Did Yorkshire eat all the Yorkshire puddings?

great video and very amusing reading the comments of the cities thats didnt make the list for obvious reasons lol

we are missing Chester, Bath and Lincoln, so whole video is discredited to begin with

Fascinating stuff. Thank you for this informative video.

Which county's flag is a gold coloured cross on a black background.

Feels a bit weird having some county flags be these super historic symbols of history while some are radio competition winners, or otherwise recent flags. Im sure the newer ones have historic inspiration but they just feel strange knowing how new some are

Very interesting I going to have to listen again

And the 3 riding of Yorkshire have there own flags as dos south yorkshire

Hello from Cheshire

I live in Cumbria, We definitely have a county flag

Enjoyed that mate, cheers..

Wow, without all those Africans and muslims, we would have nothing. Look what they built for us, we owe them so much, not....

Also Westmoreland used to be a county before it was merged with Cumberland under the name of Cumbria.

did i just miss wiltshire?

If you mean only English then just say so

A tourist could spend an entire holiday travelling from cathedral to cathedral in UK cities...such a rich variety of really beautiful buildings ..with some conducting tours for a small charge..like Durham... Personally..i was overawed by the architecture and majesty of Edinburgh and Liverpool's Anglican...tho the metroplitan cathedral there is also worth a visit

Durham is supposed to be one of, if not the most architecturally rich cathedrals in Europe

Look at the size of the Yorkshire flag. Yorkshire should become independent and be given self rule. If smaller populations like Scotland, Wales and NI can why can't Yorkshire become a nation of its own!

If you’re dealing with historic counties, Monmouthshire was administratively in England from 1541, only became part of Wales in 1974, when it became Gwent and has an officially registered flag.

How come Milton Keynes wasn’t mention ,the way the vikings crafted cows from concrete will for ever baffle historians

Lincolnshire here - can't you just tell the flag we're stuck with was was approved by a committee? What a mess!

Why did you leave out the city and county of Bristol? One of the oldest city counties.

Colchester - prettiest town in Essex ? .... there must be two places called Colchester then 'cause the one i visit is a toilet

Um. There wasn't a UK until the 18th century.

Of course Scotland didn't exist

Amberly is a very nice town too

I live near lewes very nice town

Nonsense. There is no ancient prescriptive rights related to an Anglican cathedral. Show you evidence. It is now, and always was the case that the city status is granted by the sovereign. That a bishop or archbishop was a powerful magnate and close advisers to the king. As for time immemorial, this does have legal status, it is any date before the accession of Richard I (the Lionheart).

Where duse Newcastle come in

Great pubs in York.

Another very enjoyable video. Beeching's boss, the Minster of Transport, Sir Earnest Marples just happened to own a road building company called Ridgeway. So no conflict of interest there then.

That was an interesting journey back in time. I was sure both Bath and Norwich would have been in the oldest top ten charts, how wrong was i. ?

The best is Durham it has so much gping for it both the county and the city . And very reasonably priced

It’s a Wyvern. End of.

Surprised it’s not raciest

Like this

Whittlesea is locally famous for mud walls and the annual straw bear festival. Oliver Cromwell also lived in Ely & the cathedral boasts a stained glass museum. Peterborough also boasts a country park called Ferry Meadows, which is part of the wider Nene Park.

As a resident of Wells I love having the cathedral here.

I thought the Cornish flag was a white cross with a skull above it!

It's sad to see how London is taking over Essex I was born in Rainham it was full of fruit trees and fields and a great Village. Nowdays it looks like London ☹

@12:00 "Cobblers". That was a nice touch of humour. Just don't mention George Best's double hat-trick to the locals.

That's not Durham's flag. It's 4 silver lions and a gold cross on a dark blue field. I should know. I was raised there!

4:54 the Æthelred you mention wasn’t a king (it’s not the later Æthelred the Unready) - the one mentioned was an Ealdorman.

Sorry to disappoint, but the Wiltshire flag is straightforward green and white horizontal bars, representing the two aspects of the shire, the drier chalky hilly downs, most suitable for sheep, (or "chalk") and the wetter grassy north, suitable for dairy farming ("cheese"). The heraldic abortion* you describe here was drawn up in 2007, and has NEVER been accepted by those people of Wiltshire who feel the need for a "county flag". It comes with a psychobabble explanation of all the 'symbolic meanings' behind it. It has, however, been accepted as the flag of Wiltshire Council, an organisation that the population tries to ignore as best it can. *The greatest error is that in heraldics, you CAN NOT put white/silver (argent) and yellow/gold (or) together, unless you are the Pope. There are others.

Or put bluntly, JK Rowling has more cred.

Cumbria has had flag since 1974, its almost identical to the Cumberland

Fascinating stuff, thought i'd use the subtitles to see the historical references, but they were pure gobbledygook.

proud of our rampant dragon..... can't be that rampant never seen more than one dragon!

The colours in the Devonshire flag"green,black,white" is definitely NOT FOR PLYMOUTH For a start the capital city of DEVON is EXETER and its colour is traditionally RED. Our flag is based off a flag flown by lord Exmouth in 1816 of a dark green flag with white circles. The current one is just a modern version that was selected by a local radio show after asking for design's to be sent in, the new flag uses the traditional green from an earlier flag as mentioned above. The green represents THE GREEN ROLLING HILLS OF DEVON the black is: THE WINDSWEPT MOORS OF DARTMOOR AND EXMOOR and the white: IS THE DUAL COAST'S and MINING in general. Its only the young and ill-informed people think its the green of Plymouth and the rugby teams of exeter university. No bloody Devonshire man or woman would put a bloody football team over our green rolling hills or our national park. And if they did it should be RED as in the colour of our capital city in Devon.

Durham was red white& black, shield & cross, until changed, not for the better. In my opinion...in recent years
