I had to look up deplored since I always thought that was a negative word. Now I know that the doctor was actually loved and missed by his patients. You're never too old to learn!
Hello from Massachusetts, US. I would watch just to hear your brogue. I am also glad that I'm not the only weirdo that enjoys cemeteries. I do my walking in cemeteries, and the older, the better. I find them very relaxing and peaceful. Love the videos!❤❤
Very interesting graveyard! Crowded, but well tended! Now we also know why people buried in abandoned churches! Great tour of the mausoleums GV . You always get a look inside!!
That cloth on the slab had me wondering where they were/went. Then you made sense about what may have happened. lol Thank you for the video. Hope you both are keeping well.
1st time for me to see a graveyard with the graves so close together. But I love all the stone out where I live or even when I am out and about I am always bringing rocks home. I have always wanted a stone house but that hasn't come about. But I do have stone gardens and a pond. Lol! Thank you for the visit. 😊
Great video GV,nice to see it well kept,hopefully the remains were removed to a safer place,May they all R.I.P Safe travels to you both,god bless,👋👋🙏🙏👍🇦🇺
10:43 Interesting that it says “Deplored” by the poor, as this would mean that they strongly disapproved of the doctor, while the rest of the inscription suggests otherwise. Very curious! Very enjoyable video, thanks GV.
It is surprising how crowded this little cemetery is! How can they continue to add more graves in such a crowded space? It’s a mystery! Thank you! This video was great! ❤
I thought this cemetery was very well kept considering most of the deceased are squeezed in there together. It is not disrespectful, they have just decided to use every piece of open turf for burials. It really is close together so one has to walk on the curbing until someone breaks an ankle! It was still a magical place Cathal! Thanks for taking us there! ♥️🙏🇮🇪
What a VERY grand mausoleum!! It's such a shame about the vandalism!! I wonder what happened to those buried in the mausoleum!! GREAT content, as always, Cathal!! XXXX ❤👍💞🤗
Hi nadia, it's strange to see the Niches empty well I couldn't see other areas but it looks empty to me. I'm sure they had to close the door up maybe vandalism occurred
Very interesting church ruins and graveyard. The large mausoleum was particularly interesting. It probably was broken into sometime in the past, and the remains were probably reburied somewhere else. I noticed an article of clothing left behind. The last mausoleum you looked at, I saw the skull and some bones, but no messy remnants of a coffin. ( Unless you saw something that I did not. ) It actually looked pretty clean to me. Thank you very much GV and Sue, for a very interesting video. Have a great day. 😊
Greetings frrom Portland, Oregon. 🇺🇸 I thoroughly enjoy your videos. When I visited Ireland, I would stop off at various cemeteries because they've always fascinated me. I do the same at every country I visit. Thanks for taking us along.
Beautiful cemetery, its wonderful to see it well maintained and cared about. Thanks for all of your hard work on these tours, And may all of the dearly departed rest in peace 🙏 🪦, have a blessed weekend, from Julie in Virginia USA😊
186st I could just listen to you talk for hours...... Love your accent.....I was in Ireland 14yrs ago.....absolutely Beautiful .... my Heritage is from Donegal - Gallagher / Costello
Such a tidy cemetery. You've made me curious about these places & the stories. I stopped at Sandgate Cemetery today & someone from County Clare was there. Many were from 1880's & most in horrible disrepair, fallen headstones with lichen. Many had collapsed slabs & in 1 part something had been tunnelling under the slabs. Looked like a fox dens, maybe rabbits too. Was very hot & barren place but I looked around for 1hr. I brushed the dirt off a fallen stone & sharp pain like a stab to the finger. Neville someone, I know it was him telling me to sod off.
@@GraveVisitations LOL it was probably a cat head thorn or something but the thought amused me. He would be ungrateful cos his headstone was 3/4 under dirt & no-one has seen it for a while. After that I wandered to the 2 crypt mausoleum things with a sore finger saying "Why Neville, why?". There are 85,000 graves there so I only saw a bit.
Hello from San Diego, California. I’m enjoying your videos, I love old architecture and reading along with you all the names of those who came before us.
