Silent lay the dead, save for their names, names that live on, generation after generation, the only true immortality. But then, sometimes the line ends, there are no more generations and then there are only the names. Even memory has a time to live and then to die, dust blows in the wind and is gone. Stone on stone makes a Temple, but Sacred Places need Souls to keep them sacred. Stone on stone falls as surely as the living and the names. The grass grows on, covering the disturbed earth, trees grow tall in the neglect, the wild seeks always to return to the places of Man. Nature, the only true immortality. Walk softly, you who venture in these places, the neglected Holy and the forgotten graves, walk softly and do no harm, comes the night, the favor may be returned.
Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo. Shovel them under and let me work- I am the grass; I cover all. And pile them high at Gettysburg And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun. Shovel them under and let me work. Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor: What place is this? Where are we now? I am the grass. Let me work.
What a lovely church. It should be cleaned up and used for open air services in the spring and summer. It could even be used for weddings and Christenings, all surrounded by God's beautiful nature.
The mausoleum that you discovered in Killaloan cemetery, about two miles from Clonmel, Co. Tipperary, was erected by the Osbourne Beauclerk family, Dukes of St. Albans, England. Nearby Annerville Hse., was their Irish seat, owning all the lands around, through which the river Suir flows. Sir Charles Beauclerk, curator of the King Charles II, museum in London, is one of the last remaining members of that particular line. He does not use the title, and is a well-known author. The mausoleum is empty as, due to some foolish youths in the 1960s, broke into it , thinking that they were going to find fabulous treasure there! The local authority immediately removed the coffins from their resting niches and interred them in the cemetery outside. Perhaps the bones seen in the film are those of a wild animal that wandered in there to die, as the local authority would not leave human remains lying around. And, of course, the coffins of the super wealthy would have been made to last, especially overground. That is a very ancient place and would have had a pre-Reformation church building there prior to the old one, now standing abandoned. Catholics continued to bury their dead there, resulting in a Protestant area and a Catholic area, divided by a hedge. That was a common practice after the Reformation, a convenient "us" and "them" arrangement.
Wow Pat that's some really great information there, I could find nothing really online why oh why do people vandalise such places, now I'm all for getting look inside if I'm able to do, without causing damage, I've seen this way too often, I hope they got caught, I'll pin this coffin here so everyone can read it, you're a star ❤❤❤
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Thank you, Sue for your acknowledgement, and glad you enjoyed it. I was looking at a documentary on BBC about two years ago by Sue Worseley on King Charles II and just coming to the end , she visited that museum to him in London, and met the curator, Charles Beauclerk. Of course, I knew immediately who he was by the name "Beauclerk". I sent him an email, enquiring if he were related to the St. Alban's Annerville House family. He replied immediately and asked about Annerville and how it was getting on as he had spent many summer holidays there as a teenager. We had many long chats, as he is a most unassuming person, and was delighted to meet somebody from the area as he was writing a book about the family and needed some info. etc. I put him in touch with the county museum and library where the photo album of his ancestors is deposited. By the way, the river Anner meets the Suir just a few yards from where you and friend were standing. Do you know the song: "She Lived Beside the Anner"? Lovey song by Charles Kickham and you'll find it on RUclips. Did you visit Clonmel and its beautiful surroundings. Or, as it is known in old Irish: "Cluain Geal Meala Na Feile." Na Feile means Of The Welcomes. Happy hunting!
That rabbit was definitely a pet at 1 time. He/she has a nice shelter & plenty of grass to eat… thank you Sue for another great interesting informative video. 👍👍👍☘️☘️❤️
Sue,,,your video's show how much you've improved your technic. This Cemetery is beautiful and you show us all how grand it is! Do be careful and God bless ya. And thanks for putting up with the weather to share this with us.
That church's ruins are spectacularly beautiful. Heart wrenchingly so. I'd love to have a wee house built inside of it. What a beautiful place. The rabbit is indeed a strange thing. That is most definitely a domesticated dwarf rabbit. I used to have 198 rabbits back in the mid 1990s. The bad Smell is probably the rabbit urine.
