I remember Norris and his brother on Record Breakers with Roy Castle. Jeez, time really does fly. Sometimes it seems like forever ago, but other times it's just like yesterday. Thank you for sharing this
Roy Castle was a legend shame I didn't meet the guy I just watch clips of Roy Castle ever so often especially playing the trumbone and other instruments also he died 4 years before I was born.
Norris had a great mind for knowledge. There was nothing that man didn’t know, especially when Roy Castle use to put him too the test. Okay you didn’t find his headstone but you found a very peaceful resting place. More importantly keeping a memory alive by telling his story. Happy TV days for me. ❤
I used to love watching the twins on Record Breakers. Their memories were astounding. It's a shame they weren't buried together. Thank you for the video. Still worth watching even if you didn't find him.
Thanks for filming your video and for looking for Norris's grave. Although you didn't find a headstone it was good to be reminded of Norris and his part in the Record Breakers TV show. I remember him and Roy Castle. Rest in Peace to them both. Xx
My heart goes out to you Paul but despite of not finding Norris's final resting place you brought back many memories from our childhood days. I used to be in awe of his knowledge of about almost everything! Conducted with great humility and respect as always 👏
I remember being amazed by Norris's knowledge, i remember feeling sad for him losing his twin although i don't recall knowing how he lost him. Although i was young i thought Norris was a lovely kind man. that's how i remember him. Rip Norris, now reunited with your brother Ross, rip both xx
I agree with Darran your videos and graveyard tours are easy going to watch, and of course very informative. I remember watching the brothers on many occasions, clever brothers.
Thanks Paul, yes sometimes this happens, ive had it happen to me, keep searching 😉. I remember seeing him at the status quo rock till you drop concert when quo got the record for most gigs in a day.
Hey Paul, sorry you couldn’t locate this time around. I’ve lived in London, Kent, Sussex, Ireland and Aachen in Germany. Aachen has an amazing cemetery there called West Friedhof that’s exactly 1000 Metres to the Border with The Netherlands. A wealthy English family of industrialists called The Cockerill family are buried here. Their final resting place is certainly grand. Also several Unknown Soviet graves here too. Only 3:15 minutes away on a Eurostar via Belgium!!
Lovely video as usual Paul , it’s just so nice to see the beautiful graveyard and church …very tranquil and peaceful…best wishes and Thankyou for getting up so early 👌
Hi Paul, I'm loving the new background tune as your chatting. Liked Norris and Roy Castle as a team on record breakers. Ive collected the book Guinness book of records every year since 1991. I admit alot of the entries now are quite silly though.
Another great video Paul, shame we couldn't see Norris this time, it happens mate.. however it was still good to have a walk through the churchyard with you, take care mate see you on the next vid 👍
Blimey!! That bought back memories of after school programmes, sitting on the sofa with your 10p mix and the latest copy of The Beano, lol!! Might be a good follow up to look for Roy Castles resting place next Paul, unless he was cremated? Thanks for another video, keep them coming!! 👍
👋 Paul wow this brings back memories, i used to watch Norris and Ross Ms MCwhirter great knowledge they had on every subject Guinness book of records may they rest in peace 🙏😇
Hi paul how you doing matey. Even though you didn't find Norris's grave it was still nice to walk through the cemetery with you. I love your channel keep them coming.
Paul, brilliant research. I did not remember that Ross was killed. That must have been so hard for his family, but especially Norris. Thanks for sharing.
Spooky intro Paul sorry you had a wild goose chase shame please don’t stop doing what you’re doing look forward to your videos so much your a breath of fresh air and so cute too much love take care xx❤️😊
AHH HARD LUCK PAUL BUT DONT FRET THESE THINGS HAPPEN AND YOU STILL GAVE US A GLIMPSE OF ANOTHER LOVELY GRAVEYARD WE ENJOY WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL ANYWAY IM SURE NORRIS WILL TURN UP MAY HE REST IN PEACE 🙏🥀
Hi Paul, I remember the show called record breakers, hosted by Roy Castle. He died from lung cancer yet he didn't smoke. It was from his playing trumpet in clubs where the air was full of smoke. I wonder where he was rested.
Read an article (daily mail) that the family have moved Ross to be with Norris so they may be elsewhere. I got the impression the family were choosing the final destination for them both. Ross was apparently in an unmarked grave due to the terrorist threat prior to Norris dying.
