Walks in England: In Search of a Gibbet 

These walks are so relaxing to watch. And I LOVE the history. Everything I want in one video! Thanks!

Love it when you do vids on old crimes and criminals.

I can just imagine the ghostly gibbet creaking on a lonely windswept day. Excellent video.

I love how he's so VISCERAL at the end! I like how he so sets the mood and the time so well too!

Really enjoy your little short films Richard, look forward to more.

Another very interesting walk!

Every morning before work I sit down with a coffee and watch your next instalment, love it, keep up the good work 👍🏻

love it, very educational... and love the fact that you reply to every of the comments, very humble🙏

Thoroughly enjoyed this Vlog thank you so much for sharing. I hadn’t realised. (Foolishly) that Gibbets were a thing that had been etched in our history and that we could still see where they had been. Absolutely fascinating. Your video came up on my feed so I’m looking forward as a new subscriber to catching up and following along. 😊

Another interesting story. Thanks for the walk! Beautiful country!

Nice little historical anecdote, Mr.Vobes. Justice was served, to such ne'erdowells, back in the day. I'd say, for more recent crimes against the citizenry, such penalties would be the very least to be served.

This was interesting Richard, near where I live is the stump of tree where men were hung outside the boundary of Pevensey, its always been known as the old hang mans tree. On the stump is carved the initials of the man who chopped it down in 1970.

Another fantastic and informative vid. We regularly mountain bike the APE, so beautiful and peaceful. Just shared this and we're going out this weekend to find it too.

Loved your video..... Very interesting and informative thank you

Very clear audio with all that wind. Nice job.👍

So pleased you found this. Of course Jack still haunts the area it is said.

Such a secure place England is!! If this empty place was in Bangladesh, you could not have taken even a walk. There would be drug addicts, village bad people, unemployed goons & also rapists

Thank you kind sir, very informative! 😄

Enjoyed it! This format has so much potential! Keep refining!

Thank you that looked like a interesting walk with a nice peace of local history it seems a shame in some ways that it wasn’t marked at the start of your ramble so people like myself who is always interested in walks with a bit of history behind them so much appreciated and to be honest I wasn’t sure what I was going to see at the end if anything so thank you for an entertaining 15 minutes :)

He was hung in 1771 what was left of him and the gibbet cage was taken down in 1774.

There's a gibbet marked on the map at the top of Long Furlong, near Findon village. There is also a Roman well nearby.

What a great video I can’t wait to see more of your history videos you need to upload even more. Great work keep it up :)

Took us a while to find that Gibbett about 9 years ago but a fascinating area to explore.

Must have been very windy on the day "Your Jack" was set upon his gibbet. Perhaps his lost soul was walking with you in remembrance with such a strong breeze.

Good morning Richard thanks for the video. Yes that's the Gibbit I ment and as I say I have looked for it on many occasions and have never found it. A very respected teacher took us there when we were at school so it has a bubble meaning really. Thank you very much for taking the time it much appreciated. Keith

I got here by chance and enjoyed the video so much that I subscribed, so much better than watching the crap on tv.

Just found this video. Many thanks Richard for this one. Was a resident of Arundel for many years and cycled past many times. Only ever found the marker once though. Must go back one day.

Great video

Thank you again Richard for a lovely walk.

Thanks for the walk today. Will share with the Uppertons in Australia

A fascinating story - sounds like that Jack was a desperate man!

Excellent story Richard . Thanks.

I really enjoyed this little tale and walk Richard. I've subscribed to your channel and look forward to more historic stories from you. 😊

Poor ALBERT hope he was found,😼

Enjoyed the video, thanks Richard

Another interesting video - thanks Richard

Enjoyed having a stroll with you and never knew about this story .Very interesting..

Loved this, Richard, thank you!

The wind is sooo scary .......

I enjoyed the story, thanks for sharing

Loved this many thanks russ what about coming to Bristol england we have got some history 👍👍👍👍

Well analyzed!!!

I'm subscribed have my notification bell on. I also liked this video

A great story well told

Nice.

Would make the would-be burglars of today think twice!! Another fantastic video💙

So sad ... the bad things that have happened to poor, desperate people,

I love when someone find something historic

There's a gibbet not far from me in Cambridgeshire, it's right outside a Mcdonald's! Caxton gibbet

The internet is the modern gibbet - everyone in the whole world can read about your crimes no matter how pettey, forever. A life sentence in fact.

That is well harsh

good video, very interesting!

Great stuff.

Good stuff man

Was the gibbet not hung on a tree?

If you like, I’ll make a Gibbet and cage. It may or may not have a political carcass in it.

Next time you go about looking for something...record the GPS coordinates on your phone. Then post it!

Most history we read only records the deeds of the "great and good". I personally love the histories that illuminate the daily lives of people who would be my peers in that time. Thank you for your videos!

13 minute video to see a Post in the ground... cool story bro

Why are roads that are not tarmacced called unmetalled roads ? Did roads used to be made of metal ?

well thats my plan put back i will go there and have a look for the gibbet

"How do we get back?" That's a fun sign off catch phrase.

Very interesting. I definitely will not attack my postman today. The neighbours would not be pleased seeing a dead body hanging from the lamppost across the street.

blow that Richard...(did you mean rogue perchance?), yours forever Captain Swing (never knowingly pink)...

Not a very bright lad was he...Jack Upperton! Should have kept feigning poverty.
