Magical, pastoral Pitchcombe, a gem indeed ! And worthy of exploration and discovery - provided it remains a gem. Let Painswick draw the madding crowd. The hamlet and its surroundings endure thanks to the local inhabitants and not least to the efforts of the Caruthers-Littles. With gratitude from your Canadian kinsmen. It is good to see the old family seat again in all its Georgian dignity. Mr. Shuckburgh's videos are lyrical, beautiful, informed and so very much appreciated. I'm eager for more. Bravo ! With regards again from far off old Dominion.

It's never a chore to watch Robin show lovely little out-of-the-way villages and places.

Oh, to be in England now that spring is here….. such a lovely place , many thanks for showing perhaps one of the last blessed old places. Hopefully it will remain as it is.

A wonderful village which I visited often when staying with my aunt in Painswick. Not as remote as you think evidenced on the video showing the bus passing along the main road en route I think from Cheltenham to Stroud. I am sure you have visited but maybe not on video the wonderful Painswick Beacon. Not a village as such but the 360 degree views from the trig point on an early spring morning are as good as any in the Cotswolds. Thank you for the video.

What a gem!

Delightful video of an enchanting 'combe' which certainly merits a visit - though its a very distant memory for me. I believe there is a bus from Stroud.

[@sylviabartsch6205]

Sunny sunday, blessed old places and a good description trough you and your team. I always enjoy it.

[@Mistydazzle]

Beautiful - thank you! I wish I was there.

[@aariley2]

Huh? How do you build a church over another, destroy the first and the new one not collapse!?!!

[@helenbailey8419]

Very carefully...

[@CaruthersHodge]

Yes indeed, I was wondering rather about that, building a church on top of a church. It reminds me of a memorable narrative from Monty Python with reference to the castle built on a swamp and more of the same until one stayed up. Obviously in Pitchcombe they doubtless knew what they were doing - no jokes there to be made I'm sure. My grandfather was an architect and indeed knew this church well. I dare say he could have easily explained the process to me.

[@helenbailey8419]

Thats what a village hall should look like