Hello and Greetings from Tasmania Australia. Love watching your videos. I also enjoy the quiet time wandering through cemeteries. I also loved your video's from Paris. I didn't get to see them when I was there so a BIG thank you for all you do!....Oh, and your accent is to die for!!
Lost my mother this past November and have been having a hard time dealing with it so I watch your videos and am astonished at how many people have been in my same position. You are doing God's work in being these people's only visitor this century.
You present your video, amazingly well. Thank you for reading the inscriptions which all graveyard tours should definitely do the same. Calgary, Canada
That old vault does look like an old bank but grand looking , pity it was empty inside . those graves are very close together and loved how they marked the newer graves with the older tombstone . wish they did it here great tour ❤
I've got alot of catching up to do with the vids on your channel. I'm luv'n it. You do great beauiful work here: the history, the viewing, the researching, the reading of many headstones etc etc-Thx so much. ❤ Your accent brings back memories of a dear friend who passed many yrs ago.
I am From West Virginia, U.S. my heritage is Irish/Scottish and Italian, with some Portuguese as well. I really enjoy your walks through the cemeteries and seeing the old churches and Mausoleums and Crypts...it is almost like Archeology in a way.. I wish Ilived close to ancient Ruins, Castles and such. I always wonder why the churches were abandoned and not kept up over the year's....Do You know why that is maybe? Anyway's I am a New subscriber to your channel and it is really interesting to see where you all explore next. Thanks & God Bless & Keep You!!!
My sister loves Ireland..County Cork is where my Grandfather was born..John O'Holleran. My Grandmother Mary Ellen Joyce was born in County Mayo where some of the Quiet Man was Filmed She's been there twice. My brother many times. Stay safe. God Bless You. 🌹
From Rhode Island US ... Great video of a beautiful old cemetery I was reading your comment about the church and why it did not have a roof The church had the roof taken off so they don't have to pay taxes that's funny that's one way to outsmart the taxman .... Speaking of Churches Have you seen the news cast about the church collapse in New London CT ???? .. It's nice to know that you have family in Springfield MA I call that area the Tornado Capital of New England in the Summer months and by chance if you ever come to visit New England Take a Trip out to Block Island and visit the graveyard there The Ball Family has interesting marking on top of their headstone balls carved out of granite very different to see ,, Take care enjoy your week
This is an absolutely beautiful graveyard. The graves in the old church is so amazing. If they so old how old is the church? Am from Swaziland 🇸🇿 Eswatini is the new name. Boarder next to South Africa. Absolutely love your channel thank you so much for sharing.
Love your channel very respectful and informative about the graves and the people who are in them thanks for showing theses things I live in the USA would never been able to see graves like this if you didn't make videos thank you
Hi. Im from Queensland Australia. I have Irish ancestry from Murrisk, county Mayo. I hope that you go up that way in your travels and i might see some of my ancestors headstones.. but i dont think they woulf of had the money to purchase one ☺️ i am enjoying your series as i love to explore older cemeteries too.
You know I always wonder with vandals breaking into crypts. Isn't there toxic mold ect. that would make you sick? When you get an inside shot , these older crypts often look nasty. Not the kind of places you would want to spend much time in. cool graveyard non the less thou, especially the church . 👍
I have just discovered your channel and find it most interesting. Thank you for sharing your videos I will go back and watch from your first one so much history in cemeteries and in your beautiful country. I live in Canada☺
That's my local graveyard where I've family buried. The Scott vault was opened years ago....there were bones & skulls in there. It's a very old graveyard....thats why the graves are so near....but there are 2 new extensions....the 1st one is nearly full....the 2nd extension only opened in the last 2 to 3 years, the graves there are properly spaced out. Pity you missed the headstone at the end of the graveyard, a funeral director (R.I.P) donated it, in memory of all the people who died in the famine. May all who lie in this graveyard, Rest in Peace 🙏🙏🙏
Great video, thank you! Sad to see remains scattered occasionally about in the mausoleums. I wonder what causes this - grave robbers, floods, rodents or other? Any ideas, anyone?
