- For a beautiful medieval town in England, head to Sandwich in Kent. It is like walking back in time. This beautiful medieval town has got a rich history and we will take a historic walk around Sandwich and see many of the medieval buildings and share a bit of its history.
This is also where the story around the humble sandwich comes from although the 4th Earl of Sandwich who coined the name did not have anything to do with the town. It was just his title.

I work for the Dept of Transportation here in Tennessee and we hear this all the time" The 1975 bridge will be replaced soon", but there in the UK they have bridges 500 years old still going strong
I don’t know how you do it but you manage to find the most interesting unique places in the UK . Having lived in London for years on end I feel quite ashamed of myself for not exploring our rich and precious historical towns. Living in London is like living on a hamster wheel spinning around and going nowhere. Many thanks for this superb upload .
Haha I know the feeling, it was a short stop, sort of unplanned but sometimes they can be the best visits! It was lovely.
I think this is one of the reasons why haven´t visited London yet.
I grew up in Sandwich and remember when it was a really busy town especially on Thursdays , Market day, it was an absolute nightmare trying to find a parking space, with traffic congestion throughout the town. An interesting walk is around the old town wall which takes in the "Rope Walk" where ships rigging was laid out in the days when it was a busy port, The "Butts" which is where the town cricket club plays but was where archery practice was conducted in medieval times. "Hangmans Field" which was as the name suggests, where wrong doers met their maker, paying their debt to society leads to a small nature reserve at gazen salts playing field, then along the river to the Quay. Walking around the town taking in this route takes about an hour, well used to take me that long when I was fit with the dog, now with arthritis of the knee I probably would struggle to complete one section. Great video though which brought back many memories.... Just one final thing I was the "Saturday Boy " at the shop opposite the Guild Hall from 1973 until 1987ish many happy years spent working there.
Thank you for the lovely comment and your memories. It was a very unplanned trip and would have loved to have seen more we did miss some of those walks but the light was failing so, another time. Thanks for sharing extra ideas of things to see. Were you at the ironmongers?
I love the history of the UK!!!! Thats why I come back more and more!!
Oh how I would love to see all of the British isles. Thank you for sharing. Blessings
You’re welcome 😊
What a lovely historic town. Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure!
Visited Sandwich 5years ago on one of my visits back to UK.Yes a lovely historic town so pretty.
Sorry you missed the Gertrude Jekyll garden in Sandwich designed by Lutyens,a delightful place to visit.Another excellent video,thank you.
I did not know about this garden, it was actually unplanned visit to the town and so I had not done any research and time was limited but I think it turned out ok.
My sister lives in Reading and close to train station. If I were her I’d be out and about every weekend 😂. There’s so much to see in UK.
Beauty of England is at another level... its beautiful, charming & interesting historical places..the houses of ages well preserved, churches so good maintained & food it makes me hungry... ur videos so wonderful & always high on hopes, thank u
Absolutely love the medieval look of this charming little village. The timber frame structures are my favorite. Thank you so much for another wonderful video! God bless.
You are so welcome!
Town
Amazing and beautiful this city ❤ hope I will visit it someday 👍🏻❤
Gorgeous buildings and spaces. The single glazed timber windows are the major detail which keeps the town looking beautiful, replaced with upvc double glazing the place would be instantly uglified. Installing solar panels on those delightful clay tiled roofs would likewise be a hideous blemish. I congratulate the local council and conservation team on keeping the beauty of Sandwich.
Thank you for a trip down my childhood’s memory lane. Sandwich is my favourite town.
Our pleasure!
I, for one, enjoy & appreciate the extra efforts you employ in your filming, editing, and choice of background tunes…thanks!
Thank you very much!
Your tours are wonderful! This one was special to me because my ancestor "Thomas the Settler" (some form of Dewey) left Sandwhich and sailed to America in 1672(?). I would love to go there and see it in person--but this was a special treat because it is a beautiful town!
Great video! Really enjoyed the quaintness 👍
I'm a Yank.I lived in Harrogate, Yorkshire back in the 60s. I was in the US Army at Menwith Hill Station. I so enjoy your walking tours....It's like reliving the the good old days with an added perspective...your great sense of knowing just what to film and present in a very interesting and professional manner. It shows that you do research and much work on each of your presentations. I eagerly await your next work. Bob Strickland
Hello Bob, thank you for your kind words. It does take a lot of effort to make the videos and yes we try hard with the research to find out some interesting information. Glad that it all comes across and glad to have you watching. All the best!
Enjoy your videos, it is the closest I will get to visiting the UK.
Glad we can share with you. All the best.
What an absolute charmer of a town! Thanks, Simon. I really enjoyed going along for a virtual stroll.
Thank you for watching.
Super cute little town - it would be so much fun taking a walk down those streets! Love your narration sharing the history of this unique area.💕
Thank you Karen.
In England absolutely everything is beautiful,Greetings from Gran Canaria!!!
Well not everything is but we like to find those cute places 😊 that are. Greetings!
Beautiful old town
GRACIAS POR ESTE BELLO LUGAR SU HISTORIA HERMOSA INGLATERRA !!!!🌹🙌👏💖💖💖💖💖💖
¡De nada! Gracias por ver.
Watching this in Sandwich, ILLINOIS USA
It's amazing that the timber structured buildings lasted so long! I guess that through the centuries, the owners/renovators gave them lots of of TLC. It's a beautiful little town. I can easily imagine myself as a child again, growing up there and enjoying walks through the town, looking into shop windows. I like the cheerful background music for this video, too.
Thank you Nora, glad you liked it and the music. I agree how do these old places survive!
A delightful destination. The light was often sublime. 💐
Thank you
I grew up in this small town - left about 20 years ago. Not much has changed. Then again I don’t think much has changed in 200 years either.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I remember riding my bike through Holy Ghost Alley as a young kid.
Glad it brought back memories for you! Any idea why it's called Holy Ghost Alley? I couldn't find out.
Kota yang indah... Suka sekali dengan bangunan tradisional dan kanal air-nya.... Beautifull place 👍🇮🇩
These timber frame houses are probably the nicest I have ever seen. I like the German and French ones there near Alsace, but these are much prettier ! Thanks for sharing !
THANK YOU EVER EVER SO SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEOS... SO COMFORTING BEAUTIES OF OUR LOVELY ENGLAND... THE ENGLAND OF MY HEART AND MY SOUTH I SO MUCH LOVE, AND I EVEN MORE MISS.
BLESS.
So pleased you enjoyed it.
Beautiful tudor houses. What a routemaster and beautiful archway.

