    Years ago I attended a wedding at this church. Completely forgot til your video jarred my memory! It is a beautiful church! Never realized C.S. Lewis was buried here. I enjoy your calm and relaxing voice. Always look forward to your videos!

    Graveyard's are affiliated with a church and are typically located on church grounds, Cemeteries are not associated with a church. They tend to be larger than graveyards. it's a great series you're doing in the UK thank you for coming here Chris.

    What an GLORIOUS Church! WOW! They don’t build churches like that anymore. We bought the Chronicles Of Narnia 15 years ago, on a trip to and from South Dakota, listening to it all the way. What spectacular books and stories. C.S. Lewis sure rests in a very peaceful place, stunning. Thank you for the video! 😊❤️🙏

    Aldous Huxley also died on that same day with President Kennedy and C.S. Lewis. There is a book "Between Heaven and Hell" by Peter Kreeft which imagines them all meeting for a discussion after passing. He uses it as a vehicle to compare the philosophies of the three men.

    The author Aldous Huxley also died on November 22, 1963.
    Not a death, but one other thing that happened that fateful day is that Walt Disney decided that some ranch land in Orlando would be the site of his new theme park.

    Kinda binge watching your stuff, as I'm brand new to the channel. You do a fantastic job, commentary is great as well! I do have one critique.Going all the way across the pond to tour medieval England and not include any interaction with locals seems like such a missed opportunity! I noticed, particularly at Oxford, you go out of your way to avoid people! How great would it have been to speak to residents of that medieval village! Family and local history, stories, folklore etc!
