  1. It is an amazing place, i lived in west Somerton just around the corner from the ruin. I used to visit on a regular basis and my imagination used to run riot 🙂

  3. 17 monarchs. Neato! Thank you Evelyn, for your evocative journey through the past, via St. Mary's skeleton.

  4. Another good one. Very well filmed. Especially the camera move is excellent! I feel you put more historical facts in your stories?!

  5. Well done. My favorite episode so far. Great history, background music and video. Glad you didn't walk around the witch's finger three times!! Thank you Evelyn.

  6. Fantastic video, beautifully done! I love this place. It looks very magical, and with that tree right in the middle. You wonder how things were back then, when the church was the place of gathering for the community. What secrets, and tales have been buried there.
    You really transported us, thank you!

  7. Looks like a really interesting church. Theirs a kirk (Church of Scotland) in the village that I grew up in, which is built on the site of the chapel that served the village, before the Reformation. It is claimed, that the Gothic styled window at the back of the kirk, is the only surviving part of the original chapel.

  8. Another GREAT! Spectacular footage, slow enough to really take in the Beauty of it all! Made me feel like I was there with you😁 And Always the right amount of interesting information, Love this Very much!!

  11. This is a great series Evelyn !, I was lucky enough to have lived in Norfolk for 4 years, and regard it as my spiritual home. Keep up the great work !

  12. American who grew up in the UK, loving this channel. I’ve been to so many of these 🙌🏻

  13. Myths and legends, the world would be a dull place without them And the English excel on that score. The presence of so many ruins is a goldmine for stories of old. Just love them. Love castles, mansions, estates all dating back so far one can't count the years. Some of the frames if frozen make ideal painting subjects to adorn walls in galeries and homes. Lovely video. Thanks for the privilege of having this peek into another classic time. 🌷 🙏 🙋‍♀️

  14. Love this! Amazing to see the person standing next to it. It’s much bigger than I thought!
