First of all, a belated very happy birthday Caroline! Glad to share a moment of it it with you. Your birthday tea looked absolutely delicious! It's a shame there's no YouShare as well as KZfaq! But anyway, hooray, another outing! It was a very soothing drive to get to Abergavenny and a fascinating visit. So much history and it really does give pause for thought that so many of our historic buildings are repurposed, but their story can still be told, no matter how many reincarnations they have. Even the Priory church, which clearly went through some terrible times, but still stands to tell its own story. Thanks once again for taking us all along!

Thank you Miss Merrily, yes, the tea was very tasty and we totally agree about the concept of a YouShare on the internet. 🍰😄😂 So glad you enjoyed the drive as well as the tour of Abergavenny town. It is a lovely place with so much history, we'll definitely be going back for another visit. And as you say, even if the buildings are repurposed they still stand so we can discover the stories they have to tell. Thanks for watching 🙂😎🐼

@@LetsgowithTheJohnsons That was a wee bit too much serendipity for me because as I was watching and you were in the church I was wondering if any of my ancient ancestors might have ever been in that church and just then at 14:23 you read a stone that said James Williams October 5, 1824, aged 31 druggist. I live in America so the tours you give are wonderful. And now a little supernatural.

Hi there from Australia. I loved this video as it was very informative, and an insight from where my ancestors came from.. Many of Australia's ancestors came to Australia as free people (not as convicts). On my maternal side the Davies family came from Abergavenny, but they came on an "Assisted Passage". My understanding is that "the church parish" paid to relocate families rather than having to support them for a lifetime. Is this a topic that you might consider covering in the future. I believe this happened all over England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland. Kind regards, Stuart

@LetsgowithTheJohnsons 7 ай бұрын

Hi Stuart, greetings from the valleys of South Wales, and the land of your ancestors. We love to visit Abergavenny and have made a few videos there. The practice of assisted passage was very popular as u=you say across the UK and continued in some form right into the 1970's when Caroline's parents were planning to emigrate under the £10 scheme which attracted over 1 million people to make the move. I'm sure that we'll find an opportunity to cover this in a future video, thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching 🤠🙂🐼

Hi 3 years ago I had a motor home and I was parked at the rear of the car park by the entrance, I stayed the evening as it was free 6am to 8pmif I remember correctly. I decided to stay for the day and paid for parking so I could look around abbergaveny and go out in the evening for a couple of pints and a meal, when I was at my mobile home I was approached by two men who told me that I could not stay over nightthis perplexed me as it stated on the parking sign that over night stay is free. I said do you want visitors to your town and that I would be spending money to help the businesses in the town, but I was told again I could not stay over night ,that's one town I'll avoid in future
