    I’m glad that the cockatrice did not put off the villagers from building that lovely, simple church! Great Easter garden as well!

    Another excellent vid ! Thank you Richard, Julia & Robert. Sting Spider says the story of the cockatrice & the dragon sounds like his mother-in law. Every time she stared at him he turned to stone !

      We saw another Easter sepulchre in St Mary's church, Wreay, Carlisle... Video coming soon, probably the latter end of next week or beginning of the week after.

      The Piper of Windy Ha; at the hill of Windy Ha, a tumulus n Caithness: A farm boy rested as he was taking cattle to market, it was a hot day and he fell asleep. He was awakened by a beautiful lady dressed in green, that offered him the present of a Bible or bagpipes; he choose the pipes. The lady warned him to return to the hill in 7 years time, and he agreed. Of course when he returned home his family predicted his doom, as who else was this woman but the Queen of the Faeries ? Well, he had fame and fortune for his piping, after seven years he was never heard of again, yet at midsummers eve, a ghostly piping can be heard coming from the hill of Windy Ha.

    Well done great video, very interesting. I suppose there is an element of truth to the dragon - choceral story, being that the man that suposidly killed it was acturly berruid in the church. I did enjoy that 👍

      Such a pretty little church. Do you know the year it was built? It looked so old on the outside, I was somewhat surprised that it looked fairly modern on the inside?
