Your right this was a Gem of a find..Beautiful bricked Mausoleum's just so beautiful..Thank you Sue you are a sweetheart and we all appreciate your hard work...Keep posting my friend 😘
I like the layout of this one, it has good mojo! The mausoleum inside the ruins is starting to show it's age after over 200 years, and the High Cross for the bone man was beautifully carved. Definitely a little gem find Sue, thank you. Be careful and stay safe. Deb of Oz XXX
What an interesting little place. Calm, quiet and looks very peaceful. I was particularly interested in the new plaques that have been made for some of the older stones, must stil be family around to do that. Chalking a marker is terrible, if you want to read it, carry a flashlight as you do instead of messing it all up. Stepping on slabs, I doubt the dead mind at all. A lovely little video Sue, you and GV do wonderful taking us all on your walks. Thank you.
What a beautiful place! I have never heard of Holy Wells in cemeteries before, but now I've seen one. It looks appropriate there and very natural. I'm with you about the chalk. If they're going to use it, they can at least clean it off the stone when they are done. Thank you, Sue, for the tour. It's always informative and a pleasure to roam around with you.
Hi Sue! A very nice video! When you see a bottle of alcohol left at a grave, it isn't a discard, but a bottle shared with a departed friend. I know, I have left two bottles behind at my friends graves, it is the last shared bottle we will ever share, and I am crying as I write this, in sadness at the loss of my friends.
I'm so sorry for your loss Jeffrey, yes I've seen this many times but they are always on a grave. These to me were discarded as the position looked like it was hidden. Stay strong. Grief is the hardest pain you'll ever feel. ❤️
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Yes, I too tucked the bottles into a spot that kept them from easily being picked up and tossed. It is akin to leaving coins or stones at a grave for some people. But I only do it once per friend.
Another charming character cemetery. So unique. I agree, what's with the chalk? There are better ways to read the stones without covering it with pink chalk. Aaah Sue, what are we gonna do with these silly people 🙄LOL. Loved this, thanks Sue. God bless ❤Teresa 🇦🇺♥
This graveyard is extraordinary absolutely gorgeous ❤. I love the stone work on the Mausaleums and the 🧱 wall. So perfectly put together. Thanx as always for a lovely video and reading and remembering ❤ ,....just so beautiful 😊😊😊
Thank you so much for taking us here...its lovely. I love these little wells.❤❤❤ I agree, the chalk seems a bit much. Pink chalk does not seem in keeping with the dignity of a grave.
Clancy surname on that tombstone!! Served in The British Army with an Irish lad called Jimmy Clancy, he was from Killeshandra, Co Caven. Great video Sue, you have some beautiful cemetaries over there. 😊
Those wells scare me a lot, because of what is going into the ground water. Norwood cemetery in London had a similar problem but on a far larger scale as it was going into the local drinking water. My advice is to not ingest well water from cemetery wells, use it for other purposes. Awesome video as ever ❤
This graveyard has its own quaint look to it doesn't it? Just like some have a lot of high crosses, this one has many flat stones and its own special feel about it. It appears ancient but many people have been buried here in the last half of the 20th century. Families staying around each other in County Clare and still being buried together. It is bittersweet especially the babies. I love those rock walls, some so sturdy they will be there for more and more centuries to come. I wonder how many get visitors, but special all the same. Thanks for reading their names Sue. I hope you and Cathal are well. ♥️☘️
All who are resting under graves, their soul may rest in peace because only thru your video we could see such forgotten cemeteries ever..God may ressurect all of them in his 2nd advent..thanks Sue
Hey Sue! You truly have some of the most AMAZING Cemeteries in Ireland! From the above ground Vaults, old Churches, to the finely carved stones. Greetings from America!😃
A wonderful find Sue.. thank you for sharing, dreadful that someone used chalk, a paper and charcoal rubbing would have been better.. Rubbings of stones or brass only becomes a problem if done hundreds of times over history.. I will be kind and say maybe someone tracing a family member's grave used the chalk as a way to read the stone..we were all taught different of course. You take care now
Another beautiful find there Sue, thank you. I especially loved the little font in the wall. Like you I don't agree with the chalk, and not to clean it off afterwards I find a little disrespectful.
Hi Sue, thank you as always for a fascinating visit to an old graveyard. It looked very cold there I hope you were warm enough. As you say the mausoleums are very grand and impressive on the outside but inside the coffins are a nightmare. I would hate to think my relatives looked like that now. (They won’t, they’re buried in Anfield cemetery in Liverpool. My mum and dad were cremated in the adjoining crematory which is where I’m headed too. Not for a while yet I hope! Best wishes xxx
Rather interesting mixed place. Looks like a lot of it is very thin limestone slabs or chips. Making the place look fragile. Always love those Irish stone walls.
