Originally published as an exclusive for my Patreon community (Patreon.com/BritishHistory) this is a 'live walkaround' of a place called Deerhurst which, incredibly, has TWO surviving Saxon Chapels.
St Mary's first appears in records in the early 800's but could have been established in the 700's. It was the priory church of Deerhurst Priory with some incredible surviving features from its early history.
Odda's Chapel was forgotten about for centuries, absorbed into a house built in Tudor times and rediscovered in the 19th century!
We take a look inside both, sited within a few hundred meters of each other!

This was recorded back before I could afford a roving mic but the support of viewers of my channel and members of my Patreon means I now have great mics and am less at the will of the weather! So, please be patient during this video when the wind noise is up temporarily.
