I made pilgrimage to the cave on the 24th of September and left that 7 day votive lamp (the card and flowers were already there). It made me happy to see that it was able to burn down all the way to the bottom. So thank you very much for showing me that.

Thanks! It is a beautiful village - intriguing to see what's going to happen next with the sale of the castle and estate - a much-storied family.

Good video, keep them coming. The Cross is a Celtic style cross and when King Edwin was King it was under the influence of the Irish Church. The Monks who taught Edwin about Christianity had arrived from the outpost of the Island of Iona, in the Irish Sea. For Lord of the Rings fans, Edwin's would be assassin, was called Eomer, and J. R. R. Tolkien was Professor of Anglo Saxon at Leeds University before going to Oxford University. He knew his History and you can be sure he knew Eomer, although in the LOTR, Eomer is a goody Rider of Rohan, not a baddie assassin of Sauron. The Assassin was sent from Wessex, and so was Saxon, but all the others including the Cross are Angles. Deira was absorbed into Northumbria. I have a series of videos about the Dark Ages😍 for those who wish to know more.

@@Church_Searcher I grew up in Thornaby ( Cambridge road, opposite St Paul's ) but Catholic so it wasn't appropriate that we have anything to do with something run by the "prody dogs". I always wondered about the supposed Anglo-Saxon links especially as we were told the Normans had wrecked everything in the North as some part of the Conquest. Then there's Kildale... definitely Norman? In NZ now and there's a small church down the road with an interesting feature....musket ports!! How Xian is that!

Long story short in 1603 King James 6th of Scots took over England!

@Church_Searcher Ай бұрын

Their forays into Northern England were quite incredible really, you get the sense that their tactics really frustrated the English. But aye, we owe a lot to Mary Queen of Scots

Hello Chris: I have only recently discovered your 'youtube' vlogs and I am fascinated by them. I particularly like your references to the work of Bede. I will be buying myself an English translation. I think the amount of information that you include is just about right and your delivery is excellent. I would hope that you will include the church in Pickering famous for its wall paintings in a future episode. Thank you for exploring these places on my behalf. I could not receive the vocals on a couple of vlogs but they still showed the captions. Please keep them coming. Pete Glyde

@@Church_Searcher Hello Chris, By Cottam you mean Dave Haldenby’s Viking weights I think. Dave is a great guy - but I think the c. 15th century weights I have in mind are more attractive, more mysterious, and more Yorkshire…... But I am fascinated by your own Church project.

This really is a great video - I’m a Scot and have been to Flodden twice. This battle is one I think about often, just how different the day could of been if different decisions were made or quite importantly, if weather/conditions were better
