6:30 there was a time when they used to put the cause of death on the tombstone, for example if someone committed suicide their stone might say "Died by a sadness deep within" or something like that....from broken hearts to tragic accidents...
I imagine some people still do, but if you lived a long full life nobody might know what to put on there. And it might seem silly to say they died of cancer in old age.
Look at all the beautiful blue forget-me-nots and hyacinths. I bet those were started there over 100 years ago. They have spread everywhere. What a gorgeous cemetery. Love how it is on several different levels. Wonderful grave art, too.
@winonalovers I'm sorry that made it sound like I was saying I lost children, I don't have any of my own but I was saying the grave stone had 3 kids listed, 2 lost in one year and the oldest a few years later on the same stone. Just imaging what those parents had to be feeling, I know it's just life but it definitely got my eyes running
Yes, I was thinking the same thing. We forget how many people lost children to childhood diseases long ago. Before indoor plumbing many small children died of typhus and other water borne diseases. God bless their souls. May they rest in peace. May perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of the faithful departed through the Mercy of God rest in peace, Amen.
Chewing gum chewing gum nasty chewing gum. It brought me to my grave My mother told me not to chew it but I disobeyed. This was written on a headstone of a young girl, beside where Live.
@@bloodymary9404 Yes they did, the chewing gum years ago was more sticky than you get today, I remember chewing black bubble gum, I blew a large bubble, it stuck to my lips, all around my mouth, and even stuck to my nose, it was hell getting it off.
Interesting fact - when you walk through a cemetery and see the massive headstones, especially ones from the 1800’s to early 1900’s, those were wealthy families. The larger the headstone, the more wealth they had. I learned this when I was helping a cemetery in Ontario 🇨🇦 dig up buried headstones/flat markers. We’d walk around and poke the ground, trying to listen for stone, etc. when we found one, we’d dig it up, shovel sand underneath and replace the marker at the top..visible again to the public ❤️ I loved that project. Cemeteries are fascinating to me. I just visited Sir John A. Mac Donald’s grave a few weeks ago (first prime minister of 🇨🇦). Beautiful old cemetery ❤
@@missindependent1973 I’d say that’s pretty basic common knowledge that a rich family would have the money for a larger stone than a poor family would.
When I visit my mums grave, I always leave her a tulip. I remember when I was a kid we were picking tulips at the tulip field and she told me “ tulips are my favrouite flower. “ and I remember she always like the pink ones. So I always leave them at her grave
I love seeing old cemeteries. Beware, people alone in areas like that might get mugged or worse, at least here in the US. I barely go anywhere alone anymore. I even bring dog with me to the cemetery here. I'd love to visit old English cemeteries...so much beauty and history. Thank you for sharing!
My sister & I have both explored cemeteries in the US for over 50 years: together & separately. Between us we have wandered through old cemeterues in: Hawaii, Cali, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Louisiana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Montana & New York...no muggings or worse to report. And our dogs go hiking with us, but not on cemetery trips.
@@brandyjean7015real, all the cemeteries I explored where I'm living (the us) are beautiful and safe. I jogged in one about 3 years back. And it was nearly almost night time. Like anywhere else, it depends where the grave site is located.
That's actually pretty unlikely in most places. I suppose it could happen, but most people don't visit graveyards much, let alone hang out there. You're far more likely to "get mugged or worse" wandering dark alleyways in cities or in a 'sketchy' part of town. And even then, probably not in broad daylight.
@@jnharton where I live partying or hanging out in cemeteries is common...partying mostly at night but if you are going anywhere alone you put yourself at risk these days.
The beauty of old cemeteries like this is always so calming to me. I don’t know why people are so scared and freaked out by cemeteries. The dead can’t hurt you. It is the living that you need to worry about! ⚰️🪦
I feel exactly the same. I’m drawn to old cemeteries and read all the old inscriptions visualising what the people below were like. They are peaceful and very historical. Wouldn’t want to be in one at night though.
