Thanks for watching, everyone. I’ve been messing around with some microphone settings, and talking in a more natural cadence, so I apologise if this sounds like a bass-boosted ASMR or something, but hopefully it sounds better than the last videos.<br><br>Also, unfortunately almost none of the churches featured have any photos... except for Eglwys Ederyn. They appear to be copyrighted though, so while I couldn't include them in the video, you can see a picture of the excavation of the cemetery here: <a href="https://coflein.gov.uk/en/site/43589/images?term=Eglwys%20Edern">https://coflein.gov.uk/en/site/43589/images?term=Eglwys%20Edern</a><br><br>Diolch!

As a French-Canadian from southern Ontario, I’m not sure why the history of lost churches and chapels in Wales from the 16th century is so profoundly important to me but I’m glad it is

"I encountered one of my favourite things: a giant list from a long time ago" bro this is the most relatable thing a Youtuber has ever said. All I want to do is to go through books to find giant lists from a long time ago

I love that my favorite YouTube channel is ran by a Welsh lovecraftian deity that teaches me about Welsh history, locations, people and existential dread

There is something particularly emotional about these small finds. When you hear the names of these small churches now wiped away by later generations, its a very unique feeling. To be proud an pleased to have caught a piece of history just before its vanished, sad to realise just how much has been lost to time and the odd and eerie sensation of being some of the few people to remember that whole communities of people even existed. And on top of it all a reminder of how easy it is to collectively forget or ignore history. All these churches, representing thousands of people, thousands of lives, now nothing more than an obscure name on a map. Suffice to say that people like Cambrian Chronicles are invaluable and always underappreciated.

This is, by far, the best “lost media” channel on this platform.
