    What a beautiful, beautiful town. No matter how many times I visit the UK and Ireland my mind still boggles at the buildings from the 1400s. Still beautiful, well maintained and fully functioning in their new (or continued) use.

      of course, they remain because they were built for a time without power, without reliable water, etc. they are extremely efficient and they show their value in times of crisis.

    Hello Memory Seekers, thanks for views of such a cosy town, it was a great pleasure to hear your voice again and enjoy ancient architecture of your native Motherland, to learn more about history of your country, music is also so soothing, good luck in your work and life, merry Christmas😄🎄🎁❄🎅

    Thank you! This made for a perfect tea break in the madness leading up to the holidays. What a pretty and charming town-- and I see you are about to share your visit to Wells, my favourite place in the south-west. I wish you both a very Happy Christmas. I'm looking forward to more of your travels in the New Year.

      Don't find it so. The streets are disproportionately narrow, all the houses stuck together in single unbroken rows, no front gardens, no pretty fences around the properties. Everything that makes a town charming is missing.

      Yes. The commentary is always interesting and informative, yet soothing.
      I was wondering if "King John's Hunting Lodge" might be a sly, and possibly contemporaneous, reference as wool merchants were not generally well liked for pricing practices. Could it have been his prey were the locals, who responded with the name?

    Thanks so much for a beautiful video and all the work you did to bring it to us!! A charming little town id love to visit someday if I ever make it across the Pond. I love that they put the blue plaques on some of the properties so 1 can read what it used to be or who lived there in days gone by. And that some of the property's exteriors were take back to their middle ages wood beams look! ❤❤

    I am afraid to say i put the Irish Lilly next to the Heart I had designed and John Patrick Hughes was furious with me for the connection’ but I insisted it was a mark of peace and reunification of both countries and his Tourettes subsided because he adored me for my transparency and clarity ☮️❤️🥰🙏

    While I could never live in a house where my front door opened directly onto the road, these charming homes are so interesting in their variety. I love how they have evolved over the centuries, and in true British form, the history of so many has been noted for future generations. In America, there are too many places where the houses all look the same. Lovely to see you again (I'll have to catch up on Cheddar Gorge...anything named after cheese has got to be good, lol!) I adore the church on the hill, though I agree that the bright(!) green water does not tempt. Cheers my good fellows!

    • @marypiper8161
      @marypiper8161 Месяц назад +1

      I think the cheese was named after the area where it was originally made, and is still produced, not the other way around!

    I been present in that beautiful church as I had a habit of leaving a Faith Hope Charity , calling card ‘ in every church or Cathedral I visited in England, and others like Basilica of the National Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of Ta' Pinu , card was not printed when I visited The VATICAN in ROME many years before when my daughter Faith Hope Charity was baptised in the water troff I found outside so I blessed her myself with water 💧

    A fascinating and well researched vid. Sadly it was notable that many of the homes were obviously converted from commercial premises. With the exception of a few enterprises this beautiful town has become a dormitory like so many similar towns and villages.

    A few years ago we visited Cheddar Gorge. The natural gorge itself was spectacular and well worth the visit but we found it hideously over commercialised. If only we had known that this quaint town was just down the road, it would've been a great place to stop.

    Everyone seems to love these little old towns but I personally don't find them all that charming. The streets are disproportionately narrow, all the houses are lumped together in an unbroken line and there are no front gardens or even lawns, no fences around the property. Not particularly attractive imo.
