The Quest for England - Early Morning in North Lancing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- This morning I have taken a trip to North Lancing in West Sussex to have a look at the ancient church there, St James the Less, and some of the village's older properties probably date back to Elizabethan times.
North Lancing is at the foot of the South Downs and separate from South Lancing which lies adjacent to the coast and developed more in the 1900s. -------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you again Richard for these Lancing walks. As mentioned in other comments, last June I was a 10min walk from the church at the beginning of this video, visiting the Lancing-Sompting Cemetery all the way from Louisville, KY USA. I crossed over the A27 at the pedestrian crossing on Upper Boundstone Lane. Having watched your videos, I hope to return soon and ramble around similarly! Well done, sir.
Thanks so much for visiting last year, and hope you can make it again soon! Thanks for watching.
Absolutely stunning! I just love these old builds!!!😍 And these were some just incredibly gorgeous ones, especially now all festooned in Spring blossoms!💐🌸🌷🏵
Btw...at 3:01 def a Cherry - that's what ours looks like right now (except our tree is almost 60 yrs old so its massive! And it gets so heavy w/ blossoms that the branchs almost hang to the ground.🌸)
Also, at 9:32 that was Lilac (my favorite!). Budelia (or Butterfly Bush) will bloom more in the Summer months & you are right the flowers grow more hanging instead of upright like the Lilac.
It is extra special in the spring, I agree.
Lovely walk Richard! I love your early morning walks. I'm sure someone's commented, but that was a lilac tree...lovely color, just beautiful. Thank you for sharing...take care, stay safe.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for a lovely walk, through an area I have not visited before.
I used to go for a lot of walks around here when I was young. And every Christmas eve I would go to a Christingles service at this church which would always make my Christmas as well as being a bridesmaid for my Auntie here. Beautiful place in the world and I can't wait to explore it again when lockdown is over. Thank you for this walk down memory lane 😊
So pleased you enjoyed it.
A few years back when we had a big bike race, a lot of colourful bicycles were placed around
in various locations. Maybe the one you saw was a relic from that time ?
Beautiful.
Thank you so much for going to North Lancing as you said you would.Have taken pictures of all these old lovely houses played in the park just had a GOOD time there, you walked by my sisters street
I now live in the States, so that was a BIG treat made the lock down a better day. thanks again.
I think churches have missed a great opportunity during these times. Live broadcasts would have been good. Thank you for the visit, so many beautiful places in Sussex and Lancing is no exception. Julia shouldn't leave her bikes laying around lol.
I will go and collect up all her bikes! :)
@@RichardVobes Lol
Hahaha!😂🤣💜🚲
Also, thats what many of the churches over here have been encouraged to do during this time.
St Martins In The Fields..( London) has been doing live broadcasts daily....with great views out of the window of Trafalgar Square.
Michael Angel - most churches near me, including my own have live or broadcasted services. The sad thing is that that the archbishop has forbidden live-streaming of services from churches as he believes it would stop the spread of COVID... 🤦♂️
Another excellent video
Glad you enjoyed it
Lovely walk round Lansing.
The tree/bush you looked at was Lilac I think?
Ah right - cheers, Kevin.
Definitely was Kevin!💜
Lancing is still classed as a Village which makes it the largest village in the UK
When I was at Lancing College in the seventies we would walk down to North Lancing near the recreation ground and have tea and toast in one of those lovely old thatched cottages, I think it was on 'The Street' which surely must be the centre of old Lancing with a name like that!
I really liked this video again Richard, and love the church walks, tombstones and pathways. I wish you'd traveled a bit further and gone to Brighton; If you had I'd very much enjoy seeing a good coverage of St Nicholas Church there.
Another interesting and entertaining film to bring a bit of sparkle to the day. Thank you for making and posting them. What a great name for a Church to be dedicated to, St James the Less, very English. I will try to find out more about him, i wonder what he lacked? ^-)
Lilac not buddleia!
I didn't think it was buddleia - thanks so much.
Can you tell me what a twitton is? Is it simply a flint wall or something else? Thankyou.
Steve Garnett .
A walkway or alleyway with ' sides ' !
Another Sussex term for same is ' whapple ' .
a twitton is an alley or short cut with wall or fence .
I think the purple bikes are "Leave Lancing Lovely" bikes - places for flowers. London has white ones to indicate fatal cyclist accidents.
you look like your on edge ,, relax richard ..
nice part of the world there. It was indeed a lovely house, they all were
Lucky to see they still here. :)
09:32 was the Old North Lancing Post Office
Enjoyed your walk around North & South Lancing, used to live there before emigrating to Australia, also remember the Manor House in the early sixties in fact attended sea cadets there.
Crikey this lockdown must be seriously effecting my mental health as I’m falling in love with North Lancing and want to revisit the place and explore once the restrictions are lifted! 🤭😉👍
🙂
I remember the Manor House from the early 60’s. we played as kids in the forest leading up to the chalk pit. Climbing chestnut trees to get confers.
Confers eh ! When we went as kids we got “ conkers ” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 sorry only joking , I just loved to see where we played as kids too, long time ago for me, mid to late 60s, then I moved away
I must be Physic. I was just thinking the other day It would be nice to have you explore an old church/Grave yard. Today.. Ta-Da..
You wish is my command.
Just loved watching this as I was a choirboy at St James the Less, plus I spent my formative years at North Lancing School. It brought back a lot of memories from over 60 years ago! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it
So Interesting thank you :)...contact with other people is always worth avoiding 🤣🤣🤣
the bike ,, north lancing cycling association
The oldest house in Lancing is absolutely stunning. I want it . Another great video. Glad to see you getting out and about.
North Lancing School field over looks it. The nearest classrooms used to do outdoor art classes to draw it!
I live in lancing
Thank you for allowing us to travel to these great places through your camera. I first discovered your video about Chichester and it brought back fond memories from our visit for Goodwood revival about 5 years ago. I look forward to seeing more of your adventures.
Awesome, thank you!
Connor help with the purple bike, but if you see a white bike that is known as a ghost bike and is were a cyclist has either died or been severely injured.
Golly - that is sad, about the white bike.
What a beautiful village, I always have thought of lancing as bungalow central so it’s good to see the old bit.
St James the Less is so called because there were two disciples called James and he was barely mentioned in the gospels. (There’s also James, brother of our Lord who was jesus’s brother but then it gets confusing!)
Now A 'Miller and Carter' restaurant was known as the Sussex Potter, probably the first restaurant I went to for prawn cocktail, rump steak, chips tomato, peas and watercress for decoration and Black Forest Gateau for pud. 1960s
I love North Lancing, My parents met in the Steak house you passed. My fathers family ran it when it was the 'Corner House' I think it was called. My mother lived in Church close, just opposite the church. I have really happy memories of staying with my grandmother there. I have often been up to the down from there. Lovely, thanks for posting this.
Lovely video again Richard. I would love to explore different areas of the countryside when I get older I think it's lovely.
Beautiful Wisteria on the cottage wall. Lovely walk Richard.
As a boy i sometimes used to be enlisted to chime the four bells at St James the Less Church. I used to get £1 for doing so!
One rope hangs to the ground but to chime all four bells it was up a ladder!
I meant to say chime them for weddings
Nice one, I did like that. Them houses have a lot of character. But I do like the mic tudir it looks OK. 👍
That oldest house isn't *mock* Tudor, it's *Genuine* Tudor I went to school literally over the other side of the fence of it's back garden. Local history lessons taught that it was 15th/16th century.
