Thanks as always Allan. I recognise stiff leaves now thanks to you! So many architectural details in one church! I love the enthusiasm of Teddy, surely a junior antiquarian!
Thank you for this! That really greatly improved an otherwise dreary 20 minutes! It would make a lovely church. Once obviously loved and with several altars a place that was used. Lovely to see Teddy getting involved. God bless!
He does enjoy being in these videos - though I did find him clinging to the outside of the pulpit like a rock climber when I was filming part of this!!!!
Very good lecture, and I loved seeing your little boy popping up in all different places! I would love to step back in time for an hour to see medieval children playing among those same stones in just such a manner. ❤️ - Eugenia M
Hi Allan. I just visited Coventry this past September. While there we visited Holy Trinity Church. It was beautiful and interesting. Have you visited there ever? Of, course we walked all around the cathedral ruins while there. Just fascinating to be up close to the original architecture that’s still visible.
Thank you for that very interesting description of the chapel. I am a bit perplexed by the winged skulls though. I shudder to think about using such images on our own family plaque. Do they have some meaning which would justify their use. Your comments about the various architectural styles is very interesting and I have learned a lot from your commentary.
Hi Allan, just recently found your video's and so happy that I did! Brings back wonderful memories of my Uni days in the content you cover. Keep up the wonderful work - thank you !
I'm interested in the ecclesiastical furniture. I see some stools and a chest at 9:52 that look very, very old. And what was that wall cupboard used for? Some of these pews look modern, with larger seating than some of the really ancient pews that you have shown us. But on my! how upright! I also saw some interesting ceiling architecture...date....style?
Towards the end of the video you show a piscina adjacent to what was presumably an altar at the east of the south aisle. It seemed a shallow area so what was the purpose of the altar here? If a memorial chapel then presumably to the family who paid for the C14 rebuild and possibly endowed the church ?
Dr Barton, Does the Ogee arch have middle eastern origin? I’m immediately reminded of Islamic architecture. Would this church have a crusaders influence?
Is it possible that the senior 14th century English stained glass makers were decimated by plague and weren’t able to pass on the tricks of the trade to the younger ones that survived? Maybe the good Flemish glassmakers had a better way to pass their knowledge to younger generations? Wrote it down somewhere? Had a couple younger gifted ones? 🤷🏼♀️ I only ask.
It is sad there is a population shortage. A whole village could fit into that church , with all the beautiful pews and chairs. Please return and cover more history of how it came to be redundant and it’s glory days.
Excellent, thank you. It was also great to see Teddy, whose joyous smile never fails to make me grin in like manner!
My pleasure, he is a very jolly child and loves nothing better than getting out and about.
I’m not religious, but the history is what I love.
Another great video and detailed explanation of what to look out for. Also great to see young Teddy taking an interest!
An old church, given new life by the fresh young Teddy! Thanks for that! Thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Thanks as always Allan. I recognise stiff leaves now thanks to you! So many architectural details in one church! I love the enthusiasm of Teddy, surely a junior antiquarian!
My pleasure 😊. As for Teddy, who knows! 😆
Very enjoyable video, Allan and an excellent architectural history lesson!
Thanks Steve, I nearly came a cropper to bring you that discourse on stiff leaf and keel mouldings. It's dangerous this churchcrawling lark.
Wow! That was interesting Hi Teddy! Enjoy the video ! Beautiful wooden archways .
Your videos bring me great happiness. Your explanations are thorough and masterful!
Thank you very much! Glad you're enjoying my channel.
What a great channel in getting a great visual education.

Loved the commentary, particularly on the stained glass: "Absolutely appalling." 😊
Fun stuff! Keep up the good work! Excellent job! Well done.
Really enjoyed this tour. Thank you.
Beautiful church. Nice to see Teddy 😊

Please tell Teddy hello from California, not to far from Disneyland.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with so many.
Very interesting. Glad you introduced Teddy, I thought he was a ghost.
😆
Hi Teddy! What a great video. Thank you.
Thank you - Teddy says hi - he likes to know if people have enjoyed the video.
@@allanbarton I just saw this. Thank you for responding. I feel like you are celebrities.
@@norarowland1912 I think Teddy is certainly a celebrity.
Delightful! (And most informative). Thank you (and Teddy)
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching!

Hello Teddy from Tampa , Florida USA
Hi Allan, just recently found your video's and so happy that I did! Brings back wonderful memories of my Uni days in the content you cover. Keep up the wonderful work - thank you !
Thanks and welcome. What did you do at uni?
I really enjoyed looking round with you both. Thanks for the tour.
Our pleasure.
Hi Dr. Barton, a question; do you think the Victorian porch was a solution designed to protect the weatherbeaten entryway?
I'm interested in the ecclesiastical furniture. I see some stools and a chest at 9:52 that look very, very old. And what was that wall cupboard used for? Some of these pews look modern, with larger seating than some of the really ancient pews that you have shown us. But on my! how upright!

Teddy is adorable
He is a treasure, thank you.
Educational.

Very interesting..and you are very knowledgeable. Good that you didn't fall. Yikes. Lol
I am clumsy and walking and holding a camera proved too much. 🙃
Dr Barton,

Dumb question - are these churches still used for worship?
This one isn't, there isn't much of a village here.
It is sad there is a population shortage. A whole village could fit into that church , with all the beautiful pews and chairs. Please return and cover more history of how it came to be redundant and it’s glory days.
Me: Trying to explain your history lessons to my husband..epic fail!
nvm … I’ll send him the link ❤😂
Best to send the link!!!!
I dont think the stained glass is absolutely appaling! Just not the best, and badly reset.
