Thank you, very informative

Love the folklore videos.

Hey, I’m studying to become a Priest in the Anglo-Catholic tradition of the C of E and as a result have done many studies on English church and Reformation history and I must say you did a stellar job here! You balanced the other factors apart from theology which went into the reformation and managed to avoid falling into many Protestant and Catholic whitewashing narratives. You also managed not to over secularise the past and make out that religion was the enemy. For someone as well informed as yourself that probably seems obvious but for most people this part of history gets very dicey and they feel like they have to pick a side. Also well done with your presenting! Very informative, clear, unbiased and interesting, 10 out of 10. Keep it up! Also if you like I can recommend some good books on the English Reformation if interested. God bless.

Nice I like folklore content.

Marvelous Catherine. I recommend a book (if you haven't already read it). It's called The Road to Wigan Pier' by George Orwell. He toured the north, particularly in Lancashire and Yorkshire and spent some time down the pit! He gives a great account of life in mining towns and villages. It's my favourite book and is represented well on Audio book. He, of course, provides the political angle.

Only found this August 2024, quite impressed, well done. As an Irishman whose father worked in the armaments industry in England during WW2, I always appreciate this sort of presentation.

Very nicely done. Props to modifying Arthur Harris’s famous quote (recently also modified by Ukrainians on Social Media swapping ‘boob’ with ‘invade’ due to Kursk). Also aside from the comprehensive look at all aspects, to include Bomber Commands role does something usually overlooked in most documentaries.

One thing I've really noticed with League & Union comments, all these union fans who comment about how their sport is better blah blah blah...to the point they start getting abusive & go on these childish rants...I'm better than you..B/S

Informative as always.

We believe we can clear up a misunderztandung. That's indeed a good question. Yes, it is correct that of course it is in fact the case that Chief Air Marshall Frederick William Bowhill, Air chief marshal Sir Frederick William Bowhill, GBE, KCB, CMG, DSO & Bar (1 September 1880 - 12 March 1960), a senior commander in the Royal Air Force before and during World War II, of course did not state at anytime that the Gloster Meteor was a lacklustre or dismal aircraft & nobody ever claimed that Gloster engineers tried everything but flying it backwards.

I'm here after being heartbroken after seeing Thruscross yesterday for the first time since 2019 after the moved away from the area 😢 I didn't know what had happened, I only saw 2 other on my walk, so gutted not to be able to walk down by the brook before you go up onto the moors

*The basic overall design of the Meatbox was fatally flawed.* *Gloster continuously tried to improve the aircraft eg; improved tail, stronger fuselage and different wings, stronger wings, ect.* *Unfortunately as a result of being very hastily converted from a twin propeller driven nightfighter design it was plagued with flaws inherent to the fundamental design.* *It was directionally unstable at nearly all speeds and tended to pitch down uncontrollably at low speeds and a nasty tendency to snap into a flat spin at high speed.* *The asymmetric handling was appallingly and was considered unrecoverable and fatal during take-off or a go- around.* *RAF Cheif Air Marshall Sir Frederick William Bowhill called the Meatbox a quote; **_"a truly dismal and lackluster aircraft"_* *Sydney Camm said Gloster tried everything but flipping the engines and pilot seat around and flying it backwards.*

William Bradford was my 13th Great Grand Father.

Another great one, and rightly drawing much deserved attention to the merchant navy and the essential role they played. I had heard that merchant sailors lost pay privileges from the point of the ship's loss, so the sometimes weeks still at sea in desperate conditions awaiting possible rescue was "unpaid overtime". I had a great uncle who was a conscientious objecter who joined the merchant navy and was torpedoed 3 times, twice spending (once more particularly) extensive time before getting picked up.

Great stuff. It's not often I learn about a battle I'd not heard of, especially, embarrassingly one from a well explored period almost on my doorstep. Thank you for enlightening me. Nice, concise but packed with all the useful relevant stuff. Looking forward exploring more from you.

It can be hard to maintain a hopeful or positive out look to be sure.

What is worse than war?

Girl ought escape to America now!!

Pomp oh tox !!

Really enjoyed this👍

It’s kind of hard to take the allegories to colonialism seriously, especially nowadays since we know a lot of the "uncomfortable realities" about European colonialism are either half truths or straight up lies. So it makes sense that modern adaptations don’t include them since the old European empires are practically gone so propaganda slandering them is a mute point🤷🏻‍♂️

This is one of my favourite videos on your channel

We love your videos and have even bought your book. If I may suggest a topic. My great grandmother was born in Wentworth, her father was listed on the 1851 census as a gardener born in Long Thorpe Cambridgeshire. Research shows many of his relatives worked at Wentworth Woodhouse and it’s assumed he did as well. The wonderful book Black Diamonds by Catherine Bailey solved the mystery of why he moved to Yorkshire, a tranfere from Milton Hall near Long Thorpe owned by the son of the owner of Wentworth Woodhouse Earl Fitzwilliamaiam I’m sure you could make a brilliant You Tube video about the Big House and the Fitzwilliam dynasty.

At the time of 1381 the hierarchy of the church like Sudbury were very much involved in politics , as they remained in to this day sitting in the House Of Lords . He was advocating the unfair Poll Tax and was rightly seen as the " Peasants " enemy . Of course tithes were further burdening the poorer people . Ironically it was the King himself , Henry Viii , who destroyed much of the power and wealth of the church . His reformation was not really about doctrine but just a way for Henry to get rich . It's quite well known that he preferred the catholic liturgy .

Wycliffe should be more famous . Most of the reform ideas were taken up by Luther years later . Luther turned out to be a reactionary in fact . Being in latin the clergy was able to subvert the true teaching of the Gospel and make their own alternative narrative and lifestyle . Amazingly even though people can mostly read , at least in the West . Christian groups still follow a right wing political agenda ; completely alien to Christs teachings . John Bull was certainly influential in the Peasant's Revolt and he was influenced by Lollards . Later we have the Levellers in the time of Cromwells take over . Of course he may have been willing to kill the king but he didn't want equality . Of course the Acts of the Apostles ; clearly show early christian practice a sort of communal lifestyle with no hierarchy .

Informative as always.

Teddy's had some work done on his nose. Don't sweat it, Teddy. So has half of Hollywood!

Thanks Cath. Good little presentation.

So interesting, there could be a video about each of those objects.

I would love to see more of the diary, its so rare to get a glimpse into regular people's lives in the 19th century. if I'm ever in the UK I will try to give the museum a visit. Hi from Canada!

This was very interesting! I sent the video to my mum and she thinks one of the cases of the threads may have been one she donated to the museum a while back 😄

Thank you from New Zealand a very interesting video

Fantastic video.Been to skipton many times, and never been in the craven museum,but definitely will visit next time 👍🏼

:D :D :D

So many Northern workers supported the Slaves , despite losing their livelihood due to the American Civil War cotton shortages .

Once cycled through Skipton on a bike ride from London to Edinburgh . Wish I had known about the Museum would have looked in .

Great video! Thank you! Regards from Canada 🇨🇦

This video is insane! I love it, something that BBC could show! I cannot wait for more 🙂

Coooool! 👍🏻

Teddy survived because of a diet of marmalade sandwiches,. Great upload, more more

That snaky musical instrument is called a Serpent. Really. No kidding.

Why are their no girls like this where I live 😢

A'reyt Catherine. Interesting tales from Craven, land of my ancestors.

It is a well known fact that Teddy Bears are splendid swimmers

What did the British ever do for the Romans! …. Great documentary as well.

I love the way you made Ted's ship illustration bob up and down with the waves
