Thank you for a fantastic video. I watched this before actually visiting earlier this year. Many of my ancestors lived in Horsted Keynes and so I have deep connections with the village and with St Giles Church. A number of my ancestors are buried in the churchyard too. I spent a wonderful time here with lovely, welcoming and helpful folk. Having since returned, watching your video again brings back lovely memories. A special place indeed.

[@RichardVobes]

So pleased you enjoyed it.

[@andrastetriformis6241]

Deepest condolences to Ollie to the loss of his loved ones. They would be very proud to see him being such a kind tour guide..

[@RichardVobes]

Yes I am sure they would - thanks for the comments.

A wonderful church, Ollie is an excellent guide. Interesting fact, the vicar at Horsted Keynes is also the chaplain of the Bluebell Railway!

[@RichardVobes]

It's not far to the Bluebell Railway Station at Horsted Keynes as it happens.

[@RichardVobes]

Great vidio and great company

My father was the village policeman during the 1950s and I was born in the police station in 1953. Very often I would see the Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan, at church and he would always read the lesson. I was Christened in St. Giles's.

[@RichardVobes]

Wow, what a lovely bit of local history. Thanks for posting.

Lovely church 👍🏻

[@RichardVobes]

Thanks Tom

[@georgetimperley8906]

That was great. There is a steam locomotive, a London Brighton and South Coast Railway E4 at Bluebell. named I think after Birchgrove, but it's only called that in the LBSC livery. I did enjoy that well done great video you 2 👍

[@RichardVobes]

Glad you enjoyed it George. I will have to look out for Birchgrove.

The year issue is because Jan 1st did not mark new year in the old calendar. A year would continue until Lady Day 25th March, when the year number would change. So anyone born between 31st Dec and Lady Day would appear to be born a year before they did (to modern eyes) or died in this case. Historians always have to take this into consideration.

[@RichardVobes]

Thanks for this.

[@SteveKxyz]

There's a grave in the churchyard of a young local couple who were killed on the nearby railway line (now Bluebell Railway) as they walked home in the dark after their wedding reception.........if memory serves me well.

[@RichardVobes]

Oh dear, how awful.

[@davidbooth3285]

A ton weight just missed her head,oh thank you God I am not dead! And I was buried before I was born,same as Harold out there on the yonder lawn!

[@RichardVobes]

That was a narrow escape I agree. :)

[@georginacox3909]

Morning. He was my Prime Minister

[@RichardVobes]

Yours?

[@georginacox3909]

@@RichardVobes yes. I was born 1957

[@georginacox3909]

Ok. All the Prime Ministers are listed on Google. From the beginning.UK ones.

[@RichardVobes]

A good year to be born I guess.
