@@GraveVisitations what I don’t understand is how people from 16/1700 had this kind of money thouse headstones and carvings never mind the statues would have cost a lot of money
I am kind of speechless. It does look like they are using it as a storeroom. They have now been caught. They should be ashamed of themselves. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We should all write letters slamming their behavior and telling them to rectify it immediately!
I agree. Maybe whoever family that the deceased is related to or the caretaker of the cemetery can clean it up it is after all somebody final resting place. I'm sure they wouldn't want to be done that way
@@turbo.panther Well I can tell what smart a$$ generation you are from. The ones that can't start a sentence without using the word "So" in front of it. If Grave Visitations would be so kind as to give me the address of the church diocese, this church and graveyard belong to, I would be pleased to write the letter(s) to find out how a family masoleum was turned into a storeroom. I am in the US and don't remember the location and 6 digit code that is used in that part of the world. But get me the information and I will be glad to cc: everyone on this thread. I have no qualms with that. Maybe if you are local or in the country you could help out. Find a solution instead of dribbling BS that no one wants to read. You just detract from a fine RUclipsr! Enough said. 🤯
@@GraveVisitationsWell you need to show it to them and please, do a formal complaint about the state of the mausoleum and how its been shamefully used. Thank you for your video.
I'm sure that family didn't build and pay for their expensive mausoleum for their loved ones just to be used as a storage shed. Absolutely unacceptable!!!
@GraveVisitations Let us know what happens, won't you? It would be great to have a follow-up. It's bad enough when somebody desecrates a grave, but for the church in whose care the Winter family rest to abuse their resting place and treat it as a shed is utterly disgraceful. Shame on them and we'll done to you both for highlighting it.
@@MrPlownds26That’s been the white native persons downfall-thinking there’s someone just like them in power.!! There’s not a single white leader in the whole British isles ffs.
Beautiful old church and graveyard, well cared for. There is no excuse for using a mausoleum as a storage room, completely unacceptable! Someone is either too lazy, or too cheap 😮 to build a modest storage shed on the church grounds to store all of that crap. It would be great if, the church leadership could be persuaded to build a storage space, clean up and restore the inside of the mausoleum to its original condition, and put a good lock 🔐 on the door or gate. Thank you very much GV and Sue, for another great walking tour. Take care. 😊
I must apologize GV, 😪 I just now realized that you responded to my comments. You are welcome. Let us hope that things do change. Thank you very much for getting back to me. Before, RUclips would notify me if someone, such as yourself, responded to any comments that may make. Lately, RUclips has not been doing that. So, I have to check back on any videos that I have watched after a couple of days, to see if anyone has responded to any of my comments. So, if I am a few days in responding to either Sue or yourself, that is what is going on. Sorry about that. 😢
Many times, the Church numbers are dwindling and the cemetery grounds are kept by a separate entity that oversees burial. The church sign was to inform visitors or funeral processions during burials or special events.
It’s very disrespectful to see the way it’s kept 😢they once had a life now all are forgotten,Thank you GV and Sue for paying them tribute and remembering them I really appreciate all you guys hard work God bless 🙏🏼🥰🥰
The Winters paid for the church to be built and this is the thanks they get! Truly disgraceful GV. Those skulls with bones are gorgeous, and I always think of bathtubs when I look at those stacked headstones. Really enjoyed this walkabout. Thank you. Deb of Oz XXX
Hi Deb it's sad what people did in life is just forgotten. I'd like to see an ancestor of the family mausoleum find out what happened and solve this big mess. Thank you for watching and supporting 🙏
Sad state of that mausoleum. The mausoleum belongs to the family, whether or not they're dead or alive. Hope something is done about it. Good tour guys! 👍
So sad to use this mausoleum as a janitors closet 😮. Probably no relatives left to complain about it. It is a beautiful mausoleum too. Thanks for the tourGV💕
So sad to think that once vibrant, living people are just forgotten & now their sacred burial ground is just used for trash & storage. May their souls rest in peace. Thanks GV & Sue for showing us the good & the bad in the graveyard explorations.
