  • Опубликовано: 15 июн 2022
  • Join me on a Sunday morning as I explore the graveyard of St Mary Magdalen Church in Mortlake and look for the tomb of Richard Burton which has a window in it!
    St Mary Magdalen Roman Catholic Church, Mortlake, is a Roman Catholic church in North Worple Way, Mortlake, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The church is dedicated to Jesus' companion Mary Magdalene.
    The church building, in Gothic Revival style, was designed by Gilbert Blount, architect to the first Archbishop of Westminster, Nicholas Wiseman, and dates from 1852.
    The church's first parish priest, Fr John Wenham, was a convert from the Oxford Movement,[1] who had studied at Magdalen College, Oxford, and had been an Anglican army chaplain in Ceylon.
    Mausoleum of Sir Richard and Lady Burton:
    The cemetery includes a Grade II* listed tent-shaped mausoleum of Carrara marble and Forest of Dean stone,[13] containing the tombs of the Victorian explorer Sir Richard Burton (1821-1890) and his wife, Isabel, Lady Burton (née Arundell; 1831-1896), who designed it;[2] she also erected the memorial stained-glass window to Burton, which is next to the lady chapel in the church.
    Comte de Vezlo Mausoleum:
    The cemetery includes another mausoleum, commemorating the very young Comte de Vezlo, Guilaume Henri (1894-1901). A plaque near the mauseolum's entrance also commemorates his mother, Annette Rosamonde Blasio, the Comtesse de Vezlo, who died in 1938.
    The architect is not known.

    One of the coolest tombs I have ever seen! Loved watching this! Very interesting to see how the coffins are often out in the open in the mausoleums and crypts over there, don't see that here.

    I am always intrigued by the artwork that goes into these mausoleums and grave markers. What is sad, however, is that so many of these graves are overgrown and forgotten. Makes me realize how much I do not want to be buried. Just cremate me and throw me into the sea 😂. I actually have my son’s ashes on my bedroom dresser so that I can visit him every day and night.

  • @chrischibnall593
    @chrischibnall593 10 месяцев назад

    I'm not sure where the door is for access: apparently there used to be an electrical mechanism that made the temple bells tinkle as you walked inside. You can still see electrical wires, and I think the battery may have been in the black box you can see behind the coffin on the left-hand side. The wreaths under glass domes seem to be a feature of 19th century Welsh cemeteries, so I think they may have been sent by people in Wales.