Thanks Timothy, that's my dream to build a house from a church ruins but I think my chance has passed me by, it was a must smell in there, I had a bunny very like this fella, he was like a pet dog, he had a lead and loved walking around, as he got older he'd walk himself in the garden and come when called, he unfortunately injured his back and became paralysed but I kept him even though vet wanted to put him down, I used to have to bath hum a few times a day to keep him clean and he stayed a happy little bunny for ages until he died❤💔
There is something so wonderful about seeing the over grown church . Ireland is beautiful. I am also hooked a show from Ireland as well. Mrs. Browns boys . I cry laughing watching that show . Anyways keep the beautiful scenery and cemeteries coming .
Hi Sue! This has to be one of the most photogenic ruined churches in Ireland (and that's saying something). I wasn't sure what the vaulted structure could be but by braving its passageways (and resident rabbit) you solved the mystery. I loved the angel carving on the 1760s headstone. 🇦🇺 🇮🇪
Thank you Sue and Irish Eyes. What a beautiful country side. I can imagine the story’s these people could tell if they could . Must be some kind of small town nearby. The whole setting and atmosphere kind of remind me of the movie Weathering Heights, beautiful yet a bit haunting. Thank you two for making the trip out there. Paul- St Petersburg, Fl
What a beautiful place and the bunny is definitely a sharp contrast to the serenity, what a gift! And the daffodils blooming, wonder how many years they have come and gone. Incredible place and history! Thank you!
Daffodils are blooming ! They won't be here in Wisconsin USA for another 6 weeks or more. Awesome cemetery!!. Spooky sad remains laying in the open. I wonder who they were . Love that rabbit !!! Isn't he domestic .? He didn't run away too fast . Thanks to both of you for taking us exploring with you .
Beautiful ruins and cemetery. And the bunny was so cute but a strange place to be staying. The crypt was spooky and sad if it was vandalized. Thanks for sharing and RIP to all interred there. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Ahh Happy St Patrick’s Day to you too ☘️( Apologies, I had to tap that into my translator first 😄) Very relaxing & informative videos though Sue..subscribed👏🏼
Beautiful Breathtaking. Thanks for your videos the awesome history. My ancestors came from Scotland .I would think Ireland and Scotland are alike in many ways. GOD Bless...be safe. Stay out of the rain...
The verses on the tombstones of the Mandevilles (from @6:30) are from the Anglican hymn "All Things Bright and Beautiful" written by hymnwriter Cecil Frances Alexander. She was born in Dublin in 1818. Been enjoying your videos, Sue!
That is a beautiful old cemetery. So sad to see the old church in ruins. The rabbit reminds me of what we call in the states a checkered giant. Such a pretty bunny that someone abandoned. So sad but he sure looks pretty healthy.
Thank you again for the amazing trip through the beautiful church ruins, my heart also skipped when l heard you yelp over the rabbit. Little humor there with the black and white. Milton McGee
I hope "Irish Eyes" was 'smilin''. Seems to be two cemeteries, now & then, if you will. There's something to be said about burial &/or cremation, those above burials often seem to fall into disrepair and it is so very sad. I often see the table tombs where the body is in the ground, tomb above. Another great video Sue, the rabbit was beautiful.
Well done despite the wind just be carefull and take care.great presentation as usual,sad that the departed can’t be left alone to r.I.p. I’d say each chamber could house a husband and wife.The rabbit,mmmm,as you said probably lives there.Take care driving home may you arrive safe and sound.Keep up the great work both of you,👏👏👏👏from ballarat in Oz.
Absolutely beautiful ruins of the church. It dosnt look * ruined* to me. It's breathtaking. Your so lucky to live in such a wonderful place with so much history. I don't know why my great Nanna left.though I think she left because of fighting at the time. In her family they had a castle in Ireland, but there are many many castles lol. Beautiful gravestones .Thankyou serenity sue 💜💚
As old churches go in Ireland, it would not be classed as "ancient", but probably from the early 19th century. You'll be glad to know that on deconsecration as a Christian place of worship, all artefacts were removed and not allowed to rot there. These, including a beautifully carved wooden pulpit, windows, etc., were removed to Old St. Mary's, Church of Ireland, Mary St., Clonmel, and are deposited there.
