The Real Lord of the Rings Door?

[@Norweeg]

These videos from England have been incredible. Thanks for sharing your travels with us. Seeing a town so old in such good condition in modern times really puts things into perspective.

[@susanblauss1530]

LOVE all your videos Chris! You bring me to places I've never seen and will never get to visit. Don't ever stop! Thank you for bringing us along on ALL your adventures!!

[@VRed37]

I feel like I finally got to see that Tolkien door in person. Thanks so much for taking me along on your adventures. 😘

[@Mona-lu6qt]

That was amazing!!!!!! I read that there is a Yew tree growing beside the Church in Fortingall, Scotland that predates Christianity. 😲 So cool!!!!!!! Thank you💖

[@ernestj3081]

Absolutely magnificent Chris! I would love to live in the Cotswolds 🙏🏻The history, charm, and peacefulness of the area compares to none❤️ 🙏🏻💙

[@Ganiscol]

Those trees really complement the door, its a magnificent sight to behold!

[@Liz-cmc313]

I love castles. The architecture, the grandeur of it all,the beauty, and talent that goes into building these castles. Can't get enough. Thank you for the tours Chris ❤️.

[@GraveVisitations]

Very cool church. Almost looks like the trees are standing Guard outside door ☺️

[@Jared_Wignall]

This is awesome. Been loving the recent places you’ve been visiting Chris. Keep up the great work!

[@sallykohorst8803]

Wow the bells ringing and old stones in the 1860's! Thanksfor sharing. Have loved your tour of england so far!

[@chrisblack8390]

That church door was unbelievable! One of the coolest things I've ever seen. Thanks for taking me along. Loved this place

[@cosmos7492]

You should give Whitby a visit its a beautiful place ..Stoker found some of his inspiration for his novel Count Dracula while staying in Whitby in 1890

[@samanthab1923]

Sounds good

[@thomasschwarting5108]

Love the bells!! What I love about England and all of Europe for that matter is that buildings and other things are HUNDREDS of years old. Or like hear in the states when something is 100 or so years old, THATS old. Over there 100 years is still a baby!! Have a hard time wrapping my head around that!!

[@wendysmith8246]

I love hearing those bells ring!! Thank-you for this video!!!

[@fatimaali8645]

I’m enjoying ur tour of England but next time u get a opportunity please come to wales and Scotland we have beautiful history here too !

[@SmallWonda]

Exciting to see you rummaging around some of the amazing old villages of the Cotswolds - there are so many lovely villages to explore - hope you'll get to the Slaughters... Great to see the Yew trees around the church door up close & personal - shame the church was closed, fairly unusual (it would be the front door usually to enter.) Thanks for taking us along.

[@somelikeithot444]

Love all the old doors w so much character. Great video Chris can't wait for the others.

[@J.M.Chadwick6]

So very reminiscent of Gray's "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard"

[@ianmaddams9577]

Great video Chris 👍🏻 this church is only a few hours drive from me here in the uk Thanks for your awesome videos 👍🏻

[@SerenitySueGraveyards]

Wow, I found a 1622 here in Ireland and recently a 1582, Ireland is beautiful wish you'd visit I've some amazing places you'd love

[@risingson7773]

Place is absolutely beautiful and those doors are awesome between the two trees.

[@dougscott8161]

WOW, Chris, when viewed from the correct angle, it almost looks like the door was built into the side of the tree. That alone would make for an erie situation. Thanks for sharing.

[@michaeledwards427]

Great video. Highly likely about the Tolkien connection. Just down the road in Moreton in Marsh the Bell pub has a very strong connection to Tolkien as well, I can't remember why. Despite going past every week to go shopping! Same with Stratford upon avon. I also go past Shakespeare's birth place as well all the other tourist spots regularly, when you get used to going past something, despite knowing world famous buildings are there, it's far too easy to accept it so easily. At least we've done the open top bus tour a few times.

[@peterwimsey5904]

what I've read about yew trees, which are often found in English churchyards, is that they often pre-date the church building itself, and indicate the site of pre-Christian ceremonies

[@navalhistoryhub3748]

Man I watched you since you're KZbin beginnings.And you made it to my area of the world. The beautiful Cotswolds. I have lived in Stow for most of my life. Make sure to visit Bibury and Bourton on the Water. Stratford as well if you pass by!

[@jimrossi7708]

Nice job, I really enjoy seeing what real England looks like !

[@gaffysmenk]

Sadly, this isn't the real England. It's a relic from the past, a tourist attraction, a picture postcard version of what used to be.

