  • I’m surprised (but also grateful) that they didn’t mention that whole “evil spirits” thing associated with Bartmann Jugs. Putting urine and pins and hair and other mad stuff into one and after sealing it up, placing it under the threshold floorboards, or seal it into a wall cavity or something like that as a “method” for warding off all of the evil spirits and/or bad juju. 😂 Finding a fully intact jug is amazing and would have been so exciting for them. On the Thames foreshore people find fragments of Bartmann jugs. If they are lucky, they find a fragment containing the face of the bearded man. They are also called Bellarmine Jugs, named after Cardinal Bellarmine because they used his face. Anyway, it’s a fascinating history if you’ve not read about it before 🙂
  • This video is from 2010. That's 14 years ago! I can only imagine what's been discovered since 2010, in London. In 2004, I discovered "The Windmill Pub" off of Regent's Street in London.....they serve BEST FISH'N'CHIPS in the World! That's MY Discovery, in addition to my own Authentic Tudor DNA. I guess I, myself, am a Tudor Relic...of sorts.👵🤣

    My ears perked up when you mentioned Sir Thomas Gresham. That is my maiden name and Sir Thomas is my 10th great grandfather.

    It was the Kemptons of London, who were intimately connected with William Shakespeare. It was SIr Edward Kempton of the Black Boy upon Wallbrook, who made the stage costumes (and dress apparel) for Shakespeare (as Shakespeare records in his own diary notes). This same Sir Edward protected the last martyr under Queen Mary (Foxe's Book of Martyrs).
