Join me as I visit the grave of Winston Churchill and accidentally end up at a posh horse racing event after going to find out where all the noise was coming from.
What an interesting church. The stained glass window that honors Churchill is awesome. If it wasn’t for your channel I would never knew that existed. Thanks for sharing.
The world would have been a different place without this man? Think about it? He gave everyone hope and strenght to fight the evils in the world. One man or woman CAN change the world for the better God Bless Sir Winston Churchill Great videos thanks so much
👩💻"Cometh the hour, cometh the man." Winston Churchill was the man of the hour to hold on until the Americans entered the war. Churchill believed in his destiny and did his very best all his life to fulfill that duty. Queen Elizabeth was very fortunate to have Winston Churchill not only once but twice as Prime Minister. 🙋♀️😘😳🤗🥰🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇦
I went to England over 49 years ago to see where my ancestors came from. I was amazed at the simple black stone on Sir Winston Churchills grave. Simple, elegant for such a powerful historically important man and family! Lovely and peaceful place.
I loved this walk today. Can’t believe how old those grave markers are and so detailed. ✌🏻 he was an incredible man before his time. Great inspiration was Winston. What an unusual name Marigold, pretty.
Great Video and a stunning Church. As a Young Man I had a job making deliveries and I delivered some goods to the home in Kensington where Churchill passed away. The Housekeeper back then kindly gave us some refreshments and a brief history of the house. I also spent 3 years living in Edenbridge which is close by to Chartwell where I also paid a visit to as part of a gardening course I completed. Keep up the good work as for myself it’s an education!
👩💻Your grave walk shows are "stunning." I am so impressed by the beauty of these headstones and must have cost a fortune. I am laying plans to be buried in a pioneer graveyard here where I grew up and live in Utah. I grew up visiting this beautiful resting place where my grandparents and family were laid to rest. In this cemetery, I can have a stone that stands up like the ones you show. Other graveyards around require a flat stone so the lawn can be cut. The cemetery I will be in is natural, up on a hill. When I can look out, I can see the whole of the Great Salt Lake Valley, with native species of fawn and flora all about. There is always a nice cool breeze blowing, and I love the personal character of all the stones and the story they tell. 🙋♀️😘😳🤗🥰🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇦
As an equestrian, I'm really chuckling at you stumbling across Blenheim horse trials😅 Loved the video, something nice about a man with such a chaotic and busy life being laid to rest in such a quiet nook.
The tragic story about little Marigold saddened me, so I did some reasearch on my own, that might interest you or your viewers. The little one was the fourth child and the third daughter of the couple. When their parents were absent for some time, she was with a nurse who tended to her. But when Marigold developed a kind of cold, the lady hesitated to inform her parents, so the illness worsened and led to a resultant blood infection that attacked her immune system. She was too small and too young to resist the illness and died some weeks before her third birthday. Her parents came as quickly as possible, but she died nevertheless. When the family plot on Bladen churchyard was built, the remains of Marigold were exhumed in 2019 and reunited with her family. The former, now empty grave and the cross on Kensal Green remain there as you showed us.
@@deadgoodwalks Maybe to remember visitors that she had been here on earth in the first place, though for a very short period of time. Before I watched this video, I dinn't know anything about Mr.Churchills private life. And well, the little one deserves to be remembered.
What amazing masonry went in to the headstones, pure genius. It must have been heartbreakingly sad that Marigold past away at two years old bless her beautiful heart.
Not many people from Poland have the same opinion as me, but I'm from Poland, I learnd history and I know that Churchill stoped Hitler. Of course whole Europe and US had a part in it, but without Churchill, nobody knows....Thank you Sir.
I have no doubt that, had Lord Halifax been made Prime Minister in 1940, Britain would have come to an agreement with the third reich. Resulting in the toppling of the monarchy, in favour of the pro nazi and treacherous Edward VIII who would have been a puppet. As Churchill himself said, the world would have slipped into a new dark age.
One of the Greatest Britain’s that ever lived. IMO anyway. I’ve visited his family home quite often at chartwell. Well worth a visit if you’re down this way.
