Hi Paul, Lovely film as usual. Now, my mother was born in Portsmouth in 1934 (sadly no longer with us). She met my father when he was doing his National Service and based at Eastleigh Barracks. My parents moved to Northolt (where I was born) after they married as my father’s family were in Greenford. However, my Great Aunt and Uncle (mum’s side of the family) lived in Portchester so we would visit them when we could. In the 60’s I spent a couple of weeks of my summer school holiday with my Great Aunt and Uncle. Uncle Bill loved driving and with my Aunt, took myself and the neighbour’s lad to Beaulieu Motor Museum which was still very much in its infancy in those days. Back then the M27 past Southampton didn’t exist so we had to do the trip mainly on A roads. As far as I know I have not been to Bishop’s Waltham Abby although I recall a photo of me and the other lad (can’t recall his name after all these years) being taken sat on a ruined wall. It was likely at Beaulieu but could have been Bishop’s Waltham. What can recall was being taken to a Little Chef roadside restaurant that was at Bishop’s Waltham! Sadly, the Abbey ruin has long outlasted the Little Chef chain. There you go, some absolutely worthless family trivia! 😂 As always, keep ‘em coming! Best wishes, Mark
In 1644 200 Royalists were besieged in the palace for 3 days before surrendering to the Roundheads, the following year Cromwell ordered the palace to be slighted. The attack on the palace was around the same as the Battle of Cheriton, in March of 1644, 7 miles north of the palace, where the Royalists suffered their first big defeat.
Oh I love places like this, wondering what went on and how they lived, I always believe their skin cells would still be there. I've really loved this walk around, thank you so much Paul xx
Love listening to your stories and seeing the beautiful scenery, thank you. Love from Australia ❤ I also love the music you play when you do the drone shots. You take the most beautiful pictures
Thanks Paul, another great video. If only the walls could talk. I can only imagine the secrets held within those walls. Didn’t the bishops live well, even in very early recorded history.
Hard to rap my head around something that old. They made it so strong to last all this time. Love this place. Thank you for stopping and showing to us ❣️❣️❣️
Hi Paul, thanks for sharing this old ruin. I agree with you, there is more left standing than I thought. I loved the drone views also. Take care and stay safe till next time. ❤
Morning Paul, its seeing places like this that reminds me that we live in a beautiful country and should go out more and explore what's around. Nice find Paul.
Hi Paul. Just catching up with your latest videos (been a bit busy over the summer and not had much time to watch TH-cam). Love this one. I have never been to Bishops Waltham Palace and not sure why, looks a very interesting place. Oddly, I do have memories of being taken to the (now gone I believe) Bishops Waltham Little Chef as a child whilst staying g with my Great Aunt and Uncle in Portchester. Uncle Bill used to love driving for miles so we’d go to places like Beaulieu and call at the Little Chef for tea on the way home. Now’t to do with your lovely film other than it stirring a distant memory from over 50 years ago. As always, keep ‘em coming! Kind regards, Mark
I’ve got goosebumps. I’m gutted I missed the live stream. Paul, my maternal grandfather was from this area. A dear friend of mine did some research on my family tree. My grandfather moved to Wales 🏴 with his father and brother when their mother died young. My great grandfather married his sister in law so she could raise my grandfather and his brother respectfully as a married woman. Going further back, there were family members in the workhouse. Absolutely heartbreaking learning about that. Great video Paul, thank you so much. I wonder if my ancestors walked where you were.
paul thanks for the drone footage the higher elevation footage shows many minor patch/crop marks in the grass and as an amateur archeologist for the last 40 years that tells me most of the site wonders are still buried and, it's bigger than the current boundaries. I thought you would like to know that! and thanks again for the amazing drone work!
Nice one Paul it looks an amazing place drone footage is amazing these old places are amazing I'm a English Heritage Member and visit these places quite often a lovely place to visit is castle Acre in North Norfolk there are actually two sites in the same area well done Paul
So interesting. Like some others have said, i cant get around much anymore either and seeing what you film is a blessing. The drone footage was amazing.❤
As a boy I remember asking my Dad which side our family were on during the civil wars 1642./49. He gave it some though and said” Probably the side that was winning at the time”. Could you blame people for following this route Cromwells Puritans destroyed many beautiful churches and monasteries 😢
Another amazing video if only those walls could speak , love anything historical imagining how it was back in the day the people that resided there. Love the drone footage showing the enormity of the place and the amazing construction. I wonder how long it took them to build it .
It was good to be the bishop, I think. At least until they fell out of favour. I love old ruins, and like a previous comment, I no longer can travel, so I will view them with you. Thank you!
Hi Paul,Jeff Sayers from Brisbane Australia. I have been watching your channel for ages and I enjoy it very much thank you. I saw the one you did on Fanny Adams ,I must say it really upset me and I felt sick to hear what that animal did to that little girl. I will never use sweet FA ever again after hearing the story. Thanks Paul.
Hope u have had a good weekend Paul,what a great place,as ever another great video love old ruins like this,near me there is an old cemetery and it’s got the old ruin of the church so going to have a proper look round when I can walk properly (just had a knee replacement),keep ur videos coming Paul xx
Amazing what unusual things you find on your travels don't have to be a grave amazing what that place use to look like in the day love going to the places myself like your drone footage couldn't never get use on flying those lol
Just watched the video Paul. Your mind can run riot when visiting places like this, imagination goes out the window when you think of the people that lived and passed through there hundreds of years ago. Really enjoyable. Is it just me or does some of the drone footage make one feel dizzy🤔😵💫 take care lovely 🤗 Xxx
Paul you've pick an unusual and interesting place to visit, I've really enjoyed watching your film, the drone photography is amazing. Take care of yourself sunshine 👻👻👻
Absolutely Fantastic find Paul Really like these type finds what a big area to find and see with your video there is places in Swansea that have History one is a castle in mumbles where you can pay and visit and the lady in white who is the ghost of a lady where people have seen Ostermouth Castle is the name Paul Excellent video & thank you once again brilliant 🤩
I Paul I absolutely love old ruins this is a beautiful place I' don't get out so I'm so happy when you take us on your travels thankyou so much

Hi Paul
Great addition to your channel have to find and do more like this
In 1644 200 Royalists were besieged in the palace for 3 days before surrendering to the Roundheads, the following year Cromwell ordered the palace to be slighted. The attack on the palace was around the same as the Battle of Cheriton, in March of 1644, 7 miles north of the palace, where the Royalists suffered their first big defeat.
Very informative, thank you for sharing. History facilitates me.
Love old ruins. I used to play in and around the ruins of Hadleigh Castle as a kid. Fun times. Great walkabout, thank you.

This is a huge place! I love old ruins like this; I've been to Binham Priory a few times since moving to Norfolk.
I’ve got goosebumps. I’m gutted I missed the live stream. Paul, my maternal grandfather was from this area. A dear friend of mine did some research on my family tree.

The architecture is amazing especially given the time, it was built. Thank you for another great video
Brilliant as always Paul x
paul thanks for the drone footage the higher elevation footage shows many minor patch/crop marks in the grass and as an amateur archeologist for the last 40 years that tells me most of the site wonders are still buried and, it's bigger than the current boundaries.
I thought you would like to know that! and thanks again for the amazing drone work!

Cromwells Puritans destroyed many beautiful churches and monasteries 😢
