      Love your videos 😀 when living in London in the 80s I worked as a cycle courier and very early one morning I came across the sight of men in hamzat suits ! I asked a workman at the barrier and he told me the road had subsided into a plague pit. On my return down the same road later in the evening everything was back to normal. I later learned that the same people employed for emergency underground repairs are also on call for these occasions. Apparently they earn a very good wage !

      It’s lovely to see that there are still tributes laid for the Winchester geese and other poor folk at crossbones. It warms me to know that those who were offered no honour in life or death in their own time, are honoured now, even if we don’t have all their names or stories.

    I’m from Illinois, and have been hunting for more information on my ancestor: Moses Lowman, who is buried in Bunhill. In my research, I was surprised to find that this cemetery was, seemingly, ‘in the middle of London’, but I could never find a video of the inside; the closest I’ve gotten was google Earth, in which I discovered the Quaker plot nearby and was heartbroken over how it seemed to be forgotten -- I appreciate your explanation as to why, and my heart is healed. Thank you so very much for this tour. (I was hoping you’d mention Moses among your notable burials, but I can understand why he’s not as well known.) 😊

    A friend of mine cleared old cemeteries for a living. His team were contracted to clear a so called plague and witch cemetery near a well known hospital. Most of his team had a rather dark sense of humour. They were provided amongst many tools with an axe. One of the team was making fun of the fact witches were supposed to be buried there. Before digging up the graves some headstones in the area had to be removed, and the guy who was mocking the dead started throwing his axe around. He aimed it at a particular stone, and after throwing it, one of his colleagues saw the axe hit the stone and fly back at the thrower with force. The axe buried itself in the throwers leg. The guy was taken to the hospital where he went through extensive treatment because of the graveyard having a plague pit.

    I love the way that London, of all the cities I’ve been to, never hides the fact that your life right now, is built on the bodies of those who came before. I know that it unsettles Americans in particular but in all honesty it’s probably true of many places in the US too, you just prefer to ignore it or pretend it’s not so. But even before the “pilgrim fathers” there were people, and people create settlements in certain areas for the same reasons….access to water, food, transport routes…..so populated areas tend to stay populated, and with life, comes death.

    My wife was researching her family tree and discovered Quaker relatives who were originally from North Yorkshire, near Stokesley. A prosperous farmer with several sons paid for 3 of them to be apprenticed in various trades in the Wrapping area of London. Their trades ranged from goldsmith to cheesemonger and many of their descendants were buried at Bunhill Fields. It was interesting to see the graveyard in your video. Thank you.

    • @stephenwhittaker4683
      @stephenwhittaker4683 7 месяцев назад

      I had not realised that I'd written Wrapping instead of Wapping. One of the relatives lived close to Wrapping Old Stairs and it must have been incredibly unhealthy as 2 or 3 of their children would die within days of each other and were taken to Bunhill Fields. They lost about 9 in total.

    The first main difference is about where the graves are exactly. Cemeteries are generally in neighborhoods while graveyards are often in or beside a church. In other words, graveyards are often on church property and cemeteries are generally not.

  • @amb163
    @amb163 Год назад +8

    Perfect video for this time of year! Informative and entertaining as always. The first cemetery's story makes me angry -- the church was essentially acting as pimps, profiting off the most vulnerable in society instead of helping them... then condemning them as not fit for "proper" burial. There are so many words I have for the bishop and none of them are pleasant.

    Love this channel! Just rec'd it to friends here in Arizona. By the way, I have to tell you: I did my own little dance in Westminster on the marble at Oliver Cromwell's gravesite (well, for everything except his head, which was buried in an unmarked grave by his descendants somewhere at Cambridge.) This was decades ago, and I was on crutches with part of one leg in a cast due to a broken foot, but when I found it I figured why not? So I did a little hopping one-footed dance right there; as I recall, his marker is on the wall rather than the floor, so I can't guarantee his bones were directly underfoot, but I hope so; horrible man. The kind docents at Westminster were not amused and I had eyes on me until I left; I did leave a good donation, though, not that they knew it. Anyway, just thought you'd find that amusing.
    Thank you for creating such fantastic video tours; I've loved every one I've watched, and if I ever get back to London I will *definitely* sign up for as many of your live tours as I can. Hope your baby's doing well and growing like a weed! :)

    Congratulations on your little one. I must say, I love the old and unusual graveyards. There is something very sweet and genuine to be deciphered on the monuments and gravestones from a time when many people actually authored their own epitaphs.
    These days there are just plaques with the name and dates…and maybe “beloved Mother etc.”. Many of the older ones tell a great deal more than that, and give you a real sense of who the people were, and what they were proud of.
    Thank you for this lovely little jaunt through these unique resting places. No doubt I would have found myself in good company in the Non Conformist Cemetery. It was nice to see Blake’s headstone, and the offerings of coins still arriving. Wishing you a happy Samhain.🖤🇨🇦

    All of your videos make me want to go back to London. I visited there in 2016. My adult son took a tour of Trinity college in Dublin, so we decided to make it into a vacation. Sadly, even tho driving (renting a car) probably saved some time, but the distances in the UK made it logistically impossible for us to visit everywhere we wanted in 12 days. We did get to see some cool things, like Rosslyn Chapel, the Titanic exhibit in Belfast, the Warner Brothers studio tour (I am a massive fan of Harry Potter), and the Doctor Who experience in Cardiff. We only drove past a few other places, but didn't have time to visit it all.

When I was little, my favorite Halloween costume was a clown costume that my mom made for me. I probably would have worn it every day if she'd let me. And when I had chicken pox, a family friend who was a well-known clown came over and sat by my bed and talked to me to keep me calm so mom could take my temperature. I've never found them creepy, even in scary movies where they're meant to be creepy. Lol

    Crossbones was also the burial ground for Suicides found in the River Thames as in the past Suicides were forbidden internment in Consegrated ground !! It's mentioned in one of Dickens Novels!!

    "If you're interested in a video on..."
    YES.
    Doesn't matter the topic, I could listen to your stories for hours!
    Edit: forgot to mention - I wonder if future tourguides will talk about Felix the Huddersfield station cat and her long and beloved history in the strange internet world, I sure hope they gave her a memorial somewhere. If anyone deserves a spot in Ilford it would be Felix!

    11:31 simon reminds me of the story of unsinkable sam who survived 3 different sinkings. ok while writing this comment, i searched it up and yes unsinkable sam had 3 different names from the multiple different vessles he occupied, oskar, sam, and simon. What a legend.
