A Rich Man's Poor Foot | Tall Tales from History #7 

Mrs. Crocombe's great great great great great great grandmother looks and sounds just like her. She should be proud that her lineage is no longer cutting wood but is now a fine cook at a marvelous, extravagant estate.

"For this tale you will need..."

Kathy Hipperson is such a great talent! I adore her most as Mrs Avis Crocombe but she is always excellent in every character she portrays. 👍

Cooking, storytelling, laying a fire..... There is nothing Kathy Hipperson cannot do! 😊❤️

When she's not the cook she's the story teller. (Amazing story by the way.)

Kathy Hipperson is such a talent. English Heritage is truly blessed having her.

What a lovely story! So much fun to listen to these old tales.

I love this, but I can't help myself. So this is what Mrs. Crocombe does on her off day.

Kathy Hipperson should have a role on The Crown.

She has great story telling skills. It caught my attention right away.

A wonderful tale for a winter's afternoon. Thanks for sharing!

Can she please be put into Julian Fellows Movie? She’s classically trained, obviously, and would be excellent in anything he writes.

Thank goodness Kathy ended the story with the same number of fingers as she started. I had my doubts throughout.

Ahhh!!! Mrs Crocombe's ancient relative...you tell stories amazingly well!!! Thank you!!🤗🙂🇨🇦

Did she just say “what you need” 🤣🤣 (4:10)

Would I like to listen to a story?? Why, yes, I would! And a delightful one it was!

I wish we could hear her stories everyday :) She's such a talent woman :)

another wonderful upload. We covered apothecatheries, and the quack doctors in a medicine topic. history is truly amazing

I just love this channel so much, and yes, I'm here for another story. 😁

Why, Miss Crocombe, you are multi-talented.

she (Ms. Hipperson) is just so great.

ooh this was just so beautiful !!

I do so enjoy these stories you bring us. Thank you English Heritage and of the wonderful folks who proform them. Thank you Katherine for this one.

I love these stories. Actually I love anything English Heritage!

Thank you Kathy enjoyed that almost as much as I enjoy Mrs Crocombe's cooking videos

A great story! Thank you very much! Already looking forward to another one! My children are already grown, but I have never missed a story 🙂

I came for a *turbot* but stayed for a story. 🐟

I looooove those stories and tales! Thank You!!!!!❤🤣🤦‍♀️❤❤❤🙏👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Very wise indeed. Love this story.

Why yes, I have come for another story, you gorgeous & talented woman. 🤩

Nice story. Even nicer to see that the story teller had the same number of fngers at the end of the story that she had when she started the story. Maybe on the next story she''ll use a batton stick as she splits kindling. Respectfully, W.S.

Thank you for the story .

Love Kathy no matter what character she plays! Enjoyed this immensely.

Love the subtle change of accent from the South West to the South East. Great story 🤩

Thank you for the wonderful story

I am off English heritage (my dad is from London area) so i love these videos. Until i can manage to get over there and see the sights. :)

I love Kathy so much! 😊

Wonderful story telling

Haha i really liked this story! I love mrs. crocumbe (i know it’s not her, just whoever plays her)

Good moral to the story

Mrs. Crocombe is literally glowing!!!

These are lovely, and so well told! Saving this to have the children listen, too!

Happy new year Mrs DefinitelyNotAvis! 💛

I love listening to these stories. Best bed time stories as well

Thank you so much for the tale ❤️🌺You made my day and saved me from depression ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️God bless you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌺🌺🌺🌺

This channel gets better and better with every heart beat I love it 🥰

I am just a huge fan of Kathy♡♡♡♡♡

I wonder if we can sneak a picture (manuscript illustration? Victorian Gothic fantasy?) of this impression into Mrs Crocombe's kitchen. Years ago I knew a lady who did Victorian era reenactments and at an event she had been photographed in appropriate clothing using a Victorian camera. The reenactor gave the photo to her mother and a family friend seeing the 'Victorian' photograph hanging on the wall commented to the mother how strange genetics could be that this ancestor of 100+ years ago looks exactly like your daughter. The mother apparently decided not to enlighten the friend.😀

An enchanting breath of fresh air

Mrs. Crocombe, you are great.

She is the BEST!! LOVE. HER!!

Love, love, loved this one. More please!

Delightful !!! I thought I recognised her !!

Mrs. Crocombe whacks with that hatchet like the pro that she is. Even when she isn't in her century.

Very inspiring story that despite not having what she wanted the wife stood by her husband's torment and became patient until he was healed by someone who expects nothing in return. The moral of the story is very inspiring maybe we are only looking but not really seeing.

I guess I have to set aside some time to binge-watch these

Awesome and engrossing narration

This does the heart n soul good.

….🌀This Was Quite Lovely ~ Thanks🌀….

She is every where! Lucky us.

It's just a matter if time until Kathy gets cast in period dramas! I'm surprised she wasn't ever cast on Downtown Abbey!

Very entertaining

..WonderfuL moral, HappY New Year!!! ❤️

Nice Story!

It's 10 p.m. here ... nice bedtime story :D Now I've 6 more to watch ...

Love you Kathy....!😍

Funny story. Thanks.

i wish i could buy 3 new outfits with a pound

This tale is as true now as it was then: simple solutions are not always the most obvious.

Good story.🙂

Wonderful 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Nice story but you were making me a little nervous using that hatchet. 😊❤️

Nailed it.

m y only complaint is that it ended :( i could listen to that all day

1:23 Thought she was going to chop off her finger there for a minute! Good grief!

Love this

very interesting

Good Story' 😇😇

I hope there's another Downton Abbey movie - and that you're in it

For this cure you will need......said the wise woman.

If anyone knows that now by chance two women are using a poultice of wine, onion, garlic, oax bile, and a copper pot to fight Staph, even the Mercer strain, because the new strains are too resistant to the different molds. Then you'll find this even more a true story ever told.

Plot twist- The rich man later died of tetanus brought on from stepping on the old nail🤭

Yay!

❤❤❤

Took care of the husband *and* the wife! Definitely a wise woman!

Cool

This is kind of cute!!

👀 Cast my horoscope?! 😯 Mercury retrograde!

Ako lang ba ang pilipino dito? Marites din tong great geat great grandma ni mrs. Crocombe. 😀

😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Nice Aura 😂👏

The moral is - seek the advice of a wise woman.

Mrs. Crocombe sure fell on some hardde tymes

How do you not notice a nail in your foot

Healthcare's always been expensive I guess

The Wise Woman!? Two things must ye know about the wise woman, my Lord...

What's the difference between a rich man and a poor man? His wife.

Speaking of clothes, why are there buttons on her caplet- It seems a little early for buttons.

👏👏👏👏👏😊🌹👍
