We would really appreciate it👍🚶🏻♂🚶🏻♀
That was an awesome tour of the area and those old buildings. Super cool to see the architecture and craftsmanship of the structures. It is amazing how old they are too. Well done highlighting the area and telling about the history. Have a wonderful day.
Thanks a lot my friend. It is hard to imagine what has gone on over that many years.
Thanks for watching. Have a great weekend. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♂️
I always find it incredible that Odda's Chapel effectively dissapeared for 100s of years inside the court.
I loved my visit there when I was doing The Severn Way - as you say you can feel the history all around you. It has a very special atmosphere there.
Great to see you back on RUclips again Watto and Kim.
Very good video.
Take care,
Paul
Totally agree Paul. It is hard to appreciate the age of these places until you visit.
Thanks a lot. Back at it again and feeling loads better too.
Keep warm mate. Catch you soon. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Two beautiful buildings. So many were sacked. It's nice to see some intact and a church that's open too. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Chris. It is good to see these important parts of history and being kept well too.
Glad you enjoyed it. Best wishes Watto 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Both wonderful old buildings, Watto! Fascinating to get a bit of an insight into the construction of Odda's Chapel as it was a little more dilapidated. All the best and see you soon👍☺
Thanks Des, Glad you liked it. Fascinating place for sure and well worth a little poke about.
cheers.
Two fascinating and beautiful places. Great that ancient buildings like this are preserved.
Totally agree. I suspect that little area is flooded at the moment though.
Hopefully not too much damage as. No flood gates round the chapel.
Ey up me ducks. I trust you had a good Christmas and a happy new year. What beautiful old buildings. 👍🙂
Not too bad thanks me ol mate. they are well worth a visit. although at the moment they may be under water as the river is very close. Hope you are getting better buddy. Take care 👍🚶🏻♀️🚶🏻♂️
Lovely tour of this old Saxon church🤩 You’re so fortunate to live in a part of the world with so many ancient historical places to visit and film. Your videos certainly inspire me to visit one day. Have a great 2024 you two. 🤩😃
Hi Dave, yes indeed we are not short of these types of places. Glad you enjoyed seeing these two. And if you ever do venture across we would be more than happy to share a wander with you.👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
@@WanderingwithWatto Sounds great, thanks so much for offering your hospitality🤩👍
Your travelling content truly shines, and it's evident that you're an awesome creator. Keep up the fantastic work and inspiring us all!
Wow, thank you for you very kind words. I am glad you enjoyed this video, and thanks for your support. 👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
Amazing that Odda's Chapel was hidden for a while as a farmhouse, Watto and Kim. It's great it was found again and exhibited for all to enjoy. Nice 2nd floor shot. I was pleased to see you weren't going to try to climb up! 🤣🤣St. Mary church was lovely as well. As you mention the woodwork was great and the stained glass stunning.The Font was beautiful! Thanks so much for the tour.
A pleasure to have you along with us. Both the chapel and the church were well worth our little visit.
Thanks for watching. Have a great week. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Lovely wander around Deerhurst, the Chapel was lovely and very peaceful, the light really helped. The timbers looked great outside, fascinating to see them running through inside. A very private second floor only accessible by levitation! Sound spot on even in the wind! Spoiling us with these August walks in the dark of winter. What a lovely gate Kim! Perfect Kim door! Perfect carvings on the solid oak pulpit. Would love to hear that organ banging out! Very well kept. The Angel carving was really nice to also see. Kim is massive! 👍
Thanks for going us guys. Really appreciate all
Your support. The chapel is a fascinating place for sure. Good job I can levitate or I would have had to get Kim to do it sat on my shoulders. 🤷🏻♂️. Yeah love the summer although it was blowy to say the least then.
A contender for moody gate of the week I Rkn. Yes Kim has grown since you last saw her and is 7 ft tall. Honest 👀.