[@MagSpud12]

Brilliant series mate, you've made me appreciate my own country even more :)

[@cristinalaurenza2411]

Hermosos y muy tranquilos tus videos…gran descubrimiento! Creo que verdaderamente esa puerta puede haber sido la inspiración para El Señor de los Anillos, realmente hermosa y misteriosa…parece la entrada a las minas de Moria

[@oges74]

Have seen a lot of photos of that church door, have yet to see someone go through them to show what it looks like inside and I was really hoping it was going to be you to do that

[@jamesbaker2869]

Bring along large sheets of paper and a charcoal pencil or something like that to shade in the inscriptions on the tombstones. Give it a try anyway.

[@vesalampinen]

The first two lines in that Theresa Fanny's tombstone says: "SACRED / To the Memory of". It's an old Fraktur typeface which was used in European countries.

[@kurtcraig3421]

YEW TREES were very much prised for the making of archery bows, so as to pretect them they were planted in most of the church yards here in the uk.

[@carolgreenwood6105]

Welcome to the u k the Cotswolds is a lovely place a lot of famous people live around there 🙂 Also in folk law yew trees protect the church yards from evil spirits x

[@jontooke846]

That's amazing thanks so much. I love your videos I can not believe how amazing the work you do is. I pass you on to everyone I know and meet

[@20807shane]

Thanks for sharing. Loving these.

[@kayleeg1019]

Thanks for taking us along‼️ This video was so incredible ‼️

[@5boysandamom]

Truly beautiful!! Thanks!! The graves are so close together....maybe the people were smaller then?

[@valium-fm7236]

There’s a lot of old grave yards here in England that have a lot of Fannys on the headstones. You don’t tend to see any Fannys in grave yards these days

[@kaybutterson599]

Very cool videos u go to some amazing places must b nice to see I person I admire what u do

[@JohnShinn1960]

Thanks Chris! Keep em comin! 😃 👍👍👍

[@muffassa6739]

I loved this video, you have taken us to places that are so incredible. The door was so massive but when you knocked on it I was hoping that someone would answer it. The graveyard incredible the graves were so old. Then the church bells chimes wow. Can't wait to see more of your videos 😍 ☺

[@jamiescountryliving]

Beautiful 😍 door n stain glass. England looks beautiful

[@StephenAndrew777]

I like the curly numbers they seemed to be using in the 1600s.

[@hitech98]

loved seeing everything. thank you!

[@Vibration_Crew]

Yew is what an English long bow is made from.

[@janwarriner6554]

I loved Cotswold the town. Missed this incredible church! I believe Wadsworth is buried in the town cemetery. Great vid.

[@Tyler.i.81]

What a jolly nice chap you are.

[@sjv6598]

We have THOUSANDS of churches like that in the uk. Quite literally one in every town.

[@lisaalexander8196]

That is amazing 1000 years old plus the church and the Cemetery. Very interesting video 😊👍

[@nickmiller76]

Churchyard, not cemetery.

[@lvlndco]

Very cool!

[@thomasschwarting5108]

Love the bells!!

[@jeanaesamuel47]

Cool

[@monaramsey2752]

Loved that movie

[@nancyt2848]

I haven’t watched this yet, but it’s too weird!! I just finished rewatching The Lord of the Rings trilogy on Sunday. (Extended versions of the last two.) And I am currently about 5 minutes in to the first Hobbit movie.

[@samanthab1923]

Loved LOTRs couldn’t get into the Hobbit though. DK why.

[@waitandhope]

Amazing

[@FatherMcKenzie66]

So cool!

[@trixiteresa9887]

Welcome to Cotswolds 💁‍♀️

[@bier00t]

wasn't this church featured in one of the first VR exploration apps on Steam? can't remember the name - was it called Places or something like that?

[@brendamobley]

The beautiful door with two trees. Speak, friend, and enter.

[@sjv6598]

2:55 In the memory of…

[@taslimchoudhary1253]

Awesome Video 🌲💮🇮🇳💮🌲

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

That door is 18th century not 14th.

[@bigc8300]

Ayew tree known as tackses dences formas

[@jason0870]

I don't think modern construction church doors will last 700 yrs from now.

[@internetcensure5849]

🤣

[@becausegang7266]

No way, you are so close to my house. Come to Cheltenham and visit Brian jones grave, it’s in Cheltenham

[@m67scott]

Hard to believe they gravestones have been sitting there for over 400 years

[@sjv6598]

Why? We respect our dead forever.

[@m67scott]

@@sjv6598 I know and it's a good thing! It's interesting and good to be able to read them after all that time.
