I will be doing a video on Wells cathedral eventually, I haven't actually visited it since it's quite far away for me! But it's definitely on the list.
Thanks for the video. We are visiting from Oregon, USA, and visited Old Sarum two days ago. I've been interested in it for years now, and read some about it, and listened to the audiobook of "Sarum" by Edward Rutherford. Wonderful book, and apparently well-researched, but a work of fiction nonetheless. Could you point to some sources for the Roman seige and conquest of the Sarum hillfort? In the novel, it was surrendered by an ambitious young chieftain looking to ingratiate himself with the Romans, but that's just fiction. Was there a battle here, or did the Romans defeat the Celts in another place and then set up shop nearby? What is the evidence of Roman occupation there?
I couldn't show you references without reflecting back to my research papers I used to make this video, but I understand that there are plenty of research papers discussing the history of Sorviodunum which is the Roman settlement following the original iron age site of Old Sarum.
Yes well I just wasn't happy with the audio issues. I will probably, eventually, replace all my old videos with new updated ones which contain either the same information, or better information