The rabbit picked a less than enticing den but so glad he showed himself as much as he did. Spectacular cemetery, grounds and church ruins. The wind was something else.
One of the coolest stones I ever found was in an old Quaker cemetery in Pennsylvania near the Brandywine battlefield (American war of independence). It’s simply stamped “ye hessian, 1777”. I also found a primitive stone for “Adam who dyed 1704”. 1704 in America is pretty old! There’s a lot of colonial graveyards around the Philadelphia region. I found the grave of the man who rung the liberty bell when we gained independence from England. Just really neat historical graves. My mother in law and myself spend hours scouring these old graveyards. My kids love it too because they love history.
Beautiful church, not as old as some. Too bad the inside was overgrown with ivy. I bet there was more to see . Thanks Sue and IE! That domestic rabbit he hopped away calmly like "I don't know you." He didn't take off like"Eek! A human!"
Wonderful place. Thank u ! Mausoleum was very scary but super cool. Loved the bunny. He was cute. Now you have to carry peanuts, bird seed and carrots lol 🇺🇸🧚🏻♀️
What is it about rabbits and cemeteries? The moment I saw the little bunny as you were going into the crypt, I knew someone would get a fright before the video was over. Many, many years ago, on a sunny autumn day, I was walking around the small country cemetery where my maternal grandparents and great grandparents are buried. I was listening to the dry leaves crunch underfoot as I looked at the various stones. It's a relatively "new" cemetery by Irish standards as the oldest grave only dates to 1895. I stopped in front of a companion monument (double-stone for a husband and wife) and heard a rustling on the other side of the tombstone. I thought someone was getting up before judgment day, but it was only a small cottontail that I frightened as much as he did me. We both went quickly went our separate ways. After my heart slowed back down, I had a good chuckle.
Haha that's a lovely story and it made me laugh, the bunny here I had presumed had already scampered awY but nope he must of back tracked into the crypt and gave me such a fright, I presume lots of vegetation for him there 😀
What a wonderful graveyard.My guess is the rabbit is either an escapee from a local garden or someone put him there because they did not want him anymore .Thinking the walls would at least protect him from foxes and he would have places to sleep.Which he has.Poor thing,but he has plenty of grass and dandylions to eat so he won’t get hungry.I am sure he’s fine !looks healthy enough and he’s been there long enough not to go to people..The Crypt was really cool .I think your right it does look like there are some remains in there.Because it only has a gate entrance the air would be in there all the wile and the coffins and the skeletons will disintegrate over time.It’s different to being buried or in an enclosed crypt.It was beautifully constructed inside with the arches..it always amazes me how they create those ,and it looks so gothic too.Both inside and out ..There was some amazing old headstones there too .Thank you for the adventure ..Love n Light to you both 🥰
So pleased I found your channel, very interesting to watch, will be following up on more of your videos as I love the history of churches and grave stones. The rabbit was not wild.
Thanks Mary, appreciate it, the bunny is a runaway I'd say, that or there was breeding with a wild one having said that he was nearly too tame to be 💯 wild ❤❤
Oh my word that is creepy. Fancy seeing bones in there.no way would i go in there.you are very brave.could it have been vandalised.oh yes Irish eyes has just said so.lucky he went along with you.take care.☘
A very beautiful spot on the face of this earth. What amazes me is that burials seem to be continuing in what seems to be an otherwise abandoned cemetery. Its a shame something can't be done with the church.
What an amazing place did you just come on it by accident. The window was just amazing and the tiles on the floor still there. The plant with the variegated leaves is cyclamen it would make a lovely show when it flowers. I've a sister in law that lives in Clonmel there is St Patrick's Well on the outskirts you can see the water bubbling up its a lovely spot. I hope that rabbit doesn't get taken by a fox it seemed pretty tame really. A shame that vault is not closed off. Irish Eyes you go in first😂 It must be still used as there were a couple of garden chairs against the wall near the entrance. Amazing place and so much history.
