4:01 that's the house designed by Bonomi for George Finch Hatton, heir to Earl of Winchilsea and his wife Lady Elizabeth Murray, Lady Elizabeth previously live with the 1st Black Aristocrat Dido Belle at Kenwood House. 4:06 the Bonomi House was remodelled in 1843 by architect William Burn. he added the weird turret and neo Elizabethan wing in 1870 because of gambling Earl of winchilsea was forced to sell Eastwell, it was tenanted by Prince Alfred (this is where Marie Queen of Romania was born, she described her wonderful childhood here) after Prince Alfred, the property was bought by 2nd Lord Gerard then sold again to Mr osborn i suspect this is when Eastwell Park was renovated so all the house was in neo Elizabethan style and make the facade equal by adding another wing, then it switched ownership and eventually demolished because it's too big and rebuilt in much smaller scale using the old material and i hated them for it. there are picture of Eastwell exterior throughout time but not a single interior picture except description from Queen Marie of Romania. Jane Austen had visited this house and met Lady Elizabeth multiple timesp and Lady Elizabeth son married great niece of Jane Austen through her brother's Edward Austen knight's grand daughter Fanny Rice, she lived here
Great video!! I live in the U.S. but Sir Thomas Moyle of this story was my ancestor! His daughter Amy Moyle, wife of Sir Thomas Kempe of Olantigh, Kent, were the maternal grandparents of Amy Kempe who married Sir Henry Skipwith of Prestwold, Leicestershire. Their daughter Diana Skipwith and her brother Sir Grey Skipwith, 3rd Bt. of Prestwold, were sent to Virginia by their father after 1650 when the family estates were lost due to Cromwell. Diana Skipwith married Edward Dale, Burgess of Lancaster Co.,VA and were ancestors of my maternal grandmother. Other Moyle descendants in the U.S. were Daniel Carroll, signer of the Declaration of Independence and his brother John Carroll, first Catholic Archbishop of Baltimore, and founder of Georgetown University.
Thank you very much, I had read about young Richard along time ago. I really enjoyed the way you portrayed King Richard, I am very much in his corner. How did you come upon the story?
If you give me your e-mail address, I will send you the scanned page from the book where it´s from. I have it, it´s hard to find but it´s still possible. Anyway, there is a dispute if Richard of Eastwell is really Richard III´s own son, but I am inclined to believe him. The way he said it sounded very realistic. Also, Richard allegedly had MORE kid, at least two or three than those previously mentioned. One of them was Stephen Hawes, a poet in the court of Henry VIII. He might have been a younger brother to Katherine, Richard´s other bastard child. Their mother was either Katherine Haute, a wife of a rich fabric merchant of Kent, or Alice Burgh, Richard´s alleged love and nursemaid to Edward IV´s kids at the Pontefract castle. Also, the person in this tomb in the video is said to might have been swapped with two other people lying next to each other; the real Eastwell is supposed to lie in some unmarked grave somewhere else, and in Eastwell´s grave, there are supposed to be lying the owners of the manor. P.S.: Eastwell built his own little house on the premises of the park of the manor. It´s called Plantagenet Cottage (in Eastwell) and it´s up for rent on AirBnB and Booking.com. I am supposedly related to Richard on both my mother´s and father´s side (I have the haplogroup J1c2c and G2a), but I don´t know HOW I am realated to him - maybe directly, maybe as a cousin. Anyway, that is why I am interested in Richard III. So that´s why I am posting.
That’s a monument not a tomb it was made to commemorate sir Walter moyle of eastwell manor who died in 1480,he was justice of the kings bench,there used to be a slab on top with a brass plaque,the people who put the plaque that’s on it now would have known that,
@@HaxFilmmaker it is supposed to be in the graveyard somewhere in an unmarked tomb,but i think it would probably be in an unmarked grave,if you search st marys eastwell on youtube theres a 4 minute video by the friends of the friendless who own the church and are responsible for building that monument,it explains everything in there
Thank you very much, I headed read
Hey Mike. Great history lesson there and it still goes on today doesn't it? Fascinating and I dont know how you remembered all that!😜
Hey Ms The Horseback Heroine, thank you for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed it!!

Wow! Very interesting Steve. Thanks for watching.
I’m really curious…. How did you find the video?
@@HaxFilmmaker I did a search on CZcams for anything about Sir Thomas Moyle or Eastwell Park and your video came up.

Hello Joan, I’m always on the look out for stories and someone mention this one on my doorstep so I investigated. I also love history.
