So proud of Collette for going so high up in that beautiful building. And I’m so impressed with the generosity of this man who gave so freely to so many.

[@LancashireLarks]

Yes Kim, we was saying the same the more we read about Lord Ashton the more we learnt how generous he was and what a life he had. Certainly left his mark Lancaster. Thanks Kim 😊😊❤️❤️

An amazing memorial and a amazing chap James Williamson. We have seen the memorial on numerous occasions and it certainly sticks out and can be seen far and wide. A top notch video explaining the story. Best wishes. 😊⭐️👍 Mark And Julie RomneyMarsh

Beautiful place, I would love to tour it,but you're a long way from Alabama. Thanks for sharing the amazing Ashton Memorial.

[@LancashireLarks]

It is indeed a tad far from Alabama, so glad you enjoyed the tour with us from the comfort of your own chair. Thanks Sherry 😊😊❤️❤️

[@Poppy-dachshund]

Thank You 😊🙌

What a marvelous house built by such a compassionate man. Feeding so many, especially the children 🥰 What a wonderful wedding venue! Wow! We have a flower here in Alabama called the Camellia, that is a dead ringer for the Tudor rose. Such a nice walking tour😋 Y’all sure do get around and have such good exercise. Thanks for always inviting us along 😊

[@sherrydeken5956]

It does resemble a camellia, I'm from Al. too and I love these guy's.

[@LancashireLarks]

Your enthusiasm for visiting this amazing place and your knowledge of soo much around you is wonderful. It’s unbelievable to think that the only monument to James Williamson wife has only one larger monument in the world.The Taj Mahal in India.Both are really beautiful buildings. Love your channel,and you two,too !! xx

[@LancashireLarks]

[@bdewar6837]

What amazing views you had from the top! You were lucky to have a bright clear day! I don't think I would have managed the stairs though! Lol

[@LancashireLarks]

The stairs were a bit of a struggle and then someone mentioned in the comments that we should climb York Minster, I think I would need to order a spare lung off Amazon haha. Thanks Belinda 😊😊❤️❤️

I never liked history at school until I volunteered at my local museum " Tullie house museum Carlisle "

[@LancashireLarks]

Another visit we must do 😊👍🏻

[@Poppy-dachshund]

Thank You 😊🙌

[@heathermurray9939]

If you come to Carlisle Cumbria, you need to go to weatheral Cumbria just outside of Carlisle, to the caves along the river, & look across the river to a castle on the hill, then walk to the gate tower, which is at the gate to a working farm

[@LancashireLarks]

That certainly does sound like a nice place to visit. Thanks Heather 😊😊❤️❤️

[@Poppy-dachshund]

Thank You 😊🙌

[@heathermurray9939]

If you ever go to York Minster cathedral North Yorkshire you can climb up to the roof, the stone stairs are narrow, so when people are trying to pass it's hard

[@LancashireLarks]

Ohh we love York Heather. Been a few times, didn’t realise you could get up the Minster. Must check that out next time 😊👍🏻

[@joclothier5536]

when I was in my 30’s I climbed York Minster tower with my husband.This was six weeks after a heart attack. Good exercise and viewing of a beautiful city.!

[@LancashireLarks]

@@joclothier5536 it sounds like I’m gonna need a spare lung Jo 😂

[@Poppy-dachshund]

Thank You 😊🙌
