Titchfield Abbey Ruins Explored

[@rebeccabsomanybooks3558]

New subscriber. Love your channel. I plan on visiting England next year. From the US. Keep the videos coming.

[@RichardVobes]

Thanks so much!

[@TheRamblingsofBry]

Wow, what an impressive building or collection of buildings, I hope you do a longer video at some point, incredible place....

[@RichardVobes]

It is an incredible place indeed.

[@Stringtrees]

Lovely video -thanks Richard and Julia. I must go and visit. I love old buildings-I often think about the people who built it-imagining them laying the stones, what their lives were like and how different our world is to the one they knew.

[@RichardVobes]

What a different life they must have had. So pleased you enjoyed the video.

[@Gez-C]

Remember going here many years ago and such a beautiful place! Bit further afield is Netley Abbey in Southampton which is really lovely

[@RichardVobes]

These ruins are very evocative.

[@984francis]

One of the great things about watching stuff on the computer is that one can look up anything. So "dorter" refers to a dormitory, especially in a monastery or abbey.

[@RichardVobes]

I should have known that! Thanks for looking it upon my behalf. :)

[@annosborne7365]

Thank you Julia and Richard for a brilliant video, yes please more of the same would be lovely.

[@RichardVobes]

Lovely to wander around old ruins.

[@damianjones7554]

A lovely ruin. I'd have loved to have seen it in its prime. 😊 👍 👍 👍

[@RichardVobes]

It must have looked spectacular.

[@tectorama]

We love going around places such as this. Something I have enjoyed doing since my parents used to take me around castles and abbeys when I was a youngster. It's a shame that so many have no interest at all in visiting these old ruins.

[@RichardVobes]

We were luck to have it to ourselves the day we visited.

[@paulpj5988]

Thank you Lovely Julia and your good self Richard. for this marvellous abbey ruin, that was some entrance door.

[@RichardVobes]

The gate house was extremely impressive!

[@PortsladeBySea]

Lovely film! I must visit Titchfield Abbey which looks an impressed medieval building. Have you and the the Lovely Julia visited Portchester Castle which is nearby? It is a wonderful building set in an amazing coastal location...one of the best in England! 👍

[@RichardVobes]

I have been there and funnily enough, we mentioned on route, that we ought to visit it.

[@whysa4]

What a great place, will have to add that to my list of places to visit one day.

[@RichardVobes]

Oh you must!

[@georginacox3909]

Nice view across when you both looked at the well.

[@georginacox3909]

Yes.Morning.

[@RichardVobes]

Thank you

[@georgetimperley8906]

That was a nice video, I do agree with there being parts missing from the buildings, so you yourself can fill in the gaps. but it I think is still a great shame it hasn't survived. That is a loverly plage great one 👍

[@RichardVobes]

So pleased you enjoyed it, George.

[@WiltshireMan]

That was an interesting explore. Your getting closer to Wiltshire:) Yes, take the drone next time:)

[@RichardVobes]

Will do! Closer to Wiltshire - will be getting to you soon.

[@WiltshireMan]

Give me some notice as I have a contact with the Coleshill group. Hopefully can get some special permissions to get access to the bunkers

[@ramibu239]

Great choice Julia!!! Wonderful old ruin! So sad it is in this state now, but as you said Richard at least there is something still there to fuel the imagination. Btw...it was Shap Abbey (not Shot) that Robert took you to.

[@RichardVobes]

Ah yes, Shap - I am glad someone has a better memory than i!

[@MrGreatplum]

What a fabulous place and how amazing you had it to yourselves! I can imagine with the different stages of development it must be hard for historians to find out what was what!

[@RichardVobes]

A lovely place to wander and wonder.

[@diddyreason]

One has to wonder what it looked like when first built. Great movie, thank you both.

[@RichardVobes]

It must have been amazing in its day!

[@davidkitchen7941]

Great location. I suspect that some of those 'fireplaces' were in fact ovens.

[@Red_____________]

Beautiful ruins 👍🏻

[@LilyHeartsCosmetics]

Really enjoyed this, fascinating. You’d really enjoy looking around the cowdray ruins :)

[@RichardVobes]

Oh yes, I have been there and have yet to make a video about it.

[@merietgenealogy]

Fantastic looking ruins. Dorter = Dormitory

[@RichardVobes]

Ah, yes, thanks for that.

[@ramibu239]

For anyone interested in learning more about Titchfield Abbey: www.abandonedspaces.com/public/titchfield-abbey.html Included is a sketch from the 1700's showing what it looked like before it was tore down.

[@RichardVobes]

How interesting. Thanks for that.

[@AlannahRyane]

I can imagine Edward De Vere 17th Earl of Oxford (and Skake-speare )here visiting his lover Henry

[@RichardVobes]

Can you indeed.

[@varkony60]

This Abbey is the key to the real Shakespeare. And I realized it by chance, by mere chance yesterday. How curious. Thank you for this fascinating video.

[@RichardVobes]

So pleased you got something out of it. :)

[@varkony60]

@@RichardVobes Well, actually seeing this video is a consequence. I'd been trying to find a link between Henry Wriothesley and the year of 1222 for years. And on Saturday I realized that this Abbey was founded in 1222. It's really crucial. He was the addressee of the Shakespeare sonnets, and I can show it in a visible form.

[@RichardVobes]

I am so pleased that Julia and I helped put you on the right road, as it were.

[@tomkibbe835]

Fascinating.. by all means return.

[@MrNas42]

Very like a mini Cowdray. Similar date too, but a very different history. Dorter = Dormitory (mid English)

[@RichardVobes]

I must return to Cowdray one day!

[@barkyracing500]

Lovely little video

[@justtruth5855]

Have you noticed how Hans Holbein the younger pictures all look simular? one of my +granddads looks totally miserable. Had to check out a few times that he was not Thomas Cromwell. Going to get a map so i can mark of the places you visit, its a light bulb moment ;-) ps yesterday went to donate and when i typed your name there was no link to it. will try again tomoz.

[@RichardVobes]

Definitely worth a visit. Visit BaldExplorer.com to become a patron. Or make a one off donation www.paypal.me/RichardVobes

[@michaelwhite8031]

That gateway must be on a par with Hampton Court Palace. I hope the National trust is taking care of it. Do you know who the Lord was that owned it ? By the way what happened to the Titchfield Thunderbolt ?

[@JuliaHartley]

Titchfield, not to be confused with Titfield hehe
