; everyone should be lucky to visit. This was such a great learning curve, thank you so much for introducing us to Anslem and all his good work. Love from N.Y.

Well done Julie with the 12 historic houses. I dont know why Ansem did not know who first built the house. I do love his idea of tree houses, they are luxurious but simple, elegant. Ansem is very passionate in all he does with Elmore Court.

@beverlysnow9315 Год назад

The house looks as though it was built in various eras and styles, therefore by multiple ancestors.

@nica900 Год назад

this makes me feel so much better about my own rewilding project in my urban NZ backyard lol - it's always been organic but every time I have to show it to people and say, I haven't been gardening it lately... But it's long been full of birds, butterflies, bees and every other creature that sees an opportunity, and the natives just self seed and that brings in the native birds. They all know where to find my house in the middle of town.

Hello, I hope you will be able to see and explore Traquair House in Scotland- it's so magical. I stayed the night there and it was fantastic. I also stayed in Thornbury Castle in England Tudor history was incredible . I hope you can tour one of these for your channel. Love what you are doing for people to see that may not be able to travel or maybe give them an idea to come to Britain to check out the wonderful history, I've been 3 times now. And next time I hope to come to Mapperton to see your beautiful estate and to hopefully see my name on the Alberta project plaque. 😀

@28105wsking Год назад

I'd like to suggest another market for the Elmore House tree houses: Tibetan Buddhists and Buddhists in general! We are always looking for quiet, removed places exactly like that where we can do three-month-long meditation retreats, or longer! If the tree houses have kitchens, great! The only problem is groceries. Could Elmore House offer grocery runs to retreatants? We need help with that, because we take vows of place and are not supposed to leave the retreat location. Contact the Tibetan groups in Britain and Scotland. If the cottages are affordable, they will be filled right away! If you have a large room, and sleeping, eating arrangements for a group, you could have meditation retreats for all traditions. Think about this. Its a crowd of good people.

@joannainperth Год назад

I’m not really sure why you think it’s appropriate to comment on a woman’s appearance, especially in such a brash manner. I loved her lipstick color. Seems like this is a you problem you could keep to yourself next time. Try and remember she’s an actual person on the other side of the screen. Would you say that to her in person?

@denicecassell9541 Год назад

@maddiek1980 9 месяцев назад

What a ridiculous thing to say. She can do whatever she wants with her appearance and no one with a brain in their head should ever think it’s necessary or appropriate to dictate how someone else should present themselves. We must stamp out this horrid, ignorant, casual yet deep seated sexism, and the idea that it’s ok to tell people how they must look.
