This week we head to the Norfolk village of Shotesham just south of Norwich to discover why such a small village surrounded by countryside ended up having so many medieval churches..

We are always incredibly grateful for any support given however small and will thank you with a special mention at the end of our videos.
Thanks for watching 😊
This was indeed a lovely little corner of rural England most of us would otherwise have missed. Thank you for showing us around and explaining their history.
Everyone, support your local churches, you need them as much as they need you!
@@maxwellfan55 That's certainly very true! And we probably wouldn't have found ourselves here if we weren't looking for the churches.. Its a beautiful little village with so much more to see, we'll be returning again when we can. Glad you found it interesting, thanks for watching 😊👍
Thank-you for sharing all the intricate details of the church ruins - really fascinating stuff - lots of views and richly deserved - well done 🙂
Thank you, we were quite blown away with how many people have chosen to watch this, we really we're expecting it.. Plenty more where this came from as I'm sure you know in Norfolk well 😁👍
Really interesting video.. loved all the history as always. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us.. Won't be long before thie History Channel get in contact with you! 😁
Haha! I guess you never know but I think we've got abit more practicing to do before that happens.. Thanks for your kind comment 😊👍
I love the ruined church, it’s so nice to see it in all its glory thanks to the volunteers who cut back all the growth that had covered it for years! It would make a cool wedding venue!!
Like we said in the video, we couldn't visit these places properly without all the effort from volunteers, they've done a grand job trying to restore and preserve what's left here. There's so many more around Norfolk just crying out for some love and attention before they fall down.. its a really shame 😞
A sheer joy to watch. Fascinating, beautiful and restful all at the same time. Thank you both.
Thank you so much! We really didn't expect to get such lovely feedback and comments.. Hopefully we'll be making many more like this in the near future, after all there's plenty more to find around Norfolk! 😁👍
Absolutely brilliant explore,there is something romantic and mysterious about ruined churches.i had just had a rough day with my asthma and this just what i needed,very calming influence.A tonic for the heart soul and mind.Great cinematography Stu and brilliant narration from Em. Also have you been to Reepham village which has 3 Churches close together?😀👍
Thanks Paul, your positive feedback and lovely comments are very much appreciated..
Glad we were able to make you feel abit better after your bad day. 😊
When we were making this video I said to Stu that I don't expect too many of our followers to be that interested as it's just a bunch of churches but it appears I was quite wrong!
It has certainly encouraged us to make some more like this and infact set ourselves a challenge which we'll be working on soon hopefully..
We've been to Reepham a few times and yes its churches are quite interesting, definitely a story I'd like to try and tell one day..
Thanks for watching and for all your support, Em and Stu 🙂👍
Thank you for such an informative video. I live in Norwich and didn't know about this about Shoreham. You have inspired me to go and explore them
Definitely worth an afternoon out, and there's plenty more like this around the outskirts of the Norwich area.. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
Great film and the music 😊.💙💙💙💙💙💖🌹
Thank you, glad you liked it. Thanks for watching 😊👍
Interesting video and nicely done. As a resident of Norwich, it has inspired me to go check the place out.
It's a lovely little village and the churches are beautiful.. if u do go be sure to also take a look at the ruined church of St Marys at Saxlingham Nethergate not far away, it easy to find on Google and accessed via a public footpath.. Thanks for watching 😊👍
love watching your videos from Australia........am an expat of East Anglia (Oulton Broad) ....more please!
Thanks for watching, I'm just up the road in Gorleston but grew up in Bradwell.. hoping to get to many more of these churches in the future 😊👍
Excellent very interesting lots of history.
Thank you.. Its such a historic village we could have been there all day! Glad you enjoyed watching 😊
This is an area I know well - mainly through researching Family Tree.
No relations in Shotesham, but a clutch are buried just up the road at Stoke Holy Cross.
My parents used to take us around many norfolk churches when I was a kid looking for relatives for their family tree, its surprising to find out where our ancestors came from.. Thanks again for watching 😊👍
By the sound of it, St Martin's was belonged to a religious order while St Mary's would have been part of the diocese. The dissolution affected the orders more than diocesan churches - where the bishops could be easily replaced - also, the connection with the aristocracy with parish churches was stronger than with religious orders.
Lovely video guys, did you not go through the ford on the Tas? Lovely little spot down there. You'll have to come down my way and have a look at the ruins of St Mary's Church in Tivetshall, one of my favourite filming locations.
That is a great ruin!! I'm trying to visit all the Norfolk ones there is so many! I really like the one at Saxlingham Nethergate and the one near Coltishall too.
Sadly not Paul, we were fixated on getting to the churches that day.. its not an area we know particularly very well but looks beautiful so definitely would like to spend abit more time looking around the area.. Your St Mary's is definitely on our to-do list as well as lots more around Norfolk and Suffolk, we're trying to get through them all which is definitely a lifetimes work here in Norfolk! 😆 Thanks for watching Paul, glad you liked it 😊👍
How about Horsey Mill. Norwich Cathedral's and the one my Brother in Law took me to I think St; Bennett's where you can see the tower was built over another structure...Thanks so much , when the cost of petrol is so high , Norfolk has lots of old airfields etc , etc thanks!
@@robinmcknight3731 Thanks Robin.. we've kayaked at Horsey Mill and walked to St Benets Abbey a couple of times, both beautiful places to visit but must return to make a video.. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂👍
Great video as usual ,being bias i do like vids on ancient ruins , being Roman/Medieval or Tudor,i walk the dog around the ruins of Dunwich and the beach most days, you would be amazed the amount of Medieval pottery shards you can find on the beach
@@kkimmings4920 We do actually have a video planned for Dunwich Priory which we'll hopefully get made very soon.. as well as a couple of Roman bits around Norfolk. I also love ancient ruins and would like to get to more.. Thanks for watching 😊
@@ExploringWithEmAndStu Dunwich museum is a must also the outer wall of the Abbey ,there is medieval gargoyle built into the wall ,most walkers miss it when walking the footpath , look forward to the Dunwich video
Absolutely love this video. Id definitely be interested in you guys covering more churches. Absolutely loads of ruined/redundant churches throughout Norfolk!
As you probably know, they say Norfolk has more medieval churches than anywhere else in the world! Plenty to keep us busy for a while.. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed watching 😊👍
great video guys, really enjoyed that so well explained.
@@StuG-f3v Thanks Stu, glad we explained it well, it was certainly a little complicated with so much history to find 😊👍
enjoyed your video from sunny Queensland Australia
Thanks Michael, glad you enjoyed watching 😊👍
Ruined churches are rather interesting. Good video, right up my street!
Thanks Alice.. living in the County which claims to have more medieval churches then anywhere in the world can have its advantages.. we're aiming to try and do them all eventually but with over 650 it may take us a while.. 😆 Thanks for watching 😊 👍
