Thanks 🙏

Yes, an eagle soaring high over our intergalactic friendship....0)!

Yep. Chins up! 🤗

@@HimInChurch I'm so sorry. I responded on the wrong video. Though I visit your channel and always 'thumbs up' 🙂

No worries - we’ll muddle through 🤭😜

Thanks for the helpful information 🤗👍

Lovely to hear 👂👂 Thanks 🤗

Glad to hear it, thanks 🤗

Cheers Felix! Just finished visiting another one today as well 🫣🤗🥳 Yes, we enjoyed our epic race 🏇🐎🏁 Hope you are well. Keep rocking USA!

That's very helpful information. Thank you for sharing 🤗

Glad you enjoyed it. Which was your favourite bit? 🤔

Hello Indonesia. Yes, it is still used for mass. Thanks for commenting 🤗

@HimInChurch Thank you, thank you for the info and reply. always healthy for you and your family. God bless

Blessings to you too 🤗

Wow. I’ve been contacted by a few people who have family links - it’s nice to hear that these visits are reaching people with family connections. Thanks for commenting 🤗

Glad you enjoyed it 🤗

You’re welcome 🤗

You mean you weren't transported from your piano stool? 🙀. You must have been 'sofa-ing the internet' 😜 💒 Have a great day 'pond'ering 🫠😶‍🌫️

You're welcome!

My pleasure, Wendy. Thank you for your helpful comments, too 🤗

Yes, the elephants were “Hi” up in the sky…;0). Have a nice lunch 🍧🤗

Glad you enjoyed it 👍

I’m not entirely certain, but from Google (!) it says ‘Earliest part the chancel consecrated in 1315. Perpendicular tower and nave; the tower, which is crenellated, was refaced in 1895 at the time of the extensive restoration by Sir Giles Scott. Chantry rebuilt early C16. C18 vestry. Memorial cloister 1887. Whittall chapel 1922, by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. Good C15 monuments include the Beauchamp and Cokesey tombs and various brasses.’

28:08 love to see a knights Templar emblem on that table! Very cool!

I really appreciate the feedback. Thank you. 🤗

Ah. I hadn’t picked up on that - thank you for pointing that out 👍👍👍

Yes. I agree. A wonderful place, energised by wonderful ladies. I hope the video encourages more people to visit it, to enjoy the artefacts and atmosphere. 🙏

So glad you enjoyed it, Elaine 🤗

Also yay coffee! About to get one over here too. Cheers!

Magnificent places and coffee - what's not to like? 🤗🥳 Have a great daaay!

Hello Francis. Very well said. I must admit that I’d called on the off chance, that day. Still, there’s hope, as yesterday I came across some specific opening times (which I’ve added to the description) - so, I shall check my own description when I’m next that way, and will surely get in! Thanks for commenting.

Ooh - well spotted! 🤗

Thank you very much!

Cheers Felix. The day is closing here but I thank you for the lovely sentiment. Zzzzzzz 🥱 😴😴😴

@@HimInChurch Goodnight from across the pond! 🌙

I’m so pleased for you that you were able to revisit your ancestors this way. 🤗

Cheers Felix. Always great to hear from you. So glad you liked the music and scenery. All the best 😘

Yes, the interplay between light and dark is very special in these places. My smartphone is pretty good at capturing the light in seemingly unworkable and dark, gloomy interiors, so I've been especially pleased with my purchase. I'm glad you got to see a church interior that you weren't aware of. 🤗

I don't really know that sort of information. Though, I visited Duntisbourne Rous, nearish, in Gloucestershire (video on my yt channel) and it was only when I came home I learnt there is an external door to a crypt. Don't know if that's any use to you?

@@HimInChurch I can see the crypt on Google, but the external door not obvious though. You can see the window at the back; its above ground. Thank you for your reply. P.S Rothwell, Northamptonshire

Thank you for your comments. Personally, I like Simon Jenkins book (and also a guy called lionel whose website is www.greatenglishchurches.co.uk) - they're both enthusiastic, more knowledgable than me (who's is at the beginning of a journey, really) and great resources. I do tend to blunder around led by my curiousity - I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the church is a bit higgly piggly and I agree that's no bad thing! The next one (released saturday 12.00) is interesting too...;0)!

@@HimInChurch Hadn't heard of the second gentleman before! Thanks for the steer! Keep "blundering curiously" I say! Jenkins is an authority for sure, but nobody has the definitive word. Thats the beauty of our churches; they're so rich in history theres still much to be discovered and understood. We're incredibly lucky to have them! Looking forward to seeing where gets the Him In Church treatment next! :)

@sammyb1651 Glad I've steered you to Lionel - his reviews always mention Simon Jenkins and he offers his own contrasting opinions. I've visited many churches that aren't considered book worthy and usually find there's some merit in them - I was at St Laurence, Kidderminster last week (scheduled for 3 weeks hence) and imho it's terrific but not mentioned worthy it seems, by those who know! I'll maintain my blundering approach as I've had so many fulfilling days chatting to strangers/new temporal friends in them - it's been a delight. Next week's release is a trip to Lydiard Tregose, Swindon (which has a rare triptych) - it's a good un (and near where I live). Hope you enjoy it.

My pleasure 🤗

Actually, the door is always unlocked. The first two times, I went in winter and couldn't open it as it was too stiff, but have been a third time and got in! I haven't had a chance to edit the video yet but the elephants are well worth seeing. Good luck 🤗👍 NB. The church in welford is really nice too

Did you get in? 🤔

I did thank you, as you say though, the door was really stiff

Glad to hear it 👍

@@HimInChurch I did thank you, hope to get video up soon 😊

Hi. I do occasionally look at gravestones - the trouble is I'm attempting to include as much detail of the sites that I can and keep the videos as concise as possible - the two ideologies don't sit very well together, in the time I have available and editing takes ages, so I've had to severely limit the gravestone aspects. I mainly include them if they've got some particular feature of interest. for example - bale tombstones, which have an unusual shape. Glad you like the content - it makes it worthwhile to hear good feedback! 🤗👍

Oh really? Thanks for that information. 🤗

Interesting thought. You may be right. I don’t really know enough about such things. Thanks for commenting - someone else might know for sure. 🤗

Sorry to hear that's happening! There are some beautiful mosques around but it would be a shame to lose our own valuable heritage. I have no religious persuasion but think there's a place for us all!

@@HimInChurch another one with their eyes closed obviously you don’t live in London or the surrounding areas or maybe Birmingham or Bradford not only are they taking over our churches they are digging up our beautiful old headstones from the graves. There is no room for Islam. All they want is to take over, we’re not allowed to ring our church bills out but they are allowed to call for prayer five times a day bloody noise

Again, sorry to hear that. It seems too much to ask that we live in peace together, whatever our religious outlooks.

Glad you enjoyed it - yes, it was a lot of steps!

Hello!!!!!!

Thanks for taking us on another adventure! Very cool and interesting church. Hope you have an awesome day : )

@@FelixSunMusic 😂👍

@@FelixSunMusic Thanks Felix. Hope you enjoyed lunch 🤗

Thanks, Felix. I'm actually sat in another church (cafe) having lunch just now - Ludlow, Herefordshire, England. Hope you had a nice brekky!
