@@alittlebitofhistory when you said that he had no fire wood to burn to heat water up to make a cup of tea did you mean that he had run out of fire wood? I don't think burning a wooden flute on its own would give enough heat to boil his kettle
How I love to hear about those folk who have unforgettable ‘ Character ‘ ! What a great story to listen to , I look forward to more 😊 What a dear old boy he was . 🌹
Wonderful! A man who very much seems on The Spectrum who succeeded greatly and made life work for him instead of him having to fit in with people. Thankyou what a hopeful story x
In my opinion your telling his tale is a far better "marker" reaching a much broader audience than a stone in a church yard might ever do. Thank you, very interesting.
@@alittlebitofhistory I'm far away in British Columbia, Canada and not likely to come across all these lovely stories. You've brought them to the world. Thanks.
What you might be missing here (or just not mentioning) is that John Fransham was clearly what we would now describe as 'neurodiverse'. For those of us who share that affliction, your approach, research, and delivery is interested, neutral, and accepting. This is a very good video - thank you.
A truly well-documented tale and superbly narrated. From the moment you started and pronounced the word 'Norwich', I was captivated. Thank you for sharing.
What a great guy. I wish l could be more like him!! 😊 This is how we should live our lives. To the full, gaining knowledge and adapting to what comes your way. My favourite saying is...life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain. ❤
Wonderful story, what a really interesting character he was, we all have our ways, eccentric I can relate to , he did sound a good man, with all his unusual ways , he didn't hurt anyone, god bless him, thank you for telling some of his story ,really enjoyed it ,what a pity you couldn't find where he was laid to rest 🙂
Loving these little snippets of history from a familiar place to me... Any chance of an upcoming film about Billy Bluelight? As you have shown in this and other films, there is much to be discovered in Norwich... Thanks for sharing!
Fascinating! I think if I were his parents I would have been worried sick about him - but he seems to have done alright for himself. 23:30 That remark about the apple pie and a beautiful young woman is hilarious. =D
What a guy!! Loved this story, thank you very much. Perhaps it’s quite fitting that his grave is gone. Maybe even in death he just upped and left! Good man John 😁👍
Wow! Many thanks... what a life. I'm enjoying all your well-researched offerings, especially Borrow who I'm told I am related. Just an aside ... "gaol" is the same as "jail" (no hard G) ... gaolers are jailors and pronounced the same, sorry for nitpicking x
I find it off-putting and annoying when TH-camrs start to beg or sell out to commercialism. I tend to drift away from them when that happens. This is a very personal channel borne of love of history, location and research. It would be a great shame to spoil it. I know art for art's sake doesn't pay bills but it is enriching in other ways.
I remember one telling me I should become an insurance agent like my dad who did ok. Sons often follow father's but that choice seemed rather boring to me. But with hindsight it was probably good advice - never met a poor finance industry worker.
What a wonderful man you brought to us. However did you uproot such detail about his life? Eccentrics are to be treasured, they show alternatives to the boring norm. My wife and I are both a little "quirky" and that is possibly what brought us together later in life than most. Eccentricity must be cultivated and nurtured, beautiful alternative plants might grow.
I believe there are libraries of them for sale, or, as in this case bespoke writers. Too busy was a bit of a misnomer, too lazy or incompetent more likely. Not much is what it seems in religion, I saw through it many years ago as a teenager.
I really enjoyed this story. Well told I must say. I like the shoe part of the story. He was right about the Greeks, in Oregon they lowered the standards in education again. They just pass you through, no matter the effort or the grades. I don't think he would have approved.
I can't really judge that myself that is how school is in the UK anyway, you can't get held back, but no I don't think he would of been happy about things working like that.
I would not be shocked in the slightest if he did, I did think about bringing that up but as I know next to nothing about it I didn't want to get it totally wrong.
Great work again. Was I the only person who felt a red flag with the 'churchman' taking a liking to the young teenage John Fransham and gifting him with enough cash buy a horse? Maybe I'm getting to cynical, lol.
I don't doubt your suspicions. We now know a lot more about the goings on that can occur in the clergy and religion generally. Not at all like the image they like to cultivate.
Due to my work its difficult to arrange we don't get our weekly schedules until Sunday so I can't plan weeks ahead but if I am able to I thinking about Sat 12th I will make an announcement in the next couple days if so.

