Greetings from the lost colony of America! I was a carpenter for 45 years and I can tell you that the carpentry skills of those days are unsurpassed in quality compare with today's world. I can't imagine any new home standing for hundreds of years. I'm Scots -Irish and very proud of my heritage, God bless great Britain and all the wonderful people of the British Isles.
I'm right there with you, brother. 45 years a carpenter, now 70, stil building. I stand in awe of the guys who were doing this work so long ago, with only the most basic of tools. Carpentry is extremely labor intensive, even WITH electricity, not to mention without it!

Those churches and cathedrals blow my mind. I love your approach of talking about the people who actually were the craftsmen, and your common sense straightforward approach.
About 6 or 7 years ago I was watching this guys videos daily on how to wire a thermostat or some other random stuff while renovating a house. Now randomly a vide pops up of him talking about my home town. Pretty cool, and I have to say as somebody already familiar with a lot of what’s covered in this video he has got the details spot on and clearly taken his time with the research. Very credible bloke clearly. Fantastic video.
Roger, as a time served bricklayer, I would just like to thank a plumber, (yes I know, un-heard of) for supporting my profession and the other masons, the stone masons. Bricklayers are much maligned these days but there are still thousands of us that can do the fine work you show. 99.9% of your viewers will live in a house built by one of my colleagues. We are important, even the 10 Downing St is build by one of us. (Flemish Bond for those that are interested.) Not sure why you chose Hereford but I am pleased you did.
I am absolutely with you on this one. I am heritage surveyor who came from the trades. I was an ornamental plasterer with 35 years of working on, and restoring ancient buildings I always studied the exposed with a view to imagining the trades and working out how it was done and the materials utilised. IT REALLY MATTERED. The stories I tell the interested are many. Now in my 70s I still practise. Sadly I have to state, the quality and care taken is - various, partly due to the lack of professional training of young enthusiastic trades. OK staggering off my soap box now :) Passion is the key.... I still have that.
I am born and bred Herefordian, and walk my dog round by the cathedral most days taking in the magnificent craftsmanship. The rest of Hereford Town has some real gems of quality builds including the recent Holmer bricks of the Victorian times. Bricks that will last a lifetime. The days when they built to a standard not a cost.
Well done Roger, highlighting the invisible builders. The hugely skilled, the talented, the persistent the strong backs, that built/build our world... Keep up the good work Roger.
Some fantastic buildings and craftsmanship. Even back then there was no doubt a pecking order of trades. The stone carvers would have been highly regarded. I used to work on commercial shop rebuilds. We could spend months doing all the main structural work. Nobody cared, apart from hurry up. Then the shop fitters came in with cosmetic bling. The customers would go weak at the knees with how wonderful their work was. A few sheets of ply and a bit of moulding. I bet the guys laying thousands of stones for next to nothing called them some equivalent of glory boys. Our name for shop fitters. I always seek out religious buildings to look at the structures and the skill of the workers. One good legacy of the church being so rich.
I've watched several of your videos in a row and enjoyed them. You have a great grasp of how everything fits together that is unique, probably because you're a builder rather than an academic. Your work is on a level with the best I've seen. Thank you so much.
09:26 Oh, mate, that fence to your left!! Absolutely gorgeous! Those treenail pegs, I love how they haven't been cut flush with the rails. And the alternating heights and the act they aren't dead straight. Wow. That's a piece of sculpture.
Hi Roger, I'm from Hereford and my family still live there. My grandad used to work in the cathedral, he was the grounds keeper. One of his jobs was to keep the fires going, as a kid I used to help him and chrismas mornings we would go and fill the fires with coal and wood to keep them going
I'm from Australia and visited the cathedral and Kilpeck Church when I was in UK in 2015. Thanks for showing them again. The cathedral was one of the few in the world with a chained library which was the original reason for visiting Hereford but I enjoyed the cathedral for its general history including the crypt and the mappa mundi. There are chained libraries in Wimbourne Minster church and St Walbergers church in Zutphen in the Netherlands that I visited on the same trip. An interesting piece of history. Keep up the good work.
Does amaze me how they built some of these. Got a 800 year old church near me. . Love the subject and the way Roger told the stories. Even my wife paid attention.
As a time served Bench Joiner, I can't help but marvel at the work displayed in cathedrals and old churches. Like yourself, Roger, I think of the logistics, the time spent crafting those timber and stone pieces and wish I had the skills they had. But, cost is has been the price of craftsmanship, everyone wants it cheaper and most people don't want to pay the price for proper craftsmanship.
From Alachua, Florida USA. Thank you. Hats off to the ones who actually bring the idea to life! Could not build it today. No craftsmen, too much regulation. They did it without power tools.
As a fan of history who started watching your channels to help me do my house up. These videos are a real gem and so well presented. You really bring history alive, telling the story about the ordinary talented folk who built these monuments.
I have watched many, many of your videos, Roger; (initially due to my husbands interest in DIY). However, your down to earth approach, expert advice and high standards reeled me in very quickly! For me, these videos are the best yet. I have no religious bent either; but have always appreciated old churches and other historic structures in this beautiful island of ours. I hope that you will continue to produce these, and that you are enjoying them as much as we are. Thank you! 😊
