Much of the grounds of Nostell are free to walk round (pay for parking) but some of the grounds are only open if you pay. Coincidentally I used to live near Leeds Bradford airport and would see the air ambulance regularly. I now live not far from Nostell and see it regularly again.

I parked near the Independent School/Village Hall and walked it. No brainer really. With all the walking I do, it was small fry. £5 I believe to use the car park

Wragby Church is certainly not redundant. It's in the Ecclesiastical CofE Parish of Wragby which includes the Church of the Resurrection at Kinsley to the South. The special thing about that church at Wragby is the stained glass windows. They came from Switzerland. I believe it was the Winn family that brought them over. There is information about this in the church. The church functioned as the private chapel of the Winns for a time and Wragby was where most of the Estate's workforce lived at that time. I believe the village remains largely in the hands of the Estate even now. The company is called Nostell Estates Limited and also owns most of not only Nostell and Wragby but Hessle and Hill Top and West Hardwick as well.

As I said in the video, I only thought it was beforehand...pleasant surprise as a result!

Also in next weeks Hemsworth video, the Church of the Resurrection does feature in the Picture Bit. Now - my information told me that it's Fitzwilliam as opposed to Kinsley. Personally I think its between the two looking at the map. Hence why the caption will say "Between Fitzwilliam and Kinsley". Also earlier in the video, I say in commentary that Kinsley has no church, "as far as I can tell on the map" to cover that both ways! Although I am aware of the old church near Hemsworth Water Park 😁

@@TheVillageIdiot yes you did. Hope the other information is useful. You did say you thought there was something special about the church but couldn't put your finger on it. Follow your gut instinct. It's rarely wrong 😊😊

@@emilduncanbrown8571 certainly was my good man 👍

[@emilduncanbrown8571]

@@TheVillageIdiot it is in Fitzwilliam just. However most people consider it to be in Kinsley probably because of the housing estate behind it to the west which links into the Tonbridge estate and forms a big part of the residential area of Kinsley. I think the way you have handled it sounds balanced. Good stuff.

Interesting that John Harrison was born in Foulby. I didn’t know this before.

[@TheVillageIdiot]

Yep in that house featured! It's only a few weeks back that I even found out he existed thanks to Jay Foreman and his Map Men videos
