    One of your best this Dave. As a religious historian of sorts, glad you put out the abbey info...its amazes me that many think of Henry simply as some sort of adulterer, albeit a violent one. His theft, murder and destruction of defenceless populations of religious has few, if any, peers in Britain. They certainly knew how to demolish!
    On a lighter note, those pies wil; draw me...bring my own Lanccy Parkin!

    Dave you really found us some lovely lanes and villages to explore here and such history we have here oop north. And that toll bridge was magnificent!
    Helmsley looked wonderful and your sharing of knowledge of the area with us made the ride so interesting. A real treat. I think this must rate for me as your finest day runs - though it's a tough call 😂 Great to be riding with you again. Thank you so much for doing all the research and editing. Your retirement can't be too far off now I think? Roll on good weather and the free time to enjoy it 👍 Peter

    Enjoyable video! 👍 We went up to Boroughbridge and over the rickety bridge at Aldwark on a ride out. And also a little further north to Myton on Swale where there was a battle against the Scots, I think in 1319, commonly known as The White Battle because the English army included Monks in white habits, possibly forced to fight, and their white corpses left on the field after the battle gave it the name! 👍
