Greensand Way - Arriving in Westcott in Surrey

This is the third part of the recent walking video exploring The Greensand Way that cuts through Surrey where we started at Wotton Church.

These walks are part of a longer series in which Matthew Holdsworth and I explore the belt of greensand across Surrey and Kent.

Another good one, Richard and Matthew.

I like how most of the time you have different people to come and walk !

[kennethgoodman]

I’m enjoying the Greensand way with yourself and Marhew who I must say is very knowledgable.

[LynnB_Ky]

Interesting church, such a shame you couldn’t film inside. Lovely walk here. Matthew is very knowledgeable

[jmeyerrn]

Great video Mr Vobes. I’m thoroughly enjoying this series. Walk on and explore more!!!! Beautiful stuff. Too bad about the church interior.

[georgetimperley]

Well done great video, I think it is called the green sand way because it is sandy and the trees and plants make It green.

[timspooner]

Given how many church people have invited you inside in other videos, it is surprising to find one that does not want you there.

fabulous.really looking forward to more with matthew…..bit of a shame you couldn't film inside the church.but really nice walk all the same.

[annmanson]

The sand quart at Westcott was used in glass making.

[DavidB]

I think the Greensand area gets its name from a type of sand that really does have a greenish tinge, due to some chemical in it, but a lot of the sand in the area does not look green at all.

Damn & Blast, the self annointted take over again,

[danielsedgwick]

Lovely video, I cannot imagine why someone would stop you videoing in a Church. (Unless there was an event in the church)

[MrGreatplum]

Good fun - a shame we couldn’t film in the church but your viewers were saved from a theological discussion about the differences between high church and low church!

[spitfirekev]

Thats very sad, ive never heard of a permit to film in a church. Not one church ive filmed at have ever heard of it.

[lindakane]

Interesting video but the start with the ubiquitous sound of the chainsaw made me shudder. Shame you couldn't film in the church, maybe if you'd said you wanted to pray 🙏 😉

For some reason I always get a tickle out you showing the Green Sand Way. I have seen green sand in my garden books for the use of ammending soil (apparently it has special nutrients in it). I guess they have to harvest it ftom some where, I just never really thought about.

I thought the church was quite beautiful too. Never understood why diff places would build w/ sandstone (or chalk like in some of your other vids). Of coarse its going to crumble!🤔 The only reason I could think they wouldn't want you to film the inside would be cause of possible theft. It only takes the wrong person to see what they might have to go & kick the doors in in the middle of the night & clean them out.