Thanks again both. Hope you are doing well. Best wishes from Glos vegas. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️❤️
Beautiful chapel inside and out . Thanks for showing us around Watto 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Adzey. Thanks for watching mate.
Always enjoy an historical tour, especially when you are going back that far - proper history and if those walls could talk. Nice to see the church still open for visitors (some are locked now) and a real nice church it was too, despite the £115 a day upkeep - yikes! A lot of these old churches have a tap and pay now, which is a great idea, rather than leaving cash for some toe rag to half inch. Loved the old carvings and especially the 9th century Saxon font and good to see you and the 7 foot tall Kim out again, cheers Alan
Glad you enjoyed it Alan. Yes indeed if those walls could talk. Soo much history there. Yep these churches are not cheap to upkeep. We do have a lot that are closed so they don’t get ransacked.
The font was just awesome. To think how long it would have taken to chisel away at a single block to come up with that.
Good to be back at it again. Even if Kim has grown a bit. 📏👀. Thanks for watching mate. Hope you are both keeping well. Cheers Watto. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Loved seeing Odda's church and the Kim-sized things. It's amazing that the church was hidden away for so long. Kim was so quiet while you vlogged and yet so noisy with that gate! 😂 Loved the stonework of the chapel.
Thanks Donna. A fascinating place to visit for sure. Yes Kim is always up to mischief. Keep well. Best wishes from us both. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Hey Watto nice to see you back with a video.! I studied Early Church History and we love visiting old churches and these were beautiful and so interesting. Enjoyed your tour .
Happy New Year both ! ~ Anna 👍
Thank so much Anna. 🙏🏻. I am fascinated by the history and always amazed at the architecture too. How many people were baptised in that font I wonder 🤷🏻♂️. Glad you enjoyed watching. Have a great week. Best wishes. Watto 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
@@WanderingwithWatto I know, so interesting. Going to be watching again with Alf tomorrow, he'll love this video 👍
Fabulous walk Paul some of this deep time real boggles the mid (beautiful places of worship)
But really good to see you and Kim (been missed mate)
All the best Simon 🤠👍🏔️
Ah thanks Simon. Really appreciate it mate. I agree hard to imagine what has gone on over the centuries.
Best wishes from us both. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Great video, like the background music it really fit 👌 subbed 👍
@@benziescha5438 thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed seeing around this interesting place. Welcome to the channel. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
NIce watching this beautiful place
Thanks for visiting with us. I am glad you enjoyed seeing it. Have a great weekend.
Nice seeing you guys back. Hope all is well. How neat that those old churches have been so well preserved. St. Mary's still looks like it is in use.
Thanks You too. Yes St Mary,s is still in use and is very well looked after.
Glad you enjoyed seeing these historic places. Best wishes from us both. Watto & Kim 👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
Such a wonderful and interesting walk.😊😊
Thanks for watching. 👍🏻Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶🏼♀️
Lovely little church 😊😊.
Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
What a fabulous old church. Just amazing what you find.
It is very special Alice.
Thanks for watching. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Well done filming the upper level with your long arm and your selfie stick! That's brilliant! So fun to see what's up there!!😮
It’s a fixer upper for sure.
Wednesday night and enjoying a bit of Watto and Kim! That’s a pretty impressive chapel, very cool. 1056? Wow. Nice shots of the second floor and lovely music choice. Ooh, windy day there, watch your cap there! The Saxon church looks amazing , great gate sound there Kim! Really pretty graveyard. It’s mad to think that some of that church is from 800AD, crazy! Wow, stunning inside. Neither of us are religious but we both love old churches, the architecture and stone work is incredible. Nice organ 😂🍆! £115 per day? I’ve never thought about how much a church costs to keep. The font is incredible, the history of these items are so fascinating. Loving the animal heads too. That angel carving is amazing. We never doubted that Kim was 7’ tall 😂. Really enjoyed that both, hope you’re both well x
Wowsers the prize for the longest comedy is deffo yours. Yeah we are the same not religious but do like poking around these places.