It's heartbreaking that this beautiful mausoleum is used as a dumping ground!! So disrespectful and thoughtless. Beautiful cemetery and church. Enjoyed the tour, Thank You 👍
Even if these people were high and mighty and perhaps nasty, it’s no reason to use this place of family rest as a work shed. As you say, they should build a nice attractive utility shed and it could be done cheaply. If I live there I’d be happy to volunteer my time to build a nice shed. Kind Thanks for this Lovely visit to this beautiful church and cemetery. Many Blessings! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
How sad to see that Mausoleum used in that way. Surely to heaven there must be someone that could clean it up and restore it. It is sacrilegious. Best wishes GV.
England and London and Ireland, etc have such beautiful majestic monument grave stones and have no problem going inside the mosaliam like I like to see ,I really enjoy your graveyard adventures ❤❤
I missed the premier, but I’m glad that I’m watching now. The mausoleum is beautiful on the outside, too bad the inside is such a mess, whoever owns the cemetery needs to invest in a storage shed.
Very sad. I think that if the family have all died or moved away, the church could at least get some volunteers to help keep the mausoleum clean & in good repair. The reason there is a graveyard at the church is for the church to oversee its flock. To keep their parishioners safe and cared for. To see that the church can't/won't do the most minimal of upkeep on the mausoleum is very sad indeed.
I love watching your videos. This is the first one that has brought a tear to my eyes. This mausoleum is a disgrace and yes I agree with the people on this site. It needs to be bought to the attention of the rulers of this religious chapter. Families go to the expense of building a protective place for their family thinking all the family can be buried in the same place and be together and this is the outcome. Disgraceful and no excuse will do….they must be made clean this up. Even if their waiting for funding there is no excuse for this behaviour.!!!!
So sad to see the mausoleum treated in such a manner. I hope they will get this cleaned up. The dead are to be respected. Very nice cemetery and church. Thanks for sharing GV!

Hello Helen that is great to have the Irish connections 🇮🇪 of course contact me anytime when your here. I'll do my best for you. I wish you good health and happiness
Lovely looking mausoleum to see it stood the test of time only to be treated as a storage shed is pretty low. Shurely a cheap tin shed erected further away would have been more appropriate.
Was thinking how beautiful a graveyard. When you got to the Mausoleum it disgusted me to think the beauty outside and here was trash and other debris. 😢 How utterly sad.
I honestly felt so sad that the Winter’s mausoleum has been treated this way. The area is being kept it looks like, they must have money for maintenance, so they need to build a maintenance shed and quit being sacrelious. Very upsetting it’s good your videos bring these things to light ❤
Those graves are history and need to be preserved which they are trying to do. When I saw the cross bones I thought they were pirates 🤭, I like your videos and thank you for sharing them.
very sad to see the rubbish everywhere so disrespectful , loved the skull and crossbones with the laurel crown which means victory , the mausoleum was beautiful outside 😢
Thank you for the nice tour in the beautiful grounds around the church. A very disrespectful for the grounds people for the church, are towards people who are buried there. Such a shame and hopefully maybe they'll get their act together and build a shed and get that crap out out of that Crypt.
Thanks for this. Some rather interesting old stones, would love to see more of them. Sadly though that mausoleum; even if there are no family left iit should not be used as a storage shed. That is just completely disrespectful.
I agree very sad that their graves are covered with garbage,even if they built a shed to store things or if it’s no longer in used use the toilet as a store room ,just to clean their resting place up .the last burial wasn’t that long ago,1994?.Anyway another great video GV,safe travels to you and sue,god bless from ballarat in Oz,👋👋🙏🙏👍🇦🇺
Amazing work,thank you. I am a fan of graveyard walks. I used to live in Halifax, Nova Scotis, 🍁. We had some seriously old and unique Graves there, including people from the sinking of the Titanic. You can learn a lot just going for a walk. No walking at night though please.
