David Suchet is not only the consummate embodiment of Hercule Poirot, but a wonderful actor and speaker!
Absolutly
Mr Suchet has the perfect voice to narrate.
Sir David; not Mr. Suchet.
I agree! Sir David Suchet is a national treasure ❤. A world treasure also.
Ah, the wonderful David Suchet. What a lovely presentation. I look forward to Episode 2.
I am not native english speaker, but Mr. Suchet explain so nice that I understood near everything. I would like to visit all those places bue I cann't now I am old, thank you so much for the opportunity to see the faith and the love to God of the britain people around the siecles.
God bless you. ❤
Yes. These walks online are a life saver for us older folk. Walking online with you❤
Mr.Suchet has also spoken the Gospels from Westminster Abbey and documentaries walking Paul's pathways. Very inspiring. God Bless you 🙏
@@maggers1278 Thank you so much.
@hildasalazarcatedraparalavida Your very welcome 🙏
Watched all three parts back to back and enjoyed every minute, now I will rest my little grey cells.
What a joy to have the gravitas of Mr Suchet narrate this
Loved this program. And David is such a treasure too!
A few years back I walked the pilgrims way with some friends from Salisbury to Winchester to Canterbury ..
I cannot get used to see him without Poirot’s mustache!😄
Thank you for this wonderful journey with a dear companion, Mr. Suchet. Our heartbroken world needs this, now more than ever. Grateful in Canada.
I too am from Canada and yean for worship such as we see here. God bless.
@@norinefitzgerald5259 God Bless you too, Norine. Have a wonderful day.
Being Anglican myself and brought up by a staunch Anglican father born in Queen Victoria's age, a great deal of this English history was familiar, even here in Australia, but the association with the particular cathedrals was fascinating. Thank you. And Thank you Mr Suchet as well.
@catherinejones9396 When the Anglican Church decided to go for ordaining women to be priests, I left the Anglican Church forever. They had a screenshot on this episode of a woman in a priest's collar and she looked ridiculous. All the beauty that once was in the old Church is long gone. They've turned all the altars around, dumped the old Prayer Book for modern language and they have "alter girls"
@@garywilliams7454 I'm sorry. I guess Your God would understand how you feel. I hope you find some happiness.
@@catherinejones9396 Sorry. No female priests
@@garywilliams7454 I guess you are correct re the terminology at least. They should be referred to as priestesses, and Garry, in accordance with the Christian Bible, God created both male and female to serve him and once both fell from his grace, luckily he at least left them intelligence and the will to choose their own ways to live, act and be in this very sad old world. Goodbye Garry.
@@catherinejones9396 For centuries Church of England priests have been exclusively male. The 1970s saw the end of traditional Anglicanism. As to "God" creating male and female to "serve" him, well, to me, this is way, way off the mark. Why would god require anybody at ALL to "serve" him? As to the Adam and Eve story and the supposed "fall of man" there is absolutely no evidence that Adam and Eve ever existed. None whatsoever.
What a wonderful journey. It felt like I was on a Pilgrimage myself.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all those people who have made these series. And David Suchet is brilliant.
His Bible audiobooks are great as well. One of my UA-cam favorites.
David Suchet is a wonderful actor, orator and human being. Loved this. Thank you so much. Subscribed xx Teresa 🇦🇺♥
We’ve taken so many of these pilgrimages, and will probably spend the rest of our lives walking portions of them. We’re completely taken in, and have, I’ll venture to say, experienced a handful of miracles, most likely more that we were blissfully unaware of. Often it seems an academic approach to history and culture can be like plucking the wings off a butterfly, but these pilgrimages restore flight to wonder!
Whenever I see that view of Durham above the river my breath catches in my throat. 🤯
I've been lucky enough to see so many Cathedrals in Europe and the UK, but none has left me as awestruck as Wells Cathedral.
I like the idea of pilgrimage and hope to start embarking someday. To the Cathedral of my diocese, to Walsingham, to Cathedral of Westminster, to Rome and to the Holy Land.
