THE MEDIEVAL MYSTERIES OF LITTLE WENHAM
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- Here Chris Halton visits an almost forgotten 13th century Suffolk church which has some amazing medieval wall art, and as you always expect, a little bit of the paranormal too!
Historical background (from CCT website)
`This 13-century flint church, with a Tudor brick-topped tower, is hidden away up a track past one of the oldest houses in England. Behind the altar the walls are alive with Medieval paintings - pick out St Margaret with her dragon and St Catherine with her wheel. The saints are elegant and almost ghostlike, with strange blackened faces from the chemical alteration of the paint over time.. There are also wall plaques to the local Brewse family -- one with the doll-sized figure of John Brewse, kneeling in eternal prayer. `
For reasons best known to UA-cam I have found leaving individual comments especially difficult as often the reply boxes disappear. If I haven`t acknowledged your comment, you will hopefully understand why. My apologies. I wish UA-cam would be left alone by Google. All these `improvements` are causing mayhem :(
Chris Halton - Haunted Earth tv. - A rising trend generally, I'm afraid.
This is an awesome lesson in history. Loved the wheel of life painting and the three women saints. Echoes of the Goddess those saints.
The video is perfect showing the ancient art and spirits. Thank you Chris.
Thanks, Cheryl! 🙂
I love this channel. What blows my mind is how old and absolutely beautiful these churches and other structures are. Amazing stuff
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks, James.

Thank you!

Chris, that detective outfit of yours is perfect branding, dont please ever change it, it adds to your investigative, credible, sober, gentlemanly and refined approach to researching the paranormal. I love the historical information you provide for each location you visit. It raises you above all the others!
He should take his hat off in a Place of Worship.
Fascinating. Your're so lucky to be living in a place like the UK.
It is a place I love. Thanks!
Another excellent video Chris. Thank you.
Thanks Cindy! :)
I love this church chris, I have watched this umpteen times and never get tired of it...
At night on the weekends, when I sit down to my computer and a glass of wine, your site is the first I visit. You never disappoint.
Pleased I`ve made your weekend :)
Chris, love your show's, the history lesson for me is a bonus.thank you mate
I am love England's great historical place.
Fascinating, great presentation! Thank you!
Love watching your videos Chris
Glad you like them! Thanks, Samantha
The church appears very cozy, particularly for such an old building, and something welcoming about it.
Thank You so much for your heartfelt tour of this beautiful sacred site. Your programs are always wonderful.
Wonderful! I get the feeling that although you met a female in spirit here, there would be no negativity from her, I got the feeling she was just a worshiper in a place she loved in life. I felt a great sense of serenity in this building.
Thank you so much.
What a special doc. The isolation of it all was captured. God the music is so mesmerizing
what a change from those silly american made videos with their bogus reconstructions and bad actors...
I love Chris' calm and composed style, and I love the way he addresses his audience
Thanks David :)
his interpretation of his so called "EVPs" leave much to be desired...
What a lovely presenatation and absolutely wondeful place!
As always you rock!!!
Thanks Sigrid as always :)
Great Britain is so steeped in ancient times that practically every inch is occupied by "previous owners" i.e. "ghosts." They are still carrying on in their own way. Absolutely fascinating.
Chris, you're giving us again, such a beautiful location riche of history. Thank you Haunted Earth tv, have a nice sunday to you all. ;~)
Thanks Nina :)
Yet you can tell the warmth of the church because of your gestures. However you did another cool site but added so much cultural relevance that it may just be a forgotten place in an old hamlet but you all gave it the respect and dignity it deserves and represents
Thankyou! :)
Hello Chris,you visit such wonderful Historic places,Thank you so much for this upload,I am thoroughly absorbed!
Thanks Lorraine - Always more to come :)

I love this one particularly. Spooky stuff or not, the history and all that detailed info about the paintings was great! Just wish I didn't feel so jealous when it's over. Thank you and well done again, Chris!