What a travesty to use the mausoleum as a work shed! That is really desecration of a grave. How sad, and a church graveyard at that! Takes away from the beauty doesn’t it? Great videos GV, you and Sue have special hearts♥️
I just stumbled on your video, i agree with you that it is very sad to see graves in such a state. maybe as with my own family no one cares, or they may not have the financial means to get the work done. my own family has an historical private graveyard on a property once owned be my family, we need to gain permission to go on to the property but the graveyard has been overrun by cattle, all the gravestones have been knocked over as well as the sandstone blocks that used to cover the graves it is a real mess. i dont have the money to fix it. and no one else cares. Having historical significance you would think someone would be interested. Cheers for Tasmania Australia
A lovely Church & Graveyard And as previously mentioned by other viewers it’s such a shame the Mausoleum has been desecrated in that way It’s so disrespectful
Hi G V and Sue. I looked it up for you on the skull with a wreath and....Laurel wreaths are symbolic of accomplishment and victory over death or immortality.. There are also symbols of wings or lanterns as well, which have the same meaning of victory over death. Hope that sheds some light on that for you ( no pun intended) . Thanks for the tour as always.
I love that little crypt, it looks like a mini sized medieval castle. It’s shameful how they have trashed the inside of it. That’s so disrespectful to those buried there. I hope they get reported and made to clean it up inside it. If they wanted or needed a building for a storage area they should build one somewhere around that old church.
I can only imagine what the peoples life was like for the people that were born in 16, 17 and 18 hundreds.These old cemeteries are really amazing.Thank you for bring us along.
The leaf head piece was called a crown of Laurels. Thank you as always for a beautiful but sad story. I don't understand how something like this happens. To be this hateful is beyond understanding. Again Thank you for your time and hard work. Peace and Love.
WONDERFUL TOUR GUYS WHAT A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE CEMETERY LOVE THE WAY YOU READ OUT ALL THE NAMES ON THE HEADSTONES AS YOU PASSED THEM VERY RESPECTFUL OF YOU THESE PEOPLE WERE ALIVE AT ONE POINT GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN AS FOR THE MAUSOLEUM IM LOST FOR WORDS I JUST HOPE THEY FIX IT UP AGAIN ITS SUCH A SHAME THANKS AGAIN FOR A GREAT VIDEO MAY ALL OF THESE SOULS FIND PEACE 🙏🌹🌹🌹
Thanks Margaret it is important to read the names that is the whole point of doing this to keep these people remembered 🙏 I do hope they tidy it up and show some respect
Why is Management allowing such sacrilegious disrespect? There may not be Winter family members left to complain, however the responsibility of clearing away all that storage-junk belongs to the graveyard' management. This is shamefully, unforgivable & atrocious!
My mouth hung open in shock at seeing the Sanderson-Winter family being so disrespected! It just makes me so sad to see that. To use a family burial area as a storage/rubbish shed is beyond words! The family should be notified, & the owners held responsible to restore it to its former conition.
You and Serenity Sue should have this featured in the newspapers and the television news channels. The Reverend /Rector of that church should be told that it is wrong for them to be storing stuff on people's graves. Even religious people are so disrespectful nowadays. By the way, St. Paul was speaking to the people of Athens, Greece, the Athenians, pronounced ' Uh - thee - nee - uhnz.'
Susie Jakes, I agree. All of the people who live in that area should be made aware of the situation. If those responsible are publicly embarrassed for what they have done, they will have to correct their disgraceful conduct.
