Great Castles Of Britain - Castle Rising

In a trip back to my home county of Norfolk I visit Castle Rising near Kings Lynn, and explore the history that this stunning Norman Keep has to offer!

Great story. Love old castles, so much history.

[@AlexTheHistoryGuy]

There certainly is. I even learned a few new things when researching this place and I've been coming to this castle since I was a kid!

[@bcdave91]

Never heard of Castle Rising. Thank you for another great video.

[@AlexTheHistoryGuy]

It's one of the best known castles in Norfolk but yes, still fairly hidden!

[@MichelleBruce-lo4oc]

Hi Alex, awesome live history video I enjoyed it. The castles are very historical and beautiful. Full of history. See you next video greetings from Canada 😊

[@triplespiral668]

Excellent video, Thankyou, really enjoyed it

[@AlexTheHistoryGuy]

A pleasure:)

[@richardhinton3801]

Great video, as always Alex. Full of interesting information. Must visit again.

[@AlexTheHistoryGuy]

Ayy thank you :)

[@bonnymcdermott1240]

I liked this presentation a lot. Quite nicely done. Only wish the photography followed in sinc with the narration story.

[@AlexTheHistoryGuy]

Thanks, I appreciate that :) I make videos by first visiting the site I'm speaking about, I get all the footage I can (trying to duck and dive between other visitors), then I go home and research the site before writing a script and then editing a video. Due to this, I can't always guarantee that I'll have enough footage for each area that I talk about so I then make a choice whether I want to commit to editing the video in order or not. Hope this helps! :)

Good video , please invest in a proper sound set up tho bouy. Thetford next please, I'd be very interested in what you can find out about the pre norman stuff it's built on.

[@AlexTheHistoryGuy]

Haha this very is actually done with a professional mic, maybe I just haven't figured out how to set it up properly 😆 Thetford is definitely on the list! I have so much interesting info about it that it will render its own "Origins Of" video. Expect the video to be around 25 minutes long. The video will include a trip to Grimes Graves, Bronze age Barrows, Iceni Earthworks, Venta Icenorum, Burgh castle, Weeting castle, Warrens Lodge, Thetford Castle, Thetford Priory, Church of the holy Sepulchre, Thetford Friary, and more :)

@@AlexTheHistoryGuy march churches too, weird place but the buildings are amazing. Also narge , the undercrofts and ruined churches . The strange little one tucked behind foundry street is a round tower one with rows of timber framed buildings surrounding it possibly contemporary? Lots to go at in Norfolk If you keep your eyes open. Keep up the good work, it's great to hear the accent here on KZbin
