Hi Marq, I've driven past Kingston numerous times to Newhaven but never stopped! Didn't realise there was so much to see! Love the birdsong too, thanks for taking us with you

Lovely place, Marq. The gate is a tapsel gate - as far as I’m aware, unique to downland Sussex. There’s about 12 churches that have them - I’ve seen the one at Coombes church near lancing (I’d definitely recommend that one for a visit.)

a swing gate in the church

I knew this would be a good 'un 👌 Thanks for taking me down memory lane Marq 🥰

Very popular is The Juggs pub locally Marq. Lovely videos of around Lewes.

Detling has some military chalk badges inscribed on the hillside I think. Maybe you pass those next time. The Medway bridge is very high up above the river I recall. I used Maidstone as my end and start points on this leg and being surrounded by motorways getting in and out on foot was challenging to say the least!

Hiya!. love it- stunning done,so long!

Tapsell gate - engineered so coffin bearers could pass either side with coffin above. As I expect you found out the path goes by Ashcombe mill with it's unusual six sweeps instead of four. In an old version of streetview I was on camera exiting Kingston Church after one of many picnic lunches in the churchyard there!

Nice one , Marq😀

What an uplifting video. So much love and appreciation. Thanks for sharing….Daleks still scary 😱 but very entertaining 👍🏻✨

I knew which one it was but I couldn’t remember the name. These vidoes seem to make me regret coming to Canada. Not much history or old buildings where we now live on the Canadian prairies. I often say I’ll have to move back and live in a tent somewhere as houses are too expensive!

We share a love of Medieval wall paintings. If you ever get a chance to visit Claverley it would knock your socks off.

Nice videography.

25:19 Looks like a Dalek wedding photograph.

I told you I heard Amanda tapping is lovely.

I think you should do Collectively Camberley ,they usually star celebrity cars.

What an interesting Video Marq! We went to the Southease Church in 2014 when we walked The South Downs Way 😊

I visit coldrum quite alot and i agree the place does have a sort of carming energy with it

Name is Ryan Fitzwater from Birmingham, AL, USA. At 40 years old I can trace my heritage back to this place. I hope to visit some day. Descendant of Thomas Fitzwalter.

Slowly catching up with all the videos, Marq. But felt I had to comment on this one, with the railway connection. As far as I know this was not a Beeching cut, being some years later. The diesel "Thumper" units were used on this line in it's later years. Indeed, I had a local rover ticket so I could travel in such trains in the last week of operation all them years ago. You gave a short glimpse of a Wickham railbus, which had been converted to a departmental unit after withdrawal. Could do with a paint job, but these things take time, especially on a small line like this. The folk here do a good job, all things considered, but I do feel they labour under the weight of constantly renewed intents to reopen the line from Uckfield to Lewes. Good to see the Cock is still thriving, sadly unlike others nearby. Very enjoyable.

Two lovely churches - I was very taken by the church at Southease and its location when I visited last year - I still need to edit my video from there! Apparently Southease was well known for its herring fishing fleet in medieval times!

Does anyone remember back in the early 50s , there was a concreted "narrow" fenced with high railings in which the flow of water was monitored just West of the railway bridge/tunnel ( between Station Ave. & Meadow Walk ). In the height of Summer local kids would form a dam of branches and meadow cuttings thereby creating a sizeable lake in which one was able to paddle or even swim . Within a few days the council would remove the dam where upon re-constrution became necessary . Happy days !

My dad's ashes at that church I used to go to that church very interesting

Lovley to se eI grew up there the pond has shrunk it used to be a lot bigger

Lovely peaceful video! It does make you wonder who chooses the dedication of a church! So many churches on the St Michael Line all named for St Michael. Was it some form of lottery- we have a church near us,St Swithuns- what made his name suddenly crop up? It’s a fascinating topic. Thanks Marq

Looks like a great but tiring time! (I’ll be honest, I’m struggling to know who all the celebs are - I recognise the Jason guy though!)

Nice to see Southease church open again as it was closed for roof repairs last time I was there. There is a wonderful newly designated bridleway across the marshes back to Lewes from Iford church. A lovely peaceful bimble though it does go past a venue called the Party Barn in it's latter stages!

Brilliant stuff😀Hope the Daleks managed to get up the kerbs

Fascinating stuff, Marq. only one train station away from Lewes. I really must visit Southease again. Thank you for reminding me

Two lovely Churches Marq. Looking forward to Kingston Village one. When I was at school my friend lived in a farm there. I used to stay over at weekends and we used to ride her horse. Happy memories 🥰

Oh, there is LOTS of Merit in this video!

What a great video of the event Marq and Wendy, glad you got the autographs you hoped to get 🥰

I love this church and little hamlet of Southease, I even made a lino print from a drawing of the church. If you noticed the long thatched cottage next to the church. That was where the daffodil specialist lived who inspired my collection of daffodils. When i met her late 80s she had some 90 varieties growing in her garden.

Richard Armitage …………. ❤😍🥰

Looks like you had a great time .Wendy is very generous letting people sit in the car .Top job guys.

I’d love to Wander around her curves! Vroom. Vroom!

Love the car Marq, you and Wendy both stars, see you next year

Not seen it before- where have I been hiding?

Strangely I had read that before- quite a few years ago - not too recent. I think it must be based on lands granted.It’s gotta be a bit of a guessing game

Had to laugh to see your arch nemesis- maybe Marie IS funding this annoying nuisance??? It’s a shame you’ve been touring around these historical sites and nobody else around. There is so much of our history in Lewes. People only seem drawn to the subjects taught in school. We didn’t ‘do’ medieval history - not touched on at all so there is a huge amount to learn. Very enjoyable video!

did you see banstead woods house that was once a mental hospital

Oh I can tell you that and her story ❤️

I love everyone's enthusiasm for the car, for those that know, know. When we meet next time, Marq, you'll have to tell me the story of this car and it's attraction.

Thank you- I think this must have been shut when we visited Lewes. Surprised to see it had a little tea room there & outdoor seating.

Its still for me an astonishing work of art and imagination.

Enjoying these ones 😊

Great video Marq.I have not been to Lewes ,its in the list to go ❤😊

Mc giver sempre al top🎉❤

Oh those teen years…😂