Thanks for sharing another beautiful location with us. 👍 And there's no reason why they couldn't build or buy a small storage shed, its disgraceful what they've done there. Show the church folks the comments here on your video, and maybe that'll be enough to open their eyes! The lion headstone is pretty cool, especially with the feet under it. 😎 I don't know what to say about the skull and crossbones on those other 2 graves. Was that perhaps a standard practice at the time, or were they poisoned.... who knows. 🤔 Pete 🇨🇦
The Samuel(s)Winter'ses Family deserve much more respect than they are being shown here! If they were as wealthy as you suggest they were, they paid a pretty penny for that mosolium structure to house their bones, and I am sure that at the time, the price that they paid for the assurance of having their bones protected and maintained was likely more than agreeable to the Church at the time. The church would have coveted the money that these people donated. I would also go so far as to say that their family likely provided much money for the income of the clergymen of the day, and I'm sure they paid a lot at the time for the construction or maintenance of that church. If there is 'no money' now available for the upkeep of their mausolium, or for the church to build a simple shack to put their wheelbarrow in, then too f#*%ing bad for the church. These people paid agreeable and exorbitant sums of money in their day TO THE CHURCH to assure their continuing protection BY the church into ETERNITY. FOR SHAME, to that church and their modern day custodians.
That would be creepy to sleep on graves at night. There is a video actually of a whole village living in a cemetery and sleeping on coffins. It's creepy.
The skull and cross bones momento mori stone is amazing usually I don't find dates on the stones with skulls on them,so to find a date is brilliant as it helps me too,I think they are 1700s style then,I don't think I've seen any momento mori graves from the 1600s,beautiful stones 😊.Very well kept graveyard.The mausoleum is like a little castle.Its absolutely gorgeous 😍 it's so beautiful but wtf honestly thats tragic the mess of it 😢
Thanks so much for sharing. It’s BEAUTIFUL ❤ Someone should report to someone and have it cleaned out. That is VERY DISRESPECTFUL. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A LOVE AND ATTRACTION TO IRELAND. IT’S BEAUTIFUL. I Live in San Jose, California UNITED STATES
That is utterly disgraceful, and should be reported to the authorities! Just because there are no relatives left, doesn't mean they can treat those people in that manner. That completely sickens me. 😡
This is a shameful disgrace to dump trash on graves that deserve respect! It is absolutely degrading to the souls that were placing their loved ones in the church-consecrated grounds to honor and care. It should not be used as a storage room. It is distressing to see a church hasn't done it and kept up the mausoleum in their care. I hope you went to the church and commented about the fact it is their duty to keep it up and keep it clean and tidy with respect and prayers for their souls to respectfully rest in Peace.!
Hey there guys love your video I really think that you need to report what is going on what a shame no respect for the dead what is the world coming to take care ❤
Hi thanks for your comment, unfortunately this mausoleum is hours away from me as I only did a video passing by. I couldn't find any info on the church etc
It's called a Laurel wreath, symbolise honour and respect. We have a saying, "resting on the laurels" meaning settling down after a victory or success without striving for more. Thanks for the video 😊
Hello GV and Sue, like other viewers I’m also very disappointed that that sacred place is being so blatantly abused, and hope you maybe were able to report to the police? No one should get away with such disrespect of a burial place. Regarding the sculls with the laurel wreaths, I note other viewers have passed on their meaning..I might add they showed the status of wealth, so wealthy people buried there. But I was fascinated by the grave with the sand topping which looked so neat…..and just wondered if maybe it had been put on the grave to prevent grass or other weeds growing?? I’m not sure whether they import sand to golf bunkers but you never see grass attempting to grow in them. I just thought that the gentleman died in 2009, so it had been working well just needing the odd rake through?? I maybe Completely wrong, but it felt a logical idea!! Thankyou again for another interesting visit…oh! And Thankyou for showing the beautiful picture of the painted glass window! Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before, usually stained glass with the lead holding painted prices in! Give me hope now with my glass painting!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼 which I do in “spare time!” Love and light to you both! Helen xxx🦋🙋♀️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💐🥰🙏🦋🦋🦋
Hello Helen thank you for watching and the lovely comment ❤️ I really do hope that mausoleum gets cleaned up and back to its former glory and the dead can rest in peace
I watched this live but I couldn't comment at the time. I enjoyed it lovely little graveyard it was disrespectful the way the cement and other stuff were just thrown in that mausoleum!. Thank you GV
I believe there are more than 8 people burried there. It seems as if the markers depict the layered burrial of family members. One coffin on top of the other. Here in the US, I believe you can burry up to three in the same plot, with the additional option of burrying urns in the same plot around the caskets.

