    You are so fortunate to live in a nation where the history goes back so far, and you can so easily visit these ancient buildings. On the west coast of the United States, anything built in the 1870s or 80s is considered quite old... provided it's still standing that is, since most of the structures hete were built with wood, in what continues to be a very moist and rainy climate.
    When I visited the east coast, in a state which was one of the first original colonies, I was astounded to see gravestones from the mid to late 17th century. That just doesn't exist out here where I am. We have a few pioneer graves from the early white settlers, but that's about it. Nothing much older than 175 years, at best.
    But even the east coast can't match England, with regard to history. You are very fortunate. Thanks be to God that so many of these amazing places are still available to be seen.

      ​@darklydork2990 I read Edith Pargeter: The Heaven Tree trilogy as a young teenager in the 70s. Its about a younger son from a smaller noble family who is apprenticed to a mason and works on building Notre Dame in Paris. It was one of my mother's books. I should probably search it out as bits of writing stick in my mind, though I can't recall the whole story.

    The TH-cam algorithms brought your channel to me today. Love it! Subscribed. Read your description, and I think you are better off this way than with the BBC anyway! 😂❤️ You can have a global audience.
    When you are following your greatest joy, the universe will cooperate. ❤️😂
    Love the very quiet, subtle music in the background, assisting you, but not overwhelming you. Excited to learn more about UK history from you. Sending much love from “across the pond” in Washington state, USA ❤️❤️❤️

    I am familiar with Offa's earthworks and where Gloucestershire is, but that's as near as I can locate your subject.

    As a graphic designer, I find this type of content extremely insightful. Mainly because I have (and still am) taking history courses regarding art and design.

    • @lady_of_the_mercians
      @lady_of_the_mercians  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      IMO the best art comes from an awareness of its sources/history

      A valid response. As some of the greatest art in history either represents a story or portrays a symbolic. A good example is the _Victory Stele of Naram-Sin_ , 2254-2218 BCE as it tells a story while also representing Naram as a person with divine power by showing him both larger than the other people within the relief and him wearing a sort of cap with horns. Because of this, scholars within the field can understand that Naram was a ruler of the Akkadian Empire.
