I Explore An 18th Century Church Abandoned For 32 Years!!

- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Hidden in a small English village is this absolutely incredible abandoned 18th Century church. Apparently it has been left since 1988 with everything still inside, the chairs are covered in dust, there is an open bible left on the side and I even found some old Christmas carols sheets. This church is one of a kind and I truly hope it stays this way for many years to come. Hope you enjoy this weeks videos guys, next week I find some incredible car related items... one of them once had the prancing horse on its bonnet!!

We have old graves in our family cemetary & every year we go & clean them & repaint or whitewash them. It would be amazing if someone could do that with old graves, maybe the mames & dates would be readable. Thank you for showing the graveyard along with the church. 💜👩🇺🇲
A bit of historical insight or you. The Glyn family were aristocratic with several family members holding the title of Baron of Wolverton.
The first plaque you looked at names Edward Carr Glyn, there is a man of this name who was Bishop of Peterborough (may or may not be the same man).
The large cross grave marker was interesting as it had "Waterloo" written on the top, so likely a soldier who fell in the battle, especially given him young age. The Crest in the centre looks remarkably similar to that of the 95th Rifles Regiment, from what I can find they were the only British regiment at Waterloo with a bugle/horn on their crest.
I would love to get involved in some Urbex to add some input on a historical level. Keep up the good work mate.
Bells were cast at the whitechapel bell foundry London, they also casted the bell for big Ben and liberty bell in USA.
I'm always so impressed with the respect you have for the sites and buildings you visit. Keep up the fantastic work.
"I have to go up there and have a look!"...man after my own heart!
Makes me so sad to see this beautiful church go into ruin
The problem is these churches cost a small fortune to maintain. If the locals want to have a church for their Hatches Matches and Dispatches Then they must support it financially. That applies in towns as well as country. Most churches are having financial difficulties. My grandmothers maiden name was Glyn She was from the potteries. There is confusion her father found out his name was Gwlyn When he tried to get his pension in 1940 The family were originally from Wales
Thank you for sharing. This gorgeous older Church. Maybe the people of the town. Could go in together. And pledge so much money. From each person. To have the Church restored. It's a shame just sitting there deteriorating. Have a Blessed Day.
Very sad to see a church like that thank you for the look around keep safe and well xx
I'm so sorry to see a church in this abandoned state.
Hello.... just watched exploring with fighters visiting that church at night and Steve supposedly got scratched....you went to that church after they did and showed it in a lovely light... your respectful and so genuine .... it was a lovely video. Wish you would take lily on the times when you do things alone... she would be a companion and protector too hopefully lol xxxx
The first video I've seen of you exploring a church. It's a scheme this church is not being preserved or protected from damage, but because you make a variety of videos on different buildings and places, this is what makes your channel.so captivating
Thomas Mears was the bellfounder,a partner in Mears and Stainbank bellfounders,of Whitechapel in London.
What a beautiful old church , thankyou for sharing it with us all
Thomas Mears was a a bellfounder who was born in 1775. He died in 1831. He was a co- owner of the Mears and Stainbank foundry situated at white chapel in London. He would prevent rival founders competing with him by buying their foundries. One of those foundries he purchased was that of John Rudhall whose family had a foundry in Gloucester from 1682 until John became bankrupt and sold to Mears in 1821. Unusually though, Mears never closed the Gloucester foundry unlike the others he purchased, he rented it back to Rudhall presumably as rudhall was in his 60s, he wouldn't found bells for more than a few more years. Mears and stainbank was sold to the Whitechapel bellfoundry after Mears died John Rudhalll is my 4x great grandfather and I wrote and published a book about the rudhall bellfounders which includes information on Mears and Stainbank.
I know this was posted long ago, but, I was looking for churches... this is a really sweet little church. Beautiful and so little decay surprisingly. Oh how I wish I could move to England, buy it, restore it and live in it!!! The spiders however would either need to find a new home or go to heaven... Thanks so much!
Wow! Awesome church.! The stained glass is simply beautiful!
Your my favourite explorer,your footage is like a TV program, you film nice and slow and give us a chance to have a good look,if you were on TV I'd set my timer for your program you've got better and better 👍👍👍💯
Thank you so much it means a lot to me 🙂
@@TheBeardedExplorer awe your welcome, your channel is amazing.
