Pleased you enjoyed our local ruin. Thank you for the drone footage, I've never seen it from that angle before. There is an information board with writing on it, but you missed it. It's visible in the background to the immediate left of you when you're sitting down at the end. Looks like you found a bit of information online anyway. I'm glad you found the Soper obelisk. John Burgess Soper was a wealthy Victorian industrialist and landowner who basically owned the entire area of South View and built affordable houses for poor people. Most of what he built has since been completely demolished and replaced but there are two roads in the immediate vicinity named after him, Burgess Road and Soper Grove. He and his wife Ann (who is on the next side of the obelisk) were possibly also great great great grandparents of mine, although I've not been able to verify that. The cemetery is now decommissioned, making it more of an interesting park, so it's a popular place for dog walkers.
Fascinating. I find these explorations just as interesting as the celebrity visits. Thank you for capturing the essence of the place so beautifully. 🙏🏼
Hi Paul, the footpath with the markings are headstone. The cemetery had changes years ago and instead of removing the headstones they laid the footpath with them. My late dad worked for Basingstoke and dean council who laid those headstones
Lovely cemetery Paul with lots of unusual graves …it’s so heartbreaking to see the military graves …The sacrifices they all made . It was lovely to see you in the coffee cup today and meet you in person.Thankyou Paul Another great video.Pam X💞
Thank you Paul for doing this video l love when you do old building and history about them thank you putting wot happened there all them years ago any way thank you again ❤
Another great video paul Beautiful place loved the ruins at the end Love the scenes with the drone and that music was lovely well done R i p to all those young men bless 🙏🥀
Another great video loved the drone footage accompanied by my favourite music that you have played on your videos from the beginning. Love the ruins love a bit of history and the cemetery even though it could do with a bit of TLC.
Really enjoyed walking around this cemetery with you Paul. It a huge place! So many different styles of grave headstones. Also, I love the music you use, very relaxing. Would love to know who it is.😉👍🌟
Lovely video Paul. Basingstoke doesn't have much in the way of interesting architecture, being a relatively new town, but this graveyard is beautiful. It is a shame that the church authorities haven't put up more info about the ruin. Still a peaceful place to go. Thanks. 😃
I'm Basingstoke born and bred, you are very wrong about it being a new town! Jane Austen was born in the nearby town of Steventon in 1775 and often visited Basingstoke to attend Ball's in the Town Hall with her sister Cassandra. In addition, the town was recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086, it has held a regular weekly market since the year 1214! It still exists to this day. And let's not forget during the Civil War, there was the siege of Basing House from 1643-1645. The ruins can be visited including the Tudor tunnels
@@katewolfspirit6722 Sorry, I did not know that Basingstoke went that far back. When I was at school in the 60's and 70's, it was always known as Basingstoke New Town, just like Milton Keynes and Welwyn Garden City. When you drive into Basingstoke, all you see are buildings less than 60 years old from when Basingstoke was included in the London overflow planning from 1944. There are a few nice Georgian buildings around the market area near Jane Austins statue, but on the whole, the town does not advertise its' ancient past, which is why it gets missed. Sorry.
I looked up online about the ruins very interesting how it was when all standing in full I just put in the details of it I never visited it I thought it was the other ruins we have called old basing we have alot of history here too and apparently the glass windows of this church are now in the vyne at sherborne st John a village near Basingstoke it's a historic house too worth a visit . Thank you Paul I did watch but my device kept freezing on me but I have watched in full now too . Thank you
A mate and myself were having a few bevvies and I mentioned your channel as being one of the best on RUclips,whats he like??He enquired,I told him you were a bit like Larry Grayson but less butch!!Carry on doing what youre doing Paul all the vlogs are first class
What a fantastic video. I love these sort of videos just as much as celebrities.. I think you should do more like this stuff.. walking around looking at unusual headstones is just as interesting. Shame about those soldiers sooo young it's good to try and keep them remembered.. Once again paul thank you for excellent video ❤
Paul really enjoyed this video . I have a place in mind that you might want to visit Copped Hall in Epping . It hasbeen fully restored . However in the early late 80s early 90s it was a burnt out shell of a place the me and some friends used to go to because of rummors of hauntings etc . Keep up good work looking forward to next video
Really enjoyed this. I love the old gravestones and the derelict buildings. A nice place. A bit unkempt here and there but a lot of old cemetery's are. Everywhere has its scruffy bits ha ha. Thank you Paul.
Great video, it’s a lovely cemetery, but you missed a real gem of a story of Mrs Blunden who was buried alive twice, there is a blue plaque on the wall in the cemetery, but you can find the story online. Hope you find it ok
Hi Paul Great video as usual. Try Combe Gibbet for somewhere unusual. It was erected in 1676 for the purpose of gibbeting the bodies of George Broomham and Dorothy Newman and has only ever been used for them. Keep up the good vids. Matt & Kate
Basingstoke 3000bc settlement's lots of hostory its only been built up recently new shopping centre in tecent gone by but if you go back it does have alot of history architecture too
Just a TIP! Next time you go to a cemetery, take brush (and cloth) and a little bottle of vinegar with you! With the vinegar and brush you might get text on these headstones readable! Always use a cloth to wipe it dry... 😊
Hello Paul, that was a beautiful video. It did end up looking like a big cemetery. Sad that they hadn't cut the grass. Love your stories and drone shots, the music you play when flying is lovely 😊 have a wonderful week and look forward to seeing you soon on another story. Also, your talking my language with executions and spirits, 👻. Xx love from Australia
Hello Paul Your surname is Alland My paternal side My great grandmothers name was Alland The family came from Kent Back in the 1870’s So my grandmother born as an Alland in 1898 She married my grandfather - a Wheelwright from Aston, Birmingham My grandparents spent many holidays in Southsea as there was a connection to Portsmouth From around 1932 every year till just around 1937 👍 👍 🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧😃😃
@@UnusualThings1 There may be several types of spelling Writing back then was not very good I’ve learnt this looking into my maternal side 😃😃🏴🏴❤️❤️
Hi Paul just subscribed to Yr channel real luv it so interesting could u do a to FRP of Sid James/James Robertson Justice /Richard Wattis/Alistair Sim/Angela Baddley best wishes David Tunbridge Wells Kent.
Hi Paul thank you for another great video 😊 I have to say when you have the drone out flying high as a Birds Eye view with the music playing…absolutely beautiful ❤ Thank you
I clicked on this video as Basingstoke was mentioned .. then you said you were ex RAF .... My dad was a Londoner who joined the RAF for his national service. He ended up stationed at Odiham and Blackbushe Airports, Where he made history being a F.I.D.O opperater. It was while he was here that he met and married my mum, a local girl from Yateley. After marriage they moved to dad's roots here in the Eastend. Mum hated london so when she passed away we took her back home to Heathlands at Yateley. A year later dad passed away and his wish was to part burried with mum and part scattered at his beloved Blackbushe, which we did last year. thought you might like the story being a Hampshire lad ... so to an ex 'brylcream boy' from the very proud daughter of an ex 'brylcream boy' .. Per Ardua Ad Astra .... also end note been following your content for a few years now and always a real intresting and captivating video.
There is a really old church in Wentworth Yorkshire, there are some very old headstones and a very interesting old church that is partially in ruins if you would be interested.
A good and interesting video - Some thoughts - Wondering if you could visit the Cemetery at the old Netley hospital - while as far as I’m aware no one really famous is buried there, there’s a lot of history, also the Naval Cemetery on Portland where the sailors from the Sidon disaster are interred , both places I think have atmosphere - also possibly prison grounds - the executed where often buried but in unmarked graves. Here in Reading or around we have George Cole, Sue Lloyd and Ronald Alan
Hi Paul have you visited Bramshot church near Liphook lots of Canadian soldiers who died with the Spanish flu I believe maybe from nearby longmoor camp. Margaret
Definitely do the spiritual. How is the war graves separately from the other war graves, you should come to Chippenham Wiltshire St Andrews Church, not very big, interesting graves specially the one s laying on the floor, (not by pushed off etc) Thank you
Hi Paul, just wondering if you know if there is any famous people in a cemetery in Southend on sea Essex, Sutton road cemetery, I have tried to find out but not got anywhere? Love watching your videos.
Graves are like history books amazing place to wonder god bless those sleeping souls thanks paul
Love the videos fascinating ❤
Hi Paul what amazing cemetery thanks for sharing take care 👍
I have so much respect for the gentlemen and ladies who fought for our freedom....