When there are prayer intentions rattling around in my mind, I've often found that pilgrimage is the best thing to do. Some physical and financial effort, bodily taking them to a holy place, and asking the saints who are still at work there to take over, has brought a lot of peace. And you always returns from pilgrimage a bit different - it changes you 😊
I agree :)
I'm not a religious person but I recognise the great beauty and awe inspired by these glorious buildings.
A pilgrimage inspired by the power and dedication of the people of faith ,by their spirit and beauty ,and you have done it perfectly !
Thank you so much for this splendid presentation !❤🙏
Thank you. I loved this. A wonderful journey from the comfort of my home. ❤
Wonder after Wonder, this magnificent pilgrimage towards these beautiful England's cathedrals is a must for architecture, history and art lovers, besides their beliefs, me specially loved Wells so you better choose your favorite guided by the voice of the extraordinaire actor David Suchet. Enjoy it and God bless you all!❤
I so enjoyed this journey I will never be able to see these all some I have had the pleasure of visiting. Thank you so much from Cape Town
David Suchet is a great speaker and actor
What a wonderful presentation! Thank you for uploading this.
Thank you so much 👏🏼💕💓💗🇦🇺💕💓💗🏴🏴🏴🇮🇪🇬🇧🇦🇺👏🏼👏🏼💕💓💗 can’t wait for the next one 👍💗💓💕
How many wonderful and faithful Catedral!
Thank you for this video.
Greetings from Italy!
Thanks for this marvellous program and David's wonderful English voice I visited England in the 70 was enchanted with the history and ancient buildings
Beautiful ❤! Thank you for sharing this incredible video!!!!! It always amazes me at the detail of work inside and outside of the cathedrals! How they built these fantastic places in those times! Brilliant 🎉❤!
Chanced upon this video. For me seeing the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela was my Wow and humbling moment. We have visited some of these too,hope to visit the rest. Thank you Poirot oops Mr Suchet
I loved everything about this wonderful video!! From David Sushay, to the historical information, to the amazing views of these God honoring
buildings....and the music is exquisite!!!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you for sharing. I loved it!
Beautifully narrated by Sir David !
I made a pilgrimage many years ago, to the Spanish missions in San Antonio, Texas, beginning with Mission San Antonio de Valero, also known as The Alamo. I enjoyed it much; there is peacefulness in them.
A lovely video. I'm going to go to all of them starting this weekend to Southwark.
Really nice narrative, lovely to listen to..
Amazing cathedrals
God bless his followers 🙏
Can’t wait for the rest of the episodes!
Оh! I so liked that serial! Thank you!
I went to see Wells Cathedrals last year. I was absolutely awe stuck by the size, detail and grandeur. So worth a visit.
David Suchet is a treasure of a man .
There's no discouragement
Shall make him once repent
His first avowed intent
To be a pilgrim.
That transports me right back to chapel days at school.
Very good. Many in the UK would benefit from a Christian pilgrimage. They do not know what they are missing.
oh what a lovely video ❤🙏🏻💕
That was wonderful, thank you very much , the lofty Cathedrals were built to help you spiritually to be drawn heaven wards.
Only the spirit of God can draw you heaven ward to God, not a building
Ooh history. Cathedrals and suchet yippee:)
Grandioso documentario , simplesmente espetacular ! marcos lopez - USA
Oh my Gosh, Richard whiting was a martyr! 😮🙏🏼
Thank you.
well done.
Awesome!❤
Was it not on 5 May during the reign of Henry VIII (I think 1534) that England made its final break from Rome?
Great thanks for this video and for the evangelism of David Suchet!
That voice.
Thanks
Thanks for your gift!
🧐 Mr. David Suchet. 😇💯💯👋👋👋👋👍👍👍!!💐💐🌹🌹! TO YOU . THANKS . From, (2024).
I had a colleague who lived in Vicar's Close, beautiful place. He was something to do with Wells Cathedral, a chorister I think.
Liverpool Anglican cathedral is beautiful..and we have two..A Catholic one at the opposite end of Hope street.
Lovely effort to exhibit what is left of the cathedral age in England. It was Henry VIII who instructed the destruction of Thomas a Becket's tomb, both at Canterbury, and at the Bridge in London, so one can hardly castigate the 'reformation' for its destruction of thousands of artifacts, stained glass, illuminated manuscripts, sculptures and abbeys when the king himself led this wholesale ruination, Henry's own "bonfire of the vanities" as it were. The Lindisfarne Gospels escaped that fury by an inch. Imagine how many others did not.