Thanks Amy x I hope the video puts some light on the situation
Am loving the tour,& its great to hear the irish accents💚❤
Thank you Ann make sure to hit the subscribe button and notification bell for more videos 🇮🇪👍
I just stumbled on your video, i agree with you that it is very sad to see graves in such a state. maybe as with my own family no one cares, or they may not have the financial means to get the work done. my own family has an historical private graveyard on a property once owned be my family, we need to gain permission to go on to the property but the graveyard has been overrun by cattle, all the gravestones have been knocked over as well as the sandstone blocks that used to cover the graves it is a real mess. i dont have the money to fix it. and no one else cares. Having historical significance you would think someone would be interested. Cheers for Tasmania Australia
A lovely Church & Graveyard
And as previously mentioned by other viewers it’s such a shame the Mausoleum has been desecrated in that way
It’s so disrespectful
Beautiful gothic design
Hi G V and Sue. I looked it up for you on the skull with a wreath and....Laurel wreaths are symbolic of accomplishment and victory over death or immortality.. There are also symbols of wings or lanterns as well, which have the same meaning of victory over death. Hope that sheds some light on that for you ( no pun intended) . Thanks for the tour as always.
Thanks
Yes those skulls and crossbones are amazing and the nose is deep. Very nice video and cemetery and church
Thanks Sally these stones are a work of art
I love that little crypt, it looks like a mini sized medieval castle. It’s shameful how they have trashed the inside of it. That’s so disrespectful to those buried there. I hope they get reported and made to clean it up inside it. If they wanted or needed a building for a storage area they should build one somewhere around that old church.
So very sad to desecrate that crypt in that way.
I can only imagine what the peoples life was like for the people that were born in 16, 17 and 18 hundreds.These old cemeteries are really amazing.Thank you for bring us along.
The leaf head piece was called a crown of Laurels. Thank you as always for a beautiful but sad story. I don't understand how something like this happens. To be this hateful is beyond understanding. Again Thank you for your time and hard work. Peace and Love.
God bless olga thank you for watching
After seeing the Hoover: “There’s a lot of hoovering to be done in here I tell ya”…😂😂😂
😂
WONDERFUL TOUR GUYS WHAT A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE CEMETERY LOVE THE WAY YOU READ OUT ALL THE NAMES ON THE HEADSTONES AS YOU PASSED THEM VERY RESPECTFUL OF YOU
THESE PEOPLE WERE ALIVE AT ONE POINT GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
AS FOR THE MAUSOLEUM IM LOST FOR WORDS I JUST HOPE THEY FIX IT UP AGAIN ITS SUCH A SHAME
THANKS AGAIN FOR A GREAT VIDEO
MAY ALL OF THESE SOULS FIND PEACE 🙏🌹🌹🌹
Thanks Margaret it is important to read the names that is the whole point of doing this to keep these people remembered 🙏 I do hope they tidy it up and show some respect
Dang, what a shame. Regardless if there's no one buried there, it belongs to a family.
Why is Management allowing such sacrilegious disrespect? There may not be Winter family members left to complain, however the responsibility of clearing away all that storage-junk belongs to the graveyard' management. This is shamefully, unforgivable & atrocious!
They probably thaught nobody would see it. It's in middle of nowhere. But I did 👍
@@GraveVisitations 👍Well done, tkx for being our 'Eyes'!👏
My mouth hung open in shock at seeing the Sanderson-Winter family being so disrespected! It just makes me so sad to see that. To use a family burial area as a storage/rubbish shed is beyond words! The family should be notified, & the owners held responsible to restore it to its former conition.
