David Suchet is not only the consummate embodiment of Hercule Poirot, but a wonderful actor and speaker!
Absolutly
Mr Suchet has the perfect voice to narrate.
Sir David; not Mr. Suchet.
I agree! Sir David Suchet is a national treasure ❤. A world treasure also.
Ah, the wonderful David Suchet. What a lovely presentation. I look forward to Episode 2.
Watched all three parts back to back and enjoyed every minute, now I will rest my little grey cells.
I am not native english speaker, but Mr. Suchet explain so nice that I understood near everything. I would like to visit all those places bue I cann't now I am old, thank you so much for the opportunity to see the faith and the love to God of the britain people around the siecles.
God bless you. ❤
Yes. These walks online are a life saver for us older folk. Walking online with you❤
Mr.Suchet has also spoken the Gospels from Westminster Abbey and documentaries walking Paul's pathways. Very inspiring. God Bless you 🙏
@@maggers1278 Thank you so much.
@hildasalazarcatedraparalavida Your very welcome 🙏
What a joy to have the gravitas of Mr Suchet narrate this
Loved this program. And David is such a treasure too!
Thank you for this wonderful journey with a dear companion, Mr. Suchet. Our heartbroken world needs this, now more than ever. Grateful in Canada.
I too am from Canada and yean for worship such as we see here. God bless.
@@norinefitzgerald5259 God Bless you too, Norine. Have a wonderful day.
I want to thank whoever posted this and also whoever produced this because it is one of the few positive depictions of Christianity that I've seen in ages and I'm so grateful. Christins are often mocked and criticised by rhe media in the west or more often ignred which is ironc because there are well overr the world well over 2,000,000,000 adherents.but enoihj of that, i digress, thank you for the great program and God Bless
A few years back I walked the pilgrims way with some friends from Salisbury to Winchester to Canterbury ..
Being Anglican myself and brought up by a staunch Anglican father born in Queen Victoria's age, a great deal of this English history was familiar, even here in Australia, but the association with the particular cathedrals was fascinating. Thank you. And Thank you Mr Suchet as well.
@catherinejones9396 When the Anglican Church decided to go for ordaining women to be priests, I left the Anglican Church forever. They had a screenshot on this episode of a woman in a priest's collar and she looked ridiculous. All the beauty that once was in the old Church is long gone. They've turned all the altars around, dumped the old Prayer Book for modern language and they have "alter girls"
@@garywilliams7454 I'm sorry. I guess Your God would understand how you feel. I hope you find some happiness.
@@catherinejones9396 Sorry. No female priests
@@garywilliams7454 I guess you are correct re the terminology at least. They should be referred to as priestesses, and Garry, in accordance with the Christian Bible, God created both male and female to serve him and once both fell from his grace, luckily he at least left them intelligence and the will to choose their own ways to live, act and be in this very sad old world. Goodbye Garry.
@@catherinejones9396 For centuries Church of England priests have been exclusively male. The 1970s saw the end of traditional Anglicanism. As to "God" creating male and female to "serve" him, well, to me, this is way, way off the mark. Why would god require anybody at ALL to "serve" him? As to the Adam and Eve story and the supposed "fall of man" there is absolutely no evidence that Adam and Eve ever existed. None whatsoever.
Whenever I see that view of Durham above the river my breath catches in my throat. 🤯
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all those people who have made these series. And David Suchet is brilliant.
What a wonderful journey. It felt like I was on a Pilgrimage myself.
His Bible audiobooks are great as well. One of my RUclips favorites.
I cannot get used to see him without Poirot’s mustache!😄
Thanks for this marvellous program and David's wonderful English voice I visited England in the 70 was enchanted with the history and ancient buildings
We’ve taken so many of these pilgrimages, and will probably spend the rest of our lives walking portions of them. We’re completely taken in, and have, I’ll venture to say, experienced a handful of miracles, most likely more that we were blissfully unaware of. Often it seems an academic approach to history and culture can be like plucking the wings off a butterfly, but these pilgrimages restore flight to wonder!
David Suchet is a wonderful actor, orator and human being. Loved this. Thank you so much. Subscribed xx Teresa 🇦🇺♥
Thank you. I loved this. A wonderful journey from the comfort of my home. ❤
I so enjoyed this journey I will never be able to see these all some I have had the pleasure of visiting. Thank you so much from Cape Town
I'm not a religious person but I recognise the great beauty and awe inspired by these glorious buildings.
A pilgrimage inspired by the power and dedication of the people of faith ,by their spirit and beauty ,and you have done it perfectly !
Thank you so much for this splendid presentation !❤🙏
I like the idea of pilgrimage and hope to start embarking someday. To the Cathedral of my diocese, to Walsingham, to Cathedral of Westminster, to Rome and to the Holy Land.
Wonder after Wonder, this magnificent pilgrimage towards these beautiful England's cathedrals is a must for architecture, history and art lovers, besides their beliefs, me specially loved Wells so you better choose your favorite guided by the voice of the extraordinaire actor David Suchet. Enjoy it and God bless you all!❤
What a wonderful presentation! Thank you for uploading this.