That was a lovely walk with you.. so interesting. One of my many joys is walking through graveyards and see grave art and finding special graves too. I visit the cemetery my family are in and have found the marker placed by the staff for the 1st person buried there.. a young boy named Charles aged just 5 in 1899.. passed from Diphtheria.. I visit with him every couple of weeks during Spring through to Autumn, The cemetery was opened 125 years ago on 30th April. A group of us attend to the gardening of the cemetery shrubs and trees, County Council bankrupt so volunteers are trying to keep it as beautiful as we can removing brambles and the like, sadly despite visiting this cemetery for around 70 years there is no room for me when I pass unless I get cremated I would love to be with my family and friends already there though.
Aww sorry to hear that, 70 years of volunteering and your family is all there. Are there no ways of going in one of the spaces in the plots that have just 1 interment or are the family graves all full to capacity? They should start an area of interment for the members of the volunteer team who have spent so long tending to the graves. I hope something can be worked out! Xx
My nephew helped mow the lawn @ the Coupeville Cemetery on Whidbey Island decades ago. It's a lovely cemetery with early pioneer's graves. Great view from that hill too. I was proud of him.
I loved as a young person to walk through the Old cemeteries in different towns. They were always so peaceful and I always wondered when I read the headstones with their lives. Must’ve been like thank you for sharing.
My Great Grandfather John Daniel Sherwood made his own coffin also! He passed away in 1957, long before I was born. I have a photo of him in it. My Great Grandmother Addie B. Seager Sherwood lined his coffin. My Mother & her cousin used to play hide & seek in that coffin,lol. She passed away in 1981. My Great Grandparents used the coffin as a coffee table in their living room. Kind of creepy to me, ha! This is in southeast Iowa. I love old cemeteries! I’m glad I’m not the only one who likes visiting them. I’m 63 now! 😊
My sister had whooping cough when she was younger. I can well imagine how they could mistake it for choking, I can still remember the horrendous sound to this day. Loved seeing the primroses everywhere .
Just breaks my heart to think, they're not sure exactly how she died and a little treat, maybe something she never had before, is how they talk about her... No one remembers who she was... or can speak of who she truly was. If she was bubbly or reserved... if her smile lit up the room. Instead, it's a cruel joke about dying young over a treat that she might not even had eaten. :( Breaks my heart thinking about it... I hope that little diddy started *after* her parents were long in the grave, I can't imagine the pain they'd go through if they had to hear people sneering about their baby's death...
Thank you for walking me through this lovely church yard. There were some great Celtic monuments. Very relaxing hearing the birds singing and those beautiful wild flowers.👍
@@lacymcknight5043 It is nice but even in a cemetery thats allowed to age and grow a little wild for wildlife. There does need to be a certain amount of maintenance to preserve the architecture and keep it wildlife friendly.
Why do you say that? This cemetery obviously has maintenance and is being looked after. That's why those graves were taped off, somebody is checking the stability of the stones. If you have ever been to a completely abandoned cemetery, you can barely see any of the gravestones under all the plant growth and you cannot walk around as they resemble a jungle. And that takes less than a couple of years in England. The stones are crumbling fair enough, but that's the weather.
