Thank you Sinead. I'm sorry to hear that some people don't appreciate your respect for the people resting there. I also love that you take the time to learn the stories of some of these people. It just reminds me that everyone has their own stories, even though nobody else may know it.
The history of these individuals resting here is truly remarkable
The amazing lives some people led it’s fascinating
Thanks for watching
Sinead
Your a very respectful person Sinead ignore silly comments from others.. u carry on doing the great work you do my lovely xx ❤️
How lovely if you to say Danzel
Thank you sincerely
Sinead
Thank you for the tour Sinead. The graveyard was beautiful and so peaceful. The memorial for the little boy was breathtaking and very sad. May they all rest in peace.
That Medi memorial truly broke my heart what a stunning dedication to his young soul
Thanks as always Candice
Sinead
My parents and brother are buried just up from Medi it really has to be seen to believe how beautiful it really is. And his parents are happy for people to go inside and sit. There grief was so visible it broke my heart seeing them under a gazebo but their love truly shone through with his memorial ❤
How very beautiful is the little boys Memorial. And what an exceptional little boy he was with his charitable work.
Agreed!
Headstones in graveyards of the Northwest (USA) reveal so much about the lives of early settlers. Thank you for your wonderful series.
Our pleasure - thank you for watching :)
Beautiful! I love older cemeteries - I've always found them peaceful and soothing. I enjoy seeing the care and artistry that loved ones put into memorials for the deceased.
Glad that you enjoyed the video. If you haven't done so already, you can hopefully check out our back catalogue of virtual London tours ua-cam.com/users/FreeToursbyFootLondonvideos. There is more where this came from.
Try nunhead cemetery in London.
I love to walk through cemeteries and graveyards, I find them so tanquil. I also thank you for the history you share as it is so intresting hearing about peoples lives. Thank you Sinead, beautiful and respectfully done. 💕🇦🇺
Thank you for giving us a tour of this beautiful place, so much history, every stone has a story to tell xxxx
It truly has Joanne so many more stories so little time to tell
Thanks for watching
Sinead
What a truly respectful woman with such class and elegance in the way she presents these tours, Sinead, you are withhout doubt one of the very best tour guides i have ever seen and I've seen a few! I am absolutely addicted to you're videos, i'm hooked!! I would love to see a tour of Muswell Hill, Colney Hatch Lane and its history, having been brought up there by Irish parents, i haven't seen this beautiful place in so many years, caught between two worlds , the green fields of Ireland and the adorable Muswell Hill. I have never seen anything done in this area, with its big Victorian Psychiatric Hospital, its reported plague site at the cementry and its old market at colney hatch. Sinead, your voice is adorable also, so well spoken and warm and your lovely mother with her wise warming words and how true thise words are... stay as you are, beautiful, dignified and intelligent ❤️
Such a lovely comment, Clara! We are glad you enjoy our work. And we will make usr eco add Muswell Hill to our ever growing list :)
Great Tour! Cemeteries are so peaceful and quiet. Lovely parks, really. Thanks for another fab walk!
For you Kathie always a pleasure
Thank you lovely
Sinead
Another beautiful walk around a Victorian cemetery x thank you Sinead for a great video x

