Frederick Kempster is a distant relative. His grandfather & my great grandfather were brothers. Long story, but due to a death in the family just before my side of the family emigrated to Australia, Frederick's side decided to remain in England. Wonderful to see his grave. Thank you.
@@skeggyyou may be right but you can't be sure of. that if the car park was not laid, they may have built on it and discovered the body. That was still one hell of a long shot finding Richard. It was long believed his bones were thrown into a nearby river. It was laid there for 500 yrs undisturbed and then a dopey archeologist put a trowel into his skull.
Hi, great walk. Such a shame that it’s not all looked after. Breaks my heart to see graves yards over grown. Beautiful headstones as usual. It’s great that Fredericks grave is looked after. Thank you as always.
I'm from Blackburn myself, Born and bred. Great video, Blackburn Rovers is one of the oldest clubs in the world along with Burnley,Bolton and a couple of others.
I have ancestors with the surname Berry. It was neat to see him mentioning John Berry. Wow that's amazing to see the man who grew to 8 feet four and lived a good life and be buried with such respect and dignity.
Hi , ive decided I like the brambles the blackberries etc, for the colors which make it all look magical. A nice tribute to Frederick Kempster. Sounds very peaceful there. Thank you for creating this video.
3:14 How can it be that the founder of one of the oldest clubs in the world and recognized in England has such an abandoned and precarious grave. In my country, a founder of a club of those characteristics would have a mausoleum.
Wow that’s so young to go to another country. So sad that his family was broken up after the death of their Father. The stones here are brilliant a lot of history here I could watch for hours wonderful film thanks until the next. 😊
I liked seeing these old cemeteries but it make me sad to see them in such bad shape. Wish there some on to care for them. These people all need and deserve respect.
I'm glad you visit other people. Not just the one person you came to see. I've always thaught it was a shame regular people don't get visited by youtubers.
Dan, I will not be able to see the premiere but when I get out of work I will look at it. It looks very interesting so thank you very much. I have read about this gentleman, and I have read about the other man that was as tall as him in the 1920s. The tallest man I ever met was Manute Bol the basketball player, he lived in Kansas and so I saw him at the store I worked at. He was 7 ft 2, so looking forward to it thanks.
When in went to high school, we had a basketball player at 7'3 walking down the the hallway his mid chest to his head. Popped up above everyone else.. he and his friend went out to a party and crashed his car into a cornfield and they didn't find them until corn harvest season began, almost 4 months later, they went airborne and no knocked down corn to suggest, I was going to do a video and post it on my page, but know it's just a road . I felt so bad for the parent's... 🤗. From Wisconsin 😊
What a shame the graves have been neglected / forgotten about, I expect the relatives of these people are no longer with us.but it’s a real shame to see a grave yard like that 🙏🏻 amazing grave of Fredrick 🙏🏻 thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
Another great video Dan! That is amazing how tall the man was, his grave plot could fit two people, but it was just for him. I can’t help but feel kind of sorry for the guy though, as well as people in his same predicament. Where they had to earn a living by joining circuses, carnivals and I hate to say “freak shows”. Hell of a way to survive. Oh my shirt and decal is already on its way, should be here some time next week, but with the thanksgiving holiday, who knows. Take care brother
I know it so sad, but I hope he had some enjoyment in his life. It must have been frustrating being that tall. I've been thinking about him a lot after this video, I'll always remember him now
What an absolutely stunning and atmospheric cemetery... I know folks won't like the overgrown nature of it, but it's really beautiful in its own way. Probably my favourite that I've seen on your channel. The town I live in here in Canada has a really beautiful cemetery that is more maintained than this, but looks just as lovely in the autumn. This reminds me of what it might look like if they started to neglect the mowing. BTW, can we get a link to your merch store in the description or as a pinned comment?
I had never heard of this British giant, so thanks for doing a programme on him. Though the graveyard desperatly needs some work. As a teenager I grew up in a small village in Kent where the local farmer would herd his sheep into the grave yard in the springtime. Once there, the sheep would happily munch away at all the grass etc and kept the graveyard nice and trim. Perhaps they should follow suit in this Lancashire graveyard, though with some of the newer residents they now have there, the sheep might not be safe anymore.
