I'm just back from an overnight stay in lovely Canterbury. The hotel I stayed in was built in 1502 and everyone acted like that was normal.
ОтветитьAmazing place to be !
ОтветитьI went to College There.
Ответитьis there strip clubs here
ОтветитьLincoln has an amazing Christmas Market with loads of craft stalls selling traditionally made Christmas gifts. Most of the vendors dress in period costume and it really adds to the atmosphere. Also Cambridge is a beautiful city, lots of ancient buildings. Also King's College Chapel is amazing, its ceiling is beautiful and provides wonderful acoustics. King's College choir are renowned worldwide and seeing the Choristers arrive for Choral Evensong in their traditional and historic uniform is fascinating. The Chapel is open for evensong and it is wonderful to hear their angelic voices soar up to the roof and to enjoy the fantastic acoustics.
ОтветитьCanterbury has been completely ruined by modern re-development and a massive expansion of the University.
ОтветитьSadly Canterbury lost a lot of it's history when on 1st June 1942 (during ww2) The city was Bombed by Luftwaffe the German air force and a lot of the city was damaged
ОтветитьNot sure if you’ve been to Hastings or Glastonbury yet ? But I’m so glad you liked Canterbury now read Canterbury Tales by Chaucer
ОтветитьPlease, I want to see a video of how such houses were built
Ответитьi go there for one week the last November and it was really beautiful and I even booked a guide and I saw every part of it and the cathedral was really beautiful and had a very beautiful backstory
ОтветитьYou should try Lincoln. It’s very underrated
ОтветитьYou forgot the ducking stool in Canterbury
ОтветитьHave you experienced the Lincoln Imp? lol
ОтветитьAs a Fenn Man I can recommend the Broads of Norfolk, the beaches, the wide open spaces and the biggest skies. There are tiny villages with unusual names in East Anglia such as "Eye",“Stiffkey”, “Slutshole Lane”, “Cock Street”, “Two Mile Bottom”, “Cat's Bottom”, “Gaywood”, “Booty Road” & “Dick's Mount” to name but a few. I was born in Wisbech & lived in Cinema Cottage, Upwell. Which is famous for being the longest village along the banks of the River Nene. Not forgetting Norwich cathedral.
ОтветитьIf they have dunking stalls shame they missed out on Margaret Thatcher.
ОтветитьYou guys should check out Royal Tunbridge Wells and Scotney Castle!
ОтветитьI love Canterbury. I spent six weeks in the county gaol and house of corrections.
ОтветитьIf you like crooked houses you should visit Lavenham in Suffolk. It's beautiful and you'd love it.
ОтветитьYou should visit Salisbury in Wiltshire! lovely old city right next to stonehenge! and the tallest cathedral in the UK
ОтветитьLove you guys...real people
ОтветитьMy daughter received her degree in Canterbury cathedral 5 years ago proudest day ever love your content guys xx
ОтветитьOf all the cathedrals I believe Salisbury to be the best. I was lucky on my last visit to climb up the spire. Wow!
ОтветитьAh, the post-Roman, Jute kingdom of Kent. Hengist and Horsa (5th Century AD noble Jute lunatics) founded the kingdom in around 450AD. They lived for war, so it was probably extremely stupid for the nazis, 1500 years later, to attack England at that location. They had no idea what they were up against!
ОтветитьI grew up near Canterbury and went to school there from 1976 to 1982. Long time ago now, I'm now 57 !! Love your videos, glad you're loving our country !! Cheers !
ОтветитьI love your videos x
ОтветитьYou really need to visit Lincoln The Cathedral , The Castle , A walk down steep hill into the City center. Especially In the summer months as there are lots of great beer gardens and alfresco drinking and dining. I love your content BTW i've been following a while now. P.S I live in lincoln in case you didn't guess..
ОтветитьYou guys need to go to Winchester, the old capital of the UK, it is also the home of the knights of the round table, you can actually see the table :)
ОтветитьAbout those dogs on the tomb stones ... Art used to be FULL of symbols back in medieval times. So dogs were a symbol of loyalty. They are often on tomb stones of women to show that she was a loyal wife and mother. Lions on the other hand are usually on tombstone of men, mostly knights who fought in wars, lions symbolize a valiant warrior. Generally, if you come accross a medieval statue or painting, pay attention to what are they holding in their hands and if there's anything below/around their feet.
ОтветитьThank you for showing the beauty of our amazing city. The cannoli shop isn't far from my home, it's to tempting!
ОтветитьLove your videos.
ОтветитьVisit Wigan
ОтветитьDamn I live here
ОтветитьI don't know if it's still there but Canterbury used to have the best sweet shop with pick and mix and pink and white striped bags. Loved going there as a kid. And I remember not liking the smell of incense in the cathedral crypt!
ОтветитьLove your videos! They are so informative. I’d love to see you visit Oxford & the Cotswolds and my home town of Norwich and the Norfolk broads and coast 🥰
ОтветитьHave you been to Rochester yet? I forget!
ОтветитьJust one small correction. It's a myth that ducking stools were used on witches (or rather, people accused of being witches).
They were used to punish scolds, and contrary to belief they weren't held underwater till they drowned. Just as with stocks and pillories, the point was public humiliation as a punishment.
Anyway, they were probably nowhere near as common as we imagine.
Easy to get to from London, Rochester, Kent is well worth a visit. Beautiful old town centre with remains of a Norman Castle and historic Cathedral.
ОтветитьIt’s a difficult call, however as an Architectural Historian, I would rate Canterbury as the apogee of Gothic (part Romanesque) architecture. Particularly it’s incredibly complex interior.
ОтветитьFake food store...Why??? Lol! Great video guys👍
ОтветитьYou need to visit Lincoln in the East Midlands. We also have a stunning Cathedral and the uphill part of the city is stunning. 👍
ОтветитьHi i just want you to know thag i think you guys are so sweet and genuine, it makes your videos so enjoyable!! Keep up the good work ❤️
ОтветитьI’m so pleased you made it to my hometown. Canterbury born and bred here but now living in Australia.
Glad you enjoyed your time there! ☺️
If I had known you were in Canterbury I would have come and said hello
ОтветитьI would love to show both around Northern Ireland
ОтветитьYou seemed to have missed the tomb of The Black Prince
ОтветитьAnother vote for Norwich and Lavenham in Suffolk. East Anglia (a collection of eastern counties) is a lovely region and only a couple of hours from London. I used to work at Norwich Castle.
ОтветитьAre u coming to middlesbrough x
