Interesting history there. Neat to hear about the river and of the rebuilding after the war. It really is a nice looking church with amazing architecture and design. Pretty neat that you have family history there too. Awesome visit for you. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice day.
I love the title "The Cathedral on the Marsh." It sounds like the title of a gothic novel. I also find it so fascinating when I visit a church where my ancestors lived. I too imagine them being baptized in the font. It feels incredible to imagine that they would have sat in one of the pews and seen the same view as I. It also feels quite moving that were likely buried somewhere in the churchyard. It brings history and their lives closer. Thank you for a very interesting tour and history lesson, Stephen and Yhana 💕
Thank you Julie and Lucy, If I had time. I would visit every church where my ancestors entered. I think it’s the closest you can be to them, like you said 😊 They sat in the pews and were baptised in the font. I guess in a way, it’s like walking in their actual footsteps 😊 I always think it’s a shame, that those before us, are no longer remembered. Without them, we would not be here ❤️😊 sending our best and catch up soon
Loved coming along with you on this episode Stephen and Yhana. Lovely old church ⛪️ and relics. Loved the grave yard and your connection with family. Have a great weekend guys ❤😊
I’m glad you got to visit this place you’ve wanted to see for so long. It has lovely details inside and sad but interesting to see the old pieces of stone work that lie on the benches from the war. It’s a beautiful church Stephen. Thank you for the wonderful history and guided tour. 👌😊🇨🇦
Thank you Christine, for your very lovely comment 😊 The church is certainly very beautiful. For myself, the family tie made the location even more special 😊 There are many churches I would like to visit across the UK. I may not get to see them all, but I’m so pleased I visited this one ❤️😊 sending our best and catch up soon
Ooh, this looks an amazing and interesting place Stephen & Yhana! It is amazing how geology and nature can alter landscapes over time. Fascianting facts about the first coastguard. That is a very long aisle, isn't it! And, that font! Wow! I don't think that I have seen a marble font before. Glad the church was restored after WWII. Thank you for this - a lovely and fascintating tour. Take care, Paul.
I can imagine the damage was substantial after the bomb hit, I do have a question mark about the font. That possibly it could be post WW2, maybe the original was destroyed. But is also looks Georgian?! If so, it could be a replacement from one stolen or lost during the commonwealth period. I have heard of fonts stolen during this period and even used as horse trough’s. It was a stunning church and the graveyard was equally interesting. Just a shame the headstones were so weathered I couldn’t read any. Catch up with you soon buddy 😊
Such a beautiful church! Loved the WW2 stonework and that fascinating tomb with the skulls and crossbones. Too bad it has faded so much but it adds to the mystery, too.
Thank you Donna, for the lovely comment 😊 it’s a beautiful church for sure. Very different from what I have so far seen. The graveyard was very interesting. I’m pleased the headstones still remain. So often they are removed 😊 catch up soon
Hi Stephen and Yhana! What a beautiful and interesting place. Loved the woodwork and those remains of the ancient stonework! All the best and take care 👍😊
Hello Stephen and Yhana! it's amazing! Thanks for the very nice video! I saw it with great interest! Great! Thanks for the inspiration! Have a nice day!
Lovely building. Worthy of it being called the Cathedral of the Marshes. The graveyard looked interesting too. That skull and crossbones is something I had not seen before. Maybe I was just not looking. Really engaging as usual.
Thank you Ivor, it’s an interesting church and even more interesting location 😊 worthy of a much bigger exploration 😊 I think this is the first time I have seen a skull and crossbones on a grave too. Or at least I think so lol 😆
Thank you, the church was certainly stunning. I’m pleased I ticked this location of my wish list. Sadly most of the headstones in this graveyard are unreadable, probably due to the ocean winds blowing across the marshes. My ancestors may well have had headstones here, I just could identify any. Except for the grave inside belonging to distant kindred cousins. As part of your own research, have you been to any churches?
Thank you Alice, I thought the church was amazing 😊 huge inside and a very lovely old graveyard 😊 I much prefer churches when they leave the graves alone 😊 sending our best and catch up soon
Lovely church inside and out and we loved your tour, Stephen and Yhana. The architecture is stunning but the doorways inside a little low today. The skulls on the crypt are interesting. Too bad it's unreadable. Thanks for bringing us along.
Thank you Dave and Kathy, I really enjoyed our visit here to Lydd. I think the family connection made it all more important for us too 😊 the church was stunning ❤️😊 sending our best and catch up soon guys
Hi Guys! Always enjoy your videos! Great history & back stories always! The architecture was STUNNING! What a beautiful cathedral! Those markings on the tomb were AWESOME!
Thank you Karen and Shannon, it was a beautiful and very unique church, one I enjoyed visiting very much 😊 hope all well, happy hiking and catch up with you both soon 😊
I think so too, I can imagine the bomb damage was quite considerably. Although it’s hard to tell from looking at the outside of the church just how big the damage was. They certainly reconstructed it very well 😊
Beautiful tour and got a kick out of the short doorway :) The tombstone with the skeletons was quite unique I must say ! Really enjoyed the history of such a amazing Cathedral on the inside as well as the outside !!
Looks really pretty .Lyddd is where I took my first ever flight as a child - Lydd to Ostend! Random!! Really interesting history of your ancestors. We loved the tour inside the Church. What a beautiful setting. Oo skeletons on tombstones!! Were they pirates? Lovely video 🍻
I think they could have been pirates, maybe there is a local story about the tomb which hasn’t been shared. Interesting about that first flight you took from Lydd, I did drive past the airport on my way to Dungeness. Lydd is a long way from Wales to take a flight though lol 😆
Stephen and Yhana. Thank you for sharing your personal story about your grandfather, a coastguard, I remember. Ooops, my heart stopped for sec, Yhana. 2:56. I wish they have enough funds to display those valuable medieval stoneworks. 3:14 unless the church prefers them as they are on the pew. Indeed, very fascinating.4:58 Stunning timber ceiling.5:27 May I ask what those skeletons and crossbones are symbolized on the tomb chest? 'remember you need to die'??? Appreciate you, two's photos, memorable moments, especially to Yhana. Superb, Stephen. My fingers are crossed, this comment arrives at your door.
Thank you buddy, I’m not 100% why the skull and crossbones appear on that tomb chest, my vivid imagination conjures up times of pirates lol 😆 but that’s just my imagination I think lol 😆 it certainly stood out in that graveyard though. I can imagine who ever belongs in that tomb must have had some connection with the ocean. That symbol incorporates piracy as well as death. Being that Lydd is a coastal village, I would go with the pirate lol 😆 catch up soon buddy
Thank you buddy, I’m pretty sure you would enjoy exploring here too 😊 our main focus was the church, we spent awhile here, plus hunting the town for a toilet lol 😂 but what I saw of the little town / village was very lovely 😊 catch up soon buddy
Hi Lisa, hope all well 😊 a big thank you for the comment ❤️❤️ my apologies if I’m a bit behind catching up on your channel. These past few weeks have been manic for me. I will catch up with your videos soon though ❤️😊 sending our love to you
Lovely place! Always love seeing the stained glass windows! So much colour in them! That was interesting about the headstones 🪦. Wow that tombstone was incredible with the skulls I can tell you filmed this in peak summer heatwave lol 😂 lovely Stephen and Yhana
Thank you guys, I did film this in the summer, we were away camping at the time and exploring East Sussex and a little of Kent too 😊 The church looked amazing
Wow, great place with your family connection there...I cannot imagine that I could go back that far down my family tree like you can. I guess it could be possible but not easy...