It'd be nice if they could do restoration work on Mable's tombstone as it's so unique and a beautiful example of the high standard of craftsmanship available in those days. It's amazing to think that this memorial was all carved by someone's skilled and patient hands. It's definitely one of a kind. ❤
He had been master of Tanat Side Harriers twice. As 'Tantara' George was widely known as a writer on hounds, Hare Hunting by a Master of Harriers being the standard work on the subject. He died aged 58 yrs when hunting with the Tanat Side Harriers. His horse tripped on some concealed barbed wire fencing and threw him off heavily and landed on top of him. He was knocked unconscious and taken to a neighbouring farmhouse. He was found to have a fractured skull, three broken ribs and was suffering from a haemorrhage to his head. He was buried on the 26th November 1906. There is Stained glass-window as a memorial to him at All Saint's Church, Okehampton. (Source:- Clifton Society 29th November 1906)
Aww good video. The little girl eerily looks just like my 7 year old. It’s uncanny 😳 the shape of her face, nose even the hair. The eyes closed still resemble those of my youngest child. Very very surreal. I did notice the pattern on the Celtic cross I’m glad you said something so it wasn’t just me who thought that it looked a bit rude! I loved the one with the Angel next to the leaning cross, years of raining actually added to the effect, rather than ruin it. Thanks for going back ! X
When I was 2, I nearly died from a rare childhood illness called Rubella (German measles) and my mom said if I didn't have the vaccine I would have died.
The oldest graves are my favourite. When I visit my twin sisters resting place I always have a wander around the cemetery looking for the oldest graves 🪦
I need to visit this cemetery, all those forget-me-knots. It really is a lovely spot aside from the traffic. I do love wee Mabel’s marker, it’s a work of art and it is iuncanny how her eyes are slightly open, you do think she might sit up. I wonder how much that cost back in the day and how much it would cost today.
Theres a statue of little girl in old Norwich cemetery. The head stone reads ' CHEWING CHEWING GUM DONT CHEW CHEWING GUM, CHEWING GUM CHEWING GUM BROUGHT ME HERE . very poignant 😢
This graveyard is absolutely spectacular. Thank you for sharing it with us. I'm sure there are some places in the States that are this ornate, but I have never seen grave art like this ! Beautiful ! Not only that but the history here is fascinating, too.
love the post mortem marble little girl she is beautiful but let us hope she remains there as many are stolen and sold to private collectors many marble children have vanished in the states.
This has to be the most interesting cemetery I have ever seen. I just came across your channel and I am anxious to see more. It would definitely be the site of gothic nightmares. I have never seen anything like it and could spend hours walking thru and reading the inscriptions. Thanks for sharing.
What a lovely cemetery! ❤ If I was going to be buried, this is where I’d want to be, in nature where it’s peaceful, beautiful, with a very ornate and eccentric stone 😊 This was just lovely! Thank you for sharing your walk!
My mum was called,Mabel .. There’s lots bird song and wild life in church yards..a nice place to go and just relax and walk around..or sit on a bench,and reflect.
Ok, they mark gravestones that are considered unsafe, but they don't tend to the grass and grounds so you don't trip or turn your ankle. Doesn't make a bit of sense.
Can't figure out why they're marked at all. I can understand the taller ones being in danger of falling over and hurting someone, but what was wrong with the little one? Maybe the ground around it is sinking.
I find it so comforting when i visit my mum & dads grave in our local churchyard Its a beautiful place in the countryside with a beautiful Norman church ovetlooking the cricket field. Mum & dad will like it here they both loved cricket. ❤ My sister is buried a couple of miles away in a beautiful wood its not a church yard, just random graves everywhere next to brook & farmers field. Its beautiful, my sister chose the exact spot where she wanted to be. Sorry if im rambling on i just love a beautiful churchyard & the peace they bring. Thank you. ❤🥰😥 i enjoyed yor video very much. New sub! 😊
Where we live our cemetery if full and the local council don't seem to be able to find the land for a new one . This is a lovely cemetery so peaceful 😊
So sad the little girl she was only 3 years old. So many children died in the victorian era and as you mentioned on one of the graves 3 children all in the same family. Thats devastating. So many illnesses through unsanitary conditions. 😢
This video just popped up whilst I was on here, glad I clicked on, I loved this video. This graveyard is beautiful, although before you I said out loud "there's a lot of Celtic crosses and gravestones". I don't live that far away in Stoke-on-Trent, I'd love to come walk around here. Thanks for your channel.