Thank you Sue for another wonderful video. The church was gorgeous. The bunny was a surprise lol. Maybe someone dropped it off. He looked quite healthy so must be doing well. 🥰
Years ago I went with a neighbor to an old cemetery way out of town, she was looking for an old relative for family tree info. Way in the back, we found an open hole...so we went to look. About 6 ft. down was about a third of a blue coffin. No fresh dirt anywhere, no tire tracks...nothing. It was as if they lowered the casket, started to fill in and just quit. We decided to report it in the nearest town. WE got the 3rd degree. Why were you there, who are you ladies, where are you from etc. etc. We finally got the deputy to go back with us (in seperate cars, he followed us). When we showed him...he came unglued. Soon there were people coming from all over. We were then told to leave and not to come back. A city councilman even followed us back to the FM road and watched us turn and start home. It was all very strange...we never did go back, and we never did receive any info. about anything. (they had our names, id, drivers license, car plates etc. Talk about feeling creepy...we sure did.
Oh no, that's very very strange and I'd of been scared too, wonder what that was about?? Maybe a grave robber stopped half way through and they didn't want to say🤔 ye shouldn't have been treated like that
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Maybe so, but no extra dirt anywhere, so would have been awhile back. The casket looked new, still shiny etc. Whatever was going on it freaked us out....and then to question us like they did. I would like to have known what all finally happened.
I am very pleased to see that the churchyard has been cleaned up. We visited many years ago to see the graves of the Mandeville family, of Anner Castle, and there were so many waist-high stinging nettles that it was difficult to get there. You don’t happen to know where the Mandeville family that lived at Ballydine Castle are buried do you? Ballydine Castle, in Tipperary, no longer exists (although it was pretty large) but there must be family graves somewhere,
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Your video has been very helpful to me, in that I have been able to determine dates that I had not known. In one case the individual called himself by a middle name and I hadn’t known that. So thank you. Find out where those from Ballydine Castle are buried, and video that, and you will have saved me the cost of a flight from the opposite side of the world!😊
Thank you Sue and Irish eyes, what an interesting place this is. I havn't a clue as to what that building actually was, but it did look like there were some bones there. Beautiful scenery and the Church ruins were interesting. 💕🇦🇺
@@SerenitySueGraveyards oh I know it would me too not to mention it's white in a dark place in a crypt , yes 😅I may of had a runaway before I realized lol.
Omg no way bits of bones left behind that’s messed up but nice to see no graffiti like here in Essex the local yobs wreak damage on everything fantastic content greetings from the uk 🇬🇧 I subscribe to you 👍🇮🇹🦊🐾🍀
Thank you for the work in and entertaining me. Our cemeteries here in Australia are full of bunny rabbits.... To the point that they have to be culled at times. Unfortunately.
Enjoyed another one of your videos. The highlight was the rabbit. I think the corpses where probably vandalized and unfortunately wildlife probably played a major part in destroying what was left.
Both of you guys are much more brave than I. That huge place with emptied niches, still has something, residual energy maybe. I don't know. I know that I get freaked at hospitals. The same beds that people died on are still in use, and sometimes the person who died remains, even though the body was taken away.
Hi Charlie, I believe in all of that too but I don't really dwell too much on it, I've had spiritual energy before and once it's good energy it's OK x x
Neetoo 👍😸💗🐯 When you spoke of the Church of Ireland, I had to look that up ,I did not understand that it separated with England at that time. Or succeeded I would say from the Roman Catholic Church,
Silent lay the dead, save for their names, names that live on, generation after generation, the only true immortality. But then, sometimes the line ends, there are no more generations and then there are only the names. Even memory has a time to live and then to die, dust blows in the wind and is gone. Stone on stone makes a Temple, but Sacred Places need Souls to keep them sacred. Stone on stone falls as surely as the living and the names. The grass grows on, covering the disturbed earth, trees grow tall in the neglect, the wild seeks always to return to the places of Man. Nature, the only true immortality. Walk softly, you who venture in these places, the neglected Holy and the forgotten graves, walk softly and do no harm, comes the night, the favor may be returned.
