    Thank you for this wonderful video! A couple of suggestions worth visiting in my view - forgive me if you’ve previously done any videos there: St. Andrew’s, Nether Wallop, Hants - it has some wonderful medieval paintings as well All Saints, Hursley - burial place of Richard Cromwell As a historian, I love seeing all the unique treasures of our country’s churches. So beautiful and really connects me with my past as an Anglican and now a Catholic! Keep up the great work!

    It's interesting that there wasn't a London version of the Paris Catacombs. Paris had the same problem with growing and the Paris churchyards and cemetaries had, also, run out of room. I can't remember who came up with the idea of using the old underground quarries, but, that's how the Paris Catacombs were started.😮😮😮😮

    Pronunciation of Welsh digraphs can be tricky for English speakers. Welsh has 7 vowels so the words look confusing but are easy enough once the alphabet is known. As above, I love the videos and great to see some Welsh history.

    Not really Orthodox, It would have been a Catholic site. I guess it was a pre-schism Latin site, and so by Orthodox reckoning that would be when the Latin Church was still part of the Orthodox fold. But the Latin Church before and after the schism was the same body as it was before, wether or not it was still part of the true Church is a subjective theological judgement.