You and Serenity Sue should have this featured in the newspapers and the television news channels. The Reverend /Rector of that church should be told that it is wrong for them to be storing stuff on people's graves. Even religious people are so disrespectful nowadays. By the way, St. Paul was speaking to the people of Athens, Greece, the Athenians, pronounced
' Uh - thee - nee - uhnz.'
Great idea!
Susie Jakes, I agree. All of the people who live in that area should be made aware of the situation. If those responsible are publicly embarrassed for what they have done, they will have to correct their disgraceful conduct.
We don't get involved with newspapers we just point out the problem and hope someone sees the video
@@GraveVisitations Then you could at least write a letter to whomever is in charge of that church asking them to rectify the problem.
@@AlexaLake1 maybe I will
Thanks for sharing another beautiful location with us. 👍
And there's no reason why they couldn't build or buy a small storage shed, its disgraceful what they've done there. Show the church folks the comments here on your video, and maybe that'll be enough to open their eyes!
The lion headstone is pretty cool, especially with the feet under it. 😎
I don't know what to say about the skull and crossbones on those other 2 graves. Was that perhaps a standard practice at the time, or were they poisoned.... who knows. 🤔

Memento Mori. A frequent motif from medieval times on, in various forms.
A nice old church 😊
How shameful what has happened to this mosoleum!
Mr GV and the lovely Sue ... wonderful tour ... shame the church was closed
The Samuel(s)Winter'ses Family deserve much more respect than they are being shown here! If they were as wealthy as you suggest they were, they paid a pretty penny for that mosolium structure to house their bones, and I am sure that at the time, the price that they paid for the assurance of having their bones protected and maintained was likely more than agreeable to the Church at the time. The church would have coveted the money that these people donated. I would also go so far as to say that their family likely provided much money for the income of the clergymen of the day, and I'm sure they paid a lot at the time for the construction or maintenance of that church. If there is 'no money' now available for the upkeep of their mausolium, or for the church to build a simple shack to put their wheelbarrow in, then too f#*%ing bad for the church. These people paid agreeable and exorbitant sums of money in their day TO THE CHURCH to assure their continuing protection BY the church into ETERNITY.
FOR SHAME, to that church and their modern day custodians.
To be disgraced...someone needs to be charged for this😡😡😡😡. 1st time for me to something so aweful.
Now here in the states, wouldn’t be surprising if homeless used it for housing:/ Especially, if it was in a remote unlocked cemetery:/
Just looks like cemetery staff use it at the moment but certainly could be used by homeless in the future if not locked up
That would be creepy to sleep on graves at night. There is a video actually of a whole village living in a cemetery and sleeping on coffins. It's creepy.
Oh my. This is very sad. Those are real people resting there. They were a real family.
The skull and cross bones momento mori stone is amazing usually I don't find dates on the stones with skulls on them,so to find a date is brilliant as it helps me too,I think they are 1700s style then,I don't think I've seen any momento mori graves from the 1600s,beautiful stones 😊.Very well kept graveyard.The mausoleum is like a little castle.Its absolutely gorgeous 😍 it's so beautiful but wtf honestly thats tragic the mess of it 😢
Thanks so much for sharing. It’s BEAUTIFUL ❤ Someone should report to someone and have it cleaned out. That is VERY DISRESPECTFUL. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A LOVE AND ATTRACTION TO IRELAND. IT’S BEAUTIFUL. I Live in San Jose, California UNITED STATES
That is utterly disgraceful, and should be reported to the authorities! Just because there are no relatives left, doesn't mean they can treat those people in that manner. That completely sickens me. 😡
As far as cemetery goes it's beautifully classic with the old headstone and history behind the cemetery. It's beautifully historical
The headstones are very beautiful and the area. Pity about the mausoleum 😲
This is a shameful disgrace to dump trash on graves that deserve respect! It is absolutely degrading to the souls that were placing their loved ones in the church-consecrated grounds to honor and care. It should not be used as a storage room. It is distressing to see a church hasn't done it and kept up the mausoleum in their care. I hope you went to the church and commented about the fact it is their duty to keep it up and keep it clean and tidy with respect and prayers for their souls to respectfully rest in Peace.!
