Are there any drawings of Langley Hall?

lovely place and not easy to find, the key was chained to the door last year so I guess someone abused it

Nice!

Loved this!

I got to go in there, with my best friend, and fellow church explorer. We went to Acton Burnell Church and Castle, amazing, and the church was exquisite, with a carving of Lord Bishop Burnell too, as well as later stained glass, and not as ornate not as many, but quite amazing carved church beastly stone corbels to the outside, amazing tombs inc. a very early monumental knights brass, piscinas, door recesses to barricade with a timber, in case of violence, even some plaster and medieval decoration too. We went there, so I could understand Lord Bishop Burnell and Nantwich Church, in Cheshire, coz he built the earlier of what little survives of his parts of his earlier church there, which was mainly replaced before and after the mid to late 14th C Black Death, by another chap who like Burnell, was strong with the Plantagenet royals. I included his stone portrait and the Victorian Stained glass image of him, in my recent unofficial guide to St Mary's Church, Nantwich. It was well worth the visit! And the Catholic with nuns graveyard next to the Churchyard, was interesting. A protestant church graveyard side by side with a Catholic one. Then we ventured to Acton Burnell Castle, right by the church, absolutely amazing 13th C extensive ruined structure, and sadly the Parliament Barn is inside a school, but thru the hedge, we got some photos of its ruined only remaining stone gables, in whose walls the first parliament held with commoners! In Langley, the roof timbers esp. around the belfry are quite unusual and interesting. The pulpit is interesting, quite puritan. Nothing much else to see, unlike Acton Burnell Church. If you go to the Acton Burnell Church and Castle, if folk outside the school wonder what you're doing, just say you're looking for the church and castle, and hang a right on the lane, Infront of the school gates and security, loads of space to park, and explore as long as you wish. After driving from Langley, not far away from Acton Burnell, there's an amazing Medieval into Elizabethan gatehouse like hall towards the east. We had a hare jump out infront of the car, and slowly followed it for about a mile, until it found a bolt hole, really amazing experience. I'm from South Cheshire, and it's rare you see a hare. We then went to Wroxeter Roman City, and walked from the EH car park, to Wroxeter Church. I really recommend going there, even if you don't want to go to the Roman City ruins and pay for the EH car park, drive thru it to the church, and park up, and visit. Roman remains, amazing ornate chest tombs with original paint, font made out of a Roman pillar capital, and just a really amazing church, with Far more than I can fit on here to see! Thanks again Third Rate Content, I love following your no messing about explorations, and have quite a few places to visit, or revisit, hopefully when the weather improves this year, thanks bro! 👍 Church Roulette, I think we all have experienced that, and it's a great term lol! And yep, sometimes you can go to a church, and even after multiple visits, you always find something you have never spotted before! Seek and Ye Shall Find! 👍😁👍

Love a good church explore.

I lived there for a short time several years ago. Many happy memories there, including of Richard and his team at The Castle.

Meadhan an Tol Ghaidhlig middle of hole. Men an tol Cornish for middle of hole.

Terrific! Loved seeing this! May be visiting in March from USA (need a brake from our political junk)!

On August the 5th, every year the Orthodox from Shrewsbury and St Oswald's Parish Church in Oswestry take a short pilgrimage to the well to be blessed.

'The ring and finger' ...Exceedingly evocative nomenclature that.

You didn't mention the uderground tunnel linking Royal house to Cefncaer approximately 4 miles away.

That was brill, got to visit there! 👍

Thanks for this. I thought Men an Tol in Cornwall was the only one of its kind. I’m the same as you- I’m on Insta but can’t make much sense of how to use it

Excellent video.

I am quite sure from my own experience that such places are time displacers,I have heard stories of people who disappeared never to be seen again,it almost happened to me,but I escaped being marooned in the past ,taken by the fairys as they say in eire...I wonder if those people of the past experienced time distortions into our present...?😮😅

I experienced a time slip whilst entering a passage grave in co limerick some years ago,😮😅

Maybe the ring was a portal to another world.. ?😮😅

This looks like a good walk, and now I know what I was looking at across the sea from our trips to Aberdovvy! Amazing, thanks Dan.

merci, diolch, thanks most handsome dan...

Beautiful shots again Dan. Also a mention of Arthur Machen! Delighted to say that even though you have issued two vlogs, mine is still a little different and got a reasonable number of views on my main channel.

Nice tour👍 seen the stumps in tywyn after a storm

I reckon its a petrified tree that was fallen before being petrified, if u look at the tree that is alive next to it, it has a black line going all the way down where it has been struck by lightening, so prob lightening bolt that caused it. Also will be why its known as devils, and ancient lore talks bout trees being portals, go figure. Makes perfect sense to me. But hey ho, I am just a nutter. Take me or leave me.

I didn't expect to hear about Prince Corum of the Scarlet Robe in this video! I bet you enjoyed the second series of books with their ties to Gaelic folklore even more! Michael Moorcock could well be my favourite author

Have you visited Gawtons Well in knypersley, its a very atmospheric place.

I think some folk would pass sick children through the hole in the hopes that the spirit that dwelt in the grove would heal them. Another legend about holed stones was that young women who were just married or about to be married would be passed through the stone to make her fertile and produce strong and healthy children.

Another nuisance in the woods disturbing all the wildlife

Last time i went maybe two years ago they were working near the farm so the footpath was diverted but there is a small wood the footpath goes to the top of the hill parallel to the small wood the devils ring and finger is visible if you look through the wood atthe top of the hill it is the other side of the wood

It's on a footpath I have been loads of times but you have to park near the church or the park and walk down

Hay I think U should look up and contact Maria Wheatley master dowser and get her to investigate and dowse and I bet there's significant earth energy/lay line cross over or such..just by how U expressed Ur feelings about that environment. Worth a shot

We love finding old pillboxes. That's a stunning bridge. That's a very different style of pillbox to the ones around here (north wales). Great video. Cheers 🍻

At borth June 2025 in caravan Very interesting video nice place just ashame could do with more shops and things nice if you get good weather

The devils sphincter did he say?

Niemand sollte wissen wo es steht, je weniger desto besser

Wonderful splendid.

Britain's hidden history with Ross was a brilliant channel, unfortunately died and it's never been the same since although they still have good people on.

I live is south Staffordshire.

Shrewsbury is a lovely city.

Shropshire is lovely.

No your 1st rate buddy.

I don't rate the content.

There's Wells very similar in southern France and northern Spain with stone roots but the well featured aspect with the steps very similar.

I would love to go traveling around the hidden places of Britain.

That pagan souter was one good looking A.i. created being.

The finger is natural btw

If I was living in a different era I would have loved to have used the ring to get a sense of moving through time, I used to use the wardrobe as a child to pretend it was a lift into space 😀 It’s s fantastic piece of history by the look of it.

I live close by but wasn’t aware of it so visited this morning. Beautiful little village and The Devil’s Ring was only a short walk from the community car park, well worth a visit. I met a few friendly locals along the way who were very happy to direct me as well as recommend a few other local ‘attractions’. Thanks for introducing me to this wonderful place.

Hi..I ponder if that site has ever been excavated at all..🤔🤔🤔 Thank you for your time 🙏

Never heard of this Midlands version of the Men a Tol.I have read the Cornish Men a Tol is the remains of a Neolithic tomb so most likely that one would be too.The hole 🕳️ might have represented the move from one life to another?
