Good video! Thinking of visiting soon, do you know if I would have to pay to get on the platform?

They did not deserve that.

There are more hobby horses not just the sailors jorse

Great docu btw, well put together

I spent many happy hours sitting in its little chapel before it got all touristy, with a built experience centre. It was so peaceful for meditation

I'm wondering about local parish records. Might they hold information about Ann Rice and any subsequent births, potential marriage and death?

Perfect little documentary! Not exactly a god-botherer myself but the stories of Dissolution never fail to stir some measure of sadness.

Excellent mini-doc! Just subscribed and look forward to more of your videos. Greetings from the beautiful Hudson Valley.

Pardoned by the crown of what? That would be a further travesty. His only crime was that of being a Catholic.

And still today your average Englishman harbors a visceral hatred of Catholics

I used to skydive at Dunkeswell most weekends weather permitting.

This is a fascinating video of a piece of history of which I was not aware. I visited Glastonbury Abbey a few years back now and also visited the Bishop's Gardens.

I always loved the atmosphere of the Abbey and the little chapel dedicated to St Anne (I think?) A historically important story and a lovely video.

That was really interesting (and very gruesome). I don’t think I have heard that before and history often goes over my head, but I am likely to remember it now as you narrated and illustrated it so engagingly. I was staying near the Tower of London the other day and was thinking it’s high time that I go back to refresh my faded childhood memories of it. When I do visit, I will remember this story about Whiting being taken there. A really enjoyable vídeo Luke with gorgeous Glastonbury scenery too.

and 4 is IIII XD?

I live here 👍

I live in Somerset

I live near evercreetch

There was a rail spur (reportedly from the main rail tunnel), into a very different and much larger Mendips bunker. Dad said he'd been involved in supplying machine tools for it, supposedly for building an aeroengine factory. Hesaid it was plagued with poor industrial relations and never produced anything.

This sounds such an interesting tradition and lots of fun. I have not been able to see it yet myself in person, but would love to one year, Another fabulous video! TH-cam suggested your showreel to me too. I really enjoyed seeing that compilation of superbly narrated and presented stories. Your presentation and editing are really engaging. You are brilliant on the radio and you’d be equally brilliant on TV too.

Its actually not just a May Day tradition. I think you need to do some googling before you go posting a video about something that you know nothing about… The other may day hobby horse tradition is in Padstow and the other (not May day) is the hunting of the Earl of Rone

I see this every year

Good enough reason.

I often pass here on the way to Wells, gonna see the clock irl next time. Funny how Somerset is actually seeing some attention

I was fixated on the four being "IIII" instead of "IV".

It was my 5×uncle who painted the Roman numerals on that clock thats my claim to fame anyway 😂

I'm from wookey hole 😊

😢😢😭😭😭😭😭

Gosh, what memories to have to live with! Thanks Luke! This has really made me think and wonder how I would have reacted in the same same situation.

Really interesting! Looking forward to Part 2 :-)

Far more likely the man given the perilous task of painting on the clock numerals in 1788 was innumerate. In those days you counted sheep by putting a straw in a pot for each one, and if a straw was left over after getting them through the gate, you knew to go looking for a lost sheep. That however doesn’t tell as good a story.

Can you do videos about Bridgwater 🥺🥺🥺

I love somerset

Also the number 4 is wrong but you find that in a lot of clocks

Don't bother going to Evercreech, it's a shit boring town.

Not utterly effective as the german version of "Oboe" , called "Knickebein" led them to their targets at night

Love your little shorts. As a Bridgwater lad and a lover of history it's great to see and hear new stuff.... You should do some videos on the old S&D line

Thought this was going to erupt into X Gonna Give it To Ya.

Lol I always thought what that church was about

I live near here lol

Some years ago I found a bunker on the hills above Clydach in the Swansea valley. I took some research to discover it was a former Starfish site.

Does coming back at 11am count?

huh never noticed and im from shepton haha

I live near here

You'd enjoy the Middlesbrough starfish bunker. Lots of litter usually but plenty of local litter pickers. It's cool to see the original and know more history of them

They done the same here Norfolk UK starfish sites and col turner and dummy airfields brilliant video thank you for sharing with us 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Interesteing

Looks exactly like the one on crow hill outside halifax

I'm creeped out I live near here

I didn't guess, I saw that the X was missing. If I was guessing, I'd answer that the clock runs backwards or never tells the correct time.