Thank you so much 👏🏼💕💓💗🇦🇺💕💓💗🏴🏴🏴🇮🇪🇬🇧🇦🇺👏🏼👏🏼💕💓💗 can’t wait for the next one 👍💗💓💕
When there are prayer intentions rattling around in my mind, I've often found that pilgrimage is the best thing to do. Some physical and financial effort, bodily taking them to a holy place, and asking the saints who are still at work there to take over, has brought a lot of peace. And you always returns from pilgrimage a bit different - it changes you 😊
I agree :)
I loved everything about this wonderful video!! From David Sushay, to the historical information, to the amazing views of these God honoring
buildings....and the music is exquisite!!!! Thank you!!!!
I've been lucky enough to see so many Cathedrals in Europe and the UK, but none has left me as awestruck as Wells Cathedral.
David Suchet is a great speaker and actor
Beautifully narrated by Sir David !
I made a pilgrimage many years ago, to the Spanish missions in San Antonio, Texas, beginning with Mission San Antonio de Valero, also known as The Alamo. I enjoyed it much; there is peacefulness in them.
Beautiful ❤! Thank you for sharing this incredible video!!!!! It always amazes me at the detail of work inside and outside of the cathedrals! How they built these fantastic places in those times! Brilliant 🎉❤!
Chanced upon this video. For me seeing the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela was my Wow and humbling moment. We have visited some of these too,hope to visit the rest. Thank you Poirot oops Mr Suchet
Amazing cathedrals
God bless his followers 🙏
How many wonderful and faithful Catedral!
Thank you for this video.
Greetings from Italy!

Nice footage - I had already previously been thinking how much courage it must have taken to erect this spire that pins right into the sky`s blue infinity and beyond.
David Suchet is a treasure of a man .
Thank you for sharing. I loved it!
A lovely video. I'm going to go to all of them starting this weekend to Southwark.
Really nice narrative, lovely to listen to..
Can’t wait for the rest of the episodes!
There's no discouragement
Shall make him once repent
His first avowed intent
To be a pilgrim.
That transports me right back to chapel days at school.
oh what a lovely video ❤🙏🏻💕
I went to see Wells Cathedrals last year. I was absolutely awe stuck by the size, detail and grandeur. So worth a visit.
Was it not on 5 May during the reign of Henry VIII (I think 1534) that England made its final break from Rome?
Great thanks for this video and for the evangelism of David Suchet!
Fabulous 💜
That was wonderful, thank you very much , the lofty Cathedrals were built to help you spiritually to be drawn heaven wards.
Only the spirit of God can draw you heaven ward to God, not a building
Grandioso documentario , simplesmente espetacular ! marcos lopez - USA
Oh my Gosh, Richard whiting was a martyr! 😮🙏🏼
Оh! I so liked that serial! Thank you!
Ooh history. Cathedrals and suchet yippee:)
Unfortunate that there are too many commercials to make it enjoyable to watch.
well done.
That voice.
Awesome!❤
Why is Henry now describing Thomas as a “low-born cleric” when previously it had always been “turbulent priest”?
In Poland pilgrimige tradition still is strong ( individual or group, on foot or by bus, local or international to Santiago de Compostella, Rome, Jerusalem etc). Walking clear your mind. Even when you are not a religiouse person.
Thank you.
Very good. Many in the UK would benefit from a Christian pilgrimage. They do not know what they are missing.
🧐 Mr. David Suchet. 😇💯💯👋👋👋👋👍👍👍!!💐💐🌹🌹! TO YOU . THANKS . From, (2024).
Thanks
Thanks for your gift!

I love deranged english humour - he talks about "pilgrimage" and shows us a grinning woman in abominable clothes that walks unsteadily with a tiny backpage through some forest.
Lovely effort to exhibit what is left of the cathedral age in England. It was Henry VIII who instructed the destruction of Thomas a Becket's tomb, both at Canterbury, and at the Bridge in London, so one can hardly castigate the 'reformation' for its destruction of thousands of artifacts, stained glass, illuminated manuscripts, sculptures and abbeys when the king himself led this wholesale ruination, Henry's own "bonfire of the vanities" as it were. The Lindisfarne Gospels escaped that fury by an inch. Imagine how many others did not.
I think Wells is the one I want to see most, after Canterbury maybe.
I had a colleague who lived in Vicar's Close, beautiful place. He was something to do with Wells Cathedral, a chorister I think.
Liverpool Anglican cathedral is beautiful..and we have two..A Catholic one at the opposite end of Hope street.
38:38
What a gorgeous place!
Anybody knows how it is called and if it has been amassed by humans ?
Just imagine a cathedral on top of that hill!
Saint Paul preached at Ludd Hill, the sight of St Paul's Cathedral. Acts 29.
Canterbury the Very Start? Give me a break. One of the first things Augustine had to do was to meet with the bishops. Pagans had bishops? They were Celtic Christians, who originated in Ireland.