Like yourself I and many others are not religious but visit these places to marvel over the design and craftsmanship which give so much character to a town.
WELL SAID SIR!, I feel exactly the same when, without sleight of mouth, an 'architect' becomes the 'builder' even though we know they wouldn't want to get any building site crp on their fine clothes, or drink tea with the peasants every morning. I subscribed because of your reaction, brilliant!.
From the USA here and just discovered this channel. Absolutely brilliant! I share your enthusiasm for the craftsmen who did this work so many years ago, And applaud those who continue to this day.....Ill be binge watching your shows. Thanks for doing this.
Loved this video, great to see the stoneworkers being appreciated these days. In York the masoms work area is also visible, when I was a student there I would love to watch them working.
Raised in Catholic School, taught the Classics. I have always been amazed at the Medieval Architecture, unreal really! Some of the Indian Hindu Architecture defies human capability with available tools technical knowledge and ability.
Never fail to be amazed by these buildings, even with my experience of modern skyscrapers and the like. Can't imagine the wonder of people when they were new, having seen little more than a mud hut and no media other than their own experience. They may be a long time ago with simple technology, by my God they knew how to use it!
fantastic addition to the series! In my travels to different countries, I’m amazed by the incredinle buildings and statues that people in the past an ancient peoples have been able to build. We’d struggle to replicate some of the great sites, especially those in supposedly primitive peasant class and “undeveloped” countries. Excited to see this series continue!
Thanks for the lesson on craftsmen gone by , I love hearing how things used to be done, and from someone who used to do it themselves instead of listening to a paid TV talking head.
Nice one Roger fascinating stuff poking around the old historic buildings. We were in Shrewsbury a month ago for a little break, another interesting old town with stacks of history. Thanks, love these vids.
Wonderful video,Roger👌 The standard of craftsmanship in old churches and cathedrals is astonishing. About 20 years ago I visited Wells Cathedral for an afternoon and marvelled at the incredible detail in the carved masonry work. We need you to follow this video up with a visit to some of the stonemasons who restore/repair these magnificent structures.
I really enjoyed that, love this sort of history. I have often wondered. Be good for people learning about this art. The ceilings always reminded me of boats as you stated. Be good as a holiday package too. Loved the honest approach pointing out faulty workmanship great learning. I loved it so cool even for someone like me who loves the old buildings from the dark, obviously scary ages. ❤👍🏾👌🏾🤘🏾
Hi Roger This country has a wealth of history that is usually open for all of us to enjoy , even the climate is often not that bad . Yet many fly to foreign climes purely for the sunshine , something that just doesn’t appeal to me . Fascinating programme as usual , and reveals yet more hidden treasures which can be easily overlooked . As for the holes in the stone walls , I wonder if they may have been for defence purposes . In those days they weren’t averse to pouring boiling oil or tar on the invading army’s , even the plumbers friend lead would be boiled up to use on the unsuspecting foes . Just a thought with nothing to back it up of course 😂 Kind regards to all
I live in Hereford, I can assure you those heaters in the Cathedral still work and they’re beasts. They do an incredible job of keeping the Cathedral toasty in the winter. Come back in December to see for yourself.
This has to be the best documentary I've ever seen on any historic building. One really attentive pair of eyes, coupled to a properly inquisitive brain, and the courage to show warts and all. Absolutely fascinating.
Love the passion you have for your craft and the historic buildings Roger. Hopefully it’ll rub off on some young people thinking about getting into construction
Thank you craftsman for noticing your peers of old, and thank you sir for presenting a different view on a familiar view, few people today (or in past times) would notice the nuances of a used, reused, and reused again familiar building unless they were a trained historian or researcher, but a builder who knows their trade! GOLD. Do this again, and "Time team" beware. Very well done.🤠
Wow! , you've do it again sir! , I've been to Hereford twice , once as a kid in 1976,with my dad, there was an open day at the Bulmers cider factory , with steam engines !, (one was the Princess Elizabeth ( Red) as seen on the Queens 50th juberlee on t.v) sorry can't cant remember the other one , when they used to have the rails going directly in the factories , the other time was 20 years ago, again by train , could see the cathedral , the Bulmers place had gone , so l went home again! , thank you again !.
Love the Kill Peck comment! My nephew and his family lived near a Slaughter House Road in a small town called Klangadoo in South Australia. For some macabre reason it always makes me smile!
Thoroughly enjoyed your video. Thank you. An entirely different appreciation of the craftsmanship in our churches. Next time I visit a church, as I often do, will do so with much more understanding.
I had breakfast on the mezzanine yesterday. Not very observant of me I didn't notice that carving ! Too busy with the bacon ! I'll seek it out next time. Thank you, really well presented , it's good to see parts of Hereford through the camera's lens for a change.
I love how you pay tribute to the actual craftsmen! Their art is the true legacy!!!
“The horny-handed sons of toil did the hard graft”…wonderful ! God bless them !
Absolutely beautiful ancient construction artwork.