I found this very interesting, a life of a man I had previously not known. He lived his life on his own terms. Thank you for sharing this upload.
What a fantastic guy, thank you for talking about him.
What you might be missing here (or just not mentioning) is that John Fransham was clearly what we would now describe as 'neurodiverse'. For those of us who share that affliction, your approach, research, and delivery is interested, neutral, and accepting. This is a very good video - thank you.
He was a unique, fascinating individual. I'm glad that he was able to live as he wanted.
Fascinating character. Imagine the conversations you could have.
Indeed, you would even move your loom to facilitate them ;-)
Your fried from SE TN here. Great stuff! Thanks for finding this and bringing it to light.
Again I was glued to the the story.
Well presented and I thank you.
With regards and best wishes from Loutraki Greece.
I love Norwich - it's a great place to visit. And I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Brilliant!
Brilliant video. Extremely entertaining. Many thanks for making this.
Sounds like a very practical impractical man. Or is that an impractical practical one? Eccentrics make life a little more fun. Stay safe.🤗
That Quaker exchange is hilarious 🤣, thanks for a fantastic video
Very interesting and quite entertaining. Thank you for your research and time.
Thank you. This was an amazing video of a strangely amazing man. Loved it.
Wow, this sure was a wild ride! I really like how you cover these lesser known but incredibly fascinating stories 😊
Thank you for making these videos. I have lived in Norwich for 28 years and it is fascinating to learn about the region's past and its characters.
A truly well-documented tale and superbly narrated. From the moment you started and pronounced the word 'Norwich', I was captivated. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. I like the way you narrate. The man is a fascinating character.
I’ve just found this channel. I really enjoyed watching/listening to the story. I was captivated. Going to sub right now 👍
Thank you and welcome
Keep up the good work fella and stay safe
Lovely to watch and listen. Thank you

Most enjoyable story. Your stories are so well done.
Sir, your channel is such a pleasant and enlightening place to spend some quality time, thank you and remember I'll be watching 👀!!!🙏👌🦉❣️
His humour close to death is somewhat of a eulogy to himself.
What an interesting person he was!
Excellent content. Ive subscribed. Thankyou very informative and well put together ❤
Fascinating and entertaining.
Thanks enjoyed that very interesting
Thanks for that a very interesting character
He lived his life his way 👏👏

Already covered him, there is a link to his video right at the start of this one.
Thank you 🤗
I love the sound of this man, I would definitely want to be friends with him 😁 fascinating 👍🌺✌️
fascinating

Good alternatives to smelling salts to stimulate a reaction. Apple pie is lovely...
What a trip! This guy was one seriously unique dude!!
They Certainly broke the mould when they made John.
Oh Wow , what a great story so we'll narrated , John was some Man for one Man .
Excellent
What a guy!! Loved this story, thank you very much. Perhaps it’s quite fitting that his grave is gone. Maybe even in death he just upped and left! Good man John 😁👍
"..from here, he began to flit between jobs that suited him, and interested him.."
See, if a Norwich eccentric can do it, so can I!
Wow! Many thanks... what a life. I'm enjoying all your well-researched offerings, especially Borrow who I'm told I am related.
Just an aside ... "gaol" is the same as "jail" (no hard G) ... gaolers are jailors and pronounced the same, sorry for nitpicking x
No it is fine I have only ever seen it written when I made though videos I have since corrected it in newer ones.
Excellent output... as usual... 👍
Love your vids. Very impressive research. You should set up a payment system so people can send you a couple of quid.
Maybe one day, not really something I want to do at the moment.

@@philiptownsend4026 I can't see anything wrong with people making a few bob from their efforts.
This is what happens when you listen to a Norfolk Careers Advisor.
LOL! U got me with that one. I listened to one 25 years ago, if could see my life now you'd think I should sue them.
I remember one telling me I should become an insurance agent like my dad who did ok. Sons often follow father's but that choice seemed rather boring to me.
But with hindsight it was probably good advice - never met a poor finance industry worker.
My great-grandfather was from Norwich.
Loved it ❣️
Excellent video
The Turnip story must be real ! you couldn't make that one up. Bladrick comes to mind.
What a wonderful man you brought to us. However did you uproot such detail about his life?
Eccentrics are to be treasured, they show alternatives to the boring norm.
My wife and I are both a little "quirky" and that is possibly what brought us together later in life than most.
Eccentricity must be cultivated and nurtured, beautiful alternative plants might grow.
Thankfully between a book on people of Norwich and other online sources I was able to take bits from all of them to make a fuller picture of his life.
Loved this account of an unusual man.
Your best presentation İ've heard sö far. İ'd say möre but some höuu my type choices are nouu Arabic or this, Turk, i think.
I will think of him when I am next on the heath
Lol I didn’t realize priests outsourced their Sunday sermons. That’s hilarious.
Not priests. Vicars. Protestants.
@@hannahreynolds7611 Didn't know that. Thanks.

Excellent that going to Scotland is what a turnip-eater thinks of doing.
Seeing the turnips made him think immediately of a Scottish university education.
@@andrewemery4272 St Andrews maybe ?
Best city in the world

Sounds like he may have had ASD
I would not be shocked in the slightest if he did, I did think about bringing that up but as I know next to nothing about it I didn't want to get it totally wrong.
Tell a dumb Texican what ASD mean?
Hi, I’d like to suggest a story you might be interested in. Can you tell me how to message you please?
Sounds interesting. If you go onto the about, section of my channel you can find an email or you can just comment it here if you want.
I'd like to know more about the legend of The Green Man of the woods and forests. Lots to research there I suspect.
👍👍👍👍❤
Sounds like Aspergers
Great work again. Was I the only person who felt a red flag with the 'churchman' taking a liking to the young teenage John Fransham and gifting him with enough cash buy a horse? Maybe I'm getting to cynical, lol.
I don't doubt your suspicions.
We now know a lot more about the goings on that can occur in the clergy and religion generally.

I do wonder whether John was what we would term today as a high functioning autistic person. What a marvellous life in my humble opinion.
