I love these segments of dig deeper.
They are really interesting. This information about the wall was very fascinating.
Thank you for these segments.

I just learned something new about brick walls. Very fascinating. I didn’t notice they were different until you pointed it out. I love history. Keep these coming! Someday I hope to visit the area. Mary

This was really great information, thank you so much Mary Anna (and your cameraperson)! Wish there was a cross section of the wall to see (top down) how they laid out the bricks, I bet they were two (2) deep when the mason was trying to make them come out straight, level and plumb. Great stuff....love it! 👍🏻👏👏👏❤

Wow, such a lot has been discovered since our visit .We we’re privileged to see artifacts of Devon pottery being dug up. We live in Exeter Devon UK so had more meaningfully connections.

I really hope you guys have come over to England to see where the Pilgrims came from. You will love our History.

Dig a little deeper into the well son dig a little deeper in the well. If you want a cool drink of water you will dig a little deeper in the well. This was a song I heard in my youth.......
Usually with shovel in hand.

It’s such a shame that the original church was left to crumble.
