@GraveVisitations That's precisely why I like to help! You can get to locations i would never be able to and video places I could never see. It's the least I can do 😀

Hello from Temple Terrace Florida. USA 🇺🇸. Born in Williamsburg Brooklyn New York 🗽 City. Beautiful old we kept cemetery. Thank you friend for sharing. Hi to Sue. Blessings. Amen 🙏 🇺🇸🇵🇷🙏🇺🇸🇵🇷🙏. All Rip Amen 🙏
This was an exquisite beautiful old cemetary. I love the church, the arch doors and windows are built that way to add strength which keeps them from falling and standing for hundreds of years. I only know because my late husband taught me. Incredible how the 1700's can still be read so well and glad to see the cemetary well taken care of. Never saw anything so grand as that morte grave. Wow😮 thanx GV. It's raining here in Tennessee....Great way to start my day.❤😊❤😊
Good evening, GV and Sue.Fantastic ! that so many of these ancient grave stones have lasted so long. So sad to have to worry about somebody you love being stolen. It sure is a large morte safe. Very beautiful and the cows make it a peaceful but not lonely place. Thank you so much.❤
I love all those old gravestones, GV!! Every time I read older stones, I often wonder about what the people that are buried there were like when they were alive!! SOOOOOO INTERESTING!! 💙💞🤗💕👍❤👏 Those cow wanted their 5 minutes of fame, Cathal!! XXXX 🤣🤣🤣🤣🐄🐄
Those cows sound like they are in labor! Lovely cemetery. That is probably the nicest mort-safe I have ever seen! I like those tiny trails around the cemetery too! ♥️☘️🇮🇪
Wow - now that's a mort safe! Mind boggling to think that it has stood for almost 200 years. What stories that family could tell. Such a beautiful cemetery too, thank you so much GV for sharing it with us xx Teresa 🇦🇺🤍
Thanks to you and sue visiting these graveyards and cemeteries we can just sit back and learn about the people of Ireland that lived years ago.Such a large and magnificent morte safe,sad that the grave requires such protection.May they all R.I.P.Nice to see the cemetery maintained,safe travels mate till next time,🙏🙏👋👋👍🇦🇺
I saw some very tall iron fenced graves in Dungiven Priory and Old Aghanloo graveyard (near Dungiven and Limavady, respectively, Co. Londonderry) in July. They were both so overgrown that it was difficult to say for certain, but sure looks like much the same structure. Both also had old derelict medieval churches like in this video.
That mortsafe was amazing. I never knew they made them that large. It must have been made to encompass the entire mausoleum so anyone buried there was safe. Such a wonderful graveyard also. Wouldn't you love to see that magnificent church when it was whole? Thank you for showing us around. I love to see the names of people who are buried in all the cemeteries you and Sue go to.
One thing is for sure...and I'm sure all will agree, the amount of heartache , loss, and sorrow is not reflected by the size or ornateness of a stone. I can NOT imagine experiencing the loss of a child and not wanting to do otherwise. I can't even imagine the love and tears that have been left at the grave of an unmarked child.
Very interesting church ruins and graveyard. Good to see that the grounds are in somewhat good condition, except for a few spots. I have never seen a Mort Safe like this before. It used to have a door in it at one time? Great video, thank you very much GV and Sue. Have a great week ahead. 😊
Hi GV Steve from England know watching your latest video, the cattle wants a word bless. Lovely old church, timbers lasted well. Never seen one before GV, really exstrodany, 17 bless her RIP. Great video.
Beautiful cemetary! That was a Mort vault!! Such a terrible worry for families during those times, bad enough that family members died but then to have them disinterred and taken for God knows what!
Thank you for reading tombstones. I also love the cows in the background ❤ The old tombstones are the best. I’ve learned that here in America they used to use wood so that’s why not many old ones exist anymore. I guess being a young country is also a reason. Thank you for your content ❤️✌️
I've never heard of a Mort safe before, maybe their not a thing here in Canada. How would one enter this safe? Was it sealed up later after no more family members were to be placed inside? Thanks for showing this GV. Awesome and educational video as always.
That is a beautiful Church and graveyard lots of old grave stones . That is a big morte safe I didn't know that there are morte safes in that part of the word. Thank you for sharing another great video 📹 you really know how to do a good job . Have a wonderful day from Marie in Northern British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
While i remember, as I forgot to mention on the video itself, you mentioned Warrenpoint. Wasn't there a serious incident in Warrenpoint during the height if the Troubles? It rings a faint bell 🤔
we are so lucky that the vast majority of our children grow up; back then 1/3 of them died; or i think i turned 66 july 23; most of the people who ever lived didnt get to be that old
Thank you, i have never seen or heard of a mort safe before. I am enjoying your video's, seeing the old architecture and the respect you show to the departed. It is fascinating seeing the old graves and beautiful cemeteries.
My family did a long weekend stay at a cattle farm (we were just staying in the old farm house, not doing anything with the cattle). Until that weekend, I had no idea how noisy cows could be. This video reminded me of that and made me smile. I know that has nothing to do with the graves, but it does have to do with the video. 🐮😄
Beautiful presentation. I have ancestors from the areas you visit. They immigrated to America in the 1850s. Thank you for all the effort and time you put into this.
I live in County Antrim and didn't know this graveyard existed! There is a really old graveyard beside the limestone quarry heading towards Ballylumford power station county Antrim...it's hidden behind an old wall. The road that runs along it is supposedly haunted too. Thanks for sharing this video 🍀
@@jules5394 Co Antrim is very beautiful. Visited a couple times while living in England. Hubby worked at Short Bros in Belfast. Enjoyed the coast…Dunluce Castle, Giant’s Causeway, and of course, Bushmills distillery.
Greetings from Ojai, California. U.S.A. My Great, Great Grandfather immigrated to Canada from Donegal, I'm hoping you or Serenity get over that way one day! I find all these old burial grounds simply amazing and I can't help but wonder how long these headstones took to be chiseled and how in the world could the Stone Cutters have kept up with the demand... Just incredible!
Hi GV hope you are well it looks a very old cemetery looks a lot off history there it's nice to see the grass is cut so you can get a round some of the writing on them are really good to read wow that is big thanks for sharing take care 👍
"Jelly is a name originating with Viking settlers in Scotland. It is a B**tardization of the personal name Giles." Paraphrased from "House of Names" website.
Weird to think but remember they sold bodies to doctors in universities.The doctors learned how our bodies worked and what killed people etc from that very illegal and disrespectful practice. It advanced medical knowledge saving others. Such an awlful thing that helped others. Like how war also advanced medical science and knowledge. Northern Ireland doctors used to be experts in gunshot wounds. The Iraq war saw the US military invest in new prosthetic advancements cause the sheer amount of soilders with missing limbs. However thst poor father back then must have got that built knowing it was more than just stealing a wedding ring off a corpse. Cause you wouldn't protect a grave like that unless it was the actual body you were worried about someone stealing. Also some of the old skeletons and other body parts in those universities still teaching new future medical folk to this day are stolen bodies not all donated to medical science. Plus remember Burke and Hare in Scotland had irish connections so its problary likely that criminal awlful practices would have happen here as well.