Thanks Jeff. America does have a lot of very interesting locations :)
Amazing!! Many thanks!
Just discovered your channel & hard, honest work... Enjoyed with thanks.
I loved it! You should take these documentaries and submit a few to the networks. It would make an interesting tv show. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Ginger :)
just wonderful
Thanks Andy :)
It's a lovely area. But thanks for documenting our history for us, so people can learn about it from now until the end of time, Even though I'm an Australian it is still part of my history. Take care mate.
A beautiful church
love all that great art
Thank you :)
Great video, Chris!
Would love to have you as a guide when I come to visit some of Englands great historic places!
Thank you! :)
Hi Chris, this is camilo, due to the new and horrible youtube/google+, i have decided to change my name to superman since i have always used this image and i dont want to use my fullname. First i want to say that your show is fantastic, i feel so good every time i watch it, you are a good host and you make everything very interesting. Secondly i want to say that it is a shame that i cant find you relatively close to me to shake your hand and thank you for your work. Every e is so.. refreshing and inspirational. You made me think in the great quality of the old tv presenters..
About the video, i think they should restore those wall paintings, or they will be lost forever, i see it in this case as the best option. You know, in a moment I felt a particular smell when seeing the church inside, the smell of an old house... old wood furniture. Please keep it up, about the evp, maybe the voice said "my captain" or "my guardian" at 19:55, have a good day :) and i hope to know from you very soon.
No problems Camilo :) Very pleased you enjoyed.
:-)... Keep up the work, Chris!
Thanks mate :)
Hi Chris, I am a Brit living in USA, originally coming from London, wanted to ask? have you investigated Fobbing Church, near Basildon Essex?. Very much enjoyed your investigatons
Hi mate. I know Fobbing church very well. I just haven`t got there as yet :) But who knows? Thanks for commenting.
sounds like a church i'd like to visit.
Thanks for another insightful presentation Chris. Beautiful church with so much history. Is it possible that the Brewse family have connections with the Bruce ( de Brus) family of the Scottish monarchy?
I was wondering the same.
Chris I can't find a link to any new material ??
Intéressant ;)
Merci :)

de rien ;)
Interesting video
quite clear EVP's, so you must return for a night vigil, Chris!!!
Thank you :)
I'm sorry to say this but our governments seem far more concerned with the welfare of foreign countries than preserving our own historic and unique country. The beautiful things we have that are being destroyed through lack of funding is criminal.
It`s a major problem, Stephen :(
yes like this in the states as well our country is run by criminals
What a wonderful church Chris thanks can anyone visit?
Yes, it`s open to all during the day :) You have to get the keys from the local pub. Check ` Churches Conservation Trust` website for details.
hello chris this was superb and very very interesting well filmed and produced as they all are thank you from trev
What a beautiful place! And your comments about it having a 'feminine' and gentle feel to it tied into something I was already thinking: that there's an interesting glorification of the feminine there, very nearly a hailing back to pagan times. The three female saints are VERY odd to find all alone-- Margaret the Virgin, who slays the dragon; Catherine the wise, possibly based on the quite non-Christian Hypatia of Alexandria (though the painter may not have known that, of course); and the Magdalene, who was erroneously depicted as a harlot in later centuries but supposedly in the early gospels was simply a fallen woman who raised herself up to follow Christ among his disciples and to help fund them all with her own resources-- more of a protective figure than a whore or concubine. And then there's the ultimate mother-image, Mary cradling the sacred Child... It's all speculation on my part, but it's still there. Interesting, as I said.
I'd have to disagree about the intended complexion in these paintings. I'm totally getting they're depicted as they should be. I'm feeling these pigments were meant to oxidize as an intended reveal when it was time when it might be accepted.
Intriguing!
Where is the altar?
Interesting
Why are the saints faces still white then????
Indeed, why?
English ghosts are the best!
Good video but you should not have your hat on in church, whether there is a service on or not.
It`s a decommissioned church. It is not used for Christian worship.
I don't understand why the queen wouldn't give up some of her millions to preserve the history of her country for future generations. The Royals waste so much money on frivolous things. If I was British, I would be up in arms over the loss of history. So many beautiful buildings are rotting, while they live the high life for doing nothing.
Take the hat off.
Please can you remove your hat in church as a sign of respect
It is a museum and not a sanctified church anymore.
Rubbish. The dragon represents the devil. Spearing the dragon is simply a depiction of lies being killed by truth.
Interesting docu-vid, however, have some respect for all those who have gone before... Remove your hat!!! It's irrelevant whether the Church is decommissioned or not!!! It was, is a spiritual place.