Thank you Linda, glad you like it.

Gracias por las amables palabras. Me alegro mucho de que te haya gustado. Saludos desde Inglaterra.
So enjoy seeing these beautiful old English villages and your informative commentary. I love the UK but living in Australia I don’t get the chance to visit much. I look forward to all your uploads, thank you for sharing them.
Thank you Alison, so nice to hear!
We like to take a photo of us at Fisher's Gate. It's beautiful.
❣️❣️always!! From Greece.
I have been waiting for a quiet few minutes to enjoy this! That was really interesting as well as simply delicious (groan!). The Holy Ghost Alley as well as a lot of other buildings really make me see the Saxons were there. And imagine living in that former boarding house! I bet it’s amazing. Just last night I could smell the quintessential German woodsmoke smell in a town I was in, and then you tell me it’s English, too! You have to come for a visit and compare. I loved your video, as usual. Always a treat.
Just love the smell of a log fire, can't beat it.
Hermoso para estar alli .Inglaterra y Escocia son maravillosos lugares. Saludos desde Uruguay 🇬🇧🇺🇾
Hola, genial saber de ti. ¡Gracias por mirar!
My ancestors lived in Strand Street Sandwich since the early 1800's xx
How lovely, apart from all the cars!
Thank you so very much for the tour
It was most interesting
I love the idea of where the name sandwich came from. Works for me!
Nice Town, also famous for one of its golf courses which have hosted the British Golf Open. Have a great weekend.
I knew they had a golf course didn't know it hosted the open!
So much history in so many little towns and villages. It's a delight and oozes life from the past. Thank you once again =-)
So lucky we have all these places to visit. Should keep our channel busy for the next 100 years! haha. Thanks for watching as always.
Thanks for the image of the map!
Lovely, as usual! Thank you😊
Thank you! 😊
I really enjoy your channel, all the places you have visited and the history of the place. I am Mexican and I hope to visit this country soon and your channel helps me to know what places to visit and what to look for. I'm glad I found your channel.
We hope you visit, lots of ideas of places to go in our videos. Hope they help you. All the best!
Historic town walk England country very remember about Home stay Kings earl of Sandwich.
Sandwich is wonderful. I love the early architecture. Thank you so much
Thank you for watching Barbara
@@MemorySeekers You two are the best channel for visiting the UK! We love all your programs!
What a Charming little Town!! I Would LOVE To live Somewhere like this, There's Nothing Like This Here in The USA. Must Be My British Roots Calling Me Home.
If you like Sandwich you will probably like Rye as well. Not that far apart and just as nice if not more!
Beautiful film of a special and old place.
The old and also different stones that were used for the construction of the houses and the churches give a special atmosphere. It seems as if you are looking far back in time.
The informative commentary is always a pleasure to listen to.
Fortunately, the music in the background is well arranged again, so that you can understand everything well even with poor hearing.
Thank you for this film!
Thank you for the lovely comment, glad the music was soft enough for you.
When you are homesick these are lovely :)
Another great stroll taking in the sights and sounds, l like the idea of the curfew bell still being rung at 8.00pm. Saying that l will also say goodnight. Thanks for posting 🦘🐨🦘🐨😷
Glad you enjoyed it
another gem in britain´s crown of awesome towns and cities. thx so much
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for another lovely treat! Leaning brick and half-timbered buildings with those small-paned windows are so wonderful to see, still standing, in use to this day. I did wonder if there was a connection with the Earl of Sandwich. Julie Montagu has another version of the sandwich story, that she explains on her channel, American Viscountess. Her father-in-law is the current Earl of Sandwich. You mentioned this video was from a short stop-over, but the beautiful film work (especially the light through the church windows at the end) equals any of your others. Cheers from California on this beautiful spring day. :)
I think there are a number of different stories none of which can be confirmed, all good fun to come up with what might have happened! Yes it was a completely unplanned trip having been at Dover castle in the morning. Didn't have a whole lot of time but I think it came out ok.
I've been to so many places in the area over the past 30 years and always seemed to bypass Sandwich for some reason or another. After watching your video I think I should explore the town myself.
Hello Alice, hope you do explore it was just lovely to wander around. We had not planned to visit, and was so surprised at how much there is to see. We really ran out of light and missed a few bits so do go and see this wonderful town.
What a lovely town, definitely somewhere I need to explore in person sometime.
It looked lovely. I wish i was there to smell all the chimney’s in town. Would be wonderful. Thanks for the video 🍺
Ooo I love the smell of a log fire!
Thanks a lot ! Your channel is so exciting and interesting! It's so lovely when I see your excusion! My mood is always will be better. I think your channel is one of the best .
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching.

