Pretty English Village - Autumn WALK || Asthall Village in the Windrush Valley

Asthall has a rich history of former Roman settlement. Several later-Mesolithic and numerous Neolithic artefacts have been found in Asthall, some within areas that were woodland until 1862 The Church of England parish church of Saint Nicholas was enlarged in about 1160 and restored in 1885 Most domestic buildings in the parish are of coursed limestone rubble with stone-slated roofs, though many were originally thatched Asthall village was also the birthplace and long time home of the actor Bob Arnold, famous as Tom Forrest in the BBC radio series ’The Archers’ In the summer of 2007 a hoard of 110 gold angel and half-angel coins was found during building work at Asthall. The coins were minted at dates from 1470 to 1526, most of them in the brief second reign of Henry VI. 🥾 ABOUT MY CHANNEL: *========================================* Join me on soothing and peaceful walks through quaint English villages and towns as I explore the English Countryside.
