Welcome to The Past Finders!

We stumble upon an abandoned village along the Lorna Doone valley trail in Exmoor. It's hard to make out the earthworks but you can just about see the outline of some structures in amongst the mounds. We shall return in the summer months for a full investigation! #history #english #ancient #mystery #nature #abandoned #strange #england #scenery #walking #medieval

Scott finds an abandoned church in Slebech, Pembrokeshire. St John the Baptist's Church has been in ruins for many years due to subsidence. Local legend says that the architect designed the church with the altar facing the wrong way and he subsequently hung himself in the bell tower. The whole site is derelict but the character of the place is still evident to see. Scott spotted this place on his travels and did not have much time to fully explore but it looks like a fascinating place. There is a crypt, ornate gargoyles and a spooky boot! We hope you enjoy this walkabout and join us again for more stories and places... from the past! #history #mystery #wales #welsh #spooky #church #ancient #abandoned #derelict #haunted #stories #legend

The team discover a small tin church in Edithmead, Somerset. The church has some interesting history and started life as a school in the nearby village of East Brent in the early 1900s. It became a Mission Church after the First World War and has been in its current location ever since. It still has regular services and is looked after by the local community. What a cool, rare find! #church #english #history #ww1 #england #mystery #building #somerset #rare #strange

The team explore St Margaret's Church in the ancient village of Spaxton. A picturesque spot in the shadows of the Quantock Hills in Somerset. We find stories of wild sermons, an ancient Danish settler and a peaceful sanctuary for the sanity of all mankind. If you are a fan of heritage crafts, this place has some of the finest wood carvings in all the land. Join us as we take a walk through this delightful place and rest thine weary legs n' eyes.

We have been called in to investigate a historic boardwalk in Berrow which we think has been smashed up by 'The Order' in a bid to stop people walking around the place. Who is responsible? Who you gonna call?! #history #vandals #mystery #english

Scott and Phil stop off in the picturesque village of Moorlinch, where the Somerset Levels meet the Polden Hills to explore its church where they find some interesting artifacts! Again, these ancient buildings are dotted all around us and the stories that the walls can tell are fascinating. This is Scott's first edit and we hope you enjoy this 'walkabout' style offering from our local surroundings. We are also joined by Jane and the Jack Russell... but not on camera! The church is expecting some visitors from the USA and Jane explains why... #history #ancient #church #english #england #mystery #america #faith #organ #monument

We stop off at Kilve beach in Somerset where the cliffs are literally falling on to the beach as we walk along it. This is exposing untouched fossils but it is a worrying sight. We'll be heading back here later in the year to do a full episode and to see if there's any cliffs left! #history #ancient #nature #landscape #collapse #fossils #english #england #earth #geology #wow #somerset

We spot an odd church atop the Mendip Hills at Charterhouse. What is even stranger is the lack of graves. What is that about?! Spooky! #history #ancient #mystery #english #somerset #death #strange #weird
