For the BEST picture quality don’t forget to change your RESOLUTION SETTINGS! Head to the SETTINGS WHEEL on the right and put it at the highest resolution possible. 💚🏰

[@harridan.]

i have increased resolution on my phone by putting on my reading glasses.

[@EvelynEdwards]

@@harridan. 😂😂😂 that helps too! But KZbin defaults to pretty horrible resolution settings and I always want it to be enjoyed to the highest standards possible.

[@harridan.]

@@EvelynEdwards i enjoy your videos enormously. all i have is a phone.

[@Kenzalina_]

I turned my resolution up to 1080p on your videos. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your videos. The quality of your content is amazing. You have quickly become one of my favorite content creators. 💗

[@EvelynEdwards]

Ahhh yay!!! So so glad you enjoyed! And so glad you found me! 💚🏰

[@luxste]

I love your channel so much! 💜 Thank you for taking us places a lot of us will never get to see in person, ourselves. 🏰

[@EvelynEdwards]

Ohhh friend! That means so much! There are some absolutely amazing things bout technology…and finding friends who love the same things as you do and being able to share with them that is top on that list for me!

[@melindalopez3978]

I agree. I would love to see all of the places in the videos but never will. I do love living vicariously through them.

This is fascinating. I feel like we only learn how tolerant and good Elizabeth was. This was an eye opener.

[@EvelynEdwards]

Elizabeth did some absolutely horrible things. Many many executed. None were all good or all bad.

[@riverbankjohn]

Keep it up mate x ❤

[@alainaclemons8365]

Never knew about priest holes. Wow!

[@debrajohnston1790]

I love your voice. Would you ever consider doing a 90 minute or so documentary?

[@EvelynEdwards]

@@debrajohnston1790 hi friend! Thank you so much! I’ve narrated hour long segments but never 90….just haven’t been asked. 💚💚

[@DD-th2bd]

[@EvelynEdwards]

💚💚💚💚

[@lanegoodspeed8275]

Thanks! What a great video!

[@EvelynEdwards]

So glad you liked it! Thank you!!

[@melindalopez3978]

Is this a museum now? Its beautiful!

[@EvelynEdwards]

It is! The house and gardens are just magnificent. One of the best Tudor houses in England in my opinion.

[@Lindyloo61]

​@EvelynEdwards it's beautiful, and local to me

[@cassowild854]

I wonder if stories of people living in walls somehow originate from the existence priest holes. Awesome story as ever!

[@EvelynEdwards]

Good questions! Legends do stem from a kernel of truth usually!

[@Ripcurl552002]

Haunted, ghost stories👻👻 As you know I Love your videos. ⚔️💚🏰

[@EvelynEdwards]

😁😁😁💚👻🏰

[@IHaveAStory67]

I do Enjoy the history and stories.

[@EvelynEdwards]

🥰🥰🥰

[@zonabrown9241]

❤never knew how awful these holes were or how those looking 4 them stayed in the house❤

[@sixeses]

Thanks Evelyn. Romeo and Juliet [II, 6] Juliet Good even to my ghostly confessor.

[@EvelynEdwards]

Perfect quote. 💚😉

[@chelseawood5148]

I enjoy a good ghost story. Hate this part of our history, sad for the priests that were persecuted.

[@FrankHopkins-by1bx]

Elizabeth wasn't all good that's for sure. Humans have such a hard time being okay with someone else not believing the same thing they do.

[@EvelynEdwards]

So so true. And yes. We definitely gloss over many of Elizabeth’s atrocities.

[@harridan.]

what's the point in being queen if one can't be atrocious?

[@EvelynEdwards]

@@harridan. 😂 well….

[@Lindyloo61]

Im watching Reign at the moment it's a twist of fiction mixed with a hint of truth. It's based on Mary Q of scots and her fight with Elizabeth1 and all the cunning of French court with a modern take. You just take with a pinch of salt, But what it does is peak your interest on people and make you research the 'real' stories. I've done so much research past month. Then I came across your video's. So 1 by 1 I'm going through them. ❤

[@EvelynEdwards]

@@Lindyloo61 ahhh amazing! There’s a whole playlist about Mary Queen of Scots. There will be more videos on her in the future. But you’ll find some fun there!

[@DSWL_]

dude religion is so stupid 😂

[@ileanaacacostaacosta1813]

In justice to Elizabeth Pius V was to blame for what happened to the English Catholic population whydid he have to excommunicate her and tell Catholic to act against her and overthrow her common Elizabeth had to defend herself from this sector of her people t hey. forced her to act harshly and ruthlessly against the Catholic population and this is why Catholics had no civil rights for almost three hundred years until they were restored in 1829

[@EvelynEdwards]

This is a fair comment. He definitely made things extra difficult!

[@lindalumae]

Why would a priest become a ghost? If God exists (and I believe he does), why would he leave a priest’s soul to wander aimlessly in a house? If we have souls, then there must be a God and if God would leave a priest’s soul out of heaven, why should anyone serve that god?

[@EvelynEdwards]

Well Linda…I just tell you the history and the legends that people have told after the fact. You can take or leave the rest.

[@lindalumae]

@@EvelynEdwards I understand. I appreciate the stories. I’m just providing my reaction, as is everyone else. We all have different views and opinions. Thanks for the story. It does provide some historical information and references that I appreciated. I should have stated that in my original comment.

[@harridan.]

lots of priests have no business in heaven.

[@Lindyloo61]

​@@harridan.That is very true!