Once again i enjoyed your video... love the stone work... the peaceful tranquility with the sound of the running stream makes for a beautiful place to lay resting... stay safe from Aussie pete
what an amazing place - thankyou again sue for your vids - you are one of a kind and each video a lovely mix of respect and sharing with us guys - you put your heart into it love from australia
Sue, you have such a lovely unique voice! I have watched you for a while now. You & your videos have grown together! Sometimes as I sit embroidering in bed I will just listen to one of your videos. Thanks for keeping me company! ♥️😎✌🏼
A "bone setter" in Ireland refers to a traditional practitioner, often from a rural community, who uses manual manipulation techniques to treat joint dislocations and sometimes minor bone fractures, essentially acting as a form of folk healer without formal medical training, similar to the concept of a "bone setter" in other cultures; today, their role is largely replaced by chiropractors, osteopaths, and physical therapists.
Beautiful graveyard. Thank you very much for explaining the purpose of the well. The rank on that headstone? S1 is seaman first class. My uncle, ( father's brother) was in the U S. Navy during WWII. That was his rank. Great video, thank you very much Sue and GV. Have a great week ahead. 😊
What a beautiful graveyard! I loved the well. I don't love chalk, either. Chalk and shaving cream, flour, etc. are actually able to penetrate the stone itself. When the particles of chalk or whatever get wet, they expand, inside the stone, causing microscopic cracks. They cause damage from the inside out.
Some of the graveyards you and GV bring us, I don’t see how you can get around without walking on graves. We used to take field trips in Savannah to historic cemeteries to take rubbings of the sones. It wasn’t like chalk in that it it left marks on the stone but they say it makes the stone harder to read over time. A popular one is the composer of Jingle Bells. Should take a trip back and see if it’s true.
Nice cemetery with the little Brooke running along side it, really cool. I don’t know but that Thomas fellow seemed pretty busy. I know it’s a shame when we come across a child’s grave but not everyone makes it to heaven but we can know forsure little children absolutely make it to heaven and into the loving arms of our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ. I’m not a child but I am looking forward to that day. God bless you two and take care OT.
@@SerenitySueGraveyards see here where I live the they close the Cemeteteries down at sunset and on the big ones they have security patrolling at night but the rual ones have none of this
Hello Sue ...Ive made a futher observatation that I cant understand .I would have expected to see many gravestones inscribed in Irish esp prior to the Penial laws and Esp west of the River Shannon .....As for US navy posting on Grave........ The US Navy S1 division is responsible for providing administrative and logistical support to naval personnel. This article provides a comprehensive guide on what the S1 division does, its roles and responsibilities, benefits of joining the U.S. Navy Supply Chain Management, tips for working in the S1 division while emphasizing critical thinking skills development opportunities available within this branch of military service. Whether you’re looking into joining or just interested in learning more about it, this article covers all you need to know about the US Navy S1 division.
I've been at some graveside services where the ground was made up of so many miniature depressions, that while closing my eyes for the preacher's final prayer, I had to shift my weight from one foot to the other to remain secure during my "blindness".
@SerenitySueGraveyards I often wonder what will happen to these graves 100 years from now when they fall completely apart. There is a cemetery in my community thats from mid to late 1800's and its basically a field now that they do mow the grass but 95% of the headstones are gone. I guess our graves too one day, will be lost forever. Perhaps this is why cremation is the most popular and scattering of the cremains.........
Unfortunately, back in those days the cemeteries were well used because mortality rate was high and people died very young, especially women and children. I certainly wouldn’t want to return to that, so many women dying of childbirth and so many children succumbing to disease and not making to adulthood. It’s nice to be nostalgic but give me modern medicine any day.
@SharonPadget I hear your point, I just think about the quality of life and happiness. I wonder if were really better off in those terms. So much hatred, corruption, war, stress over money (because most of us became materialistic). I don't know the answer if back then was a better life, but in my mind, I'd rather live a shorter life if it was simpler like Sue says than longer with all of the above mentioned. Think of the love that built those graves, mostly done by loving families, do we love our family members nowadays to put that kind of effort in? Good points though Sharon specially on the improvement of medication, I wonder though did they have the need back then by eating far healthier foods? Good thoughts though......