0:30
I love deranged english humour - he talks about "pilgrimage" and shows us a grinning woman in abominable clothes that walks unsteadily with a tiny backpage through some forest.
I think Wells is the one I want to see most, after Canterbury maybe.
Unfortunate that there are too many commercials to make it enjoyable to watch.
14:33
"Is guaranteed to lift the spirit..."
Reminds me of Shakespeare:
"Although it looks like madness, there is method in it."
The very moment the footage shows us another human in the most disgusting clothing!
How can those beasts` spirits be "lifted"?
By the way, all over the world smokers are being prosecuted, but you are allowed to enter holy places in shorts, t-shirts and naked feet!
Why is Henry now describing Thomas as a “low-born cleric” when previously it had always been “turbulent priest”?
Saint Paul preached at Ludd Hill, the sight of St Paul's Cathedral. Acts 29.
Canterbury the Very Start? Give me a break. One of the first things Augustine had to do was to meet with the bishops. Pagans had bishops? They were Celtic Christians, who originated in Ireland.
A wonderful video - but there is one error, David Suchet wrongly states that the Golden Window of Wells cathedral is placed in the Lady chapel, when in truth, it is located in the choir above the high altar - and what a magnificent window it is, too.
❤❤❤❤❤
Like many others here, I, too, would like to know if there are any tour companies that have trips to these places. I live in the United States.
tours of excellence company arranges cathedral tours either self driven or with a driver. Search out their website.
Madame, vos aimables pensées sont les bienvenues - et vous ne devriez pas penser en fonction de votre âge. Tant que j'ai le souffle, je suis déterminé à revoir une fois de plus la puissante flèche de Rouen (avec laquelle le diocèse d'Ely dans le Cambridgeshire a partagé un temps son Ordinaire au XVe siècle - Louis de Luxembourg, Cardinal Archevêque de Rouen et Évêque d'Ely!) la vénérable Basilique Saint-Pierre-aux-Nonnains de Metz - l'envolée de la magnificence d'Amiens, Reims, Chartres et Beauvais - sans oublier la pure perfection gothique de Notre Dame de Paris...
...et puis-je suggérer gentiment une petite correction? "Mr. Suchet" est mort, vive Sir David😏
Magnificent tombs to the dead
Hope Exeter on the list as a choirister there in 1960's😅
Let’s hear the organs and choirs of these cathedrals on future installments. Some of your music sounds like it came right out of a recording studio.
Where can we watch episode 2, please?
Anybody remember the book pilgrims progress
👍🏻
🤲👑🤲
A proper documentary for a change , no whacky C-listers bouncing around out of context
Those solar panels on Salisbury are truly inappropriate - green deal or not!
Would be 100x more interesting if this were contextualized as part of a series on pilgrimage presented in longer global human cultural practice.
Being a programme about British cathedrals, could we have British music instead of Allegri (Italian), Fauré (French) and the others. Why not have Byrd, Tallis, Howells, Battishill, Sumsion, Vaughan Wililams, Stanford, Wood, and a hundred others that were directors of music (organists) at these British cathedrals.
-correction to Derek 1264: the second line is "shall make him once RELENT" ... not repent!!!
Architecture is an identity of any nation indeed 👁️, henceforth regarding the matter of fact, the big question ❓ has been raisen unanimously, that why Great Britain lost it's own architectural identity intentionally ?
RCC
David Suchet ?? Moustache 😂 moustache.. 🎉
I always find it interesting how reluctant the English are to acknowledge many of their famous cathedrals as having been built as Roman Catholic cathedrals, which were seized by Henry VIII and and given to his new church. If a cathedral was built prior to 1530, it was originally Roman Catholic.
Are we reluctant? The circumstances surrounding the break with Rome are taught in schools and generally well known. However it was almost 500 years ago and the majority of cathedrals have been Anglican for longer than they were Roman Catholic. To be honest I don't think most people think about it - it is just the way that it is.
