Walks in Shropshire: Acton Burnell Castle
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- I am out with Harriet and Lola the Dachshund exploring the manor house of Robert Burnell in the quaint village of Acton Burnell in Shrosphire.
The manor house was built in 1284 by Robert Burnell, Bishop of Bath and Wells, friend and advisor to King Edward I. Its position was important at the time because it was near to the old Roman road of Watling Street. The extent of the estate is not known, as much of the building has been completely destroyed or remains undiscovered. It would have been substantial enough to accommodate Edward I and his retinue, soldiers and advisers, but was never an actual castle.

It was cool to watch this because it's a part of my family history
You certainly get around a bit, Richard. It's good to see so many places that I have missed on my own travels, this being one.
Thanks Andy - yes a great place to check out and never busy!
Excellent Richard. Sting Spider loves your history walks and has just ordered three pairs of pointed medieval shoes !
Hahahahah - good for Sting Spider - hope he likes his new shoes!
So cool my family descends from here
your walking videos are great Richard keep them coming thank you
Thanks so much Mark - I really appreciate you giving them a once over! :)
I am descended from the House of Acton Burnell. I will see this part of my heritage one day.
Same here.
Hello Richard thanks for sharing this hidden gem,tucked away in the shorpshire countryside.
We had a good wander around here as well,wonderful old red brick ruin.
Have a nice day Beth and Simon ❤️ 👍
Well done for finding a gap in the weather - interesting to hear about the first English parliament - thanks.
Dreadful weather today - but not bad then! :) Hope you had a good one?
Wow, thank you so much - lovely to see it. I remember a picture of it from an old geography book I had as a child. Always wanted to see more; alas I haven't got to see it in person (yet) so this is the next best thing!
That part of my family's castle
thats my schoolllllllllllllllll
The church is well worth a look around too, been there many a times. taking photographs and making my dodgy slideshows which i have on my channel.
blackcountrystalker Ah yes. The church is lovely. I have been in there before but not in video. Thanks so much for watching!
its a spooky castle!
I too immediately thought about internal privvy and the reason being because I seem to remember they had those at Arundel as well.... And by privvy I mean a chute for emptying the chamber pot.
Robert Reed Yes Robert. It is that. I seem to switch off my brain when I switch on the camera.
That was Owen Ap Gryffold.
Thanks for correction
Hi Richard and Harriet...thanks for this..... 🤗👍🏻😘
Thanks Patti for checking it out - you must have seen t he lot by now! :) Aren't you exhausted?
Great video and nice to see Harriet and Lola too!
Mark Webb It takes a bit of persuading to get Harriet to appear.
Thank you very much for filming this! I've been trying to learn all I can about my ancestral home. I liked how you mentioned the Norman archway, I traced my ancestry all the way to Normandy until my ancestor came with William the Conquerorr in 1066.
So pleased you found it of interest. :) Thanks for watching.
Ive just got back from a short holiday and coming back to a weeks worth of your walks is like finding your channel all over again, I shall have an enjoyable couple of days catching up :)
Sid Bonkers Thank you Sid. I hope the holiday was enjoyable!
Maybe the flue you said about is actually a waste drop for an internal lavatory ? Also the bit at the end where you run away to no prevail did make me chuckle 👍🏻
sam Brazier Hi Sam. I think you are right about the waste drop. I was a little foxed because a flue wouldn't be open like that. Glad I made you chuckle!
Impressive building indeed. Don't feel like you have to get lots of history in this walks , it's all Greek to many of us. Personally it was more interesting to me to see the flue (although I think it could've been something else) than to hear if Henry VIII, IX or X built the house.
Julio Tijuana I shall bare it in mind. Thanks Julio.
