Who would have thought you could pack so much into a small village? Really enjoyed imagining Gladys leap there. I gotta say I went to a club in Stroud once and Keith Allen was serving behind the bar. It was his gaf. Well, thoroughly enjoyable. All the best. Mark
Hello Paul - greetings from Poland I really enjoyed this video and the 3 stories you highlighted. For a tiny village, its hidden facts about Gladys, George Orwell and Gustav Holst don't necessarily put it on the map, but it certainly brings a lot of interest. Fabulous still photographs and I loved the music. Yet again I learnt something new - definatley a benefit to anyone who subscribes to your channel.
Surprisingly, although I grew up only a few miles from Cranham, I had never been to the village properly before, and was amazed to learn of the Eric Arthur Blair (Orwell) connection - probably my favourite writer. Thanks again Michael, Paul
Thank you! Yes, I have only recently 'discovered' the Cranham area, even though I have lived around here previously. It is lovely, quiet and thankfully unspoilt. Thanks for watching, commenting and for the subscribe! Paul.
Thank you Ron! I am learning all the time too - I had never been to Cranham before, despite being brought up around the Stroud area. I saw the edge of it when I was doing the Cotswold Way and thought it'd be worth returning. Now I have seen the sanatorium on the old OS map I might return to see if I can see any remains of it in the woods. I was looking in the wrong place entirely when recording this! Thanks again, take care, Paul.
Hi Stephen, yes another Orwell fan here! When I recently learnt of this area's connection to George, I simply had to make a video about it. There is more to share about Orwell and this area, so I may well be back soon. I can also recommend a book called 'Barnhill' (all about how he wrote 1984) by the Scottish writer Norman Bissell. Thanks again, take care, Paul.
great place thank you so much for bringing me along

Great film Paul, I live around here, and I'm learning loads. Ron

@@westcountrywanderingsNow you can visit the other Cranham too! The one I grew up in, in #Havering, East London! 😊
Hi Paul, I really enjoyed this video and loved the story you shared about Gladys Leap and George Orwell.
I'm a bit of fan of George Orwell 😊

Good old Gladys, I bet she ended up with wet feet more than once. Great walk, thank you.
Yes, I am sure that she did! Thank you. Cheers, Paul.
