Welcome all to 1 Day as a Tourist in Chipping Ongar, Essex!
In this UK Travel Vlog I start off at the oldest wooden church in the world, built around 1060. Historic graffiti, a 12th century crusaders grave are some of the incredible finds here!
From the church I take you into the town which is absolutely packed full of history and local characters, from world famous explorers to a powerful Nobleman.
We get to know more about the brilliant locals, and I scoff an incredible Pie and Mash before delving into the history of Ongar Castle.
Finally I take you around the Epping to Ongar Railway where I learn about the tragic death of a local Priest who left the Railway Station bound for America, but sadly never returned...
Enjoy!
Feel free to like and subscribe for more videos if you enjoyed this one and would love to see more of me gallivanting around the UK and getting into mischief!

Great Video I now live in Australia but grew up in Ongar till I was 11 years old Both my sets of grandparents moved to Ongar in the early 1950’s and both my parents went to Ongar Comprehensive School plus many other members of my family. Various family lived on Ongar until about 7 years ago it’s a place that’s steeped in family memories. I’ve been once in about the last 25 years and your video has made me definitely want to revisit when I’m next in England and also go to Chloe’s as I grew up on and love Pie, Mash and Liquor. Thanks for the video

Hello adam , its now published in the Church booklet , its not a lepers squint but was used to give holy water to lepers.

Hi. The Bind therapist you were speaking to at 11:30 used to work as a teaching assistant at my secondary school in 2008/2009 (something which she didn’t mention). I was also in the same school year as one of her sons! Although I know Ongar, there were some monuments which I wasn’t fully aware about, so a fascinating video!

Went to Greenstead church with my mum today. She was a friend of the vicar back in the 1970's ... I introduced my self to an old gentlement who was leaving , we had a great chat. That little window isnt anything to do with lepers , its something to do with "holy water" and was next to the original door and you took Holy water before entering . If it was leper squint it would have faced toward the alter and been much larger , you can see F'all through it 🙂 Bought some whole grain mustard and they have now installed a card reader so visitors can make donations , met the lady who installed it and I did a test run .. great day , thanks for the Vlog

@ADayintheUK 2 года назад

Great stuff Jonathan, that’s some interesting info aswell. Everything online refers to it as a leper’s squint, including the guy who runs it, but then again none of us were there in 1060 to factually check it haha. The holy water answer is another interesting possibility, so thanks for that info Jonathan…very interesting and worth looking into…fascinating 🤟🏼

@patthewoodboy 2 года назад

@@ADayintheUK the lady who installed the card reader confirmed to me that it was a place where holy water was offered before entry to the church , the leper squint has become an urban myth.

@ADayintheUK 2 года назад

@@patthewoodboy interesting. There appear to be differing views on this. I’m open to both, but I’d love to know where she got that information to conclusively say that…but it does put a new spin on things…seems to me that we’ll never know, unless we can gain access to the builders plans!

@patthewoodboy 2 года назад

@@ADayintheUK I tried to look through it and you cant see anything. A leper squint faces the altar , this doesnt. They are much larger and more like a window. The old guy who informed me that it was for Holy water has been going to that church since he was a child (75 now). The lepers squint idea is now like an urban myth. Did you try and look through it ? if yes , what did you see .... nothing 🙂

@ADayintheUK 2 года назад

@@patthewoodboy I could see through it, bare in mind the glass wouldn’t have been there in the day…I’m open to both Jonathon, but since you’re so passionate about it, a historical confirmation via records would be excellent! Id love to see records either way…it would take deeper delving I’m sure. let me know what you find and I’ll gladly do a little video on Instagram confirming it once and for all. Good luck ;)
