Watching this video brought back some great memories from when I visited York in 2009. Turpin's grave was one of the sights I went to, but more than seeing that I think what really stuck with me was the lovely inscription on one of the other graves: "A loving father, a husband dear, a faithful friend lies buried here". I still think about him and wonder who he was in life.

Apparently DT had visited more pubs than the VAT man, another notorious bunch of highway robbers. 😂

I am originally from York and left in 2001 and now live in Norwich. York is ok for tourists but I’ve no desire to return. Very interesting video. Thank you. 😃👍

Hi again & thanks for yet another interesting & informative upload. York has yellow line's everywhere, no free parking. Did you get a parking ticket? Your passenger side front wheel was over the line. My partner & I will visit as we'd like to see his grave & it's a niice area.

York is beautiful. I've been a few times. I didn't know about this though.

Wow Alan what a beautiful place and a fascinating story it gives me the shivers when a life is taken in that way must have been dreadful even if he was a bad man god rest his soul ❤️😊👍🏻

Great video Alan I will be going to York next year and after watching your video I'll certainly give dick Turpin's grave a visit I love York even spent my honeymoon there Keep the good work up Alan

He came to my hometown in Essex. Raided a farmhouse and stole sheets and silverware.

The farm next to were I grew up in Essex was called deeks supposed to have been changed from dicks. Named after Mr Turpin.

Guy Fawkes was baptised in the church next to the minster and is a native of York. Another interesting fact is that in York on bonfire night he is not burnt as a Guy etc etc lol. Anyway enjoyed your video.

Hello, well the statue slowly walking down the shambles does it for charity, he's been doing it a long time now,wow. 👍🙂👍

I'll bet all those people who went to see his grave said 'jeez is that it.

Very interesting place man not nice man who who was hanged for evil doings thanks for sharing this great channel 😮😢

Hello steel, I did the video of dick turpin. If you want to watch it in York, there's a commemorative grave. Interesting. Thank you, Alan

I've lived in york my whole life (24 years) nice place to live not cheap though. Guy fawkes house is very close to the minster

Can't say I ever heard this fella sing, 🤣 but I heard he cut quite a dash, holding up young damsels in stagecoaches.

You seems to say do slot not snd mate

Dick Turpin went into a pub on the A444 called the Cock Inn...well worth a visit....very original and most atmospheric...Turpins bar and Grill is nearby Dick was always a hero in books and on the street...Legend!

his real name was richard leslie upton.

He was just like James Nevison aka John Nevison or William Nevison (Nickname Swift Nick) an earlier highwayman also executed in York as well in 1682 /1684 not sure of his death check him out

Absolutely love the history of dick Turpin ❤❤❤❤❤ read the books and shows

Shambles means slaughter house, we have one in Worcester, probably most old cities also have their own “Shambles”😎

It's surprising that people actually see him as a sort of hero. Highwaymen were violent scum. Where I live theres a story about a Highwayman called William Crew. It's said he was known to be acquainted with Turpin but I don't think the dates tally . He was a notorious highwayman that avoided the noose and became a man of the cloth at a local church in Wotton under edge. After a while, he decided there was more financial gain in robbing people and started robbing people again. It was rumored that he killed somebody which he always denied and eventually he was caught and charged with murder and robberies etc. He was going to hang even without the murder charge. Whether or not he did kill somebody, he denied this but if you were hung for murder, you were hung then medically dissected. This was possibly a good reason to plead not guilty to murder but he was hanged and its said that a huge crash of thunder and lightening happened during his excecution, which people were taking this to mean that God was displeased with an injustice. His body was taken away for dissection and after the body was said to have been buried at the church he worked in, in an unmarked grave. His ill gotten gains were never found (well officially.) Who would have disclosed that they found it. Finding loot is not gonna benefit a person by giving it to the authorities ) it was said he buried or hid them in local woods, which even today would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's a well wooded valley.

Dick Turpin rode and stayed in my hometown of Leyland, Lancs, and a road and green is named after him, namely Turpin Green. Also, the house he stayed at has a plaque over the front door.