Americans love to say they're Irish or Scottish 😅
Most of them are actually English
You can tell by the language they speak
I'm right there with you, brother. 45 years a carpenter, now 70, stil building. I stand in awe of the guys who were doing this work so long ago, with only the most basic of tools. Carpentry is extremely labor intensive, even WITH electricity, not to mention without it!

I had to pause to look at each awe inspiring constructions and the amazing craftsmanship that made it possible
Really good quality production, as good as any, thank you.

Thank you for this amazing video! 👍👍
Now this is excellent content please do a series like this 👏
The Michael Moseley of the building world. Excellent Mr Bisby.
Hang on a minute Michael Mosley came to sticky end, can't you find another comparison?
Well done Roger...a great watch and your enthusiasm for history is much appreciated 👍👍
I live in Hereford, I can assure you those heaters in the Cathedral still work and they’re beasts. They do an incredible job of keeping the Cathedral toasty in the winter. Come back in December to see for yourself.
That is amazing, I would love to feel them in operation
Top video thanks roger and team !!
Another really interesting and entertaining video Roger. Look forward to the next one.
I would recommend Ken Follett’s “ The Pillars of the Earth” as something to read after watching this excellent video
I have just ordered all four in the series, thanks
This has to be the best documentary I've ever seen on any historic building. One really attentive pair of eyes, coupled to a properly inquisitive brain, and the courage to show warts and all. Absolutely fascinating.
PS I completely agree with you in having no interest in religion as such, but all the same many of the artefacts it generated are amazing.
10/10 great information, engaging and light hearted
One word 'Fascinating'

loved it mate class work 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I like seeing history from a different perspective. It is down to the craftsmen's skills, that these great designs have not faded with time.
Thanks Roger, another great episode. 👍

Thoroughly enjoyed your video. Thank you.
An entirely different appreciation of the craftsmanship in our churches.
Next time I visit a church, as I often do, will do so with much more understanding.
I had breakfast on the mezzanine yesterday. Not very observant of me I didn't notice that carving ! Too busy with the bacon !
I'll seek it out next time. Thank you, really well presented , it's good to see parts of Hereford through the camera's lens for a change.
