  • Join us on an epic journey of discovery as we tell the story of the religious reformation in the Cotswolds. Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries had a huge impact on religious buildings across the country, and in this Easter Special we take you from Gloucester Cathedral right across the Cotswolds to Brailes, Epwell and Oddington, all the way back to Tewkesbury Abbey, just out of the region.

    I literally grew up in a small church and I feel much better in one, during my childhood I went to the literal tent revivals, VBS Vacation Bible School and just had a wonderful time listening to and watched my oldest sister get baptized and her friend. a small church is a nice choice.

    Hello Robin and Ross : I watch your wonderful videos from the Pacific Northwest of the US. I fell in love with the Cotswolds when I visited the area in 1985. It was,of course, pre-internet time so I planned the entire week of exploration with many maps and drove my then 15 year old daughter and myself about the area. It was a wonderful and at times harrowing experience driving on the left versus the right as in the US. The roundabouts were especially tricky as I went clockwise instead of counterclockwise and you can imagine the havoc and angst that caused my British drivers on the road. But we survived and truly enjoyed the beautiful area and friendly, accommodating people we encountered. Because it was such a departure from my usual comfort zone to attempt that trip, I will always consider it to be a turning point in my attitude concerning travel. I have missed the ability to travel during our Covid lost years and for that reason your videos have been so valuable to me and give me the chance to recall a wonderful experience in my life. Thank you! Lillian

    • @TheCotswoldExplorer
      @TheCotswoldExplorer  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So glad to hear we could bring the Cotswolds to you in some form 😊 Thank You for sharing your experience, scary on the roundabout front but at least the people made up for it!

    An excellent tour - no worries for spreading outside the usual area as this supplies such wonderful material. A recently retired gent, watching from Ellicott City, Maryland, USA, with a fondness for Cheltenham, which may be just outside the usual area though in the spirit of this video I thought it safe to mention. Happy Easter to one and all, and a heartfelt thanks for mentioning the stalwart citizens of Ukraine.

    Happy Easter Robin and Widget from us here in Albany, Western Australia. Andrew, Grant and Brae the Westie and Maggie the cat.
    We love watching your videos.
    Having had the enormous privilege of visiting the Cotswolds in 2019, just prior to the pandemic, we would say our favourite place was Stow-on-the-Wold closely followed by Broadway where we stayed for 10 days. A truly memorable experience.

    • @TheCotswoldExplorer

    Hello Cotswold Explorer from Sydney, Australia. Thank you for continuing our education so entertainingly on the dissolution of the monasteries and its impact.
    We very much liked the tiny village of Winson where we stayed for 10 days for our daughter's 2017 wedding outside Bibury. Discovered a pathway from the village centre to the most pictuesque pools imaginable in the River Coln.
    No time to investigate St Michael's Church (perhaps too much time at the excellent Village Pub in nearby Barnsley!) - maybe worth a future video?

    Breathtakingly beautiful!! I would love to just stand in the church and soak in the atmosphere. Nothing built today quite equals the magnificent craftsmanship so evident in all these ancient buildings. Truly masters of their craft and astounding that such beauty could be achieved using what would be considered primitive tools and building methods. I find myself completely awed and astounded.