I did resist the organ gag this time.
Kim is actually huge o just keep her in the background so she looks small. 👀🤣🤣. We are good thanks back enjoying again. Thanks so much for the coffee. Really appreciated. Catch you again soon. Keep wandering. Watto & Kim. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Such great adventures . Love to see beautiful church and great to learn histories❤👍👍Happy 2024 friends🎉🎊🎉🤗
Thank you guys. These places always have such interesting history. Glad you liked it. Best wishes from us both. Watto & Kim. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Amazing structure in that church. 1200+ years old and it is beautiful still. I can imagine what took it place there over the centuries. Great outing Watto and Kim. Have a great week
Thanks Duane. Yes indeed. A few tales to tell I would imagine. Thanks for watching my friend. Best wishes. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Hi Watto and Kim. Wonderful footage of the Chapel and Church. Thank you so much for sharing.👍😊
Thanks Paul. Glad you enjoyed it. Have a great week. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Heard of it now want to visit ..only live in Bristol .now it's on my to do list .thankyou xx
Ah excellent. It is worth stopping into and having a look. The church is also very nice. And Tewkesbury is just up the road. Thank you for watching. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
There's the two lovelies!! Great to see you out exploring. That is some pretty marvelous history! I'm always impressed to see such structure still standing and preserved!! Awesome!! Bruce and Otis
Thanks Bruce. Glad you liked it. Yes amazing to think of when you consider the age of these places. Keep well my friend. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Hi~~~my dear friend...very nice place view and nice video....thank you for sharing ~~~😊😊😊
Hi Kim. Thanks so much for watching. I am glad you enjoyed it. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♂️
Hello there Watto and Kim. Great video to kick off 2024. May there be many more. Loved the chapel. Amazing isn't it, the build from then still standing. Modern buildings havent got that sort of stamina or class. Fabulous views on the second floor. Well done you for managing that. It sure was a windy day there you two. Wonder you weren't blown away. Amazing church. I so love wandering around in these churches of old. I can imagine Kim loving the photo moments and opportunities. Lovely lovely start to 2024 you two. 🩷👌🇳🇱🙋♀🇳🇿
Thanks Anita. It was lovely seeing these old places and feeling the history there. There were lots of photo opurtunities for sure but Kim had some issues with her camera so didn’t get as many as she wanted.
Thanks for coming along and your continued support. It is really appreciated.
🙏🏻👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️. Warm wishes from us both.
@@WanderingwithWatto Oh how frustrating for Kim. Drat. New year new challenges and adventures. The last thing you want is problems with the camera. Hope it gets sorted soon. 🩷🙋♀
Love the beautiful old chapels and churches there. Bet it gets cold in there. Thanks for the wander.
Thanks for watching Dan.
The chapel certainly will be a bit chilly in the winter. Although the church I believe has heating now. To keep the congregation comfy.
Have a good week my friend. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
What a truly beautiful church, loved looking around it. 😊
Cara it is so well kept. A credit to the local village tbh. Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching. Have a good week. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Great to see you back again--A fantastic place - Totally enjoyed
Thanks James. Needed a time out but looking forward to sharing our wanders again. Have a great week. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Missed you guys. Glad you put something out for us out wondering. Beautiful area and loved seeing the churches and surrounding area. Would love to take a trip to see some of the places you’ve shown us in some of your videos.
Ah thanks so much. Needed to prioritize some other things for a while, but back again for now.
We would love to wander with you guys some day it would be our pleasure.
thanks for sticking with us. warmest wishes from us both 👍🚶🏻♀️🚶🏻♂️
Great video Watto.
That Chapel and Church was amazing 👌
Thanks Phil. Glad you enjoyed it mate. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Watching this video gives us a great opportunity to discover places like Oda cable and St. Mary's Church in Deerhurst. It is an opportunity to get acquainted with the heritage of this beautiful region and enjoy the beauty of historical architecture.
