Julie, I think this may be of my favorite videos that you've done. I could spend DAYS in that church looking at all details, the stones, the carvings, the bells, the windows, the library... What's most amazing is that the astronomical clock may indeed show our universe as it truly is...you know, before Copernicus threw a wrench in the works. Before then, the entire world believed and knew that the earth stood still, and the sun, moon and stars revolved around IT. Why? Because that's how God created it, as noted in Genesis 1. ;-)

I think I've got my facts right here. Have you researched the Rev. Charles Cavendish-Bentinck, Rector of Wimborne Minster sometime in the 19th century? Not only was he a great-nephew of the Duke of Wellington - his grandmother eventually married Wellington's brother after having been his French mistress; and not only was his first wife a Gypsy; but his daughter by his second marriage was Countess of Strathmore, her daughter was Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, and therefore his great-grandaughter is the Queen!

My mind and curiosity goes to the people who did the physical labor and craftsmanship of these monumental structures. From the planning to preparation of the site, to the immense project of bringing in all of the stones and the grand accoutrements, the craftsmanship of every fine detail ... My imagination pictures the humans who made this possible. It had to be like living in a work camp. Those people had to live very nearby during the construction. The details of feeding/clothing/housing and maintaining order among the community of individuals responsible for creating this structure fascinates me.

@excession3076 Жыл бұрын

I don't think the people lived in "work camps". These building projects took decades to complete, sometimes centuries. I think it's more realistic to think of them as long term, ongoing building sites and for the townsfolk around them it was like living near the local "factory" (in modern terms). Many worked at the "factory", many worked providing the services to the people working there, many worked supplying the materials. Salisbury Cathedral was built in 34 years, extraodinarily fast, but that's still a lifetime of work. They married, raised children and went to work everyday at the Cathedral or the quarry, or the timber yard, just like you would at Ford/Microsoft.

I wonder if there is any record of what happened to the original clock mechanism? The 1386 clock at Salisbury was found about a hundred years ago, tucked away in a little room, where it had apparently been stashed after it was replaced with a newer mechanism. It was cleaned and repaired, and is now working again. Wouldn't it be amazing if the mechanism that drove this beautiful ancient dial turned out to be still in existence somewhere!
