      Its a very unusual fernomenon, trees growing against a bounding are cut down usually, so these 2 are very lucky, thanks for watching

      I have seen pictures of it with my obsession with Yew trees and it wasn't till the day before I left to visit the roll rights and belas knap that realised it was on the road between them, well worth it

      @@Traveler13 It's a churchyard yew tree with a lot of folklore around it in a Devon village which has more than it's fair share of history and mystery. I touch on it in this other series if you are interested? ua-cam.com/video/ihkEEGuBngU/v-deo.html

    Great video, I loved the history and the mystery. I find it fascinating that many of our old medieval Churches were adorned with various stone carvings. These buildings were created with art and a real passion. How bereft modern architects truly are with artistic license, they don't add grotesques, they actually create them✌️

      😆 😅Ye that's so true, i hate cities and towns they are ugly and claustrophobic, the older a structure is the more interesting I find them generally and I love a mystery, something to research

    Amazing! I could totally see Tolkien seeing this and going yes. We can have a ring that rules them all, and a little race of people called the hobbits that live in these type houses with those doors. What an amazing place! Stow on the wold is beautiful I have been before.