Thank you for sharing this video
I am glad you enjoyed watching and coming along with us. We live in an area with lots of ancient history so try and seek it out where we can.
Thanks for watching. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
@@WanderingwithWatto I am glad to hear that you live in an area with a rich ancient history! It's great if you actively search for and explore historical sites in your area. There is a lot to learn and appreciate from the past. Thanks for sharing your experience and letting me come along almost. I really enjoyed watching and learning from your adventures. If you have stories anymore . Thank you for taking me on your historical travels, and I look forward to more in the future! 👍🏻 🚶🏻♂ 🚶♀ 🥰 ❤
Aack! I've visited this place twice over the last couple years...and filmed it for a vlog... but still haven't edited or published it yet! 🙄🙄🙄
Good on you for sharing this hidden treasure that is a relatively unknown "secret" gem of our beloved Gloucestershire!❤
Filmed this in August only just got round to it. 🤷🏻♂️
@@WanderingwithWatto I first filmed it in 2022! 😆
I've not seen that Saxon church before. Fascinating! Loved that font especially! Now I'm inspired to go have a visit! Great video 👍
Happy new year, Watto and Kim! XX Dara
It is well worth a visit. Unfortunately that area is flooded pretty bad at the moment so hopefully not too much damage and it will be ok when you are back across.
@@WanderingwithWatto I feel so bad for everyone affected by the terrible floods! Ugh!
Hello Watto and Kim 👋. Happy New Year 🥳. Thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing your 2023 journeys. Starting with this video for 2024 it’s amazing 🤩. Gorgeous and very interesting Medieval Church. Have a great day 👍. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪.
Ah thanks my friend. Glad you enjoyed seeing these places. Best wishes from us both to you and yours. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
It did look like a very blowy day indeed! 💨
Blowing a hoolie.
Happy New Year 🎉 Wonderful episode! I love seeing the chapel and hearing the history. The cemetery near the church has some beautiful headstones. It's crazy to see such an old building with modern-day trash bins next to it 😅 I'm glad you got to go into the church, some beautiful architecture!
Ah thanks and the same to you.
Yes it always bugs me that they could conceal the bins a bit better.
Unfortunately that whole area is flooded at the moment as the weather has been awful. Hopefully not too much damage.
Thanks for watching really appreciate it. Have a great week. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Impressive places 🤩
Yes indeed. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Lovely video. Thank You ❤️✌️
Thank you Owen. I am glad you enjoyed it. Have a great week. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♂️
Good tour
Thanks for watching. 👍🏻Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶🏼♀️
Good to see you back on RUclips Watto.
Lol, Kim, with the gate.... ruining your audio whilst you were talking, Watto. Great old churches, those flood gates will have been getting some use recently.
I'm sure there was a gag in there about the impressive organ.😊
It's weird to think how many folk have been baptised in that font, and I wonder if the guy who carved it could ever imagine it would still be in use in the 21st Century.
Thanks Andy. Yes it can be a challenge when your assistant plays up. At the moment the whole village is flooded. Hopefully not to much damage to the old chapel. The church is slightly higher although the levels are not good at all. The river is only about 500m away so won’t be good till it subsides.
Yes soo many baptisms etc. hard to imagine indeed.
Thanks for watching mate and your support.
Have a good week. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Incredible to think of the age of the chapel and church, both looked after really well. I was fascinated to see the flood gates as I've seen reports of flooding in the Uk at the moment, has that area been flooded or the gates do keep the water away from the buildings?
Hi guys
Thanks for watching. Yes that area is flooded at the moment as we have had very bad weather. No flood gates to protect the chapel so hopefully is ok. Pretty bad all along the river tbh. 👍🏻🚶♀️🚶🏻♂️
You pose Kim next to the devil's door and call it a Kim door. Does that mean Kim is a devil? 👿
She is a little devil indeed. We always lol for a Kim size door wherever we are. Not always on churches either.
Thanks for watching I hope you and Ian are both well.