Whooping cough is still a thing. I hadn't been vaccinated for it as an adult because I didn't realize it wasn't just a childhood thing, and managed to pick up a case while substitute teaching. Believe me. choking on gum, or actually dying, would have felt so much better at the time!
What a beautiful cemetery - the wildflowers and old graves growing up through broken grass in dappled lush greenery. As lovely as the most grand and manicured garden
What a lovely walk through a beautiful old graveyard! I love walking through graveyards, it’s so peaceful, and it’s always very fascinating to me how the deceased are remembered by their families and loved ones. Of course, the little children are always the saddest to me, or those caught out and pulled back early in life, but it’s also interesting to see how old some folks make it as well. My husband and I like to look for the oldest dating grave in graveyards. We found one in our local cemetery that was from late 1870’s. That’s quite old for this area, as it was barely even settled by then. ❤ Something very helpful that can be done is that the pictures of the gravesites with their information can be photographed and uploaded to many different family history centers and websites and can help people to find their ancestors!! ❤ It’s a really cool service and can help people find their roots all over the world!❤ Anyway, I just stumbled upon this video in my RUclips feed, and absolutely loved it ~ your voice is calm and kind sounding, and I truly enjoyed the walk through this magnificent old graveyard. Thank you for taking the effort to record and upload this video. 😊😊
What beautifully carved memorials. This is an art that seems to have been forgotten. My grandmother's tombstone was supposed to have morning glories and a cardinal engraved on it. Whoever did the carving obviously never saw either one of these things in life. The cardinal has feet like a raptor not a song bird. The morning glories are more like hibiscus. I don't know why my mother signed off on the drawing before it was carved. It's a beautiful pink granite but the carving ruins the whole thing.
These overgrown cemetery s are beautiful places to be laid to rest I'd be very happy to spend my eternal life in there somewhere Thank you for showing us 🪦🤍🙏🕊️
The Oddfellows have been going since 1810 and are sometimes classed as the poor man's Freemasons,I have been a member of the Oddfellows for many years and they are still popular all over the world.
When I was younger my mum told me of a young boy who fell asleep with chewing gum in his mouth he chocked on it and he died and on his grave it says “ chew chew chewing gum brought me to my grave” and it’s true I’ve seen this grave myself god bless ‘em gone too soon 😢❤
i have come across about 8 chewing gum boys and girls, most with statues also, the mot famous one is the chewing gum boy in yorkshire. a detterant to scare kids in the 1950s i am told.
I enjoyed Oregon history with the first settlers and graveyard on private property. People We're really nice letting us come on their property.And we've cleaned up a little stuff around the grave site since we were there. Even l wasn't too take a walk when my dog l have A cemetery out in the country up on this hill with the trees.Is just beautiful
Wow, this is incredibly wonderful! I believe you have discovered some of my relatives! I need to double-check the names, but they are listed on my family tree website. I would never have been able to travel from the USA to see these! Thank you very much! What an amazing level of detail you have provided for the Vicars. I am grateful that you took the time to visit and document these sites. ❤
I would LOVE to visit this cemetery. I like visiting cemeteries and paying my respects. I WISH we had grave sites like this in America. Thanks for sharing!!!❤
Chewing gum , chewing gum , don't eat chewing gum , chewing gum brought me to my grave . Old lady use to say that to us when we were little and we wanted a beechnut out of the wall machine . She must have heard about the girl .
Excellent video of the grave yard! Some great stories too! Boy! That tomb of Henry Rics was quite the Mausoleum for a man of the cloth, who were supposed to be poor and humble. But I suspect his father being a banker meant he was flush with cash, and had the Mausoleum built for his son? I liked the UFO mausoleum, I wonder if the bodies are under the base, or in the UFO? The rude knot seen on the Celtic cross could be rude, as the knots are derived from the Romans when they were in Britain and elsewhere, and the Romans were quite liberal in making use of the human anatomy in their art.
