What Was It Like To Live In 17th Century Britain? | Tales From The Green Valley | Retold

Has anyone made a series like this for pre-Colombus indigenous American groups? I feel like that would be interesting.

loved this thanks

I remember seeing all these things done when I would go on holidays to the north of Spain in the 60,s and 70,s...when I told my mum, 90.that I was seeing these things from so long ago in England she laughed, I even remember the animals living in the houses, half the house would be just for the animals, and the heat of the cows would heat the rest of the house, the toilet in some houses would go directly into the cows part of the house... It didn, t stink.. The pigs were outside, it just smelt of sweet grass. In the 80, s they started to make sheds outside for all the animals. They would cook on open fires with big chimneys, there they would dry the hams and chorizos, the rest of the meat was salted apart of the meat that would be eaten in different ways the first week after the killing... And they used o en to work the fields until the 80,s when they started to use tractors.. Galicia is a Celtic part of Spain. N, w.

Truly appreciate the care they show for their work animals, as well as their food animals. How farming and butchering should be done. Up close and personal.

Y’all make me feel like I should be doing chores!

I love shows like this but I’m much too irritable to live in the 17th century 😬

So nice seeing a video with actual European people in it. No diversity hires.

One of the dads in my boy scout troop was a lost cooking techniques expert.
He air fryed a turkey before air fryers were a thing.
He had 3 foot metal stakes with wire baskets on the top, and they were arranged in a circle in a pit, with a turkey hanging from a tripod in the center that was basted with butter regularly.
Hot coals were put in the baskets and kept full all day and over the course of 10 hours the turkey was cooked crispy on the outside like it was deepfried.
We also did a lot of spit cooking and dutch ovens.
Actual wood fire makes for such a great flavor on pretty much everything.

I would love to be a member of a reenactment. A history nerd like me learning about history itself by living like our ancestors in real-life is super interesting.

II bingrdd watchef this series and loved every minute of it

Who takes over the farm once they leave?

Great documentary ; thank you . I really enjoyed it .

I would love to find out how much time they actually spent on the farm (i.e. all day for a year or every week day, or just a few filming days a month), if they had any outside help not filmed, where they slept, if they got to use technology and eat modern food when not filming, etc. Im sure they did not all give up a daily cuppa

Anyone else lol every time they described a bundle of firewood?

This was absolutely fantastic. Proving that research is always best proven by putting it into practice. Very well done and very well received.

I love every series they are in , but my favorite is the war time series !

Fantastic show

Omggggggg this is wonderful

I will never understand why they did Stuart England and Early Tudor England, two periods separated by 100+ years, then skipped 260 years to do two periods separated (technically) by zero years. Maybe it's a British thing. Is there a phobia about the Georgian period? The shame is that the Georgian period is the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, James Watt died almost two decades before Victoria sat the throne. By the Victorian Era the Industrial Revolution is at full steam (hehe), we get no sense of transition. From the standpoint of techniques, we go straight from late medieval to industrial farming. Maybe they just didn't want to deal with Enclosure.