Wow, that is beautiful
Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo.
Shovel them under and let me work-
I am the grass; I cover all.
And pile them high at Gettysburg
And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun.
Shovel them under and let me work.
Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?
Where are we now?
I am the grass.
Let me work.
Is this a poem or a verse from one? Beautiful

Beautiful scenery surrounding the cemetery. Sad to see a crypt look in such disarray. Some beautiful stones.
It's so beautiful there 😍 pity about the crypt, I can't understand what's happened 😢
One of the coolest stones I ever found was in an old Quaker cemetery in Pennsylvania near the Brandywine battlefield (American war of independence). It’s simply stamped “ye hessian, 1777”. I also found a primitive stone for “Adam who dyed 1704”. 1704 in America is pretty old! There’s a lot of colonial graveyards around the Philadelphia region. I found the grave of the man who rung the liberty bell when we gained independence from England. Just really neat historical graves. My mother in law and myself spend hours scouring these old graveyards. My kids love it too because they love history.
That's brilliant that history you find and great your children appreciate it too 😀
Beautiful church, not as old as some. Too bad the inside was overgrown with ivy. I bet there was more to see .
Thanks Sue and IE!
That domestic rabbit he hopped away calmly like "I don't know you." He didn't take off like"Eek! A human!"
No he was friendly, just didn't want to be touched lol
Wonderful place. Thank u ! Mausoleum was very scary but super cool. Loved the bunny. He was cute. Now you have to carry peanuts, bird seed and carrots lol 🇺🇸🧚🏻♀️
Oh I need a bigger bag Linda lol
What is it about rabbits and cemeteries? The moment I saw the little bunny as you were going into the crypt, I knew someone would get a fright before the video was over. Many, many years ago, on a sunny autumn day, I was walking around the small country cemetery where my maternal grandparents and great grandparents are buried. I was listening to the dry leaves crunch underfoot as I looked at the various stones. It's a relatively "new" cemetery by Irish standards as the oldest grave only dates to 1895. I stopped in front of a companion monument (double-stone for a husband and wife) and heard a rustling on the other side of the tombstone. I thought someone was getting up before judgment day, but it was only a small cottontail that I frightened as much as he did me. We both went quickly went our separate ways. After my heart slowed back down, I had a good chuckle.
Haha that's a lovely story and it made me laugh, the bunny here I had presumed had already scampered awY but nope he must of back tracked into the crypt and gave me such a fright, I presume lots of vegetation for him there 😀
What a wonderful graveyard.My guess is the rabbit is either an escapee from a local garden or someone put him there because they did not want him anymore .Thinking the walls would at least protect him from foxes and he would have places to sleep.Which he has.Poor thing,but he has plenty of grass and dandylions to eat so he won’t get hungry.I am sure he’s fine !looks healthy enough and he’s been there long enough not to go to people..The Crypt was really cool .I think your right it does look like there are some remains in there.Because it only has a gate entrance the air would be in there all the wile and the coffins and the skeletons will disintegrate over time.It’s different to being buried or in an enclosed crypt.It was beautifully constructed inside with the arches..it always amazes me how they create those ,and it looks so gothic too.Both inside and out ..There was some amazing old headstones there too .Thank you for the adventure ..Love n Light to you both 🥰
Thanks Christine ❤️
This is one of my favourite things to do also.

Beautiful place.... Really lovely♥️♥️♥️♥️
Wasn't it gorgeous 😍
Would just like to say your videos simply the best! Please make more
Hi Guy, I've lots here on my channel x
@@SerenitySueGraveyards cant wait to see them
Thanks Guy
So pleased I found your channel, very interesting to watch, will be following up on more of your videos as I love the history of churches and grave stones. The rabbit was not wild.
