Was there years ago on a walk. There were flowers in there, then. With thanks from all the random visitors who appreciate whoever keeps the flowers. Diane USA
What a stunning little chapel; it’s excellent that they can keep that little place open for visitors in the day - I expect it’s a wonderful place for walkers to cool down!
You took my adjectives - amazing & stunning! St. Aldhelm's Church was an amazingly beautiful old church! So much history there - if walls could talk?!?! And Dorset's coastline is stunning. You had perfect weather for it! And yes those steps looked quit scetchy!!!😧😬
@@TKevinBlanc I don't know...I just read a deposition given by my 8th ggrandma from the 1600's & other than a lot of thee's & thou's & putting an e on the end words that we don't today, I could understand everything pretty clearly.
Gosh, we don't often see you that out of breath, but I know that on the Dorset coast you are either climbing up or down! That chapel was extraordinary, but rather damp looking...
What made that more interesting is the fact that Jim Hawkings,(the man you met in Eastbourne),found the hills to the east of Hastings hard going! Now he would have walked where you two were and that looked like really tough going!! A shame about the lady walking backwards!!
the chapel might be lined up with sunrise on St Aldhelms day as some chapels and churches are positioned in relation to their patron saints day.i mentioned this in a comment when you was in Cumbria I think
its strange St Aldhelm isn't our patron saint..seems a more logical choice than St George. Did you know Saint George did not rise to the position of "patron saint" of England, until the 14th century, and he was still obscured by Edward the Confessor, the traditional patron saint of England, until in 1552 during the reign of Edward VI all saints' banners other than George's were abolished in the English Reformation. also The earliest dedication to the saint in England is a church at Fordington ,Dorest. which is is mentioned in King Alfred's will....and a stone over the south door records the miraculous appearance of St George to lead crusaders into battle..Saint Aldhelm has been described has the first great English scholar Bede admired him and wrote he was A man most learned in all respects, for he had a clean style… wonderful for ecclesiastical and liberal erudition....considering he's patron saint of Wessex and Wessex pretty much covered most of what is England at the time the house was in its zenith and its through the submitting of regional kings to Athelstan at the gathering in Cumbria....that England was born and under the rule of one king...you would think it would be a natural progression .from saint of Wessex to patron saint of England...…………oh here is a good little fact Richard. our Queens son Edward was made the Earl of Wessex in 1999...….its the first time since the defeat at Hastings someone has held the title...and used only three times prior......king Cnut granted the title upon Godwin in around 1020 who over time and in the reign of the confessor the most powerful man in England..upon his death in 1053 it passed to his son Harold...who later would later be defeated and killed at Hastings as king....William used it once granting the title to his most trusted companion William FitzOsbern...whos favourite hobby was castle building .He built many early norman castles.many which evolved into our great castles today.if I remember correct he was the first Norman lord to launch a campaign into Wales resulting in the conquest of Gwent and held the title until his death in Flanders in 1071.the title wasn't passed on to his son....and was never used again until our Queen...granted it to Edward .and she didn't even ask if people minded just lumped it on him and him on us. Wessex folk lol
Unique church that we would never know about without your vid...
All thanks go to Dave Ford for showing me!
@@RichardVobes You are the artist......lol
Wow, that view after the chapel is simply beyond stunning!!!
You gotta love the Jurassic Coastline for views!
😁 Fabulous! My sort of walk... love a coastal path walk on a nice🌞day with a steep climb here and there...
Great fun!
The views, just take your breath away, can’t find the words. Thank you Dave and Richard and Logan.
So pleased you are enjoying the videos.
Beautiful
It sure is!
That chapel is amazing! Thanks for sharing, I always enjoy seeing the churches.
It certainly is unusual. Thanks so much for watching!
That church with the candles lit, must look very stunning, that was also a nice memorial, very interesting. well done Richard and Dave 👍
Thanks George.
Really amazing!!! And mysterious....
Thanks so much for watching!
Wonderful. The little church was amazing. Thank you. Rest the weary limbs.
A lovely place!
Loving these Dorset videos, Richard. Fabulous scenery and really interesting commentary.
Thanks so much.

Spectacular walk. I was really impressed. Dave is a good guide with his lovely dog. A week to remember.
Yes, Indeed, a good week.
What a stunning little chapel; it’s excellent that they can keep that little place open for visitors in the day - I expect it’s a wonderful place for walkers to cool down!
Oh yes, it was pretty cool in there! :)
*I visited here back in May, amazing place!!.*
It sure is. Thanks for watching.
So much for easy walks!
Hahahahaha - well yes!
Enjoying Dorset Richard, again great coastal views and the unusual chapel. Robert, NZ
It is fabulous up there!

A wonderful place indeed!
If walls could talk... I wonder if the English they spoke there in 1665 would be comprehensible to modern speakers.
Probably not - add the dialect too!

@@ramibu239 Fascinating. Thanks!
Beautiful. We haven't been to that part of the country for a long time. We stayed
in West Lulworth in 1993, only a short walk from the cove.
A lovely place - Lulworth Cove coming up soon!
Wow never seen that before. I didn't know that place even existed but have to give it a try one day thanks Rich
Well worth a look!
I’m enjoying your Dorset series. Beautiful weather but after those ups and downs I’m exhausted 😂😂
I must return. It was so lovely!
Gosh, we don't often see you that out of breath, but I know that on the Dorset coast you are either climbing up or down! That chapel was extraordinary, but rather damp looking...
Nigel, I believe there were something like 200+ steps down and a similar number going up!
Hahahahah - well I was playing up to the camera of course! Had to make poor Dave look good! :)
Easy peasy really!
What made that more interesting is the fact that Jim Hawkings,(the man you met in Eastbourne),found the hills to the east of Hastings hard going! Now he would have walked where you two were and that looked like really tough going!! A shame about the lady walking backwards!!
I love the hills there - you get a real sense of achievement. Unless you fall off, of course!
A handful of Frangos will get you up any hill Vobey.
Hahahahaha - yes I bet they will! They are lovely!
the chapel might be lined up with sunrise on St Aldhelms day as some chapels and churches are positioned in relation to their patron saints day.i mentioned this in a comment when you was in Cumbria I think
Oh right - how interesting. Cheers Shaun!
Maybe they built the chapel in the shape of a square to prevent the preacher's sermons to go on and on in circles ;-)
Ha - yes maybe!
thank you, again, Dave! but you really shouldn't wear out our Richard!!!
I wasn't worn out - i was play acting. I was racing him up other hills! :)
