1. The richness of the colors of their clothes is glorious! How are those colors achieved?
2. 18:25 I don't like stones in the bottoms of my hoes either.
3. I wish a show like this was in American. I would love to see what life was like for the pioneers or early settlers.
4. Saint Isiodore is a patron saint of farmers today but would not be canonized till 1608 so a Tudor farmer would not have heard of him. Saint Anthony/Antony would have been another possibility as he was patron saint of pig farmers.
5. One slight "error": The fields between the wooden beams in their Tudor house ARE filled with wattle and daub, BUT it would have one more ingredient AND it would be made differently:
   
   1. you take a "stick" and then create a mixture of straw and clay/dung and wind that around the stick so it becomes THICK.
   2. you take that thick stick and put it into one of the fields into grooves cut into opposing beams.
   3. after that you have a "wavy" surface and this gets filled up by another layer of clay/dung/straw as a plaster.
   
   The reason to add straw is to add tensile strength so you can make the wall THICK for insulation. If you would just use the method shown here the layer of clay/dung would be far too thick on either side OR you could only create a thin wall. The straw basically has the same function as the iron mesh in modern day concrete buildings.
6. Shhhh! Tom.... Peter has already built a pig enclosure before...
7. Anybody know why Alex isn't on the show? My google-fu skills have failed me and I can't find a direct answer.
8. The church sucks.
9. Thank you o much for loading these fascinating shows 👏🏼🌹
10. is there a book showing all these skills? I'd love one..
11. i adore peter. hes just too cute
12. It's funny, because the others series (Green Valley, Victorian and Edwardian Farms) are all later in history but somehow the buildings and the house seemed less advanced. The main difference I see is in the tools.
13. God that Hutton guy is creepy.
14. Without Alex who's going to bully Peter into being a coat stand and laugh at him when he's struggling with the unknown equipment?
15. Very intriguing I find. So educational to learn about the life of the tudor England farmer.
16. Charles Martel? Any relation to the French king?
17. 'it's that easy!'..with making rush wicks....heehee
18. if everyone drank beer all day every day back then wouldn't they have been extremely dehydrated?
19. The main role of the monasteries was for the religion to thoroughly exploit as many people as possible. A role shortly to be taken over by the monarchy.
20. Awesome video. Thankyou
