It was Amazing, Yeah Amazing, I loved watching and learning about the history and the art. I loved the stained glass windows, and visiting the many sites, that was truly Amazing. With all the sites you visited, I really liked the ancient people ruins / sites, sights to wonder about and to think about their advanced knowledge of moon sun and stars important in every day life

Your video was one of those lucky finds that came up on my feed. It looked like you had a lovely day in England with some great guides. I live about 30 miles north of Salisbury and Winchester. I really hope you were being sarcastic when you said you ate the local cuisine though! I'm glad that they took you to Old Sarum as it's a great place even if it is rather windy up there! The Magna Carta isn't just one of the best preserved copies it is the best preserved copy. There are only 4 from 1215 in existence. The water feature is actually the font 😂It was a bit controversial when it was first installed but I love it. The blue window at the end is the same age as me (44) though it has aged much better! This year is the first time since 1987 where there has been no scaffolding on the outside of the Cathedral because of restoration works. The last of it was taken down earlier this year and I don't remember it without the scaffolding. One of our 20th century Prime Ministers, Edward Heath, lived in Salisbury and is buried there. In 2021 Salisbury Cathedral became a covid vaccination centre and the lovely organist would play for all the people having their vaccines. Winchester was once the capital of England and was where the treasury was kept which is why it was one of the first targets of William the Conqueror. There is another link to Henry VIII in Winchester. Prince Arthur, elder brother to Henry VIII, was born there. Arthur died aged 15 but not before he married Catherine of Aragon, who later became the first wife of Henry VIII. The biggest argument of their divorce was whether Arthur and Catherine consummated their marriage or not. There was a trail of their marriage in London, presided over by a Italian Cardinal sent by the pope who also happened to be the Bishop of Salisbury! I used to work at Stonehenge. It was nice you got a glimpse. There is another, larger stone circle about 20 miles north called Avebury. To anyone reading who's not heard if it, it's worth looking up.

Absolutely sarcastic - We've stopped USA fast food restaurants along our entire journey. I'm so glad our video popped up on your feed! We had a fantastic day in England with wonderful guides. It's great to hear more about Old Sarum, the Magna Carta, and the Cathedral's history. Your insights on Winchester and Salisbury are fascinating! Thanks for sharing about Stonehenge and Avebury too. We wish we had more time to stop and see everything.

That's a very simplistic presentation of Henry VIII's position. 1. Henry died a Roman Catholic and was buried with RC rites. 2. He had been married to Catherine of Aragon for over twenty years. 3. He was an absolute monarch in a world of absolute monarchs, he needed a son to secure the Tudor dynasty. 4. Julius II had granted him dispensation to marry Catherine, his brother Arthur's widow. 5. He appealed to Clement VII for an annulment. 6. Rome was occupied by German mercenaries and Clement was being held under siege in the Castel de St Angelo by Charles V who happened be Catherine's nephew. 7. Of course Clement, who was looking after his Medici family interests wasn't going to offend Charles V.

Salisbury is pronounced Salsbri not salisberry. Most English place names that end in bury are pronounced this way. The exception is Bury in Lancashire which is pronounced as written.
