Inside the Secret Places at our Manor House!

Показать описание
Quackers was a much-loved pet Indian Runner Duck who lived at Mapperton in West Dorset, England.

Unfortunately a visitor to the historic house and gardens let her dog off the lead, and the dog attacked Quackers. The dog owner then retrieved the injured duck and wrung its neck before throwing the dead Quackers into the long grass.

The story of Quackers has touched hearts across the nation, following news articles in several national newspapers and the BBC.

We have therefore set up the Quackers Memorial Pond Fund to celebrate the life of our beloved Indian Runner duck.

The funds raised will be spent on the creation of a new pond which will attract wild ducks and other wetland species to Mapperton.

We will also plant trees, shrubs and aquatic plants in the pond, alongside a plaque to commemorate Quackers. In this way, we hope that her legacy will be the creation of a new wetland habitat which will provide a refuge for wild ducks and other wildlife for decades to come.

Please note that the more funds we raise, the larger the pond will be, and the greater the benefit will be for ducks and wetland wildlife.

From beanies to hoodies to iPhone cases - over 30 Mapperton branded products!

Curated by Mapperton’s very own American Viscountess, Julie Montagu, the "American Heiress" collection is comprised of more than 10,000 previously unseen letters exchanged between Alberta (Sturges) Montagu and her family, as well as the peerage at large.

Dating from 1888 to 1951, these letters constitute the largest unpublished private collection of correspondence from the period. They offer a remarkable glimpse into the life of a "dollar bride" during the Gilded Age, shedding light on both triumphs and struggles.

The exhibition takes innovation to the next level by introducing Alberta AI, a ground-breaking creation that brings her story to life like never before.

A man who shamelessly flirts with his in front of the camera is a keeper.😊

Nestor with his grandmother is too sweet. And I never knew a dovecote was actually for doves. I thought it was just an architectural term. Thanks for saving me the research Mapperton! 😉

I can not imagine living in a home so big, that even after 20 years I do not know every square inch.

I can’t believe you have lived there for 20 years and not explored the house and the grounds. Every thunder storm I would grab my flashlight and would be gone. Lol

I love how she's embraced her life across the pond and what's she's married into ... I also love that his parents have passed the torch so to speak and how these videos and channels are aiding in keeping the beauty and the overall appeal of the estate and it's grounds alive ... being here in the states we don't have this kind of history and tbh I'm truly envious of her but so happy for her at the same time, these two are such a wonderful couple together and not only are they but their children are all so very grounded ... speaks volumes on their characters. ❤

I dont mind the lovely banter. I know those who have shown their disappointment and lectured Julie to treat her husband more kindly could and should just scroll past. One isnt required to watch OR even comment. I thoroughly enjoyed this segment and loved the hidden areas. 😊

Thanks Julie and Luke for a fascinating video.. I love exploring hidden places.
I don't know whether it was William or Nestor with the Countess of Sandwich, but what a well mannered and well spoken young man . He is a credit to you !

Living in a place that has secret nooks and crannies is like playing a mystery game in real life 😂❤

Marauder is an American word too, but kind of old fashioned. I have a feeling I learned it in the Nancy Drew books :) I am loving this content. If it is a rerun that's fine w me, as you can't have too much of a good thing, which is anything Mapperton. I adore Luke and Julie's banter, as it comes from a loving place.