OH WOW on that chuch, bet the pews were original, they looked,like they were and the stain glass of Jesus was gorgeous too.thank you for being respectful of the locations you go to. I hate when vandals mess up locations,which gives RUclipsrs a bad name too unfortunately but to see that church was highlight of my day . From Oklahoma :)
I want to explore with this man...... Although some areas I wouldn't fit as I'm larger than before lockdown 🥴
12ft away instead of 6ft. I reckon I'm using the toilet more than ever with lockdown 🍺
Great explore, nice to see that there's respect for church( no defacing/vandalism). I enjoy your channel greatly and have subscribed. Stay safe and healthy 👍😷✌
Hi there. really love all your videos really interesting & excellent. O love this video, what a shame such a beautiful old church has been left to rot, with all those bibles & beautiful bells. Surely the National Trust need to step in & put a preservation order on it so has to protect the church & it's contents. Can't wait for the next video. Stay safe. Andy
It’s sad seeing an abandoned church like that and the neglected cemetery. I wish someone would come along and restore the church somehow. It didn’t look too terribly bad considering it’s been left like that for 32 years. Thank you for exploring these places.
I would have LOVED to have one of those old Bibles or prayer books.....
more than likely it will get turned into flats , great vid that was
Very good explore once again you allways give good information also you film slow giving us a chance to look at what your filming it such a shame a church should fall into disrepair though keep safe my friend x
I love your videos. So respectful, and mannerly. I could listen to you talk all day, every day. I get a giggle every time you chuckle.
Videos like these are so fascinating for me. I enjoy learning about the past and seeing buildings from the past. It’s a bit of a shame this beautiful Church has been abandoned.
Lovely video, as ever. Thank you! What a sad sight. A church which was once loved and in which people worshiped and sung hymns now forgotten and neglected. I am so glad that there has been no real vandalism. Thank you too for being respectful. You always are of everywhere you go - otherwise I wouldn't watch your uploads.
of Gloster' was a bell-founder there in the 13th century; but it came chiefly into note under the Rudhall family in the 18th century. Thomas Mears was at the head of the business until 1810
Just found you channel by recommendation from a mutual fan! Looking forward to working our way through your back catalogue
Thomas Mears was firstly apprentice and then partner in the firm of Lester, Lack & Chapman, taking it over in 1767; the business remained in the Mears family name until 1865 but the bell foundry at Whitechapel goes back at least to Robert Mot in 1570 who first used the trademark of the three-bells in 1583.
Cool place.Nice respectful video as always
Nice church 🔥some old graveyards their good video
Just watching this now. Brilliant finds. @9.35 " Form of prayer to almighty God at this time of war" Sunday 1st October 1939. Not quite 1 month into WW2. Remarkable thing to find, and should be preserved. Fascinating stuff, gotta love history. Hint for reading faded inscriptions on stone, a fine spray of water can sometimes bring out the lettering. @14 27 that's a Military grave or memorial, the regimental crest shows what are called ' Battle honours', I saw Waterloo, Inkerman & Sevastopol. Fascinating stuff.
Thomas Mears II was the master founder at Whitechapel Bell Foundry in London from 1810 to 1844.
From 1805 until 1810 he was the joint master founder along with his father Thomas Mears Senior who was Master founder himself from 1791.
William Mears was the master founder before the two Thomas’ from 1781.
GREAT EXPLORER, MY FRIEND, LIKE TO SEE. IT WAS GOOD IF SOMEONE RESTAURED THIS MONUMENT. THAT IS THE HOUSE OF GOD, VERY BEUTIFUL. TANKS TO SHARE, BIG HUG FROM PORTUGAL😀🌞🌞🌻🌞🌞
Love the intro and music.
You work is amazing .
Thank you.
Great explore 😎
I love the stained glass windows and
them old radiators are worth a fortune too.
I can't believe you go to these places by yourself still ! !
All the best m8y as I don't know your name and beardy seems a bit 😉
🙂🍻👍🏻
what a find just such a shame it is slowly deteriorating it reallys needs to be saved and preserved it could even be turned into a beautiful home for someone thank you for sharing you have a knack for tracking down these places
Great explore mate
I would love to see some person who has the money take this church and remove it so that it can be restored and opened up for services again. This would be a wonderful church to have in your town or any town for that matter.
I would love to resurrect it if I had the money to have a quality removal company take it apart and move it to the town I live in when I am in the United states. The boiler system that is partially removed and covered in giant spiders would have to be removed and replaced with something that is more efficient and has much more ease of maintenance.
Sadly, there are plenty of churches like this around the country...there just aren't the congregations for them and they close due to disuse. A church near to me has a congregation of four - on a good day - including the vicar.
Why has this been left like this amazing
Really great explore! Love your work and hope all is well with you and yours, Be Well.
Nice video dude. Loved visiting here myself, what a gorgeous place to film ♥️
Loving the blue tiles 💕
Wow spooky one I like 👍🏼
Another great video Beardy man thanks you!
Thanks for taking me along
This a very beautiful church
Hi dude, say where do you get your music from for your videos?,what app/software do I use to edit also? Great work 👍
Beautifullly sad!