Thank you for watching

Hi! My name is Rhonda am from Nebraska USA. I just started watching the videos about three weeks ago. I love the tours in the gravesites you have such respect and sympathy for the dead. Am on a fix income so there no way I will ever be able to come to London or your beautiful Ireland. So this is the only way I would see these city’s. Uk is the only place I ever wanted to see. So thank you for the tours. I really enjoy them you make them so fun.
Welcome to the channel, Rhonda! We are so glad yo found us :)
Very well done and can learn more about history then any book in school. For these are the people who contributed to the world economy 🌎🌎after all it is this story that was the purpose of all of these stones. To me it signifys that your story of. Life can go on. If the people take the time to read. And remember. ❤❤
And thank you so much for the caring work you do. You bring the real written proof of history. Written. By and for the people that lived it. Amazingly this way of viewing some history is as good as any. Prepared video. Hollywood studios could ever make. What you do hopefully will help the. New generations of the 🌎 learn. Who and what. Trough the Grace of God brought them to this point in history. 🤔🙏
I love walking through these cemeteries with you. My Mum worked for the Cemeteries Dept of London Borough of Lewisham & so did my Father in law. They arranged our blind date (been together for over 52 yrs now) & we had our Engagement Party in the large office of father in law in Ladywell Cemetery.
Linda this is amazing
We truly are the definition of taphophiles
Thanks for sharing
Sinead
Great story, Linda!
Thank you Sinead for another fascinating tour. I love what your mother said about the graveyard by your house. I'd think that the dead would make wonderfully quiet neighbors. I love the elaborate grave markers and all of the symbolism. Where i live in the US, grave markers are way less elaborate. Usually just a headstone.
Sinead, you and your videos are the best. When you're in a church or a cemetery you always show respect but when your somewhere fun or loud you turn up the volume. Thanks.......
The stone work is really beautiful, you get a feeling for the personality of the people buried there.
I'm envious that Sinead lives beneath a cemetery but am thrilled with planned tours for the Halloween season. I've seen so many tours by Sinead later copied by others but Sinead's always remains the best.
Thank you for the untiring tour and showing us the beauty of your country and rich history
Glad you liked this one!
Thank you Sinead for another peaceful tour. Xo
Always look forward to your walks through the graveyards, so informative and with the added bonus of your lovely voice, ATB
Thank you Levi
What an amazing comment
Thanks for watching
Sinead
Brilliant as usual Sinead! Isn't it amazing how silent and serene graveyards are? Just the sound of birds. A perfect resting place.
I love the way you are taking the time to show the country thank you
Glad that you enjoyed the video, Linda. If you haven't done so already, you can hopefully check out our back catalogue of virtual London tours ua-cam.com/users/FreeToursbyFootLondonvideos. There is more where this came from.
i Googled the name of the little boy with that most stunning memorial that was ever built, Medi Mehra. what a very tragic story😓😓😓his parents turned their anguish, pain into something so beautiful yet so poignant. you can feel their sadness by looking at it. thank you so much for this video💕 love from the Philippines.
Thank you Sinead. The cemetery is so beautiful and peaceful. In the cemeteries I've visited in the U. S. not as many burial plots are outlined with rock or stone. Your cemeteries are much more natural with all of the leaves everywhere on the ground and the grass growing over the plots. Some of the trees you show just as you are signing off are huge. They must have been planted many, many years ago.
Thanks for your support, Beverley!
Thank you for another wonderful tour of the magnificent 7
My pleasure Julia
Thank you for watching
Sinead
Hi Sinead, I’ve recommended you to a UA-cam couple called Grimmlifecollective in America who I follow. They are coming over to the UK name and I’ve told them how brilliant your channel is for the amazing walks you do around our graveyards and cemeteries. I hope they subscribe. My husband have completed 2 of the 7 and this will be the 3rd. Thank you ❤️
Truly enjoy your tours ♥️ from California USA
Thanks for your support, Tammy!
That memorial for the young boy is beautifully painful.
My first thought was what a grand structure, something like from centuries past. Then it hit me , the money that was spent and love that went into it should of be going towards his hobbies, education and all the things that as parents we stride to provide for our children to have a happy healthy future. That was taken from them . I have 3 sons , and i am sat here with tears rolling down my face, i can’t imagine the pain those parents endure. . . It’s a beautiful space they created.
Such a thought-provoking comment, Catherine. Thank you!
These are my favorite type of videos Sinead! Yesssss back to spooky content ❤
Many many more to come Moose
Stay tuned
Sinead
Also love visiting graveyards, my brother and I spent many days visiting graveyards in central west NSW last year when I was on holiday with him
Thanks Sinead for yet another great touring video - I wish you were my tour guide when I went to England.
Hopefully I can be again sometime Valerie
Thanks for watching
Sinead
That just means you'll have to come back, Valerie!
All my friends and family were laid to rest in Kensil Rise Cemetery. I do believe it is also consecrated ground.
Thank you for this tour! The Brunel’s, Bergman and Rickman to name only a few of the individuals who share this lovely resting place. Another of your interesting and entertaining videos.
Thank you Thomas I’m sure there was sooo many more to cover just narrowed them down to my interests
Thanks for watching
Sinead
Thanks so much Sinead. You have the been very respectful Enjoyed the tour very much
Glad you liked this one!
Thanks for taking us along Sinead. I really appreciate what you do! Wonderful tour and so informative and you are always so respectful of your surroundings whether it be a graveyard or a church. I appreciate you taking the time and making the effort and I will continue to watch for sure. Sending warm regards from South Africa.
I accidently came across your channel by searching for tour of cemeteries. I have always found them to be soulfully peaceful. I live in Ontario, and we have beautiful sites but nothing so historic. I absolutely love following your tours. Thank you so much for sharing!
Welcome to the channel, Shelley! We are glad you found us :) More cemeteries to come in future, too.
Wonderful tour . The trees are so graceful and beautiful. The wind blowing through them makes a soothing sound . The respect shown these graves compared to some that are vandalized here in America is truly significant.
Glad you liked this! You may also enjoy our other cemetery videos: ua-cam.com/play/PLo-M-WVj_1Ag_HYzErI1-svYdDmHPHgpN.html