Church was locked up unfortunately and nobody around. I'm sure someone will see this video and do the right thing
So odd and sad that they would take over a mausoleum to be used as a maintenance shed. I’ve never heard of anything like it.
Very bizarre circumstances
Hey there guys love your video I really think that you need to report what is going on what a shame no respect for the dead what is the world coming to take care ❤
Hi thanks for your comment, unfortunately this mausoleum is hours away from me as I only did a video passing by. I couldn't find any info on the church etc
It's called a Laurel wreath, symbolise honour and respect. We have a saying, "resting on the laurels" meaning settling down after a victory or success without striving for more. Thanks for the video 😊
Interesting! Thank you for watching 😊
In the South, they use sand to fill in the sinkholes on top of the grapes when the graves settle
Hello GV and Sue, like other viewers I’m also very disappointed that that sacred place is being so blatantly abused, and hope you maybe were able to report to the police? No one should get away with such disrespect of a burial place.
Regarding the sculls with the laurel wreaths, I note other viewers have passed on their meaning..I might add they showed the status of wealth, so wealthy people buried there. But I was fascinated by the grave with the sand topping which looked so neat…..and just wondered if maybe it had been put on the grave to prevent grass or other weeds growing?? I’m not sure whether they import sand to golf bunkers but you never see grass attempting to grow in them. I just thought that the gentleman died in 2009, so it had been working well just needing the odd rake through?? I maybe
Completely wrong, but it felt a logical idea!! Thankyou again for another interesting visit…oh! And Thankyou for showing the beautiful picture of the painted glass window! Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before, usually stained glass with the lead holding painted prices in! Give me hope now with my glass painting!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼 which I do in “spare time!”
Love and light to you both! Helen xxx🦋🙋♀️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💐🥰🙏🦋🦋🦋
Hello Helen thank you for watching and the lovely comment ❤️ I really do hope that mausoleum gets cleaned up and back to its former glory and the dead can rest in peace
It only takes 2 hands to clean that up😉
So disrespectful. Very sad.
Thank you for sharing this video with us.
My pleasure, I hope they cleaned up the mausoleum, maybe I might pay a visit in the near future
Just love these old Churches.
Its cool that you both do this together. I enjoy these videos so much. Thanks!
I watched this live but I couldn't comment at the time.
I enjoyed it lovely little graveyard it was disrespectful the way the cement and other stuff were just thrown in that mausoleum!. Thank you GV
No worries thanks for being here
great video very sad crypt it make me sad that the cemetary dilacerates a crypt of a family
I agree with you it's like they think nobody will look Inside and see what's happening ridiculous
Enjoyed watching ya all. Texas ranch
Glad you enjoyed greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Great video I believe a laurel wreath represent peace and victory so unusual on a grave 😊
Thanks Tina
Love your tours
Thank you 🙏
Such disrespect! Makes you wonder if we someday might be treated the same way. Just terrible
Beautiful place im so shocked at the church doing that they should have a shed
Place is big enough for one
Acho que deve ser conservado, por respeito as pessoas enterradas e pela história.
My thoughts exactly
I believe there are more than 8 people burried there. It seems as if the markers depict the layered burrial of family members. One coffin on top of the other. Here in the US, I believe you can burry up to three in the same plot, with the additional option of burrying urns in the same plot around the caskets.
Lovely churchyard but the mausoleum is a tip so sad but people get forgotten over the years 😢
How disrespectful to have that rubbish in someone's resting place. Shame on the church to allow that.
GLAD to find that you have a channel as well as Sue. You have some wonderful churches and graveyards in Ireland. Happy to subscribe 👍
Thanks and welcome to the channel 👍