Hello you two! I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a crowded graveyard since I visited Haworth and the rectory and graveyard where the Brontë sisters lived with their father who was the rector ! I’m glad the way we collect drinking water these days, as a lot of people there died because water ran through the graves and poisoned the drinking water further down the hill. I’m sure you know what I’m muttering about , anyway…I’m so pleased to see so much of interest here, but as you say, older folk would have a terribly time trying to reach graves of loved ones! I fell over visiting my parents grave not so long since, but I turned into Alice in Wonderland that day, as there are so many rabbits and holes I caught my foot in one in the long grass and went down with a whallop! Not to be recommended!! Cathal, I’d like to ask what make of video camera your using please? You, more than Sue ( sorry Sue!) seem to pick up far more EVP’s when your out these days, and on a previous sad video with the famine graves, paupers graves, even mausoleum! I was hearing them through your camera loads of times! It’s either that Spirit recognises you both for visiting graveyards , so feel more comfortable talking, or you/we are getting more used to hearing them…I don’t know which, but I think it’s lovely if they do feel completely comfortable with you both. I enjoy watching a young man called Dalen Spratt on utube who goes round to talk to spirits who may not get visitors or talked to in a long time. It’s amazing how pleased they are that someone has done that…and word spreads as they often know his name before he says it, so they must talk! He isn’t disrespectful at all, and it’s really interesting. He visited a slave grave area, ( he’s black african American, his mother a Babtist minister) And they were pleased to talk..but then he was at a plantation owners grave another day and the spirit was so rude! Shouting he’s Black! So they havnt learnt very much since they passed, and should be more aware of the bad things they did back in the day. Anyway I apologise for digressing then, but I find the things spirit can tell about their lives is fascinating….they want to talk. Even a Nun who has several little orphans buried around her talks to him, and explains their stories . She was so pleased when he took little toys for the children and flowers for her, as she had never been given flowers before. I think since you started you have had more experiences…and I’d still love to know who was in that little overgrown graveyard in the field, which had a sort of bower with an owl, windchime, even Holy water. I think you said a brother and sister were buried there….I just mention as you talked of going back when the overgrowth and brambles etc had died back. Thankyou for taking us on this perilous adventure with nowhere to safely walk! Maybe the large gravestones have been lain down in case they fell on people…they is so much legal issues now with tilting grave stones etc..I know where my parents are buried notes were stuck to several, and then they were literally pushed over by the graves man. They notes asked relatives of dcd with stone to make them safe or they would be removed against the church wall! I think it’s awful as once moved they won’t remember where the grave is! How times change, and I hate it, I’ve had the base of my parents stone replaced with a larger squarer one so it won’t tilt over now! 🙀 what a worry! Sorry I’ve written you both so much! Ooh..in the mausoleum with the sheet /cloth still there I’m sure I saw the part of the skeleton called the sacrum…from the very lower part of your spine…have a look and see what you think. Take care! Look forward to more by you both! Love and light Helen 🙋♀️👏🏻👏🏻👍💕🥰🙏💐xx
Hi Helen thank you for the comment please be careful when walking I hope you are OK now ❤️ regarding the evps I use a normal Android phone nothing special really and a mic to block out the wind etc. I think spirits are attracted to me even since I was very young. But I never fear them because I know they mean no harm.
Do you know why these chutches were abandoned an 11:05 d left to fall into ruin? It can't be a light decision to let a house of God fall by the way. It's not as if the graveyard was left, too, as new headstones can be seen. Was there a newer church nearby GV. And was there a rough date as to when the church was abandoned. How long would it take to fall into that state of disrepair? Would it have been "cannibalised" for things such as roof tiles to build other dwellings? Sorry to be a pain, GV God made me curious! 😊
Alot of these old churches had roofs taken off and left like like this. Would cost alot im sure to replace and fix up. I just found out that the cemetery had extreme flooding in 2014 and locals were very upset over graves washed away etc
@GraveVisitations Hm! Interesting, GV. Shane about the flooding , but climate change (grr!) and a gradual change in water courses over the decades, and even more, centuries can not be predicted when foundations are first laid, or the first bodies buried. I appreciate you letting me know this facts, GV! You're a star 🌟 🤩
