Beautiful scenery. I have never seen a wind powered wood mill before...a great invention. I will try and visit it during this years annual Heritage Open days. It’s great that it has been renovated and kept in working condition 👍
Lovely walk! So many interesting & wonderfully historic buildings to see. Manor Houses, Windmills & Chruches, oh my! I think I'm going to have to go watch for a 2nd time!!!😁👍
Hi Richard...another goody...but we keep on seeing these lovely old churches, almost all restored by the Victorians, inveterate restorers and "improvers" it seems...it always reminds me of Betjeman's affectionate parody "Hymn":- The Church’s Restoration In eighteen-eighty-three Has left for contemplation Not what there used to be. How well the ancient woodwork Looks round the Rect’ry hall, Memorial of the good work Of him who plann’d it all.
He who took down the pew-ends And sold them anywhere But kindly spared a few ends Work’d up into a chair. O worthy persecution Of dust! O hue divine! O cheerful substitution, Thou varnished pitch-pine!
Church furnishing! Church furnishing! Sing art and crafty praise! He gave the brass for burnishing He gave the thick red baize, He gave the new addition, Pull’d down the dull old aisle, - To pave the sweet transition He gave th’ encaustic tile. Of marble brown and veinèd He did the pulpit make; He order’d windows stainèd Light red and crimson lake. Sing on, with hymns uproarious, Ye humble and aloof, Look up! and...oh how glorious He has restored the roof.
cogidubnus1953 - I think Buckland church was in such a state that it would have fallen down had the Victorians not got to it - hopefully my next video with Richard will be us going round Buckland and the church
Silly thing to say really but luckily I've never had a shock off an electric fence despite working on a farm years ago where we used to use them. Last summer we were walking in Eyam and my nephew was trying to get me to touch one. I wimped out and I said I'd do it on the way back which after taking ages to pluck up the courage I did but it was turned off. That windmill was extraordinary.
The next part of your walk to Reigate Heath will take you on a footpath past a place where I used to live called Shagbrook. That is where the Buckland Bends are which are so dangerous everyone who lived in the area kept a pile of blankets by their front door and first aid equipment so they could easily go out to help people when there was a crash. Sadly many people were killed there. It was the main road before the M25 was built.
That electric fence made your hair stand on end Richard! That was a simple but very interesting video ( possibly because it's local to where I used to live) You and Matthew seem to work well together, he's very knowledgable and it's really good to see him more relaxed in front of the camera now, there's clearly good synergy between you. Thanks for your continued hard work.
Good to see you two in our neck of the woods again! Did you see the little village shop at Buckland? Its very cute and they do amazing sandwiches/baguettes!
That was a interesting video. I love that milp. I I fpunfld that in my garden I would be very happy! That must be lucky people! Great video well done 👍
Thank you for that 10-minute reprieve from the stresses of life.....the soft sounds and the beautiful scenery was much enjoyed.
So pleased you could enjoy it - shot with the GH4!
Thank you Matthew and Richard for bringing us all these walks.
I am thrilled you enjoy them so much.
Fantastic, a windmill and a 14th century church, loved that bit with the hot wire!
Hee hee - a little comedy on route.
Cracking little video Richard 👍 always a pleasure to see the very knowledgeable Mathew 👏👏
He is a fount of knowledge.
Nice to see Matthew again, all those steps another great walk.
It's been a while since Matthew was on, but hope we can get the next bit done fairy soon.
I love Betchworth, fabulous memories from there. A joy to revisit this place through your eyes. So much to see.
Thanks, Andrew. Must be interesting from your perspective.
Great to see the lovely Mr Holdsworth back on the channel.
Yes, indeedy. It's been too long!
Lovely walk I loved the windmill would have liked it have seen inside to see how it works
Kevin's Rambles - it’s open on one of the heritage open days - I’ll let you know the dates when I can.
@@MrGreatplum many thanks that would be great
It wasn't open that day, Kevin.

It is quite spectacular.

So thrilled you enjoyed the wander. :)
Good to go on a walk with you, Richard! Enjoyed that!
We had fun, and I am looking forward to the next one.

The Church’s Restoration
In eighteen-eighty-three
Has left for contemplation
Not what there used to be.
How well the ancient woodwork
Looks round the Rect’ry hall,
Memorial of the good work
Of him who plann’d it all.
He who took down the pew-ends
And sold them anywhere
But kindly spared a few ends
Work’d up into a chair.
O worthy persecution
Of dust! O hue divine!
O cheerful substitution,
Thou varnished pitch-pine!
Church furnishing! Church furnishing!
Sing art and crafty praise!
He gave the brass for burnishing
He gave the thick red baize,
He gave the new addition,
Pull’d down the dull old aisle,
- To pave the sweet transition
He gave th’ encaustic tile.
Of marble brown and veinèd
He did the pulpit make;
He order’d windows stainèd
Light red and crimson lake.
Sing on, with hymns uproarious,
Ye humble and aloof,
Look up! and...oh how glorious
He has restored the roof.

Nice poem. Need to find some unadulterated churches soon.

If the truth was know - that electric fence was actually off! :)
I appreciate the production values on display in this video (not just this one of course), nicely done Richard. I laughed at the end too!
Thanks Tim. I do try to keep them up, but knocking out a video everyday they do occasionally slip.
morning Richard! Very good.
Thanks, John.

Oh how interesting - I will bring my own blanket, just in case!

Yes indeed, Matthew has become a long way and in now an Internet sensation!
Richard Vobes I’ll pay you later!
Good to see you two in our neck of the woods again! Did you see the little village shop at Buckland? Its very cute and they do amazing sandwiches/baguettes!
Natasha Newton - Art & Life - yes, we had lunch there - excellent food!
Oh yes. Enjoyed a love brie and bacon bagette from there.
@@MrGreatplum We have had quite a few lunches from there - always delicious!
@@RichardVobes All of this is making me want to go and get one of their baguettes now!
That was a interesting video. I love that milp. I I fpunfld that in my garden I would be very happy! That must be lucky people! Great video well done 👍
I am not sure what a milp is.
@@RichardVobes I meant Mill. Fast typring.
Yes.The Windmill is nice.
Yes.Morning.
Ah, so I see the windmill but still don't know where it is in Buckland.
It is round the corner from the church.
@@RichardVobes Ta Richard.
As a Scottish lady was keen to tell me many years ago.
It's "Lay on MacDuff" , Not "Lead on MacDuff"
Oh golly - that changes the meaning!