Yes, it's a story I've heard many times over the years. I wonder how it could possibly have happened once, let alone twice! Shocking and horrifying.
Very interesting Paul thankyou ❤️😊👍🏻
I've really enjoyed this Paul, something a bit different 👍👻
Great video Paul. Thank you
Brilliant video Paul as always xx
Hi Paul
Great video as usual. Try Combe Gibbet for somewhere unusual. It was erected in 1676 for the purpose of gibbeting the bodies of George Broomham and Dorothy Newman and has only ever been used for them. Keep up the good vids.

Near me Paul 😊 can't wait
Loved it!
Basingstoke 3000bc settlement's lots of hostory its only been built up recently new shopping centre in tecent gone by but if you go back it does have alot of history architecture too

Hi Paul, you were talking about places of executions. That’s a great idea. One great location is Smithfield in the City 👍
I Live 5 minuets from here!! i go here all the time it's very peaceful...there was a lady buried alive there apparently
Captain John Aidan Liddell born in new castle too he's a got a beautiful resting place too bless him I looked up on Wikipedia on him

Those small holes in the grass that are dotted about are caused by rabbits digging, I've seen them hopping about. Cheeky bunnies ;-))
There's a grave In the churchyard near to where I live and it's over 1000 years old.
Hi Paul it's Gemma 👋😁😊🎉🎉
The pigeons are stalking you for insulting the one that flew at you during the live 😂
Those dogs you are like me got to stop for a dog a cat or a pigeon 😊