A wonderful video - but there is one error, David Suchet wrongly states that the Golden Window of Wells cathedral is placed in the Lady chapel, when in truth, it is located in the choir above the high altar - and what a magnificent window it is, too.
Like many others here, I, too, would like to know if there are any tour companies that have trips to these places. I live in the United States.
tours of excellence company arranges cathedral tours either self driven or with a driver. Search out their website.
38:50
Just look at the elaborate architecture at the top left of the picture - we have gone a long way from the "dark middle ages" to our "enlightened present"
Anybody remember the book pilgrims progress
Exeter Cathedral??? Hope they visit it in a later episode
Let’s hear the organs and choirs of these cathedrals on future installments. Some of your music sounds like it came right out of a recording studio.
14:33
"Is guaranteed to lift the spirit..."
Reminds me of Shakespeare:
"Although it looks like madness, there is method in it."
The very moment the footage shows us another human in the most disgusting clothing!
How can those beasts` spirits be "lifted"?
By the way, all over the world smokers are being prosecuted, but you are allowed to enter holy places in shorts, t-shirts and naked feet!
Madame, vos aimables pensées sont les bienvenues - et vous ne devriez pas penser en fonction de votre âge. Tant que j'ai le souffle, je suis déterminé à revoir une fois de plus la puissante flèche de Rouen (avec laquelle le diocèse d'Ely dans le Cambridgeshire a partagé un temps son Ordinaire au XVe siècle - Louis de Luxembourg, Cardinal Archevêque de Rouen et Évêque d'Ely!) la vénérable Basilique Saint-Pierre-aux-Nonnains de Metz - l'envolée de la magnificence d'Amiens, Reims, Chartres et Beauvais - sans oublier la pure perfection gothique de Notre Dame de Paris...
...et puis-je suggérer gentiment une petite correction? "Mr. Suchet" est mort, vive Sir David😏
Would be 100x more interesting if this were contextualized as part of a series on pilgrimage presented in longer global human cultural practice.
❤❤❤❤❤
Hope Exeter on the list as a choirister there in 1960's😅
Magnificent tombs to the dead
I pray that Britain's churches, large or small, grand or humble, will fill up again with believers who possess a vital, Christian faith. Better to make a "pilgrimage" to your local, gospel-preaching church every Sunday than to trudge a hundred miles once or twice in your life, but forget about God the rest of your time on Earth. Still, I would love to visit these awesome cathedrals.

Never understood all this fuss about Jane Austen - I have read two books by her and nearly died of boredom whilst doing so.
🤲👑🤲
What is the recording of "Nicea" at the start?
29:42
Another beautiful nincompoop.....
Where can we watch episode 2, please?
A proper documentary for a change , no whacky C-listers bouncing around out of context
👍🏻
And again:
why do they show us all the time these ghastly people?
We just have to go outside to see these figures - this video should be about beauty!
Being a programme about British cathedrals, could we have British music instead of Allegri (Italian), Fauré (French) and the others. Why not have Byrd, Tallis, Howells, Battishill, Sumsion, Vaughan Wililams, Stanford, Wood, and a hundred others that were directors of music (organists) at these British cathedrals.
Those solar panels on Salisbury are truly inappropriate - green deal or not!
-correction to Derek 1264: the second line is "shall make him once RELENT" ... not repent!!!
Architecture is an identity of any nation indeed 👁️, henceforth regarding the matter of fact, the big question ❓ has been raisen unanimously, that why Great Britain lost it's own architectural identity intentionally ?
David Suchet ?? Moustache 😂 moustache.. 🎉
RCC
At 23:39 The Archangel Gabriel is appearing to the Blessed Virgin Mary, not Zacharias. The depiction is that of the Incarnation of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
They were the Catholic Church's great cathedrals until Henry the 8th kicked the Church out and stole all the Church property.
I always find it interesting how reluctant the English are to acknowledge many of their famous cathedrals as having been built as Roman Catholic cathedrals, which were seized by Henry VIII and and given to his new church. If a cathedral was built prior to 1530, it was originally Roman Catholic.
Are we reluctant? The circumstances surrounding the break with Rome are taught in schools and generally well known. However it was almost 500 years ago and the majority of cathedrals have been Anglican for longer than they were Roman Catholic. To be honest I don't think most people think about it - it is just the way that it is.
Also there is a huge continuity of worshippers and parishioners - replacing bishops or monks didn’t mean most Christians were rendered ‘homeless’. In fact the survival and use of many Cathedrals and parish churches is the result of their loyalty to their communities and ancestors. Hence to many our Cathedrals are simply English rather than ‘Roman’
How many English people have you asked or does this represent a personal concern? Its my experience that most people don't care and those that do, just accept the history without getting het up about it.
@@JohnMatthews-tv7tf oh really? What you think you know is nothing but propaganda of the side that thought it won. But it matters not. Anglicanism is turning to dust.
People Betty Christ and his church don’t like drawing attention to this fact.