@ my Great Grandmother died in 1906 at the age of 27 giving birth to my Grandmother. Of the 14 children my grandmother had 3 didn’t make it to adulthood. My Dad lived to be 97 but he particularly mourned the loss of his little brother, Sammy Joe to his dying day. I’m convinced that with modern medicine my relatives could have been spared and would have had long happy lives like my father. Also, things in the past may seem idealistic but in retrospect every era has wars, political upheaval and just every day stress. Plus the rights for women were almost nil back then. My mother has been gone for 34 years and my Dad 5 and I just visited the cemetery to clean up the gravesite and put out a Christmas wreath. Many people in our local cemetery take excellent care of their loved one’s graves. Sorry hope I didn’t sound preachy. Thanks for replying to me. 🙂
I wonder if the font built into the stone wall once contained holy water. I see nothing disrespectful about stepping on the flat stones or graves as long as it's done carefully which you always do. Safe travels ❤️
Oh yes, that was for holy water, possibly taken from the beautiful Holy well. I was told as a little girl never to walk on a grave, as it was very disrespectful to the dead and it's stayed with me. I have truthfully stepped on a grave before accidentally and I always apologise to them. Some things we learn as children stay with us all our lives 🙏
have been offline for a couple of months. and I've missed you so much beautiful Sue. and Gv ofcourse . my lifes no as good with you not in it sue. much love and respect mate. this you Irish kiwi here, hope your well sue. have traveling with you. anyway a little soapy I know big hugs couple of kisses love ya work susie girl lol sorry a little cheeky
@SerenitySueGraveyards no I'm all good sue. thanks mate, stepped sway from all the internet rubbish, but it did make me realise, your such a beautiful soul sue and I need people like you make me want to be a better person, but I find that you always Inspire me too, yet you always make the effort ,even though I'm on the other side of the world and you must have thousands of followers too, I too my hat to your lovely self thanks again . love n light to you Sue xx
Does the sun ever shine there? There is a reference in the book of Luke about walking on graves unseen. But I do not believe that there is enough cross-references to interpret that as meaning it is wrong to walk on the graves. I believe it only references people being forgotten or treated as if they never existed. I have always thought that correct etiquette has to do with why I am there in the graveyard. I have respectful thoughts and do not believe that it is wrong to walk on a grave. Now if I was in a disrespectful mood and did other things then it could possibly be wrong. But my gosh, most people don't visit the cemeteries at least the old ones, so I would be slow to criticize anybody for walking on graves if they are otherwise respectful.
Thank you, I was told as a child i would disturb the dead and that it was disrespectful to do that, it's stuck with me, I really try not to but ever our newer graves are so close together it's hard to walk across to see my family. I walk on the kirb and if I step on a grave by accident, I apologise and say their name
What a lovely place Sue, those mausoleums are just great. Surely instead of plastering the gravestone in bright pink muck bring a big sheet of cartridge paper and take a rubbing. I just thing there’s something wrong with covering a stone in that muck One wee thing though, the sound of the running water has a terrible effect on us women of a certain age🫣
Your right this was a Gem of a find..Beautiful bricked Mausoleum's just so beautiful..Thank you Sue you are a sweetheart and we all appreciate your hard work...Keep posting my friend 😘
Thanks so much ❤️
Thumbs up Big like 👍 👌
What a beautiful cemetery, amazing looking mausoleums and to hear the sound of the stream ,heavenly💚 Thanks Suex

You'll see all the walls in Clare are like these, all hand laid, simply works of art

Very pretty place ❤ Sometimes people leave a bottle for the person buried there but I guess that wasn't the case here 😢 Stay warm and dry ❤️
I've seen that but it's usually closed and on the grave, these were open and looked discarded
I wonder if it contaminates the stream?
I don't think so, as there really isn't anything in there to contaminate it, it's really only water, as long as no one puts something horrible into it
Can folks do rubbings to get the text from the headstones/markers -- instead of the chalk? That at least should not leave any residue or marks....
That's true
Such history the USA does not have love your videos sue!
Thanks so much ❤️
Nice cemetery with the little Brooke running along side it, really cool. I don’t know but that Thomas fellow seemed pretty busy.

I've never heard that, just told it was disrespectful
I wonder if the font built into the stone wall once contained holy water. I see nothing disrespectful about stepping on the flat stones or graves as long as it's done carefully which you always do. Safe travels ❤️
Oh yes, that was for holy water, possibly taken from the beautiful Holy well. I was told as a little girl never to walk on a grave, as it was very disrespectful to the dead and it's stayed with me. I have truthfully stepped on a grave before accidentally and I always apologise to them. Some things we learn as children stay with us all our lives 🙏
I wonder why they don't use white chalk ?(at least that would match the lichens).
That's true

That’s slate, isn’t it ?
Yes, well done. I love it, so beautiful
Does the sun ever shine there? There is a reference in the book of Luke about walking on graves unseen. But I do not believe that there is enough cross-references to interpret that as meaning it is wrong to walk on the graves. I believe it only references people being forgotten or treated as if they never existed. I have always thought that correct etiquette has to do with why I am there in the graveyard. I have respectful thoughts and do not believe that it is wrong to walk on a grave. Now if I was in a disrespectful mood and did other things then it could possibly be wrong. But my gosh, most people don't visit the cemeteries at least the old ones, so I would be slow to criticize anybody for walking on graves if they are otherwise respectful.
Thank you, I was told as a child i would disturb the dead and that it was disrespectful to do that, it's stuck with me, I really try not to but ever our newer graves are so close together it's hard to walk across to see my family. I walk on the kirb and if I step on a grave by accident, I apologise and say their name
@SerenitySueGraveyards as I have thought, I just have a respectful mind but saying their name I think would ensure that. I'll try it next time.
Maybe his first wife passed, he remarried, second wife died before him ie, wife 1 & 2..🤔🤔🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
I swear I was so confused 😅
What a lovely place Sue, those mausoleums are just great. Surely instead of plastering the gravestone in bright pink muck bring a big sheet of cartridge paper and take a rubbing. I just thing there’s something wrong with covering a stone in that muck
One wee thing though, the sound of the running water has a terrible effect on us women of a certain age🫣
Thank you ❤️
Hahaha 😂