This was just a delightfully magical little town. I’ve never heard of Sandwich. But it had so much to offer! Loved all the history! Just fascinating! Simon thank you so much. Sending love from California🍀🤟🏻😎🍀🇺🇸🇺🇦
So pleased we introduced you to a new place! I have to say I didn't know much about it before we visited either. Was a real lovely surprise.
Thank you for the video and narrative. Lovely places. I live in USA Pacific NW ( hrs from British Columbia, Canada). My state was founded in 1889! Seeing buildings dating from 1200s is amazing.
Glad you enjoyed it
A very interesting walk, thank-you!
Glad you enjoyed it
❤❤❤❤
Haya. You have captured Sandwich beautifully, seeing all the quaint narrow streets & the wonderful medieval looking buildings was a joy. Thanku both for all your hard work bringing us all these lovely videos. Thanku. x
It was a really sweet place to visit, thanks for watching as always.
Delightful and very informative/interesting video! Much better than the touristy videos of most of the travel sites and shows. Beautiful and very pleasant buildings! What a wonderful place Sandwich is, the sort of place I could quite happily live in! Thank you again! 😊.
It was a very unplanned trip and turned out to be wonderful. I had no idea it would be so nice!

Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you. Really enjoyed this video. Cheers.
Our pleasure.
Lovely thank you
😊
Thank you for yet another wonderful video. I so enjoy exploring England virtually through your lovely narration and videography skills. The architecture, food, history, gardens are always beautifully presented, including today in Sandwich. One gentle request: I found the music today a distraction, and would have preferred either the natural sounds or perhaps something softer and less prominent. I hesitate to offer my opinion as the internet can open up to unkindness and negativity, and I want no part of that, as you are both so appreciated and talented! Thank you, and I can't wait to see where you go next!
Hello Anne, thank you for the feedback we haven't take offence. I guess music is a very personal thing and whilst this time it wasn't to your taste, we hope next time it will be. Thank you for watching and subscribing. 😊
Wonderful town!
Very enjoyable and interesting As it happens Sandwich Ma. on Cape Cod is just down the road
Watching from the US - would love to visit - I'm a Brit but have never been here - it has so many wonderful old buildings ! Thank you very much !
Hello Veronica so pleased you enjoy our videos. It really is wonderful. We have another video coming up in a month or so from Rye on the southern coast. I think it might trump Sandwich with the old buildings. Not somewhere we had heard much about so I think you will enjoy that one too! All the best.
I absolutely love your videos, and am so grateful to see and learn about so many special, beautiful places; thank you! I also really love your narration of historical background, and as always, especially like your music accompaniment/choices…! Thank you for the time and work you both put into these wonderful productions. All the best from Atlanta, GA! 🙏🏼✨
Ahh thank you so much, so nice to hear and keeps us going making more. All the best.
No car's in some of the streets making great to be able to see the great old buildings, a more pleasant view for me anyway, well done, keep your good work up.
Glad you enjoyed it