Such a shame that this sacred old building is abandoned like this. It needs to be saved and restored so it can be used as a place of worship once again
Would love to see this church restored
You sound so Westcountry... Just like me!! ;)
Great video from the bearded explorers
i know of a old disused church full of old cars, its privately owned & sadly access not allowed
think you will find that the hole in the floor is the churches heating system ie coal on the floor
Great vid man.
Nice video and respectful👏
I like your videos, but where do you get the informations for the locations?
And in I appolagize for mistakes I make, but I learned english at school and it's long ago.
Greetings from Germany and keep going.
I watched a number of your videos. I think this has got to be the best one! I live in America and it's wonderful to see things in other countries. Only a small suggestion don't move the camera quite so fast anything I try to see I have to back up and re-watch. This is not criticism just a suggestion. Keep up the good work!
I ONLY HAVE SEEN 2 TODAY, NOWT APPEARED BEFORE AND I WAS TOTALLY OBLIVIOUS OF THE BEARDED GUY AND IS FILMS BEFORE TODAY !!!
Sir Richard Glyn paid for this grade II listed church to be built. Known as St Kelmers Church formerly St Anbridge
역사가있는 교회같은데 안타깝네요~~~
항상 안전하시고 건강하시길 응원할게요~~~
thank you! ^^
hi, thanks for another great video. do you use google maps to find these places or rely on intel?
All the woodwork properly be all hand carved
I know you don’t give locations away, but is this Wimborne in Dorset , the Glyn family have and still do own large areas of farms , Manor House etc there , also the Carr name which was on the headstone is also linked to the Glyn family .
great video very creepy place mate
❤
How has this been allowed to happen ?
Think the Glyns must have been a local wealthy family who probably financed the building of the church and used it as their own mausoleum.
Não compreendo inglês, não teria legenda?
I'm not religious or anything like that. But I admire the architecture that churches and the likes have. Such a shame that it comes to this ☹️ Should never be abandoned, this could make use for all kinds of uses e.g homeless, fete's, activities in general. Surely money raised would help restore all that's required. I know you can't give the location away because of dickheads that trash places and think their hard at doing it. But I was wondering if you approached anybody in the area about the disrepair of a once lovely looking church that's been stood for centuries. And the bells are awesome 🔔🔔
This is so sad
that would make a nice house but cost a fortune
OH MY GOD , I MADE A BIG DISCOVERY , AT THE MINUTE 9 :18 MAGICALLY APPEARS A 2015 BOOTS BAG , THAT MEANS THAT IS NOT 32 YEARS OLD TOTALLY ABANDONED , OH MY GOD !
Wow we've got ourselves a Columbo lol😲 the bearded explorer won't be the only person to pass the threshold that bag could've come from any other explorer or teenager who's sat off in there with some Cider¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Antiquesreviewer since 1978 the door was already open so I wasn’t the first in there 😉
@@TheBeardedExplorer just jokin mate
A great video, thanks for showing us around. I agree it is a shame that such a well built building is left empty but as more and more realise that religion is just a con, more churches will end up like this. Hopefully someone will buy it and turn it into a nice home.
Why gov not using this place for something else...or may be refurbish this church...
Looking a bit sun burnt mate, what a shame for a lovely church.
Surely it's still owned by the church of England?
Did you get permission to look round?
It's really annoying when you start the video with a minute or two of what's inside then go back to 'the start' before you've gone in. I just fast forward the first bit to avoid the 'suspense'. Anyone else find this spoils the vid a bit?
I just close my eyes until he speaks.
Grey Webs 😂 Nice one!
@@combrogi they all seem to do it mind. I don't mind gives me time to fill my beer glass up 🍺
It's called a teaser. It's just like movies teaser trailers. It's an enticement to watch.
Donette Miller I know what it's supposed to be but you don't go to the cinema, watch the trailer then the film directly after. It's just ANNOYING 😜
This is the same church that another explorer went down that crypt in the floor and got really attacked and also filmed a demon on camera,
No demon in a church while theres a bible there.
@@michaelclark8582 sorry but your wrong, a demon doesn't care if s Bibles there or not, watch the you tube ch Mississippi Ghosts that church has more than one demon they even have footage,
@@michaelclark8582 you've been watching too many movies of course a demon will be in a church with a Bible, I'm a investigater and I'm telling you first hand your talking bollocks.
@@winterriley5770 what a demon just sitting around in an old deserted church? Bit of a waste of a good demon don't you think? Lol.
I cant believe this is abandoned in a christian country. Sad so sad.
England is not a "Christian Country". There are far more atheists than theists in the UK. The reason it is abandoned is because people know better than believing in invisible deities
1859, year before Lincoln become president.
What a waste. I know where this is. So sad. Been explored by many people. I don't understand why the people ie community have not saved this place. I hear something to do with a boy being murdered etc.
Not a good history. Bad things happened in this church
How do you know? Please share.
