???????? STAFFORD, ENGLAND: 1693 English Country Estate ✈️ ???????? | TRAVEL VLOG #0035
Stafford, ENGLAND: 1693 English Country Estate | TRAVEL VLOG
This old English country estate, dating from 1693, was fascinating to explore. Shugborough Estate is one of the few surviving estates that remains fully intact. It covers over 100 acres, including a working farm, old barnyard, mansion, servants quarters and kitchen, as well as several buildings, statues, bridges, and gardens. I spent a lovely afternoon exploring the grounds while recently in Stafford, England.

A visit to Shugborough Hall, near Stafford
Shugborough is a country estate in Great Haywood, Staffordshire, England, 4 miles from Stafford on the edge of Cannock Chase. It comprises a country house, kitchen garden, and model farm. Owned by the National Trust and maintained by the leaseholder, Staffordshire County Council, it previously belonged to the Earls of Lichfield, the Anson family.
Curiosities of Staffordshire- Short Street
Today we visit Short Street in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, a hidden time capsule of the city's industrial past. The area is now preserved and the flint kilns can only be accessed by permission of Gladstone Pottery Museum but the Street itself is still open to the public and the workers cottages, though boarded up, are still worth a look. The site is also reputed as one of the most haunted in Staffordshire but we didn't see any ghosts today :)

Curiosities of Staffordshire- Essex Bridge
This time on Curiosities of Staffordshire we visit the Essex Bridge in the town of Great Haywood, Staffordshire. Originally spanning some 40 arches, Essex Bridge was, and still is, one of the longest packhorse bridges in Britain, though now only 14 arches still stand. The bridge is a scheduled ancient monument and is one of the best examples of a medieval packhorse bridge in the country.

A Trip To Lud's Church, Staffordshire, England. July, 2015.
Lud's Church (sometimes written as Ludchurch) is a deep chasm penetrating the Millstone Grit bedrock created by a massive landslip on the hillside above Gradbach, Staffordshire, England. It is located in a wood known as Back Forest, in the White Peak, towards the southwest fringe of the Peak District National Park about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) west of the A53 between Leek and Buxton. Over 100 metres (328.1 ft) long and 18 metres (59.1 ft) deep, it is mossy and overgrown, wet and cool even on the hottest of days.
The area has a place in Christian history: the Lollards, who were followers of John Wycliffe, an early church reformer, are supposed to have used this as a secret place of worship during the early 15th century, when they were being persecuted for their religious beliefs.[1] Lud's Church may have been named after Walter de Ludank or Walter de Lud-Auk who was captured here at one of their meetings.[1][2] A wooden ship's figurehead from the ship Swythamley formerly stood in a high niche above the chasm, placed there by Philip Brocklehurst, then the landowner, around 1862. It was called 'Lady Lud' and was supposed to commemorate the death of the daughter of a Lollard preacher.[2][3]
A number of climbing routes up the sides of the chasm were pioneered during the 20th century but climbing is now discouraged so as to protect the lower plants that have colonised the damp rock-faces.

Shugborough Inscription | Unsolved Mysteries | Arcadian Shepherds | uncracked cipher texts
Shugborough inscription
Look from afar at the 18th-century Shepherd's Monument in Staffordshire, England, and you might take it as nothing more than a sculpted re-creation of Nicolas Poussin's famous painting, “Arcadian Shepherds.” Look closer, though, and you'll notice a curious sequence of letters: D O U O S V A V V M — a code that has eluded decipherment for over 250 years. . It has never been satisfactorily explained, and has been called one of the world's top uncracked ciphertexts, The inscription became widely known after being mentioned in the 1982 book The Holy Blood and the Holy Grailby Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln.
Though the identity of the code carver remains a mystery, some have speculated that the code could be a clue left behind by the Knights Templar about the whereabouts of the Holy Grail.
Many of the world's greatest minds have tried to crack the code and failed, including Charles Dickens and Charles Darwin.
The monument was built sometime between 1748 and 1763, commissioned by Thomas Anson, paid for by his brother, Admiral George Anson, and fashioned by the Flemish sculptor Peter Scheemakers. The relief copy of the Poussin painting is contained within a rustic arch, and shows a woman and three shepherds, two of whom are pointing to a tomb. On the tomb is carved theLatin text Et in arcadia ego (I am also in Arcadia or I am, even in Arcadia). The carving displays a number of small alterations from the original painting, and an extra sarcophagus has been placed on top of the main tomb. Above the Poussin scene are two stone heads, one showing a smiling bald-headed man, the other bearing a likeness to the goat-horned Greek god Pan.
Below the relief carving on the monument, an unknown craftsman carved the mysterious eight letters, contained within the letters 'D M'. On Roman tombs, the letters 'D M' commonly stood for Dis Manibus, meaning dedicated to the shades.
• One suggestion is that the eight letters are a coded dedication by George Anson to his deceased wife. In 1951 Morchard Bishop speculated that the letters might be an acronym for the Latin phrase Optimae Uxoris Optimae Sororis Viduus Amantissimus Vovit Virtutibus (Best of wives, Best of sisters, a most devoted Widower dedicates (this) to your virtues).
• Steve Regimbal interprets the letters as standing for a new Latin translation of the phrase Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity. (Ecclesiastes 12:8), namely Orator Ut Omnia Sunt Vanitas Ait Vanitas Vanitatum. He has speculated that the phrase may be the source of the earlier inscription OMNIA VANITAS which may have been carved on an alcove at the estate of one of Thomas Anson's associates, George Lyttleton.
• Former NSA linguist Keith Massey interprets the letters as an acronym for the Latin phrase Oro Ut Omnes Sequantur Viam Ad Veram Vitam (I pray that all may follow the Way to True Life) in reference to the Biblical verse John 14:6, Ego sum Via et Veritas et Vita (I am the Way, the Truth and the Life).
• Margaret, Countess of Lichfield has claimed that the inscription was a love message, referring to the lines Out Your Own Sweet Vale, Alicia, Vanishes Vanity. Twixt Deity and Man Thou, Shepherdess, The Way, but no source for these words has ever been traced.
• A. J. Morton observes that some of the letters match the names of the residents of Shugborough in the early 19th century, and believes that the inscription denotes the words Orgreave United with Overley and Shugborough, Viscount Anson Venables Vernon.
Speculation then grew that the inscription may encode secrets related to the Priory of Sion, or the location of the Holy Grail. As part of the Shugborough promotion, some individuals who had previously worked as codebreakers at Bletchley Park pursued this line of investigation. Oliver Lawn proposed that the letters may encode the phrase Jesus H Defy, where the H supposedly stands for Christos (Greek for Messiah) and the reference is to a Jesus bloodline which allegedly descends from a non-divine Jesus
