Lived in Chippenahm for 25 years and have always heard of the legend, only a couple of years ago did I cycle all the way up to "end", it's beautiful on a clear day! This video is by far the best explanation of it I've ever heard - it's a crime that you only have less than 4k followers! Loving the local videos
At around 7 mins you mention the first time her gift was publicly mentioned was around 2 centuries afterwards. Seems to me this is likely just because for a good while the people of the local area "just knew" of her and her funding of the path and it was 2 centuries later that the need for a written explanation was established due to her contribution fading from local common knowledge and oral history.

who knows, in 2023 I might even intrepidly voyage as staggeringly far afield as, say, Dorchester, or Devizes

great stuff, as ever. Thanks
I've driven past the sun dial every day for 10 years and never knew what it is. Thanks 👌🏻
Thanks for this. I grew up in Sutton Benger, just down the road from here. Living in New Zealand now so this was a great nostalgia-fix
