Through your explanations the story comes alive, and how the tree could grow there, great video!
What an evocative place.. I imagined all sorts of scenarios over the years.. Need to visit for myself!
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 🙂
I used to live at Winterton near by and visited this fascinating ruin many times. Brought back memories Many thanks
17 monarchs. Neato! Thank you Evelyn, for your evocative journey through the past, via St. Mary's skeleton.
Another good one. Very well filmed. Especially the camera move is excellent! I feel you put more historical facts in your stories?!
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.
Great video…Thank you…Have been a couple of times and loved it there…
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!
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.
Fantastic as always. From above you wouldn't know it was there 🙂
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!!
What a great Christmas present to watch. Bama love love loves to watch these. A bit better than exceptional I must say. Can't wait to see more! Merry Christmas to you and Chris. We love the Queen of the Castles Calendar. A perfect gift.
Really enjoyed this one, fascinating! I will stick with the squirrel version though! 👍
Beautiful place
Wow, Wow, Wow… stunning. Beautifully filmed Evelyn.
Really enjoyed this. Wish it was closer for us to explore for our own channel.
Looking forward to more.
Nice knowing the history of a ruin like this. Super filming
Loved the mood ! I wish I could visit it at night now… I guess ghosts have a lot to tell !
Just wow.. stunning place and your video captured it beautifully. Nice work 👍🏻🏰
COME ON, be bold and walk around it three times. Okay how about two and a half times, two maybe ???
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 !
I like Norfolk castle and I like the stock
American who grew up in the UK, loving this channel. I’ve been to so many of these 🙌🏻
Another great one. Thanks for your scholarship, Your Majesty!
Love your videos, informative and professional productions. Your passion for history is infectious.
This was great
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. 🌷 🙏 🙋♀️
I’ve watched all your videos, when will there be more?
