The Pilgrim's Way to Britain's Great Cathedrals | Episode 2

David Suchet goes us on a pilgrimage through England and Wales, visiting many of Britain's great cathedrals. Along the way, he explores some of the old and well-worn pilgrim routes and a few of the newer ones.

David Suchet does some marvellous Work; as do the people who assist him in bringing these treasures to our attention. Thanks for putting this on.

I love Sir David's narrations, this program is no exception. A lovely watch. Thank you for the upload.

[@curtisgrindahl446]

My pilgrimage was in 1972 and as a student of architecture I visited all of these cathedrals... understanding only later that it was a spiritual pilgrimage as well. These videos are a treasure.

A fascinating heritage beautifully presented. Thank you.

[@JD-cw4qg]

As a Brit, I didn't know half of the history of our magnificent cathedrals, absolutely loving these, thank you for uploading

[@rosemarymccarron3887]

These great cathedrals were built by the catholic church until henry 8th stole them from the church.

[@philipmcdonagh1094]

Wonderful series thanks.

[@BlueSaphire70]

All these cathedrals are beautiful, but I was mightily impressed by Gloucester Cathedral's fan vaulting. I have been to several southern cathedrals like Winchester and Wells, but I have never seen such beautiful ceilings! It's such a wonderful miracle that they, as well as the Great East Window, survived the reformation. I was quite surprised to learn about the earthquake that damaged Lincoln Cathedral. I don't usually associate northern England with earthquakes! I was astonished to learn where the Venerable Bede is buried, Lincoln Cathedral, as well as St. Cuthbert. I'm so glad they were left alone. This is such an excellent program, thank you for posting it!

[@stephengraham5099]

The fan vaulting at Gloucester is stunning. The Venerable Bede is buried at Durham, as is St. Cuthbert. I've been to all the cathedrals featured in the series.

[@BlueSaphire70]

@@stephengraham5099 You have been so lucky! I wish I could say the same. I have only been to some, and they were in the first part, so watching these has been a treat!

[@stephengraham5099]

@@BlueSaphire70 I live in London so have excellent rail connections and I booked well in advance to get the cheapest ticket. I have visited some by motorcycle as well. My top three. Lincoln, Ely and Durham.

Thank you for uploading this absolute GEM of a docu. I just cannot wait for the 3rd episode to be uploaded.

[@jeffharbin5767]

It was wonderful to see and hear snippets of the choirs and organs. More, please!

[@aseeker2109]

Thank you for this brilliant series. In my mind, I can imagine the thrill of the awesome beauty at the moment the Bishop elevates Jesus, truly, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament during a Pontifical High Mass in any of our former Cathedrals, especially Lincoln. For the Church and the salvation of souls...❤🙏🙏🙏❤

[@hildasalazarcatedraparalavida]

Thanks for this precious material, I am so sad for division between brothers destroys so beautiful places and offend the heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ. If somebody hate his brother is not christian.

[@user-el3nu7qp1t]

I have greatly enjoyed visiting many of these cathedrals and will have to add Ely. (I travel from Canada annually and always ensure to visit a couple cathedrals. This year included Winchester and St. Albans.) Shame about Henry VIII.

[@brianwooton1992]

Looking forward to seeing this in December. Wonderful show.

[@emilywall2597]

Fabulous music: Holy, Holy,Holy. Love this beautiful video.

[@ronaldkolstedt9295]

Thank you for this excellent video. I am so tired of watching other videos which are nothing more than drone shots of roofs. Your video is well organized and beautiful. It is a pleasure to see internal shots of buildings (cathedrals)., as the interior of these cathedrals cannot be imagined.

[@marylynnmazzocco5367]

Lovely documentary about Great Britain's cathedrals so beautifully handed down the generations in faith and historically. I love my own cathedral in Lexington, but only built in 1967.

[@rosemarymccarron3887]

These were all catholic cathedrals stolen by Henry 8th.

Lincoln was actually the tallest building in the world with its spires not just Europe.

[@stephengraham5099]

I'm sorry, but the music was far too loud. It was at just the right level in the first episode. Such a shame. Lincoln Cathedral was indeed the tallest building in Europe but it was also the tallest in the world. I was surprised that the famous Lincoln Imp grotesque in the Angel Choir wasn't mentioned.

[@drtmuir]

Durham... ❤❤❤

[@giovanniserafino1731]

These are wonderful videos! At the same time, they are sad reminders of the past when England was Catholic,and in full communion with the Holy See. English Catholics, like all Catholics , went on pilgrimage in order to visit and pray at the shrines of the saints asking their intercession. The dissolution of the monasteries under Henry the eighth, and the public destruction of the shrines and relics of the Saints, along with the adoption of the radical errors of protestantism by the founders of the “ new religion” ended any real connection with the pious Catholic devotions of the past. That there are those today, who while still embracing “ the new religion established by law,” wish to recapture Catholic devotions of the past is very admirable indeed. However in the opinion of many , it is too little, and too late.

[@telemachus53]

I'm not sure you have to repeat the opening every episode. The actual "episode 2 " only begins after 4" of watching the opening! Pity!

[@havingalook2]

I was hoping to see a list of the music that was included throughout, but I don't see it.

[@janiced9960]

Great series, I have loved them all. Just a tad disappointed that there was no mention of the Bishop of Durham who, in the last years of the 20th century said that he did not believe in God. A sew days later Durham Cathedral was struck by lightning and the roof severely damaged. Just saying.

[@SeeLight222]

It's a question why the King wanted to reform only the church, destroy the invaluable items from historical times but did nothing to end monarchy, let alone "Reform" it.

[@user-ui8xk3eq9i]

That's a very nice hairdo you're wearing.

[@Shevock]

It's really quite sad watching how this history and beauty was destroyed by the Church of England.

Tut, tut Suchet, it is Revelation, singular. John had a revelation, not several. It's really irritating when people get this wrong, it's not that hard

[@Joe-sw9nk]

The Reformation had to happen. Mother church was corrupt. She still is.

They were once great Catholic cathedrals until Henry 8th stole them from the church. This presenter should be saying catholic instead of christian.
