So sad that people feel the need to spray paint and break windows and desecrate the final resting place. People have families and people who love them just like the idiots that are doing the damage it’s one thing to be curious and want to see but it’s something totally different to go in and desecrate something so beautiful.
I absolutely agree. The vandals don't realize that the building they're desecrating will have the last laugh. These places deserve respect at all times.
This was built in the late 1800's by the local manor owner at the time, George William Duff Assheton Smith as a private family mausoleum, and a sort of chapel as the funeral service was actually held there. He had it built and then had his mother's body moved there and placed in the crypt; followed by his father. When George W. D. Assheton Smith died he was interred there as well, and then his wife and daughter (you filmed their memorials on the wall). The estate was sold out of the family in the 1980's I believe. I'm surprised though that this building is not maintained. It is beautiful (under the desecrating spraypaint and ignoring the smashed stained glass windows). One would think if nothing else it would make a tourist attraction. Your video was very interesting, thanks for being respectful of the place.
Usually when people add music to videos like these it doesn’t fit, you’ve made a fantastic video here. I’ve watched Dead Good walks, The Proper People, exploring with fighters etc, I love your channel. Top tier stuff lad, thank you.
Oh My Goodness, the wood framework in the bellower ceiling is still intact. That's remarkable. The vandalism is horrible though. I haven't seen tile floors like that since I was a kid & the state of preservation is amazing. The lower part of the mausoleum is creepy as **** but I would go down to see if there was a way into the sealed part just because I am curious but I would go with a few masks & Oxygen & plenty of batteries & of course showing respect for the property & the deceased. Its a shame it was left to rot like that. I wonder if anyone plans to restore it, would be nice if they did & bring it back to its original condition with a dedication plaque with all whom reside with in it after all these centuries. Thanks for the video it was very interesting & you showed much respect for the property & those who remain. Excellent Job. Can you get a detailed history on this place & make a second part to this video ?
Incredible explore and it has helped me so much with the work I've been doing on cemetery crypts. I've never been able to get below but your video has shown me what I've been thinking about these places and that there is a lot more to these places than concealing bodies. The best video I've seen in years and it's helped me so much with my own work. Cheers m8👍👍👍👍
im glad you got into the vibe, i try to bring the vibe to the lens which is very difficult, sometimes i cant do a place justice and you just have to see it for yourself 🤯
That roof is flipping awesome, still keeping those beautiful floor tiles dry...it will last forever, they don't make them like that anymore! The Edwardians and the Victorians spent huge amounts of money on their after death situations, but I guess this family is now long ago forgotten in time Great photography and such a cool little find 🙂
This Victorian mausoleum (Grade 2 listing building) was built in the 1870s for the Assheton-Smith family, which owned the Faenol estate and the giant Dinorwic slate quarry. The building includes a bell tower and parts are in the Gothic style. It is the final resting place of some members of a quarry-owning family. 7:34 One of the family members buried there is George William Duff Assheton-Smith (1848-1904). He married Maud Assheton-Smith. Usually women took their husbands’ surnames after marriage, but it was the other way round. He had a brother, Sir Charles Garden Duff (1851-1914) who gained the title of 1st Baronet Duff of Vaynol in 1911. Their father is Robert George Duff (1817-1890) served in the British Army, 12th (The East Suffolk) Regiment of Foot, Ensign in 1836, made Lieutenant in 1838, and Captain in 1842. He held the office of Deputy Lieutenant of Caernarvonshire sometime between 1852 and 1860.
When this video first starts and you can see the mausoleum it gave me the chills it looked like i was watching the beginning of a gothic horror movie what a fabulous and fascinating place i loved this video x
wow! what a find!!! 👍 its like a Tardis but vertically. love the architecture and windows. did you find the holes when you where outside? amazing place very beautiful 😊
Wow love it 😍 brilliant find LA 👏🏻 i wish they still built stuff like that its lovely , what a sacred place thanks guys , sorry ive missed a few im catching up tho 😅😘💕
amazing place nice to see its been left alone and the crypt sealed really well so the ideots cant get in hoppfully will stay that way so glad you guys got to see it as you always respect everywhere you go
Damn that was a creepy looking place! I would love to check it out. Very spooky looking...did you have any weird vibes in there? Too bad that door was sealed I was hoping to see what was in the crypt. Theres got to be coffins in there or at least whats left of them. Very interesting place!
as soon as i jumped over the gate a screeching high pitch noise rushed into both my ears which i found strange but that was about it i think, yea im sure they sealed the tomb with concrete by pouring it in the hole above that we pointed out
Beautiful. Did u work out what the lines in the mud where (in the tunnel to the crypt)? Also, in the tight little tunnel you said u couldn't go down, I noticed some red type brick work. Was this part of the structure or had it had work done after a set of years?
lines in the mud? yea i did notice some red brick, red bricks have been used for hundreds of years so not sure whats going on, i have a feeling that pipe i said upstairs ,they poured concrete down the crypt through there and sealed it all up with the tombs inside
@@LostAdventuresExploring as u were walking down to the crypt.. when it started getting really muddy and u mentioned it was getting worse.. I noticed lines like something had been pulled down there on a wheel type thing? (Trolly or something? ) I'll rematch in a while and add a time...
Great job guys just came across you and subscribed i think your voice is amazing for narrating anything be it film o or video and I'd love to know what all the little tunnels were for down in the crypt great video thoroughly enjoyed it . Blessings from dublin Ireland
One of my most favourite places ❤️ there is a national trust car park just across the field, i couldnt work out where you had entered from. I found this place a couple of years ago, i was under the impression the bodies had been removed, after the digging around in archives we did.
could that feature in the middle of room be where the coffins were lowered down , as those stairs look way too tight, it could have been filled over after the last person was put to rest
It reminds me of a vampires crypt, its soo beautiful and gothic! Gosh I cant believe those evil vadals! these are people's resting places their crypts to vandelise the dead is a sin!.
That is the Vaynol mausoleum. The builder died at age 56 in 1904. What a beautiful qnd haunting building. He obviously loved his family very much yo create a permanent resting place like that.
Muito obrigado por postar o vídeo! Impressionante o patrimônio histórico e cultural desse país. Uma pena que os governos locais não cuidem de tão belos monumentos. Lamentável...
Awesome video and a beautiful place! It has me wondering though, how did people move caskets down there with those twisting stairs and narrow corridors? Must have placed the caskets into the crypts from above??
You guys are finding the coolest places! Was that a door hinge on the door you went in? That swirling design? Or was that paint? I was hoping you’d show a close. Thanks!
Wow, such a beautiful gothic crypt, and how they made the place must have taken a lot of work into it. I just can't believe that people would desecrate such a place, it truly is upsetting. That crypt is huge😮
@@LostAdventuresExploring yeah, true, it is a bit strange of how they built that crypt. I guess in the old centuries they had their own style of making houses, crypts and so on. Their own imagination of how things should have looked at that time.
Fascinating place, and it must have been one heck of a job to build it and get coffins through those passages, unless access was also possible though the top. However, white shoes and mud are not a great idea. :-)
Those plaques are deceptive. They removed whatever awesome person was in that tomb and then installed a false narrative to throw people off the track. God Bless
Makes you wonder how hard is was to get the coffins down there, was they in coffins or just the bodies and then placed in coffins once all the way down?
@@LostAdventuresExploring maybe the site made you sick 🤕 . I wanted to ask when u said you only had2 percent battery left when u were in the tunnel was the battery nearly empty when u went down ?