Thanks Mary, appreciate it, the bunny is a runaway I'd say, that or there was breeding with a wild one having said that he was nearly too tame to be 💯 wild ❤❤
Me being a yank love to see the old Graves and churches of Europe. So much history
Thanks Michael, hope you enjoyed ❤
Thank You.
Very welcome ❤
Oh my word that is creepy. Fancy seeing bones in there.no way would i go in there.you are very brave.could it have been vandalised.oh yes Irish eyes has just said so.lucky he went along with you.take care.☘
It's hard to know what exactly happened here to be honest the place is hauntingly beautiful 😍
The scenery is beautiful
Gorgeous 😍
Another great video thank you for sharing ❤
Thanks Tammy ❤️
I agree how lovely the church is.❤ the floor is really worth cleaning
Yes, it is stunning
I love the writing on the 1700s graves thanks both
So beautiful 😍
A very beautiful spot on the face of this earth. What amazes me is that burials seem to be continuing in what seems to be an otherwise abandoned cemetery. Its a shame something can't be done with the church.
Oh it's just such a beautiful area and it is a shame ❤
What an amazing place did you just come on it by accident. The window was just amazing and the tiles on the floor still there. The plant with the variegated leaves is cyclamen it would make a lovely show when it flowers. I've a sister in law that lives in Clonmel there is St Patrick's Well on the outskirts you can see the water bubbling up its a lovely spot. I hope that rabbit doesn't get taken by a fox it seemed pretty tame really. A shame that vault is not closed off. Irish Eyes you go in first😂 It must be still used as there were a couple of garden chairs against the wall near the entrance. Amazing place and so much history.
Thanks Beverley for the information it's a stunning place, I did see a sign for the well but just had no time ❤❤
@@SerenitySueGraveyards yes so much to see so little time. Forgot to mention I wonder if that name was Crotty.
I think it was Crotty alright ❤
I think the Bart for Sir Thomas Osborne might be an abbreviation of Baronet. Great video Sue, thank you
Oh wow, good call there ❤❤ thanks very much
Thank you Sue for another wonderful video. The church was gorgeous. The bunny was a surprise lol. Maybe someone dropped it off. He looked quite healthy so must be doing well. 🥰
Hey Cathi, yes the bunny was an unusual visitor but definitely happy with his new home x x
Really enjoyed this one
Thanks Cindy ❤️
So sad to see so much history being overlooked and overgrown
Please someone who lives nearby restore this beautiful resting place.
Unfortunately I see this a lot x
Years ago I went with a neighbor to an old cemetery way out of town, she was looking for an old relative for family tree info. Way in the back, we found an open hole...so we went to look. About 6 ft. down was about a third of a blue coffin. No fresh dirt anywhere, no tire tracks...nothing. It was as if they lowered the casket, started to fill in and just quit. We decided to report it in the nearest town. WE got the 3rd degree. Why were you there, who are you ladies, where are you from etc. etc. We finally got the deputy to go back with us (in seperate cars, he followed us). When we showed him...he came unglued. Soon there were people coming from all over. We were then told to leave and not to come back. A city councilman even followed us back to the FM road and watched us turn and start home. It was all very strange...we never did go back, and we never did receive any info. about anything. (they had our names, id, drivers license, car plates etc. Talk about feeling creepy...we sure did.
Oh no, that's very very strange and I'd of been scared too, wonder what that was about?? Maybe a grave robber stopped half way through and they didn't want to say🤔 ye shouldn't have been treated like that
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Maybe so, but no extra dirt anywhere, so would have been awhile back. The casket looked new, still shiny etc. Whatever was going on it freaked us out....and then to question us like they did. I would like to have known what all finally happened.