Also there is a huge continuity of worshippers and parishioners - replacing bishops or monks didn’t mean most Christians were rendered ‘homeless’. In fact the survival and use of many Cathedrals and parish churches is the result of their loyalty to their communities and ancestors. Hence to many our Cathedrals are simply English rather than ‘Roman’
How many English people have you asked or does this represent a personal concern? Its my experience that most people don't care and those that do, just accept the history without getting het up about it.
@@JohnMatthews-tv7tf oh really? What you think you know is nothing but propaganda of the side that thought it won. But it matters not. Anglicanism is turning to dust.
People Betty Christ and his church don’t like drawing attention to this fact.
They were the Catholic Church's great cathedrals until Henry the 8th kicked the Church out and stole all the Church property.
Anglican church = just a beautiful dead faith museum.
Canterbury Cathedral is not one of the finest Gothic cathedrals in England, it is, internally at least, the finest Gothic cathedral in the World. Simple fact.
When i hear " was destroyed at the reformation" i turn off. This is all catholic history not anglican protestant henry viii nonsense.
20:53 how sad one paganism than ather one
A bit to much yammering on about the supernatural for my tastes.
Religion is obviously nonsense but these buildings are amazing architecture.
You can only find perfect peace through Jesus Christ. This message must be central to EVERY church. The cathedrals are magnificent but the Anglican church has deviated from stressing conviction of one's sin, repentance or being truly sorry for it, and knowing that salvation comes ONLY through Jesus Christ. To not grasp this means eternal damnation. Read the Bible thoroughly. Christianity is not some vague feeling or "experience."
There's a big mystery how come, pigs do not care about stars and poetry and how comd human specie is happy to believe, there's something beyond the belly, food and animals survival instinct. Since Stonehenge or Cuzco precolumbian civilizations FAITH made people achieve things we still can not explain to present days...like someone out there should help up and give humans a hand...in fact, religions teach and preach the symbiotic relationship with Mother Earth...she cares like a true mother for her babies, let's have FAITH then. Jesus Christ is not the only one used to send messages, all of us are used the same way if we care to feel... God's sons to carry on his will...even God is lonely helpless overwhelmed😢😢😢 each individual is free to decide, help him up or not, therefore let's encourage everybody explore faith secrets and get involved 🎉❤🎉
How do you know pigs don´t care about stars, or have their own poetry. Why do you think that somehow makes humans ´special?´ Pigs don´t commit genocide or wreck the planet.. I personally think that counts for more than being able to spout Wordsworth or pick out Orion´s belt, I suspect that if we understood them, a pig would be far mote coherent than the unintelligible bilge you wrote here.
You write blasphemy.
@@irenemuus9716 Who does? The idiots who think they are special because they believe a l0oad of mumbo jumbo? That is the Blasphemy, because that is what has caused the mess we are in now.
all man made empty tombs ..
Yeah, I'm pretty sure these ancient buildings are left over from the millennial kingdom. Humans today can't even build these.
Empty cathedrals talking about them is a joke
So sad to see people walking through these once holy places in shorts, tank-tops, or tights... Poor England has fallen so far...
May I observe: in the hearts of believers, these are still holy places; tourists are oddly casual everywhere, not just in England; surely Jesus Christ had no dress code among his followers.
😢no respect
Never been very far have you? It happens world wide, nothing to do with ´poor England´ I rermember about 30 years ago going to Montserrat. We had read about being respectful, so we dressed properly, only to find the Local young people looking better dressed for the beach or a nightclub than a Pilgrim site. We weren´t even believers., but they presumably had been brought up as Catholics.
For me, the most sad fact is that very few people leave gifts to those great memorial to the faith and the creativity of our predecessors! 🙄 Once, I gave a tour to an American priest and his wife. They insisted on paying no entrance fee to Salisbury Cathedral and, despite me specifying the request of the receptionist for a donation, they gave none. Not even a 1 pound! What do they preach if they do not practice?!
@@lesliemaitland3551i do agree but a bit of respect would be nice. Its expected in every other religious areas but yes tourists are peculiarly casual andGod sees the heart tbank goodness!❤
It is just silly not being Catholic.