@@deadgoodwalks thank you so much! Appreciate you watching. I recently uploaded a video of my daily life as a cemetery caretaker. That was a fun video to do for everyone.
according to Groucho Marx, Churchill had a game at society gatherings, parties, and home parties with one of his daughters. the game was about who could keep the ashes on their cigars the longest and the goal was to have the longest ash tip possible without it falling off. I have been playing this game for ten years now with my nephew at the annual family BBQ and other gatherings and it involves alcohol just as it did in Churchill's times playing these games with his daughter, his daughter was an adult these events weren't dry and Churchill wasn't either! if you smoke and you are near 50 like me try it with a close family member who's young but also smokes it's really great fun under the summer night sky near a fire or decaying BBQ I even did it during Christmas and new-years eve partying so, have fun!
New to your channel and I love it! It’s all so very amazing. Had to chuckle a bit though. The one Spencer Churchill grave you read the death date as 1792, when it was 1972 🤭
The two child graves at 10:10 are also from the Spencer Churchill family. These are two brothers, they are Lord Charles Ashley Spencer Churchill (1856-1858), and Lord Augustus Robert Spencer Churchill (1858-1859). They are two of the sons of John Winston Spencer Churchill, 7th Duke of Marlborough and Lady Frances Anne Emily Vane
Trivia... Winston ChurchHill was a Spencer by Blood and Origin... his great Grandfather was from the Noble House of Spencer but change his last name to ChurchHill when they split the house and he inherit the Dukedom. The Noble House of Spencer-ChurchHill and the Noble House ChurchHills are the two Branch Family of the Noble House of Spencer. He is a relative of the late Princess Diana... the Spencers are pure English that makes them more Noble than the Royal Family who has a strong German blood....
@@hassyg4083yup her mother was an american who had an affair with King Edward VII. The Spencers has a pure English male direct line of from the 1st Earl Spencer to the present 9th Earl of Spencer (Princess Diana's Brother) and the Spencer-Churchill and the Churchill Branch Family of today ... The the Royal Family has German Hanoverian Monarchy that sit on the the Brittish Throne (Georgian Era) and Queen Victoria was last from that house. Queen Victoria's husband Albert was a Prince from a Saxxe-Coburg and Gotha a small duchy in Germany. Queen Elizabeth II original house was Saxxe-Coburg and Gotha and was change to Winsor by her Grandfather King Geoge V because of the anti Germans sentiment in WWI. Prince Philip mother Princess Alice was Queen Victoria's granddaughter... Do you see why they want a Spencer's lady to be Charles wife... ayown haba kwento...
At 10:50, Anna Robertson (nee Piccaver) who died in 1894, she was the 1st wife of Henry Robertson. She was born in Lincolnshire. Henry Robertson was the gamekeeper for the Duke of Marlborough and lived in Lince Lodge, Blenheim Park. He was born in Scotland. Jessie Robertson (nee Floyd), his 2nd wife, he married in 1895, she was a widow and was born in Wendover, Bucks. Henry died in 1916 and is also buried there but his name isn't recorded on the headstone.
another macabre but somehow serenely nice video, thank you I wonder if you ever consider doing Kensal green cemetery in West London, that'd be like a line up of royal gala performance show of the yesteryears.
Sarah's most famous role was dancer Anne Ashmond in the film "Royal Wedding" (1951). The character was a co-protagonist, and served as a love interest to character Tom Bowen (played by Fred Astaire).
I just subscribed I find old churches and cemeteries fascinating, they hold a lot of history and art. I live in Michigan USA small town and lots of old cemeteries some that have made Ghost Hunting show. In the small town I grew up in had a potter’s field/Spanish Flu. Next to that was a big Victorian house, owner come and go with a big land patch. The now owns sell the land ok by city for building of new expensive condos lol. Cemetery in backyard home sitting on potter’s cemetery. I’ll live next to a cemetery but not on top of one lol. 🇺🇸
@@deadgoodwalks they returned to the earth before any building the condos are only a few years old. Our County has listings for all cemeteries active, abandoned, moved and historical. And the most haunted cemeteries too have about 3 of them by me lol. October is a big month for cemeteries have lantern walks no flashlights at some but all charge a fee. 🇺🇸
Wonderful video, Churchill was far from perfect, but he came through during war 2, the right man at the right time, he brought the country together,I loved his indomitable character and his Wonderful speeches,this is what I choose to remember, not the bad things about him!!!!!😑🇬🇧
One of the reasons why Churchill was so special to both British and Americans is that one could say that he was half American as his mother was an American heiress. For a period of time there were a lot of marriages between English aristocracy, who needed money, and American heiresses, who had plenty of it. Hopefully there was love with at least some of these, as one could say they were mutually beneficial (money for him, title for her). And that is the short version of how a Vanderbilt came to be buried there.
