Love the bit about "The Red Herring". Of all the bars in all the World etc etc. Toodles!

[@GlasgowGallus]

Again mate, another great wee video; interesting and fresh. keep it up buddy.

[@Joolzguides]

Thanks. Yes, been trying to make them longer. I could still add more info I guess!

[@Mathemagical55]

The police station in Wood Street has a small museum detailing the history of the City of London police force (which is quite distinct from the Met). Unfortunately it's rarely open and you need to check their website to call up and book a guided tour. The museum is just a single room but it has a lot of interesting exhibits and my guide (a retired copper) was excellent.

Being a Durham lad I've been on that battlefield at Branxton, he should have stayed at home. There must be alllsorts buried under London, would love for someone to find Boudicca. Good vid mate.

[@Joolzguides]

My favourite is still King Richard under Leicester...hard to beat that!

[@emilystaudte8401]

@@Joolzguides Poor Richard, stuck under a car park bein driven on for years! I love that every time you film with your sister your London accent is super strong. They're my favorite videos, you are more yourself.

[@wilstrong9049]

Love learning about London, keep up the good work

[@Joolzguides]

Thanks..Maybe I should be cab driver!

[@lorsheijd]

Funny and Interesting as ever... Keep 'em coming.

[@Joolzguides]

Cheers. If you're ever around to help film let me know!

[@adamsmith8307]

This is very, very interesting. Thank you for the truely excellent piece of information. I am from Scotland and I love Scottish history. King James IV is one of my favourite kings.

[@Joolzguides]

Great! Yes, I found it quite remarkable. I didn't know much about him myself. People get him confused with James VI

[@adamsmith8307]

I think there should be a plaque marking where King James IV's head was buried. King Charles III is directly descended from King James IV. The Royal family are very, very proud of their forever lasting Scottish roots. A new memorial plaque should be erected in The remains of St Michael's Church in Wood Street in London.

[@VictoriaPichel]

loved it. I need to read that poem!

[@Joolzguides]

Oh yes, I'm not a massive fan of Wordsworth to be honest but I guess I should look up some more of his stuff.

[@MsBeryl6]

Thank-you for the History Lesson.

[@creolelady182]

I just subscribed and you have great videos

[@Joolzguides]

Thank you. Oh! I'm glad you watched this one. It's a most peculiar tale!

[@RoseOfMadina]

"Even trees have rights..." hahah they sure do! Just as much right as we have, to live on Gods green earth. Liked this vid immediately when you uttered that phrase

[@bene8363]

Great video!

[@prepperjonpnw6482]

Merry Christmas to all! Watching in Dec 2020! lol

[@bonniea8189]

I'm confused by the passage you read about King James IV's head - the Battle of Flodden Field was 1513, but then it references a man who was a glazier to Queen Elizabeth I, who wasn't born until 1533 and didn't become queen until 1558. I'm guessing the glazier obtained the head later? Or else was rather old when he was serving Elizabeth?

[@k_h]

Great video 👌🏻

[@Joolzguides]

Thanks

[@Something-vd2ps]

Good stuff.

[@Joolzguides]

cheers!

[@derby1263]

Surley the pub should have been called the kings head lol

[@ChrisSmith-qq4mv]

From Toronto and the reincarnated King James the Scotts. What do you know but my head being found in a park

[@ougawougajr.4983]

No worries. Dat hydra grows back. LOL

[@Blondeunicorn333]

He’s my 13th great-grandpa. Can I call the pub and ask for my grandpa’s head back? I wonder what they would say

[@derby1263]

I thought the UK started to mine lead in the 1750s. So how did he get a lead lined coffin in the 1500s

[@MsSmudge14]

How old is that tree? It is too bad that so much from centuries ago is gone.

[@Joolzguides]

This story is amazing about the King's head. I still find it amazing that no one cares.

[@linassmaidziunas9007]

How tall is he? :D

[@Joolzguides]

I am 6'6" .... only!

[@dannymcmince]

@@Joolzguides Jayus that is tall!

[@glennwhittaker197]

Whilst you was on Love Lane, you should go to the “Saint Mary Aldermanbury Garden”, the former site of said Church which was moved to USA, link to follow once I copy n paste 🇬🇧⛪️🇺🇸

[@royfr8136]

1:34 as if they care

[@chrissmith5310]

Clue for my unsolved murder 500 years later

[@hideouslyugly]

It looks as if the people you approach, have no interest in history whatsoever. Either that,, or they're not used to people being friendly and making conversation!

[@chrissmith5310]

I'm the reincarnated as following king James of Scott's. I can prove this

[@bobmarshall3700]

Interesting that most of the "English" he interviewed were black... My how times have changed. Enoch was right!
