Brilliant Dan ! Brought back happy memories of a St Joseph Convent school trip we went on back in 1968 . It certainly is a spiritual place and full of intriguing history . Thankyou 🌟🌟🌟
I love these videos! I'm sorry to say that often the background soundtrack dominates the narrators voices. Even the subtitles can't make out the dialogue. Is it just me? Anyone else having this problem?
Interesting fact: England footballer Lucy Bronze, one of the Lionesses currently playing in the Women’s World Cup, actually lived on Lindesfarne as a kid. I didn’t even know people still lived there. Lucy’s middle name is Tough. Which seems fitting for someone who grew up on that island.
Lindisfarne is much more important to the history of England than this video suggests, it was the island the English sheltered on when Urien of Rheged drove them out of Northumbria. Without Lindisfarne, the North of Britain would possibly still be Welsh.
extremely interesting video, but sometimes I wonder if the Vikings or King Henry VIII were more destructive; I believe the Tudor dynasty laid the foundation for modern England, but erased its past. My comment is absolutely not intended to be polemical, but as a non-Englishman I would like to know your thoughts. Thank you
Nope. Not even 2 minutes in and the dramatic "background" music has drowned out the speech which was evidently an account of a Viking invasion in 793 AD. This is a recurring problem with these productions. I don't understand how they can release them this way and why they continue to have this problem at all. Do they not even watch it themselves before posting it? It's so frustrating!
The priory was constructed in the 12th century, by which time the Norse had already converted to Christianity, and was closed in 1537 when King Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries and suppressed the religious orders in England.
@@stocktonjoans, how does that prove or disprove anything about any deity? The priory was never burned down by the Vikings as it was built long after Christianity was introduced to the Scandinavians. It fell into disrepair after it was closed down by the King during the English Reformation.
Doesn't that just prove that there's no god that prevented it, not that there's no god whatsoever? (Assuming it happened at all, which doesn't appear to be the case).
Here for Dan and Mrs. Crocombe.

Мне легче, английский не учила и читаю только субтитры
I came to see if it frustrates anyone else!
I mean, i would love subtitles. I'm not English
It's not just you. Such a shame. @English Heritage are you listening?
It’s a magnificent coastline
Ahh my two fave channels coming together. Love it.
Thank you for the entertaining & informative videos.
I’ve yet to make a pilgrimage there but hope to soon. Thanks for explaining the history Dan.
Obrigada meu amor, por compartilhar da história do seu lindo país!
Hey could you please show us the findings about the jewelry that's linked to King Henry the Eighth, that was just discovered.

I work there and cross the causeway every week 🙌🏻😂
Thank you for the video.
Sometimes the background music makes the speaker voice (the lady mainly) hard to understand.
That was excellent.
Looking forward to Glastonbury Abbey
Lindisfarne is much more important to the history of England than this video suggests, it was the island the English sheltered on when Urien of Rheged drove them out of Northumbria. Without Lindisfarne, the North of Britain would possibly still be Welsh.
Unfortunately, the music & thunder are drowning out whatever the woman was saying.
Regarding the "peaceful contemplation and books"; they were missionaries who converted over half of the country to Christianity.
I can remember working in the manor house hotel when they were recording this. Its peculiar now to see the outcome

Seems like a interesting video season to make for sure. I like education content.
Nice
May our Lady take possession of her dowry!
EH, can you tell your sound engineer to work on the mixing a little? The music is way to loud compared to the narration 😅

Dan you shill well extra sheckles for you🤑😏, but I reckon it wasn't the Vikings at all it was the British getting rid of the shills you know it was 😇👍
What's that? a christian priory burned tot he ground by heathen invaders? it's almost as if there is no god, weird, right?
The priory was constructed in the 12th century, by which time the Norse had already converted to Christianity, and was closed in 1537 when King Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries and suppressed the religious orders in England.
@@souveniehollande979 which also goes to prove there is no god, so it's not looking good for christianity either way
