The Ghastly Gamesters of Holbeach

[@paulinitonit]

I remember being told of this story when I was a child at school in the town. Not mentioned in the film, there was also a legend that there was a tunnel between the Chequers and the church. I vaguely remember in the version I heard that the men accessed the church through the tunnel.

[@Seany63]

Cheers Paul, very interesting. I wish I had known that before making the video.

Great story as usual Sean i don’t know where you find them 😂but I’m really glad you do !!! 👏👏

[@Seany63]

Thanks Lyndon, I can say the same about you. I always look foward to your entertaining and informative vids👍

[@CodgerBiker]

Excellent. I think I was at college with a descendent of one of the gamesters. He was from Holbeach and cursed with incredibly hairy nostrils, like the ends of a couple of chimney sweeps brushes. it makes sense now. Good to see the tomb of Zaphod Beeblebrox also, I bet he knew where his towel was 👌

[@Seany63]

Ha ha Zaphod, I wish I had thought of that. Funny enough there was a towel on a table close to the tomb so I think you maybe on to something. Well, what a strange bloke. You have reminded me of another nosey guy from another town in the shire.👌

[@CodgerBiker]

@@Seany63 Some crazy muthas emerged from that county. I know, I saw one mofo in the shaving mirror only this morning, while manscaping my feet 👌👌👌

good work, very good work.

Thank you Tim.

Anyone know info about the tunnels under the town?

I am currently binge watching all of your videos 👍 😎

Hi Sean, hope you are well. Excellent as always. Wow, creepy vibes!! Loved it. Hope it didn't give you nightmares 😉 XxX

[@Seany63]

Thank you Michelle, no nightmares. However, there was a passive-aggressive flower arranger in the church who was a bit disturbing.😬 XXX

[@michelledaviesburton1334]

@@Seany63 Oh dear!! That is a little scary!! Glad you escaped in one piece 🤣 XXX

[@kellyshaw7271]

Always interesting your uploads. Really good story and factual too. You cannot beat local legends especially when the participants were real. Shame the graveyard is so overgrown now. Would have been a real find if the headstones were still legible. Cheers

[@Seany63]

Cheers Kelly. Well, trying to find the graves was just an afterthought. I am snowed under with work right now, but its something I would really like to pursue when I have time. I need to access parish records.

[@kellyshaw7271]

That would be excellent.

[@Hailstonepie]

Damn well brilliantly told and interesting too. Thank you Sean.

[@Seany63]

Thanx very much, it was my pleasure.

[@thebowleggedrunner]

Really enjoyed this one… fascinating, interesting and creepy

[@kariwellborn5083]

Hoping you would post soon and here you are!!! I hope you can go back one day and really give a good look at the interior what a fascinating Church and tale! Thank you Sean for another great story. Love from hades(Arizona) hot and humid. lol

[@Seany63]

Thanks Kari, yes I would like to visit the church again. Hopefully, I won't be persona non grata next time and I get to have a good around. Well, it's hot and humid here, in the 20s. That's Hades by British standards😈.

[@kariwellborn5083]

[@Jay-Leigh]

This church I’ve actually had a Sunday service in but only once, I’m glad now, as I’d never be able to stop thinking of this. It’s around 8 miles from where I live. 😱

[@Seany63]

Well, apparently some 240 years later they still don`t like to be reminded of it, judging by all the dirty looks I got😎

[@Jay-Leigh]

@@Seany63 That’s horrible they made you feel like that…more so as you look so cool. Old farts I call them shhhhhh 😂😂😂😂😂 take no notice people sometimes forget where they are when they give out nasty looks Sean. 💙

[@Seany63]

Thank you Jay.😎👍

[@TheContinuingStories]

Good video as always Sean. Didn’t know these tales.

Thank you my friend, yes, I really enjoyed making this one. Its just occurred to me that I still don`t know your name?

[@waynesmith4612]

You have a gift my friend for telling an eerie story at no mistake, i was glued to that until the end! Many churches etc have eerie pasts to them but somehow you made that one stand out. Lol i was half expecting someone to jump out behind that alter or a gravestone as a joke. No that was really interesting and good. It's one of those tales once you've heard you never forget.

[@Seany63]

Thank you very much Wayne for your kind comments. However, I think the scariest thing in the church that day was me😬

[@cynicalcely6015]

Awesome! Great ghost story, brilliantly told, informative with an Awesome ending... Wish I had saved it for bedtime... ♡♧♡

Thanx cuz xx👍

[@pphillips2689]

More has been discovered about Sir Humphrey in recent years. Its now known he died in 1339 and was quite active as a Royal Servant. One time Admiral of the English Navy and briefly constable of New Radnor Castle. The Sir Humphrey who died during the Wars of the Roses was a descendent of his.

[@Seany63]

Thank you Phillip. I wish I had known that at the time. Thanks for the info

[@MrCSRT8]

Many thanks for the tour of a great old church and a delightfully creepy story! I'm disappointed to hear about the sourpusses you encountered. They should have welcomed a nice fellow like you. Oh well, their loss.
