So sad to see old graveyards neglected. Most kin are gone or too old to tend them. I would love to travel back in time when the church was useable and the church filled.
Wow!! I've NEVER seen a beehive shaped mausoleum before!! How ABSOLUTELY unique!! Thanks for taking us on yet another AMAZING ADVENTURE!! XXXX ❤👍💖🤗💞👏 Ps I hope Sue and all who are feeling poorly in your household are starting to feel better!! 🙏🙏💞🤗💖❤
I've travelled all over the world, and have been to Ireland several times. In my humble opinion there is no lovelier accent than the Irish brogue, I enjoy listening too him, too, lol. And... the second best accent is a southern drawl!
Fantastic work bringing these forgotten resting places back to life. Curiosity makes me imagine what this small church and graveyard would have looked like in its prime when it was tended by the parish who are now long gone. So peaceful.
Wow! This was beyond interesting. The back story, the overgrown cemetery, the bee hive! Just wow! And how very weird that the nurse is buried there, too. Thank you, sir, for hacking through that jungle to bring us this story.
I am from Louisiana US. I enjoy walking thru grave yards and cemetery. So your channel is just right for me! I have never seen a beehive shaped mausoleum! Thank you for sharing this fascinating video.
So interesting!! Glad the trust restored it. Church is historic and I hope they clean the area. Thanks GV💕. Congratulations on over 20k subs🎉 ( hope Sue is feeling better💕)
Loved seeing the old Graves very interesting and the Beehive must be one of a kind thanks for showing.would of loved to have seen inside of the church it looks Amazing.
@Grave Visitations, this is an interesting story indeed. We're you able to find any information about his wife? Thank you for taking us to such an enchanting and beautiful place. ❤
Oooh I'm now curious, probs too many detective shows, but I wonder if Mrs Kelly could've been his mother. When you mentioned he'd had children to staff it did make me wonder! Curiouser and curiouser! 🤔
Thank you for the interesting history and the tours of these beautiful cemeteries. These cemeteries are like a magic kingdom, everything is so beautiful, kind of scary, but the headstones and mausoleums are just amazing and beautiful to see. The Beehive mausoleum is just fantastic, I’ve never seen anything like that before. That’s so interesting that the nurse was buried with them, she lived longer than either of them. Thank you so much for this very. Interesting video, loved it ❤
Hi GV hope you are well this grave yard is so over grown but there is some lovely headstones wow that is amazing that 🐝 hive very interesting thanks so much for sharing lovely video GV take care 👍
Very interesting, GV. D8id you discover WHY the church was abandoned, and why there are no dwelkings in the immediate area. When i first saw the position of tge church, i thought it had been originally situated in a Plague Village, but the 1700+ build date would not bear that out. So, I'm stumped as to why the church and its cemetery are situated on their own, so far from houses. You be careful plodding about on wet grass and the like, GV, and the autumn leaves make grave hunting an racen trickier. Good grips on your shoe soles, and a firm grip on your arm by Serenity Sue, when the weather is too appalling to sally forth! 😅
I've seen a few churches and graveyards in the middle of fields in Ireland but they were by far worse for wear then this one, this one has better structure Angie.
There’s a church near me in Pennsylvania built during the civil war (mid 1800’s) with a spire like that. It has a huge lovely graveyard. And across the street is a brick walled graveyard full of revolutionary war veterans. It’s really neat!
Thanks for the hard yards you do through lank growth and brambles, often wet and clammy with hidden footfalls and decaying ironmongery to bark your shins. I respect the idea of reincarnation but I thought it supposed the eternal cycle of an immortal soul. So would a sole come back as a bee with its life expectancy of 2 months? "Hey Mildred! Don't swat that fly. It might be Aunt Agatha!"
Hello Cathal that was certainly awesome cemetery and the Cook Family Mausoleum love this video ❤❤❤ Thank you Cathal and Sue from West Bend Wisconsin 35 miles north of Milwaukee
Hey GV. I came across this little beauty when researching beehive structures around the UK a while back. The mausoleum was restored by a group called Follies Trust. The follies being "joyful little buildings that aim to please". They have a book out over there. I loved the church spire and overgrown building. Thanks for risking life and limb to get into those stones for us! Deb of Oz XXX
It’s comforting to know when you pass, you leave all the annoying obligations of the living, like taxes, laundry, shopping, politics, war, etc., behind. Of course I will miss my coffee! 😉
Absolutely amazing history of the Cooke & Reynell families, I was mesmerized while perched on the edge of my armchair taking in every word, you certainly know how to tell a yarn, such a beautiful graveyard even in it's dilapidated state, I can almost imagine how it would look & feel in the bleak of mid-winter or a misty autumn early morning, to be sure a wonderful place to rest in eternal peace. The beehive mausoleum is most certainly unusual alongside the 17th century design of the John de Baptiste church, riveting viewing and Thanks again for this fantastic explore, on to the next adventure👍👍👍
I really like you grave yard you are at, also I like the History too. I would really like to travel myself to all the places but I travel by watching you and really enjoy this very much and thank you. God bless you
I wanted to come and tell you that you are the best in talking about graves and their history of the past. When I come to look at your videos, its like I am listening to a story. Thank you kind sir.
Wow.❤️ it’s wonderful to know that there are some families that actually care about their ancestors, and the people that cared for them….just beautiful.
I just found this channel a few day ago and I am impressed with it. I love the old graveyards and the old tombstones. I've subscribed and definitely liked all the videos I've watched. I'm going to share with my oldest daughter. A big Thank You from the state of Texas. God bless ya'll.
Great Church❤️don't know why you would want to come back as a bee they don't live long. Maybe they plugged the hole cause bees were getting in🙂 Hope y"all get better soon❤️🙏❤️
as time goes on ; they will be digging around these sights like ancient egypt; we wont be here; its very strange; me being morbidly curious since childhood about death tombs etc; and now at 65 the very visceral sensation that that is to be my new home soon for the rest of time and how many generations we walk on that are dust; we are here for a brief instant ( im hope theres something nice after ) ; beckett says in ' waiting for godot " the light gleams for an instant and then its night once more "
Very grand video. The bee hive is unique. They lived a long time. The old church from 1700s i never saw a spire still in such good shape. You walked through a lot to bring us this video....thank you i really enjoyed the story. God bless❤😊❤😊
Looks like walking through a real thicket! And I'm glad that a bee didn't buzz by near the microphone as you walked by the hive! That would have been scary!
Wow! I’ve never seen anything like that! It’s so wonderful that at least the mausoleum was tended to. It’s definitely worthy of a little care. Maybe trending the whole graveyard is currently to much.
