When you were in Carshalton Park, you had 1st Wallington Scout Group HQ in the background, yet didn't mention the red plaque that in on their building... 27 B271 maps.app.goo.gl/AXPPYtbcBSaicqXw5?g_st=ac

Aww! Cutie!!

Excellent stuff Marq. Have you sampled any Long Man beer? Their Long Blonde and American IPA are superb. Also, there's a book by Rodney Casteleden named "The Wilmington Giant" which is a fascinating book and proposes theories as to his origin. Sadly, the Long Man is no longer cut into the chalk these days, rather delineated by white kerbstones, but he is still impressive from a distance. Looking forward to your next video already.

What an absolutely charming place, and that yew! Quite stunning. At least on my walk you got a bit nearer to the Long Man! Looking forward to the next instalment!

I did enjoy that video- love seeing the ancient yew! So good to see that the locals are looking after it! The roof beams in the church looked new replacing the burnt ones presumably! The church needed fresh flowers! Just had the one stand with a few worse for wear flowers. It would have made all the difference! Nice to come out & have the view of The Long Man! Ps Sorry about your bad accommodation! - did you complain?

Sweet! That kitty matches the paneling, too! 😁

What an interesting place - reminds me a bit of the caves in Hastings with all the mannequins and slightly odd piped music!

Aww what a sweet cat❤, I have a lovely cat named Neela and since first bringing her home in 2012 I’ve been amazed at how friendly they can be mostly 🐱🐈

What a lovely cat, i hope its not homeless, but with that personality someone will adopt in a heartbeat. Cheers from San Diego

Cat videos should do wonders for the subscription level!

Beautiful!

A lovely place with amazing views! We used to go to Birling Gap but that whole area is gorgeous. Looking forward to Wilmington - somehow we missed that area with the Long Man! Thanks Marq. ( that mowing person must have your itinerary!)

thanks for the vid, we live in Southborough, Tunbridge wells, we must do a walk around the village👌

Beautiful scenery such a lovely part of the world.Glad you shared.

Gorgeous seascape! Yeah, who needs Florida! That view of the cottages is somewhat iconic, just as you said. One day I'll get there myself! Love the accommodation! A shared bathroom is nothing. I lived in a bedsit for over 9 years sharing the bathroom but to have such a place to stay, even with a shared bathroom, is still a great opportunity. yes, that landscape is stunning. Once it infiltrates your heart you never forget it!

Lovely video Marq, haven’t been up there for a while, last time for a car picnic to celebrate my birthday one wet and cold February day with a walk to Cow Gap to watch the waves. Bracing!

I love it Marq. Thank you for sharing. Mum and Dad used to run the Alfriston Art Gallery. I was privileged to watch the grey mullet fish coming up on the tide from the white bridge at lunchtime.

Close to home this. Only 5 minutes down the road from me. I'd completely forgotten about that twitten. Should have told me you were coming, I'd have bought you a pint!!

Good Vid Wtg Marq

You drove past the Chalk Horse at High and Over.

What a lovely video Marq, and a beautiful place, one I've not been to but seen lots of photos of. Fantastic, and the weather was perfect for you. I love your quirky accommodation. At the end of this month we are staying in a shepherds hut. I can't wait. Thank you for sharing your adventures in Sussex; looking forward to the others yet to come 🥰

The ruined church was cool. Shame the rain stopped you having that first sighting of Canterbury Cathedral. It is always exciting arriving somewhere on foot. I renember my first sight of Bath from Prospect stile on the Cotswolds Way and Ely cathedral from the Herewards Way.

The home hills effect! Which is why I have a deep affection for the South Downs myself being born in Brighton. The main difference is the South Downs are much barer particularly in the east whilst the North Downs are much more wooded. Last time I went past the cottages they had the gardens open so it was great to have a nose around. I kept wondering if you wouid go right down to the beach and see the old cable hut on the east side of the cottages. Hope you took your head torch for night time visits to the toilet block!!

That's a lovely spot for a beach walk. We've done it many times.

Really nice video Marq, thanks for sharing 😊

I've watched this twice and loved it. Thank you. So lovely.

At Wimbledon theatre tomorrow for Pink Floyd Marq

Am enjoying the walk! Very pretty area in Kent! Thanks Marq.

hi

Nice one Marq. As you say, the Courthouse Museum is well worth a visit especially for the history of the Cinque Ports, Pevensey Castle and the Roman fort. 😃

Gaol Lane is pronounced Jail Lane.

Ah, my England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Mr English, and my pub lunch! 😉👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🍷

The Smugglers restaurant is damn good!!! and the paranormal investigation we did together Marq was brilliant!

Nice one Marq, lovely part of the country which we don't visit often enough 🥰

For some bizarre reason, I've never explored Chiddingstone, despite it being on my doorstep. Great Vid!

First to like 😄

Another interesting story that is linked with this church: Inside the church is the tablet as a memoire for the victims of greatest avalanche in UK that happened in Lewes at Christmas time in Lewes. 8 people were buried under snow and died.

John Harvard married Ann Sadler in 1636 in this church. John is the person whose personal fortune was given to launch Harvard College in Colony Bay (today's part of Harvard University in Cambridge), after he passed away due to compression (tuberculosis) in 1638. He gave away half of his fortune (780GBP + ~300 books).

It’s a stunning church, both inside and out, isn’t it? Do energy currents only flow one way or are they bi-directional?

West Ham

Have you ever noticed how the tower to the left of the entrance (as you're looking at it) looks shocked? 😮

Hi Marq. A great looking village and what a fabulous church. Lots of history. Beautiful stained glass. Always love these older examples. I agree it does seem to be missing paintings or frescos. Maybe whitewashed over for protection as I have found in some churches. An enjoyable watch mate. I do like the short sharp format. However a video is as long as it needs to be 🤷🏻‍♂️. Top job. Keep well. Have a good week. 👍🏻🚶🏻‍♂️🚶‍♀️

I wonder if anyone csn answer this question. One church I worked at, had a small door that was called the devils door. I believe it was opened prior to a service, to let the devil out. I can only remember seeing that at this church. Do other churches have similar? From memory: i think it was called Folkington PC. A small hamlet near Eastbourne.

There's a plague pit round the back of the church marked out by a few small stones in the grass 😮

I like the info board with the artists impression of life inside the Roman wall and Castle 😃

I think the railway station is called Pevensey & Westham. Lots of layers of history in that church! I think the length should be dependent on subject and content but around 10 mins is a nice little bitesize morsel!

In the tower of the church, the tenor bell was recast (along with the other 5) in 1921 and has a war memorial on it, with the names of the ringers who died in the Great War.

Actually it’s good to have a variety of times- short & long- depends on what you are looking at- wouldn’t like it to be uniform& you have to rush the dialogue or draw it out! Glad the church was open! Thanks Marq!

Come on you hammers ⚒️ .

Love the music you add to these videos thanks Marc!
