Inside the church was beautiful Mr. Boots, especially the carved screen and old plaques. Not many older graves outside, considering how old the church is. A lovely little walkabout, thank you. Deb of Oz.
Dear Mr McTee, are you feeling okay? You seemed out of breath or perhaps you have asthma? Lovely church on the inside with the old plaques on the walls in memory of those lost in the first World War. Thank you for reading out the names of the departed in the graveyard all around. It is compassionate that they are remembered each time we read their names. ♥️☘️
Here in Denver, Colorado, our graveyards were legally established in 1876, many burial grounds were scattered around the terriritory, including Indigenous People's burial grounds but not legally established or registered. Basically Colorado territory was established in 1860's by the US government. So our history is limited regarding settlement outside of Indigenous People's and Spanish establishment. The Spanish had the Church of Catholicism who kept excellent records of births baptism and deaths. Indegenous People's had oral history's. Pretty much there were not much history kept as far as Cemeteries or Churches outside of the Spanish Catholic Church, unlike The UK and Europe whose history is recorded further back. I do so much enjoy your videos and the historical value. Many of the 1st Cemeteries in Denver have Been moved and done in a ramshackle way with poor record keeping, lost bodies, lost paper work, bodies said to have Been exhumed but in actuality were not; (and then greater than a century later) discovered during current landscaping.
Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you, Boots..a delightful spot.
Always waiting for your videos