Very good video! Sad story about the Chewing Gum Girl. Maybe the grave of someone who died of lung cancer could have an inscription on the memorial to the effect that cigarettes took that person's life away, to discourage people from smoking.
I leave peanuts at my best friend's grave. We used to drink coffee and feed the chipmunks in her back yard.

Yeah, I noticed that in the ones he was reading. So interesting.

Its so sad to see these old cemeteries in such a bad way, cemeteries are such nice places for wildlife, history and the architecture.
Also kind of sad to consider how soon we forget about the past.

I find your Graveyard Rambles very reflective and contemplating.
Beautiful grave. I had whooping cough at 3 months. My Moma said that I almost died. I am so glad that there are immunizations for it.
Immunizations cause whooping cough too.
When I was 2, I nearly died from a rare childhood illness called Rubella (German measles) and my mom said if I didn't have the vaccine I would have died.
🙄🙄
That's so silly vaccines are experiments
Fortunately we also have antibiotics and better medical care available than they would have in the 1800s.
This was a beautiful cemetery tour. Little squirrel was a nice touch too.
These graves really are squashed together. Mabel's grave would be difficult to find. Awesome tour.

Theres a statue of little girl in old Norwich cemetery. The head stone reads ' CHEWING CHEWING GUM DONT CHEW CHEWING GUM, CHEWING GUM CHEWING GUM BROUGHT ME HERE . very poignant 😢
Sad
How did chewing gum kill someone
@@LilladyTK choking on the gum
We put our chewing gum on the bedpost.
This graveyard is absolutely spectacular. Thank you for sharing it with us. I'm sure there are some places in the States that are this ornate, but I have never seen grave art like this ! Beautiful ! Not only that but the history here is fascinating, too.
I see she's starting to crack up. I wish she could be repaired before pieces are lost forever.
love the post mortem marble little girl she is beautiful but let us hope she remains there as many are stolen and sold to private collectors many marble children have vanished in the states.
I believe she is actually made of stone
Hopefully not from cemetaries.
Bad enough to steal art from the living; desecrating memorials to the dead is a disgrace.
Thoroughly enjoyed this cemetery walk including the "gum girl" gravesite. Her facial features look so realistic! Thanks again
Enjoyed? A bit tone deaf but k...
This has to be the most interesting cemetery I have ever seen. I just came across your channel and I am anxious to see more. It would definitely be the site of gothic nightmares. I have never seen anything like it and could spend hours walking thru and reading the inscriptions. Thanks for sharing.
What a lovely cemetery! ❤ If I was going to be buried, this is where I’d want to be, in nature where it’s peaceful, beautiful, with a very ornate and eccentric stone 😊 This was just lovely! Thank you for sharing your walk!
absolutely gorgeous cemetary, thank you so much for sharing!!
My mum was called,Mabel ..
There’s lots bird song and wild life in church yards..a nice place to go and just relax and walk around..or sit on a bench,and reflect.
Thank you for another awesome tour. Have a nice weekend!
Really beautiful! Thanks for the tour.
Ok, they mark gravestones that are considered unsafe, but they don't tend to the grass and grounds so you don't trip or turn your ankle. Doesn't make a bit of sense.
Can't figure out why they're marked at all. I can understand the taller ones being in danger of falling over and hurting someone, but what was wrong with the little one? Maybe the ground around it is sinking.
Hello..!Thank you very much for this romantic ballad in the cimetery of Chester...mysterious, !l like it.. fondly from France..!!!👍👍🇨🇵
This is such a beautiful cemetery, the graves are so close together in some places. The grave of little Mabel is so precious and so sad 😢
I was thinking the same thing just looking at it makes me feel a bit uneasy yet at the same time somewhat peaceful.
My mom used to call me Mabel Mabel... Things are so fucking strange yo
What a beautiful cemetery! Thanks for the tour!
