Fine church, amazing windows. And a lovely walk. ...with or without sunshine. 🙂

[@DaveFord]

Thanks John. Such a pretty village - some sunshine would have been the icing on the cake!

[@catherineshipley5799]

Lovely walk. Thank you

[@JimNicholls]

Thanks as usual, Dave, and I'm glad you managed to do the walk before the storm arrived.

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Jim. The light conditions were not that great for filming ..... but the sun came out near the end!

The crowns in the church were something I’ve never come across or heard of before. I’m rather surprised that they’re not in a museum.

[@DaveFord]

Yes, I don't recall seeing anything like them before. Sad that it seems that they are just left up there until they disintegrate!

Greetings from Alabama USA. Enjoyed your walk. New sub.

[@DaveFord]

Thank you & indeed welcome to the channel! I hope that you enjoy the future videos in the series.

After watching your video this morning we were passing on the way back to London so had a wander round the village. The virgin crowns were interesting but a bit spooky!

[@DaveFord]

Glad you got to enjoy a visit to the village, Mike, and also that fascinating church.

Close to home this time Dave. Did you know that Robert Tasker once lived in Abbotts Ann and had a blacksmiths there, until he wanted something bigger and set up Taskers of Andover in Anna Valley, just a mile to the south. I remember the school. It was on the right hand side of the road, a short way up from the Eagle pub. As you found out, there are some very pretty cottages in that village.

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Lionel. It is one of the prettiest villages that I have visited for a long time.

[@hannureittu4310]

Beautiful and interesting, thank you Dave!

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Hannu. :)

[@darrenhollebone6550]

I think ill attempt that walk this week, minus the hill fort though due to health reasons.
Thank you Dave

[@DaveFord]

I hope that you have great weather for your walk there.

[@cathpeterson1944]

delightful walk around Abbotts Ann, I never heard of the virgin crowns-learn new history lesson today

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Cath. Those "Virgin's Crowns" were fascinating.

[@jeanblemings5352]

Seems a lot of women died young before marriage in that village but maybe it is over a long length of time. Glad you reached the port before the storm. Logan looked very interested in those crisps!!

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Jean. Those Virgin's Crowns were quite amazing - never seen anything like that before in my travels!