So pleased you enjoyed it
Sinead
Hi. I love your tour. I'm passionate about London and history. Keep walking. Hugs from New Zealand. xx
Thanks for the support, Lory!
Harold Pinter, husband of Antonia Fraser is buried here. But most important to me is Marigold Churchill. She was the daughter of Winston and Clementine. She died at aged 3. She was buried here as temporary burial because Winston was the head of the Admiralty and could not spend the time to transport her to St. Martin's Church in Bladen in Oxfordshire where the entire Churchills are buried. When they could move her they found out that the policy of Kensal Green does not allow exhumation. She is buried alone. I had contacted the management of the cemetery regarding where exactly she was buried. They kindly sent me a map. I never visited Kensal Green because someone told me it was not in a safe neighborhood and that it would not be wise for me to go on my own. I also believe the cemetery goes along the Regent Canal. I do love your cemetery tours. Btw, Edith Piaf is indeed buried at Pere Lachaise. I have visited her grave. I do not agree with you hat Kensal Green reminds you of Pere Lachaise as that cemetery has cobble-stone paths. Best to you, Jane, Philadelphia
Oh wow, what an incredible and sad story, Jane. Thank you for sharing with us.
thank you so much for this video. ive lived right by this cemetery throughout my life, i practically learnt how to ride a bike there, and it became a place where i go to clear my mind as a teenager. i left for university in an entirely new city and ive missed kensal green cemetery so much, this video was practically like being back there! i love your videos, keep it going
So glad you liked this one, Sofia!
Very impressive tour. Seeing the old paintings and illustrations really added to the museum feel to this amazing place.
Glad that you enjoyed the video, Ken! If you haven't done so already, you can hopefully check out our back catalogue of virtual London tours ua-cam.com/users/FreeToursbyFootLondonvideos. There is more where this came from.
"Don't give away spooky ideas " so true Sinead!😉
I’m sure you have many people all over this world following your intriguing tours through the mysterious past and extraordinary history of London itself!
I’m tuning in from Yakima Washington Pacific Northwest USA.
Welcome, Mike!
Do take care when you are walking these graveyards, they look very lonely and isolated to me. Love this one thank you.
I really enjoy your tours of these old cemeteries and we have some here in Baltimore Maryland that are very old with beautiful statuary and headstones , mausoleums and such as Greenmount and Loudon Park ( Where the funeral scene is the 1972 Mafia movie " The Godfather " was filmed ) . There is also Westminster Churchyard where Edgar Allen Poe and his wife and mother in law are buried . I was in this cemetery on a damp , chilly, overcast day in November and while I was the only living person there I did not feel alone . Your walking tours are great and I know I'll watch them more than once .
Thank you for sharing, Dennis!
Great live video I enjoyed it can't wait to see more soon. Have a great day 👍😀
Thank you so much for this great tour of this cemeteries. I have always been a lover of cemeteries, maybe because me mom was a secretary at one of the largest cemeteries is our area. I've always said that England had the most beautiful cemeteries in the world. Each one looks to be made with a great deal of care and they seem so individual. I love the way they seem open to the public more so than the USA. Thanks again for the wonderful tour.
So glad you liked it, Pat, and thank you for sharing!
Informative,creepy and interesting is your tour. You have a great knowledge and a lovely way of presenting the facts , well done.
So glad you enjoyed it, Kevin!
A wonderful tour of this magnificent….place….of…eternal…rest 😔 In its own macabre way…it is a glorious exhibition of architecture and a Who‘s Who of past British celebrities, like Isambard Kingdom Brunel among many other examples you have shown 😊
The Magnificent 7 are so underrated
Architecturally historically and more importantly the incredible people interred there
I feel at home when guiding there
Thanks sincerely for your kind words
Sinead
Thank you, Sinead! Wonderful video!

Thank you. I enjoyed this very much. I love reading graves in old cemeteries. I am in the US and cemeteries vary greatly in their appearances according to age. Needless to say they still are interesting.

This 2023,nov2 soul day and i see your wonderful video.
Love the explanations and educating on the meaning of things! TY :)
Great video and stories.
I think a nice touch would have been noting the pub you passed, the Mason's Arms, named for the stone Mason's that created the gravestons. Also, a lovely little sign on the on the opposite side of the road, on the sign of an old Mason's shop.

Hi Sinead from Australia i have just starting watching your videos, it has really pipped my interest to Visit London in the near future, my ancestor’s came out to Oz in 1796 as free settlers with their 3 Children they had another one out here, they lived or were married in Westminster somewhere , I am really loving your videos so interesting and full of great info Thank you so much for your hard work
Welcome to the channel, Yvonne!
As usual so informative and well presented Sinead.
Glad you liked It, Peter!
Hi Sinead,
Thanks for these well informed tours. I dont know why Brunel gets so much publicity for the GWR as the LNER was much larger and predated it --- the Stockton and Darlington railway for eg.
Thanks again.
Always a pleasure
just found your streams have subscribed look forward to watching all your other streams

So interesting Sinead, thank you for your research & respectful commentary. I'm really looking forward to the Tower Hamlets Cemetery video. St Patrick's Catholic Cemetery in Leytonstone is also well worth a visit another Victorian graveyard with interesting monuments and final resting place Of Mary Kelly (Jack the Rippers final victim).
So glad you enjoyed this one, Bernadette! We have a few other cemetery videos to hold you over until the next one comes: ua-cam.com/play/PLo-M-WVj_1Ag_HYzErI1-svYdDmHPHgpN.html :)
