How blessed we were as children to sing these timeless hymns at school and church.  Now, in old age they are a joy and support.  Thank you, Ben ❤.

There is something very special when you are filming all alone in those storied old churches. 🙏

I cannot adequately express to you how grateful I am to you for the comfort you prepared & delivered in this and so many of your other episodes you prepared & provided all of your viewers/listenets .  
This 68-year-old Upper Canadian Anglican whose church no longer provides such feelings of home greatly appreciates & is comforted by your work.  

You ended this episode with what, I humbly submit, is one of the greatest of all works ever composed and arranged in the canon on English, Scots, Irish & Welsh music ever composed.  And that includes Be Thou My Vision and a great many other ancient works.

Please stay well & safe,

Your music & interpretation are those that comforted those who lost family members whose family members were among The Fallen of The Great War and WWII, and other conflicts during which They Fell.

For us, thank you so very much!
God bless & preserve you.

A  New Zealander who has enjoyed Vaughan Williams for 75 years. What a wonderful companion it has been in that time.👏👏👍👍

For All the Saints!  Who can not love this hymn, and the majestic way you honored it with your performance of it...   Hallelujah!

Another day dawns and I am sitting in my little flat overlooking the sea listening to your wonderful hymn playing. What joy you bring to my life every day with your great talent. Thank you is not enough ❤

I love your music. I'm a retired United Methodist pastor.
I can't wait till Sunday to hear music and the history.  
Thank you for making my Sunday a treasure.

Thank you for a beautiful tribute to a great composer who blessed the church with powerful music.

Ben.... You may have topped yourself in emotional presentations.  This was very, very special.   You're not alone in succumbing to spontaneous tears.  I really appreciate your integration of church and national history with music.  It has always been special to me how English hymn tunes are so often named for places of particular emotional significance.  Thanks again and always.

As an American Anglophile I have long been a person who loves Vaughn Williams. THANK YOU for this video 😊.

Come down, O Love Divine played on a Walker organ in Down Ampney is such a fitting memory to Vaughan Williams.  At Evensong this afternoon in Wells Cathedral, I thanked God for the great pleasure the Salisbury Organist has given us all with hymns and organ music, almost reducing his many subscribers to tears.

I will always remember walking into my kitchen and RVW Lark Ascending was playing on the radio, I had never heard the piece before, as I was absolutely captivated with the music, an image instantly come to my mind of a bird flying, when it finished and the radio presenter named the piece of music I couldn’t believe how absolutely right RVW had got it . I have loved his music ever since. Telling this to a work colleague, they said, “ everyone seems to remember where or when they first heard this absolutely beautiful piece of music “ and it is so true. Thank you for your brilliant channel, peace and love everyone ❤

Half hour of beauty and peace. My Sunday is complete. Thank you! May the Lord bless you.

So pleased to see a Church with its lovely pews intact and not ruthlessly ripped out , like  so many now. Wonderful presentation. Thankyou .

We were certainly blessed and privileged to know and sing praises to God through the beautiful hymns we loved. Thank you Ben.

What's so lovely is that you have made this music come alive even for those who do not attend church.....

It finally clicked how much I enjoy the fact that the tours you share with us are quiet, without a congregation or public event. The solitude makes them magical. I loved the tour, loved the beautiful modern stained glass, loved the hymns -- I love Vaughan Williams in general. The first time I heard "Lark Ascending" I burst into tears. Fabulous.

That little organ has a pretty full sound.

If you were an old geezer (like I am), your videos would be much less enjoyable.  Because you are so young, I feel this wave of hope when I watch you, hope that even in an age of AI and beyond, there will be musicians playing hymns on old organs.  Thanks.

I cried at ‘For All the Saints’, it reminded me of my mother who passed away in 1977!