I find it so comforting when i visit my mum & dads grave in our local churchyard Its a beautiful place in the countryside with a beautiful Norman church ovetlooking the cricket field. Mum & dad will like it here they both loved cricket. ❤ My sister is buried a couple of miles away in a beautiful wood its not a church yard, just random graves everywhere next to brook & farmers field. Its beautiful, my sister chose the exact spot where she wanted to be. Sorry if im rambling on i just love a beautiful churchyard & the peace they bring. Thank you. ❤🥰😥 i enjoyed yor video very much. New sub! 😊
Excellent job Dan. Great to have you back on the screen. 👏👏
Thank you for sharing this walk. I’m a new sub here from Aussie thanks to algorithm. I love walking through cemeteries 💜🙏💜🙏
Another good one. thank you! Currently 88 Fahrenheit here in Utah
Where we live our cemetery if full and the local council don't seem to be able to find the land for a new one . This is a lovely cemetery so peaceful 😊
I feel so sorry for you walking in this amazing cemetery with what sounds like bad cold!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this tour! Enjoying from California.
So sad the little girl she was only 3 years old. So many children died in the victorian era and as you mentioned on one of the graves 3 children all in the same family. Thats devastating. So many illnesses through unsanitary conditions. 😢
hi dan nice to see the old graves i enjoy walking round grave yards
You live in Manchester
wow just amazing cementary. beautiful grave Stones. Looks so peaceful 🌺❤️
This video just popped up whilst I was on here, glad I clicked on, I loved this video. This graveyard is beautiful, although before you I said out loud "there's a lot of Celtic crosses and gravestones". I don't live that far away in Stoke-on-Trent, I'd love to come walk around here. Thanks for your channel.
Whooping cough is still a thing. I hadn't been vaccinated for it as an adult because I didn't realize it wasn't just a childhood thing, and managed to pick up a case while substitute teaching. Believe me. choking on gum, or actually dying, would have felt so much better at the time!
Interesting place Dan! My bird is chirping at your walk!😅whooping cough. Interesting! Thanks for sharing this!✌
Thank you for taking us even though some of us are on the other side of the planet. And thank you for your reverence.
This is one of the coolest looking cemeteries ever !
Wonderful grave stone for the little girl, her memory lives on through it's beauty. Thanks for your video!
Excellent tour. We have very little like this in California.
Thats a beautiful celtic and the Angel,magnificent❤
What a Beautiful Cemetery , thanks for your video❤🙂
Dan, I have missed seeing your videos. I'm glad you're back!!!
Thanks susan x
What a beautiful cemetery - the wildflowers and old graves growing up through broken grass in dappled lush greenery. As lovely as the most grand and manicured garden
What a lovely walk through a beautiful old graveyard! I love walking through graveyards, it’s so peaceful, and it’s always very fascinating to me how the deceased are remembered by their families and loved ones. Of course, the little children are always the saddest to me, or those caught out and pulled back early in life, but it’s also interesting to see how old some folks make it as well. My husband and I like to look for the oldest dating grave in graveyards. We found one in our local cemetery that was from late 1870’s. That’s quite old for this area, as it was barely even settled by then. ❤ Something very helpful that can be done is that the pictures of the gravesites with their information can be photographed and uploaded to many different family history centers and websites and can help people to find their ancestors!! ❤ It’s a really cool service and can help people find their roots all over the world!❤ Anyway, I just stumbled upon this video in my RUclips feed, and absolutely loved it ~ your voice is calm and kind sounding, and I truly enjoyed the walk through this magnificent old graveyard. Thank you for taking the effort to record and upload this video. 😊😊
Nice change of scenery, and the gum girl was a nice touch in the cemetery!
What beautifully carved memorials. This is an art that seems to have been forgotten. My grandmother's tombstone was supposed to have morning glories and a cardinal engraved on it. Whoever did the carving obviously never saw either one of these things in life. The cardinal has feet like a raptor not a song bird. The morning glories are more like hibiscus. I don't know why my mother signed off on the drawing before it was carved. It's a beautiful pink granite but the carving ruins the whole thing.
