That’s fascinating! I can see a lot of work went into that. It’s cool to follow along solving the puzzle based on your research and to see how the town evolved over time. You have a way of bringing the history to life. In a way, I can see how time is like a river moving space about. Haha, Stephen the jerk! I’ve always thought so, had to study British history in school. Nice photo btw.

The clerics may have had some agency in terms of site selection, but you shouldn't underestimate the role of aristocratic patronage (which was significant in the establishment of the Christian faith in the British Isles, and again in the Reformation). The location of St Mary's may simply come down to what land the local lord was willing to grant the Church, and that in turn may have been influenced by factors like the land's suitability for agriculture.

I absolutely loved it! There is so much of what you're doing that is what I have only begun to do but you go extremely deep - which is very interesting to find out the results. I am researching my ancestors 'on location' in UK & Australia (EU is not forgotten) and am loving it - just wish I had more time. So much to see - so much to do. Last year I travelled twice to the UK and had a retired archaeologist help me in Bath (brilliant!!) and in Northumberland I learnt of the Border Reivers which keeps drawing me back to learn more. Anywho Rob, I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Where to next? Thank you

I find the name "The Anarchy" to be misleading and a misuse of the term. "The Power Vacuum" would be a more accurate description. Ironically, anarchy would have rendered this power struggle redundant as there would be no position of power to fight for. Anarchy is just the rejection of man made political systems, with the belief that the laws of nature, as unfair as they are, are still more fair than the rules of a man who's agenda is nothing more than to maintain and consolidate their power. I'd rather get screwed by nature than man.

@craigroaring I think you are taking the term a little bit to literally. Yes, 'anarchy' can mean what you are describing, but it can also be used as a general term for overall disorder and a break down of law. That would certainly describe the events described in this video. Overall though, it's just a Victorian term that stuck, and so we use it.

@@walkaboutwithrob But the reason I make a fuss of this misuse is because I believe a concerted effort has/is being made to demonise the option of anarchy. The powers that be do not want us thinking that we are better off without them. They want us to fear a world without their laws. My argument is that the laws of nature are consistent, incorruptible and preferable to the self serving laws of our masters. I have more faith in humanity than I do with people with ambition.

@@walkaboutwithrob For starters, I would suggest those who named a struggle within the monarchy as anarchy. If anarchy reigned there would be no monarchy and therefor no position to fight for. Anarchy would have pitted the two contenders against each other without the masses doing the fighting.

Not a million miles from my original home, also at the foot of the North Downs. The village I come from also has weird geography. When I was a kid, pre house numbers. We had addresses by house name and lower or upper street. In the upper street you had the church with the more modern manor house. Plus a lot of the oldest buildings. Then in the lower street, considered the newer end. You had the original medieval manor. Ancient tannery. The original village green that was the point of execution. And a few other ancient buildings. The church was 12th century, like most in my area. 2 miles from the oldest manor house. This village was also already established and recorded in the Doomsday book.

@2W0D3N "so we will believe what they want us too" [sic] What does that mean? Are we being lied to?
@2W0D3N Сағат бұрын
@ yes definitely we have been lied to for generations. For instance they will do something that’s inhumane like a virus and tell all kinds of lies to justify and make out that it wasn’t them. The system is broken and has been since the Roman’s ruled the empire, which they still do it’s just under a different name now. All tribal beliefs have similar stories that align with each other, now when you look at the books they align with the tribal stories but have an agenda for the people to follow and be controlled 🤷🏼♂️. Just my point of view from someone that has lived outside the system all my life, like they say you don’t see what in the box until you look at the box from the outside

Many people AUDIT the police interaction as they have duties, not to bully or escalate the situation. So, them having guns is not something a law abiding citizen should be afraid of, they are a police service, even when they call themselves a force. Public servants, they are not our masters, and they obviously need reminding. Turning a blind eye to their improper behaviour has only made it worse. As you see during these audits, false arrest can get compo of like $20,000 in USA. They need to watch what they do, not the other way around. If your not breaking the law, they have NO AUTHORITY to bother you at all.

Si può visitare Roma, anche in estate , senza folla : basta evitare i soliti luoghi. Ci sono chiese, gallerie, monumenti, musei importantissimi praticamente sconosciuti alla massa dei turisti. Esempi: chiesa del Priorato di Malta (capolavoro di Piranesi), Museo della Centrale Montemartini con le importantissime SCULTURE FRONTONALI DEL TEMPIO DI APOLLO SOSIANO, la Galleria Nazionale di arte antica di Palazzo Corsini e quella di Palazzo Barberini, il museo Barracco (arte egizia, assira, cipriota, greca, romana, medioevale), chiesa di Santa Maria della Vittoria con L'ESTASI DI SANTA TERESA DI GIANLORENZO BERNINI) è impossibile elencare tutte le chiese artisticamente importanti perché sono più di 500!