New subscriber from USA, i have been enjoying your video and commentary. I enjoy doing the same exploration in my country, i live in Kansas and i am lucky to find graves in the early 1800's
I just love old cemeteries. I try to imagine the lives of the people buried in them. Fredericks grave was interesting. I’ve never seen anyone that tall before. Just incredible.
Hello mate.i like your videos but when you stop at a grave and give there name can you look for the date aswell as it's a lot more interesting to me and maybe others.cheers!
So true Carl, when I'm doing video's I always maybe take longer because I'm drawn to the very old one's and I love finding both dates . 🤗 From Wisconsin 😊 United States
Great video, sad so many graves are abandoned & falling into disrepair, but it really tickled me when you speeded it up when you were walking, I thought I watched Alvin & the Chipmunks.
The flaking of old stone is called desquamation. I see it a lot on old buildings, and monuments, especially old limestone more than sandstone on my walks. Glad I just found your site. Cheers.
Dan, the cemetery was very interesting thank you for sharing. I wonder if that Entwistle family was related to John Entwistle The Who band member. Anyway great tour, thanks.
GREAT VIDEO WHAT AN AMAZING CEMETERY SO OLD AS WELL THANK YOU FOR FINDING FREDRICKS GRAVE SO SAD HE DIED SO YOUNG KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK R I P FREDRICK 🙏👍
Quite a shame that much of the place has overgrown. These are historic graves and should be taken care of as such. The sheer craftsmanship of a lot of the monuments. Makes me want to explore with some tools.
It's so sad to see older parts of graveyards left to grow wild, these graves are invaluable to local history and people who like to roam around these Dead Good places
U said the sign says not to go up to those graves. Why can't u go up to them? That one part of ur video was spooky. It was like spirits talking. I love ur videos. They r very interesting. Thank u for sharing.
That's a very beautiful dangerous place, well I don't think we will see such a long grave anywhere else soon, thanks for the walk and the bit of silliness 😅
I wonder why some areas are more kept than others? I like a bit of overgrowth, but tame enough to be safe when wandering the grounds. Fall is my favorite time of the year, it really sets the stage for your walks! Glad it was warm enough that you weren't miserable!
Some cemeteries are deliberately given over to nature, or parts of them. I wouldn’t like to see newer ones like that, but, IMO, as long as they are old graves, it’s good. Living people take so much from nature, once we’re gone, it’s nice to give something back.
Graveyards don't have to be interesting Dan, we just like reading the old stones. I had a very good chuckle during the sped up portion in this one. Deb of Oz.
THE CHURCH YARD WERE MY DAD IS BURIED IS SO TINY. WENT ONE DAY THEY HAD PUT BOARDS OVER MY DAD TO BURY SOMONE ALONGSIDE. THE SOIL WAS ON TOP. I BROKE MY HEART CRYING. PHONED CHURCH WARDEN WAS ASSURED EVERTHING WOULD BE AS IT SHOULD. ( THE STONE ANGEL WAS PUT TO ONE SIDE) WENT BACK A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER. O.K. ALRIGHT , BUT THE NEW GRAVE WAS 2FT AWAY WIDTH WAYS FROM MY DAD. BLOODY AWFUL !!
I'm so glad that a interesting grave and history is kept well. Shame the grave yard doesn't keep the rest of the place tidy, they have so much history going to waste who ever is responsible should be ashamed.
Oh, I would love to clean that place up! The older stones could look new again. People would come to read the inscriptions and take pictures of the amazing stones. Well, that's my dream anyway.
I hope more of this cemetery will be cleaned and made lovely again. I think it might need a few more walks. And there is life all around those sleeping, it does need some squirrels. :)
Most of these old cemeteries are unsafe, due to the fact the grounds were never properly designed for constant water irrigation drainage due to heavy rainfall. The constant rainfall means the graves become unstable and sink into the ground. If you was to step around certain graves the earth would most likely give way.