My Great Grandmother Mary Spencer Williamson born in 1852, was Diana's 3 or 4 times removed Great Aunt. I had known that Winston Churchhill was related, by his and my Chin the same. Thank you for tying in how exactly we were related. Her son, my Grandfather came over to North America in 1904; from Edinburgh, Scotland. Enjoy your day, and thanks for sharing.
@@deadgoodwalks Sir, I was wondering in your walking through London and British Cemeteries, did you ever come across Walter Hayes's Grave? He was the CEO of Aston Martin, and publicist for Ford Motor Company. He was the man responsible for supplying James Bonds Cars for the movie. Walter Hayes was a friend of mine, and a Great - Great Nephew to my Great Grandfather. I had given a name of a London Cemetery on Find A Grave I did for him, was told he wasn't buried there. He died of Lung cancer in 2000, December. If you ever find his grave, will you please do a video on him. Thank you Sir, for your time.
So I'm also related to Winston Churchill , and my third great Grandmother is also related to Prince Philip! I live in the United States, but I have always known that England is my Mother country! All of my family has ties to England 🇬🇧💜🙏🏻❗🇬🇧💜🇺🇲 It's been very interesting learning all of this in my genealogy!
The Churchill family surprised everybody when they said he was being buried at Bladon in Oxfordshire The village is on the main road between Woodstock and Witney
Thank you for sharing loved the walk today.cant wait till you can do the queens grave if it's allowed.but are the Churchill cremated? There's sure a lot in a small place.
At 11:36, Victor George Spencer aka The Lord Churchill, or 3rd Viscount Churchill, as he had no heirs, on his death, his viscountancy title (Viscount Churchill) became extinct.
Out of curiosity, have you visited Scarborough? There's a beautiful Victorian Cemetery which runs down to the edge of Peasholm Park. Definitely worth visiting it's huge.
@@deadgoodwalks that's ashame, so many beautiful headstones so much history. Especially with some people from the Titanic being laid to rest there. Manor Road area of the cemetery especially.
My condolences on the loss of your queen ! I seriously thought she might live forever at least outlive Charles ! I'm waiting for William i kinda of like the name king William i don't know why 😁
Lady Mary Soames, the youngest daughter of Winston Churchill, married Conservative party politician Christopher Soames who became Lord Soames, in 1947. Lord Soames was the last Governor of Rhodesia from 1979 to 1980, and as Governor he was charged with administering the terms of the Lancaster House Agreement and overseeing the transition of Rhodesia into Zimbabwe.
was'nt Churchill born in the United States and move back as a young child? He was also hit by a car in the USA, walking or driving on the wrong side I think?
So was there background noise almost like a loud speaker or game going on in the background while you were outside? I hear voices talking like a game or something.
No … Those were the tortured voices of the spirits of the cemetery’s dead and immortal damned, whose purgatorial punishment for all eternity is to cock up the audio on travel vlogs filmed among their graves. The only way to ease their endless pain and suffering is through human sacrifice of a young innocent who’s bothered enough about the racket they’re making to comment about it on RU-vid. Will you volunteer?
Not being critical here. Here in america when they are trying to read tombstones are old. They use a flashlight. Hold it sideways up next to the words. And they can read them very well. 3 or four people go round two old cemeteries and read. then read names of people. When I watch a lot of his Side Step Adventures. We learned a great deal of history by reading the tombstones. They give a lot of information.
I like the video but as i,m watching with my headphone i ear background voices is it part of the video or is it spirits talking cant make out what their saying but from 2:42 till 2:55 and just before 2:55 its gets louder as he starts to speak.Or am i earring things :)
This isn't horse racing. It's eventing. Also known as Horse Trials or the original name, The Military. Three Events....Dressage, Cross country and basic show jumping.
@@jackreilly4417 Churchill's legacy is much more complicated. One thing is for sure, he was responsible for the destruction of the British Empire and the mess we are in today.
@@flaminghellPrime minister of UK is clown called Rishi Sunak and major of London is Sadiq Khan (another clown). True Brits . And you think you aren't in any mess? 🤣🤣🤣