I am very pleased to see that the churchyard has been cleaned up. We visited many years ago to see the graves of the Mandeville family, of Anner Castle, and there were so many waist-high stinging nettles that it was difficult to get there. You don’t happen to know where the Mandeville family that lived at Ballydine Castle are buried do you? Ballydine Castle, in Tipperary, no longer exists (although it was pretty large) but there must be family graves somewhere,
I'm not sure to be honest, I'm glad it has been cleaned, it's such a beautiful place
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Your video has been very helpful to me, in that I have been able to determine dates that I had not known. In one case the individual called himself by a middle name and I hadn’t known that. So thank you. Find out where those from Ballydine Castle are buried, and video that, and you will have saved me the cost of a flight from the opposite side of the world!😊
What a beautiful peaceful place to be laid to rest for eternity !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
❤❤❤
Amazing! Sad the church is a ruin now, very mysterious about the bones in the crypt 😱.
Thank you for sharing guys another very interesting Vlog. 🙏🏻
Wasn't the whole place just gorgeous, so scenic ❤ they crypt was a bit spooky and strange
what a lovely graveyard.And what a georgeous rabbit, i want that rabbit LOL xxx
I did too Tom but he kept running off, seems he's happy there now ❤❤
@@SerenitySueGraveyards just hope a fox does not attack and eat him/her xxx
Thank you Sue and Irish eyes, what an interesting place this is. I havn't a clue as to what that building actually was, but it did look like there were some bones there. Beautiful scenery and the Church ruins were interesting. 💕🇦🇺
Hi Liz, thanks so much ❤️
Literally going down the rabbit hole👌
Hehe, It was😳
That church must have been lovely.
Let the ghost bunny get him first 😂❤
All these open crypts with dirt inside. 👀 dust thou art dust shall thou return. Ireland is so gorgeous .
That bunny gave me more a fright than anything I've ever seen before 😅
@@SerenitySueGraveyards oh I know it would me too not to mention it's white in a dark place in a crypt , yes 😅I may of had a runaway before I realized lol.
@lightningjac5640 😅😅😅
Great video
Thank you ❤❤
Lovely
❤❤❤
Beautiful church so sad it's abandoned

It was stunning Lauren 😍
Omg no way bits of bones left behind that’s messed up but nice to see no graffiti like here in Essex the local yobs wreak damage on everything fantastic content greetings from the uk 🇬🇧 I subscribe to you 👍🇮🇹🦊🐾🍀
Thanks John, oh I have seen some graffiti but thankfully not much at all ❤❤
WOW very interesting super kool ,1st class great info.,,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.
Thanks John ❤️
Oh I hope the rabbit finds his home bless
What a find! Did you feel scared at all? I was! Thanks for sharing. Beautiful graves
Oh I did for sure, most things don't but this did
Thank you for the work in and entertaining me. Our cemeteries here in Australia are full of bunny rabbits.... To the point that they have to be culled at times. Unfortunately.
Ahh thanks so much Jason, we don't get to see many rabbits here this was an added bonus 😊
Enjoyed another one of your videos. The highlight was the rabbit. I think the corpses where probably vandalized and unfortunately wildlife probably played a major part in destroying what was left.
I think you may be right 💔
Both of you guys are much more brave than I. That huge place with emptied niches, still has something, residual energy maybe. I don't know. I know that I get freaked at hospitals. The same beds that people died on are still in use, and sometimes the person who died remains, even though the body was taken away.
Hi Charlie, I believe in all of that too but I don't really dwell too much on it, I've had spiritual energy before and once it's good energy it's OK x x
A beautiful church and graveyard
This one is definitely one of my favourites 😍
A black and white Rex bunny! Indeed a pet stock.
Definitely
Boa noite querida este cemitério ainda funciona
I'm not really sure to be honest, God Bless ❤❤❤
Sorry all I could think when the bunny appeared was, Monty Python and The Holy Grail!!! Just a little bunny Aaa!!!😂🐇😂 Classic!!!
❤️🕊️🪦🕊️❤️
🤣 that bunnys always on my mind, now thats whats in my head 🐰
Hi Serenity Sue Absolutely gorgeous
Thanks Heather ❤️
Neetoo 👍😸💗🐯
When you spoke of the Church of Ireland, I had to look that up ,I did not understand that it separated with England at that time. Or succeeded I would say from the Roman Catholic Church,
