    What a delight! We visited Adlestrop on our Jane Austen tour two years ago. We investigated the church and met a local orange tabby cat who basked in our attentions. What a lovely memory!

    Thank you for this enlightening episode. The use of dramatic Dickensian phraseology when describing the beautiful medieval church painting
    (...while others are being dragged into hell where the fearsome figure of Satan, surrounded with his Imps, awaits them...) is well worth a watch of this video.
    Charles Dickens would have approved. Well done, as always!

    Robin, I find it completely, rather, exquisitely interesting the ancient, fascinating history of England and of the entire UK as far as that is concerned. It is so inextricably intertwined with our’s here in the USA. Not that it is a surprise, obviously, because of our colonial past, but more-so because of the names of places and etymology! Real people remembered real places, some so obscure, no one had, or currently has any idea of the origin! So many names of all but forgotten villages, towns and communities re-invented in the USA. Some thriving even today, some who have faced similar fates to their predecessors! I submit, this is very cool!!! Love the show! Please keep them coming!

    • @robinshuckburgh5561
      @robinshuckburgh5561 Před 3 lety +1

      I have always been fascinated how often, when researching places here, using the borderless internet, searches produce multiple duplications of these ancient Saxon and Roman names in the US and elsewhere. The world is a smaller place than we sometimes realise. I am glad you enjoy watching us. Please do continue.

    Yes. I remember Adlestrop-
    The name, because one afternoon
    Of heat the express-train drew up there
    Unwontedly. It was late June.
    The steam hissed. Someone cleared his throat.
    No one left and no one came
    On the bare platform. What I saw
    Was Adlestrop-only the name
    And willows, willow-herb, and grass,
    And meadowsweet, and haycocks dry,
    No whit less still and lonely fair
    Than the high cloudlets in the sky.
    And for that minute a blackbird sang
    Close by, and round him, mistier,
    Farther and farther, all the birds
    Of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire.
    Edward Thomas
    ❤❤❤❤❤

    St Nicholas is indeed a wonder and hopefully no one will pass it by, it being somewhat off the usual track. The Fox in Oddington is the perfect spot to enjoy a meal and think about what you just saw down the lane...

    Lovely video Robin. We discovered St Nicholas church by accident when walking from Daylseford Farm a couple of months ago. What a wonderful place. Along similar lines, I’d recommend a visit to St Leonard’s in Lower Lemington (just north of Moreton). Similar ancient church in a pretty little hamlet.

I hope you get to return to Middleton Cheney soon. (It's a little outside our patch I am afraid so we won't be giving it the Explorer Treatment.)
