If they were meant to hold children, I would think it was planned for short periods only.

      Thanks so much for watching! That's a great question. I don't have a definitive answer and I suspect the situation changed a lot over time. The monks relied on peasants to farm their land, and in some cases charged rent for the privilege. They would have been prone to poor harvests the same as if they were farming outside of the monastic environment, however the peasants would have benefited from agricultural improvements, education, and community support.

    Apparently legend has it there is a tunnel running directly from the ruins of the old church to the castle itself... I personally don't believe it but even people in the village have suggested this to me.. like I said I visit this place regularly.. I tend to Go when there is nobody else about.

      @@relicsruins I actually know there was archaeology done as I know the owner.. but unfortunately the last time I spoke with him was some years ago Toby Horton. I actually read through the full archaeology that had been done on the castle but sadly not the church.. I'm not sure whether I still even have a copy hidden away somewhere.. but there has been lots of archaeology done on whorlton castle and gatehouse but unfortunately it's only a grade 2 listed building.. I know the last time I spoke with the owner they were trying to revamp it into a house.. I'm talking about the gatehouse here in order to preserve it from the thugs.. I still travel up to the castle on a regular basis as it is a place I go to reflect . Unfortunately once it gets dark you get surrounded by idiots.. I don't know the last time that you actually went to the castle? Unfortunately it is overgrown I believe the west wall is leaning a lot more than it was.. I actually did take over voluntary security for a few years but that was back in 2007 up until about 2010. I am very familiar with this place.. archaeology and all the legends. But yes, I actually tried looking for the tunnel entrance a few times.. I've never come across anything put some people in the village do believe.. if the archaeologists come across anything their definitely didn't mention it because obviously it brings the wrong type of attention for these urban explorers who just basically have no idea about the history but just want to look for the underground alleged tunnel.. however I do believe in the cemetery where the entrance could possibly be.. what do you take from that is entirely up to you my friend.. but it is there in plain sight for everyone to see but I will not mention it in the comments.. it's actually one of my favourite churches throughout North Yorkshire.. if you go to the church in swanby and if they are feeling in a good mood sometimes they open the church.. you can actually go in and see the effigy of Richard de maynell not sure whether I'm sparing that correctly? I also know that the two castles are connected one Danby castle. They are connected through family the Darcy's the Grays and the the previous name that I mentioned butfield to spell correctly 😄 when I found out that both castles were connected I did some research at Danby castle also.. however I do believe when I was researching the place that it was about to be made into a bed and breakfast hotel.. the premises was vacant when I went in 2008 and 09.. I spent a very long time researching whorlton gatehouse in castle.. I do have the owners address but I am sure that he is no longer with us and maybe the castle has been passed now to his family.. I do have their address.. but I'm not going to give it out on a public platform. It is a beautiful castle.. and the history about it is awesome. It's has only ever seen combat on and that was during the civil war.. the place itself date back to Roman times.. while you were there did you see the fish ponds? I am quite friendly with the land owners of surrounding farmland also so I could just ramble anywhere I really wanted to go when I did my research.. it is a beautiful place and very close to my heart indeed.

I used to be security for the castle a long time ago volunteered as I used to know the owner personally.. it is heartbreaking to see the state that it is in now.. I spent 17 years as a paranormal investigator investigate in this exact castle and gatehouse.. and the Roman village that used to be there as it did back to Roman times.. no it's just where all the drug is and people who are drinking on a weekend go and looking for somewhere to camp.. the lighting fires within the gatehouse.. it is tragic.

    I love history.. passionately.. thank you for an awesome video.. I live in North Yorkshire and for me it's one of the best districts in the UK.. I actually travel around to places like fountains abbey rievaulx abbey and Bolton abbey.. you should visit Easby Abby.

      Thanks so much for your kind words, Shaun - much appreciated! I agree with you about North Yorkshire, unfortunately I don't live there, but it's my most visited part of the UK for good reason. We visited Easby last summer a few days after I filmed for this video - that one is in my list of 'to-do' projects 😁

    I see this is from 1 yr ago, I was there last June. I live in Australia but I’m originally from the U.K. My sister lives in Scotland and organised our trip to Orkney. We also had beautiful weather like that in your video. Such a magical place and amazing history in this ancient village ❤️

    This was wonderfully done, i see improvement in each of your videos, really appreciate the map inlay!! The castle looks to me like what i imagine the style the early Crusaders brought back, small and efficient strongbox outposts, well made but not large and opulent yet, maybe the beginning of castle building technology, fascinating! Thank you

      Thank you so much for your kind words and continued support. I'm going to try to include a location map on all my videos from now on 😁. The ruins that are still standing is actually just the gatehouse. I've tried to find some information about what the actual castle looked like, but there doesn't seem to be any information about it.

      @relicsruins 3 месяца назад

      From what I've read, Doggerland's submerging pre-dates the occupation of Skara Brae by 4,000 years, but the inhabitants of the village may well have migrated to this area as the seas rose. I hadn't really considered that. Interesting...

    Very much enjoyed your visit to Whorlton Church and Castle. Love the coat of arms on the castle, the old church has so much charm to it and I found it quite eerie in the churchyard, lovely video, really well narrated and put together!

    • @relicsruins
      @relicsruins 3 месяца назад

      Thanks so much! I really appreciate your support as always. I hadn't realised until I was researching for the script that it was only the gatehouse that remains. I'm now intrigued as to what the main castle would have looked like. I agree with you regarding the churchyard, it's very atmospheric.

    It’s a fascinating old quirky building and you’ve provided copious information on it. I made a RUclips of it myself several years ago but I take my hat off to you sir as you’ve done a much more comprehensive job of it. The village where it’s located called Lochewe isn’t it (“Loch-you”) . I was with a hiking club doing a walk near there. Our friendly coach driver John actually lives in the village and invited us to walk around his extensive garden (which was home to fancy chickens!) . His wife was very nice but putting the kettle on for 30-40 surprise visitors would have been a bit much!😂

      Thank you so much for your kind words! I'll check out your video too. That's nice you got an impromptu tour of the coach driver's garden - it's such a lovely location overlooking the loch. I agree, tea for 40 would have been a struggle!
