Fantastic video, the Elsdon castle is an impressive sight, the shot of you running up it really gave it an effective sense of scale. It's a shame they offended the hob, it must have made their lives a great deal more difficult. I wonder where he walks today, and if he's helping someone new.

An excellent story my friend 😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😉👍👍 Hob is a very, ancient name linked to magical creatures and even the devil himself. That place near the hill was very beautiful indeed and its great to hear a new view of this hardworking Hobthrush goblin. It was a shame that the Hob was insulted by the good meant new cloths. Was it a parable..don’t treat your workers or even slaves…too well 🤔😉

Millions of people have probably seen “hobgoblins” in video games, but I’m sure very few people would be able to explain where the term originates from, or the difference between a goblin and a hobgoblin.

We love your videos ardently.. were that we there to walk up that castle mound with you.. from the top the view is awesome., My Mum told many tales of Hobs.. we children thought it was her way of asking for more help.. ;which she sorely needed.. so.. the lot of us would get up in the wee hours and do what we could.. As we were quite small.. and much work there was.. not much was accomplished.. But Mum was pleased with our efforts .. and there were always wee treats.. usually oatmeal cookies or cakes.. and milk.. to be found after.. This story brought back lovely memories of our sweet Mum.. and we be thanking you for that❣️ Excellent video as always.. and a shout out to KZitem for consistently presentlng these to us.. Once again.. you are in fine voice, Sir.. and we look forward to hearing more tales.. thank you so much 🌹☘️ William and Jen 💜💙🌱🌹🙏

I'd guess that the marks on the church were caused when it was stripped of all the Catholic decorative work by Protestant goons under one of the Tudors, rather than border reivers sharpening swords, since slashing a rough stone pillar is a guaranteed way to dull your blade, not sharpen it. Makes for a suitably bloodcurdling story, though.
