This hill is only a few miles from me. I’ve been to the Raven Pub but never visited the hill. I’ll have to check it out 😮😂❤

I love your take on this 😊

I feel your videos would greatly enhance history teaching in schools 😊

Cool can’t wait.

I believe the name Brinklow is an Anglo Saxon distortion, through mispronunciation, of the name BrynLlew or BrynLleu....Bryn (ancient Brythonic/Welsh word for hill) and ancient God Llew or Lleu as in Llew Llaw Gyffes. I've been visiting the site since early childhood, there used to be 5, then 3, old dead Elm trees on the top that were set fire to, and then subsequently removed. As to 'ghost' stories of sightings of figures wearing Victorian era clothing, I used to wear a Top hat and tailcoats in the 70's and 80's, just a thought.

Amazing stuff. Thank you for sharing. Glad they are restoring canals as at one point these served as such an important part of history.

Should get your dates correct. K. John reigned 1199 to 1216. That's not the mid 11th century or anywhere close to it.

Interesting. I’ll have to visit. Great video👍🍻

Rex quandam rexque futurus.

You have excelled yourself! Even by your high standards. Amazingly interesting. That's quite a timeline you've drawn up. I love it when I learn something doing my research for videos too 😊

great video, thanks

nice video and a great spot

nice video and an amazing spot

Thank you for sharing with us my friend,

its amazing, nice one

Thank you for sharing this great footage

A nice and interesting visit, a great looking place!

I do like to hear of canals being restored, as it’s part of our heritage. It’s a shame they had to start again with the undergrowth tho. It’s mad to think they were still used as “recently” as the 1960s. I watched the film the Bargee starring Harry H Corbett and Ronnie Barker a couple of years ago (on YT), it gives a humorous take on the last days of coal being delivered by canal. Nice vid👍

Very interesting it would be great if they got that area cleared and with all the history to go with it. Be a good place to visit. Thanku

WHICH Robin Hood? There were many of them, as many rebels, outlaws etc traditionally took the name Robin and often Hood as well. The reason the Robin Hood legends don't seem to match is they're about several different people.

The historical significance of Ockbrook and its connection to early Christianity in England is truly remarkable. Exploring places like All Saints' Church really brings history to life!

Ockbrook has such a fascinating history! It's amazing to think about how the All Saints' Church has roots going back to the 7th century. 👍

I love learning about these historical sites and their connections to ancient England. 😃

The fact that the church may have been built on a pagan worship site adds so much depth to the area's story.

Having recently moved to Borrowash, it's incredible to discover the rich history right next door in Ockbrook.

A few of us visited the druid wood one summer evening, one of my friends was taking photos of us by the well and the stone and the camera picked up dozens of orbs, we could not believe our eyes when we saw them on the way home in the car! Definitely lots of spiritual energy, you can feel it, thanks for covering this, really interesting 😊

They came, They saw, They conquered ! They never left !!!

Not so hidden now is it......

What a pretty place

nice video, thanks

wow, nice one

Great video and commentary :)

nice video, thanks

Thanks for sharing this piece of Derbyshire's past!

I had no idea Ockbrook had such a rich history! The blend of Christian and pagan roots at All Saints' Church is fascinating. This video has inspired me to visit and explore the village myself.

ello friends good video

nice vid, thanks for sharing

I recently visited Ockbrook, and learning about its history makes it even more special. The fact that All Saints' Church might have been built on a pagan site shows how deep the roots of this village go.

The connection between Ockbrook and Borrowash adds another layer of depth to this historic village.

Excellent 😎

nice one, loved it

What an interesting look into Ockbrook's past! It's amazing to learn how the village has evolved over the centuries, with All Saints' Church standing as a testament to its enduring history

Ockbrook's history is truly captivating. It's incredible how the church has been a part of the village since the early Christian settlers arrived.

great video, thanks

What a fascinating history! It's amazing to think that All Saints' Church has roots going back to the 7th century.

wow nice one

There was a Moravian church & School in a village near where I grew-up. I looked similar in style. What was the word you used for the alleyway? Not heard that before.

I grew up in Alsager and I could see Mow Cop from my bedroom window. Always loved a trip up there for a quick walk round and up to the folly.

Another place to add to my places to go and it can’t be more than 20 miles from me 👍

I do love history. It's just amazing what you learn. That helps understand our ancestors. The architecture is beautiful and loved the story of the little boy. LOL drunk the pub dry LOL . I just love churches for that reason. Fascinating history here.
