The Holy Grail and Whittington Castle

Join Third Rate content as we investigate and explore Shropshires Grail castle in Whittington, in the North West of the county, very close to the Hillfort of Oswestry, the supposed birthplace of Guinevere, wife and life companion of King Arthur.
We hear the connections of the “White Castle” to the vessel used by Mary Magdalene to collect drops of Christs Blood after his crucifixion and the journey it made to Britain as the Roman Empire fell during the 5th century.
So Buckle up and I’ll see you out here (and out there), for more history, mystery, folklore and legend, as we kick of 2024s Holy Grail Quest here on Third Rate content..

Thank you for the shout out.

No probs! 👍

This channel is definitely named wrong! If the BBC did stuff as good as this I'd consider getting a license!
Glad you did this place. I lived in a pub and worked as a zoo keeper one minute from there. The Penrhos Arms. They knocked it down 😢
I had no idea what an important castle it is. Thank you!

Thank you Paul! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the vid and took the time to say so. I didn’t realise the castles significance
for ages 😱. Being a Zoo keeper sounds like an interesting job. Shame about the pub. I imagine there’s houses there now? License fee = complete waste of money lol

@@thirdratecontent585 zoo keeper was the best job ever!
I'm not sure what's there where the pub was but you're probably right about houses!!! It was on station road. There was a butcher. Then the pub. Then a spar shop where Nikki the most beautiful woman ever, worked.
I'm definitely going back to look.
Thanks again for a brilliant video.
I'm never getting a license 😁

I hope you got that old man to do those walking shots ha ha! I am convinced the grail is what was found in that hole near Telford! Maybe you should take a trip back ....

[@thirdratecontent585]

lol i think he had gone back in the bookshop when I took those, I only noticed him when I was doing the edit 😂. Yes I’m with you on that theory, there was something strange and ancient about that “font”, and it’s currently unexplained disappearance adds to the mystery . A return visit is probably in order (on the Holy Grail Quest) tho I’ll wait until the tree cover comes in spring 👍

Great video again! Definitely need to collab on a video at some point, I'm aiming to do more history and folklore based videos this year

[@thirdratecontent585]

Thank you! Praise from a top quality TH-cam creator (and photographer!) such as yourself is definitely something to savour 👍. Yes definitely we will do that. As I’ve said I’m looking forward to you taking this direction. Tho what’s the best way to open a line of communication to sort it out?

@@thirdratecontent585 What a tale. I've never heard of this before.
An entire video about the Holy Grail and not a single reference to Monty Python either!

[@thirdratecontent585]

@@philhawley1219 Thanks Phil! I can’t believe I didn’t mention it either! I have actually got the dvd!🤣 AlsoI didn’t mention my favourite movie on the subject Excalibur. Tho there should be plenty of opportunities in 2024 on the Quest! Lol