totally agree with you
I absolutely agree. The vandals don't realize that the building they're desecrating will have the last laugh. These places deserve respect at all times.
Respect is the last thing these people that spray paint in a sacred place would understand ,, extremely sad, to say the least ,,
People aren't taught respect for the dead anymore.
My thoughts exactly . Moronic yobs sums them up perfectly .

Exactly. It's good for us that these good young folk take us to these places we otherwise would never see.
It's a real crime, pity and shame that even on private property that people went there to vandalize this place!
These people went in there and just because they didn't vandalize anything doesn't make trespassing right.
That place is incredible. Just imagine what that would cost to build today!
The plate in the floor at one time was used to lower the casket at the end of the funeral Mass. What a beautiful chapel.

The bodies would be extremely well preserved sealed up like that and so far underground. Amazing! Thanks for sharing.

I nearly went flying down the stairs when I went last year. I’d love to know where that underground tunnel in the wall leads too👀
I presume that the concrete slab in the floor of the upper section was where the caskets were originally lowered into the crypt?
This would make a great scary movie. Amazing underneath the crypt.
Great video. Thanks.
Omg I’ve gone down a new rabbit hole of inside crypts. ❤️. Thanks
People smashing the windows in these places need to remove themselves from earth
They belong in jail
Amazing find , really enjoyed watching this keep em coming mate 👌🏾
You've done a great job with the music/sound effects.
thanks you very much
Wow I'd absolutely love to explore this place,so haunting yet fascinating ♥️ great video guys Xx
the estate has over 30 listed buildings as well 🤯
Thanks

Those narrow tunnels in the walls could be used by ghouls/ corpse scavengers.
