No-one who has visited Daresbury village can be unaware of its indivisible association with Lewis Carroll - famous English author, poet and mathematician.The nonsense poem JABBERWOCKY was required reading for Eng. Lit. when I was a student half a Century ago.
On a recent visit to the UK, I had occasion to re-visit the area.
The stained glass windows in the Eastern wall of the church bear numerous insets of scenes from Alice in Wonderland.
The semi-circular building to the side is the visitor centre.
A stop off for restauration at the Ring'O'Bells afterwards was, of course, obligatory. ;)
Ah, if only my English teacher would've known to hide poetry within drone video footage. Maybe then I would've become an acceptable scholar. I don't understand much, but the last verse is about camera drones - It talks about the gimbal. I think my gimbal was in the Wabe once too.

Yes! Gyre (oscopes) and Gimbals - he was a man 150 years ahead of his time
Thanks for your observations.

Loved the video.
Had to watch it twice . Once to read the poem and the second time to watch the video. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed both
The text was learned at school MANY years ago but always stuck in memory.
