Allan Barton - The Antiquary
Hello my name is Dr Allan Barton and welcome to my channel. This is a channel for those who are fascinated like me in history and particularly the material artifacts that past generations have left behind. Those who love historic buildings and objects for their own sake because their feel, their form, their beauty, even at times their smell, satisfies and delights. So, if you like history, art, architecture and have a love for the arcane and obscure aspects of our past you are sure to enjoy what you see here. Thanks for watching.
