Details Paint a Bigger Picture of a Little Cotswold Church

Buried in the Cotswold region of west England is the pristine village of Stanton, with what appears to be just another little medieval church. But, by knowing what to look at, you’ll see deeper. Follow me on an exercise that includes psychoanalyzing the patron saint (St. Michael, a giveaway that the church was built upon a pagan holy ground) to feeling the grooves worn into pews by sheepdog leashes centuries ago.

  1. Beautiful commentary by Rick……..appreciate the reverence
    he has for his visits to these amazing places.

  2. Being from Fairford in the Cotswolds, I was pleased to see a local church being mentioned on your show. I was upset though that you never visited Saint Mary’s Church in my home town of Fairford. It has the only full set of original stained glass windows in the country. During the second world war they were buried in a farmers field for safety. It would be lovely if this had been visited. I am now living state side since 2001 and I enjoy watching your trips around areas and countries I grew up visiting as a child. Thanks for allowing my three children see what I did growing up.
