Introducing Lays & Lore

A brief introductory video explaining what the Lays & Lore channel is all about. If you are interested in the countryside, English folklore, tradition and heritage you have come to the right place.
So interesting, thank you! I absolutely adore exploring local churches and their graveyards, so much history to be found!
Thank you Nic and I agree - for me though its not just the history and lore but the peace and quiet 🙂
Just watched a couple of you videos. I just wanted to say that the people that believed and practiced a different "pagan" religion before they heard about Christ, saw Christ as the fullfillment of what they already believed. They saw things like the green man, the white stag, as deities that were sheperding them and directing them to the most high God(The Trinity). Which is why you will always see incorporation of the norse gods in their architecture, the green man, the white stage, gargoyles and many other such gods in Christian architecture as they all have their role and place in our lives and in Gods good world. Love your videos. Keep it going!
The Woodwose would be an interesting subject to cover.
Absolutely thank you it is on my 'to do' list 🙂watch this space.
So interesting! I loved it. Thank you.
Much appreciated thank you 🙂
Fascinating. Thank you.
Thank you 🙂
I loved this, thank you. History and the paranormal are my two favourite subjects. Do you think the first story may have been a time slip? I have read of many people experiencing these phenomena and actually interacting with people and places.
Thank you and I personally believe it was a time slip - it is more than a haunting due to its nature and prolonged experience.
I have just found your channel and have subscribed. Love the history and folk lore and even a mention of ghosts. Your voice is good to listen to. Will binge watch. Thank you.
Thank you I really appreciate your comment and welcome aboard 🙂
I found this interesting 🤔
Thank you.
Thank you for this video. The scope of history is interesting.
Thank you very much - glad you enjoyed the video.
It's great to see local folklore get some attention! Well, local for you, I'm in Denmark :D I love the English countryside, I was lucky enough to see a decent slice of it through a train window going from Manchester to London and then on to Salisbury a couple of years ago, it is beautiful!
Thank you very much I agree - but I am biased 🙂as it is definitely a passion of mine!
@@LaysAndLore We're always biased towards our homelands, it's where our souls belong :)
VERY INTERESTING.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
Really good info, but the ai images makes the video hard to enjoy
Thanks for your comment. To keep a weekly schedule I don't have the time to produce all the art myself (I am a digital artist by occupation). The AI art has been heavily modified by me its the only way I can keep up the content delivery and skirt round UA-cam's brutal copyright restrictions I'm afraid. I hope you can still enjoy the videos.
I think the green man and the Woodwose or wild man as well as the modern Bigfoot phenomenon are all connected
Nice insight! Love your videos💙💙
Thank you
Yay Carlisle cathedral gets a mention. I'll have to go look now to satisfy my curiosity about the green man
Let me know how you get on
Interesting video, thank you 😊
Thank you, wasn't sure about this one but glad I did it 🙂
Another great video, thank you 😊
Thank you very much.
Very interesting, great video. Great mix of history and stories of hauntings. Love the paranormal accounts.
Thank you very much - glad you enjoyed it I have a lot more to come 🙂
Really enjoyed this! Great job on the storytelling 🙂
Thank you so much Nic glad you enjoyed - watched your Hellfire Club video...now I'm even more jealous 🙂
@@LaysAndLore it was definitely worth the trip!
Cheddar is on my list! Haven't been there for years. Great video once again. There's definitely a west country twang to the narration on this one.... 🤔
Perhaps I might bump into you next time 🙂- and the 'twang' is strong in this one despite my best telephone voice effort!
@@LaysAndLore you sound fabulous 👌🏻
Wonderful place, amazing history 😊
Yes one of my favourite places to visit - such a shame about Cox's Mill being levelled it was kind of an iconic building in the Gorge. Thanks.
Stunning location ! Brought back some childhood memories of visits there 😊 thanks for sharing !! Much enjoyed .
Thank you very much - I used to visit intentionally in January/February as they usually close the Gorge road so they can clear the debris and loose rocks. You can walk right through the Gorge on the road with no traffic!
Bit late in commenting but i found this fascinating to watch and listen to.
Thank you I am really pleased you enjoyed it.
Wonderful 😊
Thank you very much.
Came over from Nic's channel walking the wyrd😊
Welcome aboard I am really pleased to see you and I hope you enjoy my content.
Brilliant intro !! Looking forward to seeing more from you 😊
Thank you very much - I really appreciate the comment and I am pleased you like the video.
Beautiful photography and wonderful narration. I look forward to seeing more from your channel!
Thank you very much I do get a sense of achievement when it goes up 🙂 unfortunately the narration isn't me I am not brave enough for that...yet, not sure if a broad Somerset accent would work! 😂
Wonderful introductory video, so looking forward to your future content 😊
Thank you so much really appreciated.