Thank you for the lovely walk.
I am from Idaho in the United States and this is the most serene and beautiful place
I’m also from Idaho! 😊
Grieving parents did beautiful
Last tribute to their little girl❤ how sad
A beautiful cemetery and yes, so peaceful. What history! I would like to wander there.
I'm aware this is an older cemetery,you would think they could take a little more care of the grounds .
These overgrown cemetery s are beautiful places to be laid to rest I'd be very happy to spend my eternal life in there somewhere Thank you for showing us 🪦🤍🙏🕊️
The Oddfellows have been going since 1810 and are sometimes classed as the poor man's Freemasons,I have been a member of the Oddfellows for many years and they are still popular all over the world.
When I was younger my mum told me of a young boy who fell asleep with chewing gum in his mouth he chocked on it and he died and on his grave it says “ chew chew chewing gum brought me to my grave” and it’s true I’ve seen this grave myself god bless ‘em gone too soon 😢❤
i have come across about 8 chewing gum boys and girls, most with statues also, the mot famous one is the chewing gum boy in yorkshire. a detterant to scare kids in the 1950s i am told.
I enjoyed Oregon history with the first settlers and graveyard on private property.
People We're really nice letting us come on their property.And we've cleaned up a little stuff around the grave site since we were there. Even l wasn't too take a walk when my dog l have A cemetery out in the country up on this hill with the trees.Is just beautiful
Wow, this is incredibly wonderful! I believe you have discovered some of my relatives! I need to double-check the names, but they are listed on my family tree website. I would never have been able to travel from the USA to see these! Thank you very much! What an amazing level of detail you have provided for the Vicars. I am grateful that you took the time to visit and document these sites. ❤
This is a lovely cemetery with some great grave stones thanks for the visit 😊
The Vicar's tomb .... it truly is exquisite. Oh Mabel, you're beautiful ❤❤🙏🙏 Beautiful avenue of trees. 🙏❤🙏
The Detail in mabels tomb stone is just stunning
I leave two poppies on my father's grave because he fought in the first and second world wars
How’s that possible if they were in the 1st world war and your their child ???
I would LOVE to visit this cemetery. I like visiting cemeteries and paying my respects. I WISH we had grave sites like this in America. Thanks for sharing!!!❤
Actually there are, though I'm not sure you can find many
What a beautiful cemetery!
Chewing gum , chewing gum , don't eat chewing gum , chewing gum brought me to my grave . Old lady use to say that to us when we were little and we wanted a beechnut out of the wall machine . She must have heard about the girl .
Minty Fresh Breath Squirrel. :-)
Excellent video of the grave yard! Some great stories too!
Boy! That tomb of Henry Rics was quite the Mausoleum for a man of the cloth, who were supposed to be poor and humble. But I suspect his father being a banker meant he was flush with cash, and had the Mausoleum built for his son?
I liked the UFO mausoleum, I wonder if the bodies are under the base, or in the UFO?
The rude knot seen on the Celtic cross could be rude, as the knots are derived from the Romans when they were in Britain and elsewhere, and the Romans were quite liberal in making use of the human anatomy in their art.
Love this graveyard. It's kind of spooky, but interesting . I love all the trees, greenery,and flowers 💐 ❤
Very good video! Sad story about the Chewing Gum Girl. Maybe the grave of someone who died of lung cancer could have an inscription on the memorial to the effect that cigarettes took that person's life away, to discourage people from smoking.
Not everyone who gets lung cancer smokes.
Thankyou,great video 😊
Thats very sad :( she was only a minor too but i hope she may rest in peace 🕊
Beautiful historic graveyard beautiful colorful plantlife
It’s a lovely cemetery.
It’s whooping cough, and it can still be deadly although nothing like back then…
