      That's amazing, I encourage everyone to research their ancestry, you can find some incredible things to be proud of.

    Great video mate, very interesting. I'm from Cheshire and I can remember being told about Beeston castle as a child. We were told that In the civil war the officer who surrendered the castle was shot behind the church in Nantwich for handing over the castle. Not sure how true it is but this is why history is absolutely amazing.
    Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming mucker. I've just discovered your channel and it's helping to keep me sane in this current madness
    ( More videos about Cheshire would be fantastic)

      Oh wow, i didnt read about that when i researched the castle. I might have to read up on it a bit more! And I will see what i can do, Cheshire is a lovely place full of history but i only spent 1 day there, will have to go back!

    Would you be intrested in doing an episode on Bungay castle?

    • @AlexTheHistoryGuy
      @AlexTheHistoryGuy  3 года назад +1

      I definitely could, there isnt much there anymore but the church is very interesting as it used to be an Abbey but its partial destruction was a key factor in triggering Kett's rebellion in 1549

    May I enquire, how exactly do historians know what it supposedly cost to to carry out work described @4:45?

    • @AlexTheHistoryGuy
      @AlexTheHistoryGuy  Год назад

      Dating as far back as Norman times, written records would be kept for pretty much any big construction project for tax & admin purposes, it's just luck that these records survive into the modern day.

      @@AlexTheHistoryGuy One look at the aesthetically pleasing designs of the Victorian, Georgian and Edwardian town houses for example clearly suggests the opposite, with costs having no relevance whatsoever. Cut stone and fine bricks, big oversized doors, rooms with grand high ornate ceilings. All these are standard and found in every home which is indicative of a culture of masterbuilders, not bean counters.