What is the meaning of the symbol over the tomb of James varley? I've seen some of the tomb have that symbols on it. I'm sorry for asking. I'm just curious of many symbols and the design of the tomb. So unique... Btw, i love your content so much😉
Those headstones were works of art!! I’d like something like this verses what they sell now. I wonder how flat they are and what is it made off.. I wanted you to walk around the obelisks and steeples. I would like that, they’re on all continents and feel heavenly, church, God. I wanted to see the nude statue. When you come to statues, if the head is off, show where it’s broken.I like to try to figure out what things are made of. You could talk about energies? Your thoughts ? I wanted to ask if you tried calling someone to go take care of the cemetery?? You might get it taken care of.It needs to be kept up. It’s a beautiful place. Call the town Hall, Town Council. If you can walk totally around the grave. Show a bunch more, the older, and more ornate , or a beautiful stone… unique ones. Headstones, graves, Memorials, don’t look like that. Instead of walking down the road with the camera pointing straight aim at all that beautiful craftsmanship.You could do a 5 part series on this Cemetery . You could study this town and make a documentary. ❤ Seriously. If you’re near.. show the condition, and the beauty. You could get better cameras.. Grants
Sad how young some people were when they died, life was much harder then even for the well off, professional types. I should think Frederick had some genetic/hormonal problem.
Quite a wild one it reminds me of our very old one where I live. It's probably worst than that. I've only found out recently why graves face East...so they face the sun rising of a new day. Also its said to be for Christ's second coming. Everyday a school day !
Perhaps you could visit the Village of hale near Liverpool ,for the history of the Childe of Hale who was reputed to have been 9feet 3 inches, in the 17th Century,he was taken to be the Kings Wrestler it is said that a Thigh bone in the local Church proves his height,the local pub had a Lifesize painting of him on the wall,
@@deadgoodwalks I have`nt been to hale for many years but i understood the thigh bone is in a glass case i the church,a house in the village is supposed to be where he lived with a small window he is supposed to put his feet out of when in bed because the room was`nt big enough the story is supposed to be true because there is records of him being King Charles the seconds wrestler in the late 1600s.
@@deadgoodwalks Yeah, but it sure is fun to really laugh out loud when you say something like that. My parents were both British and there is always that dry sarcastic humor I pick up on.
Why are the old tombstones in this cemetery more legible than similar ones in the USA? Most of the ones here are pretty much wiped clean by the elements.
I did a search and it appears he was 7 feet 9.3 inches tall. Astley Circus exaggerated his height. "Even though doctors were able to confirm that Frederick was seven foot nine, papers still claimed that he was more than eight foot tall".
Agree with a lot of comments, shame the cemetery is not looked after. I don't know how the laws in England works (i live in New Zealand). Can't p d (periodic detention) workers tidy it up under the supervision of guards?! Or people who get dention time for petty crime instead of prison could work off their detention time tidying the cemeteries. Or do cemeteries come under the local councils for up keep in England?
Frederick Kempster is a distant relative. His grandfather & my great grandfather were brothers. Long story, but due to a death in the family just before my side of the family emigrated to Australia, Frederick's side decided to remain in England. Wonderful to see his grave. Thank you.
Such a shame that no one takes care of these graves/cemeteries.
I love the way nature is reclaiming the land, but it is obvious that some maintenance is done otherwise the grass would be much higher.
@My World My Way Helen Richard the 3rds grave would have been lost long ago without the car park protecting it
The living arn't looked after ,the dead have no chance .
It must be tended to albeit not much. If that was left unmolested for a few years the undergrowth would overwhelm the gravestones.
@@skeggyyou may be right but you can't be sure of. that if the car park was not laid, they may have built on it and discovered the body. That was still one hell of a long shot finding Richard. It was long believed his bones were thrown into a nearby river. It was laid there for 500 yrs undisturbed and then a dopey archeologist put a trowel into his skull.
Hi, great walk. Such a shame that it’s not all looked after. Breaks my heart to see graves yards over grown. Beautiful headstones as usual. It’s great that Fredericks grave is looked after. Thank you as always.
Thank you. Hopefully they keep up the maintenance, if not I'll go clean it up myself
The living are not looked after ,so many graves have no chance of being maintained.
It just needs someone with a weedwacker and some spare time.
@@stevenwade7466 The main reason is that the dead never complain.
@@sandgrownun66 Obviously you have never been to a saunce !!!!!!!

Thanks, usually don't say it out loud but it's always said in the mind
It's kinda scary to know that Mr. Kempsted died in 1918, and the tallest man that ever lived (Robert Wadlow) was born in 1918.
Another wonderful walk. I'm really enjoying binge watching your videos. Love from Hampshire x

I read that Robert Pershing Wadlow was buried in a piano case.. All they could find I imagen...
Creepy cemetery. After you shook out your trainer lol the speeded up part was surreal! 🤣🤣🤣
Uncanny to visualise those gigantic bones lying within the grave.