Yes I remember Norris McWhirter with Roy Castle are used to watch are coming back from school it was fascinating for me I like things like that thank you for sharing that shame couldn’t find a headstone 🪦great video you take care keep safe all the family drive carefully 😊👍😊👍
Hi Paul, Thank you for sharing another church and cemetery tour. Something becoming noticeable with each video is the declining condition of English churches. Is this perhaps reflecting a greater issue of parishioners abandoning attending regular services slowing or seriously reducing funding. Despite not concluding with the unveiling of the final resting place, it still felt complete, perhaps in some strange way another record to be logged in there famous book. Nice.
iv gor pkenty of ur videos to catch uo on once things get back to normal as can be as ic been through alot in the last 3 month even finding out dads got terminal cancer 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Jeez, i didn’t know his brother was murdered. My partner & I always contacted the churchnor the council who are usually very helpful. There is a church inbetween where I live & where she lives, we knew a woman had been murdered in 1887 in that area & were sure shecwas buried in that church, I contacted them, the person who looks after the grounds had done a lot of work finding out information about each grave, he showed us exactly where her UNMARKED graves was. Always wirth a phone call/email. Nothing to lose. That how we found out the information on the internet about the Crossroads actor's/married couple Ronald Allan & Sue Lloyd was wrong, listed as burried in Reading but are not. Perhaps his grave stone can't be read.
Is there any chance you could please make a video of John Bonham's grave ? He'll be gone 42 years on the 25th September this year.(Tomorrow as of writing).
Hi Paul. Found a link to a photo of Norris’ headstone. The information says it’s in ‘St. Peter’s, Kington Langley’, is this the same churchyard you visited? From the limited surroundings visible in the photo, I’m not sure it’s the same place. If you go on Norris’s Wikipedia entry, find the ‘Burial Place’ heading on the right of the page and click on the blue (1) after England which will bring up a ‘Citation’ window. Click on the highlighted text and it opens a window to some photo’s entitled ‘Kington St. Michael - Kington Langley - Langley Burrell - Chippenham - Bath’ and Norris’ headstone is featured in the third row down of photos, click on the photo to enlarge. Apologies if I am telling you something you already know! Kind regards, Mark
Hi Mark yes I went to the other churchyard and it wasn’t there either. I honestly think that picture looks like it has a CGI effect to it. I walked around both churchyards and looked at every single headstone…. I’m always cool with people live in comments about things so don’t worry about that mate. 🙏
Paul, I presume you found Norris's grave at Find a Grave. I sent a message to the member of Find a Grave who posted the photo of Norris Mcwhirter's grave. He said there is an error at Find a Grave. Norris is buried at St Peter's Kington Langley. I know you went to another churchyard which I presume was that one but you missed him.
Hi Stephen, Yes I went to the other churchyard I looked at every single headstone I honestly think that picture is of a blank grave with CGI writing on it, of his name. I looked around both churchyards for ages at every single one
@@UnusualThings1 I hadn't thought about that. The outside of the stone looks very worn doesn't it and the rest looks new. I've just found a list of burials at Kington Langley, no mention of Norris. The member has sent over 200 photos to the site so he seems genuine, but that photo doesn't look right . I can't find a list for the other churchyard. www.wiltshire-opc.org.uk/Items/Kington%20Langley/Kington%20Langley%20-%20St.%20Peter's%20Churchyard%20Survey.pdf
St Peter’s churchyard Kington Langley Wiltshire is where he is buried according to find a grave. That church looks very different to the one in your video. Still very informative though, thank you
Still a good video and a lovely Churchyard. Come to Staffordshire please. Patrick Earl of Lichfield our late Queen's cousin is buried at Colwich Church. Also crime files Christina Colins 1800's murder on the canal story reproduced bt Colin Dexter for Inspector Morse 'The Wench is Dead' buried in St. Augustine's Churchyard, Rugeley.
Yes, Staffordshire. I've been to Sir Robert Peel's grave at Drayton Bassett near Tamworth. Should be one for the crime files has he founded the modern day police force, I think?
Hi Paul. You were so close to Norris but at the wrong church. I think you were at St Peter's Langley Burrell. He's buried at St Peter's Kington Langley, about 1.2 miles away
On Findagrave there is a picture of the stone - if you are a member there I would suggest you try messaging the person who posted the photo and ask them where it was. They posted the photo in 2020 so may still remember, it isn't THAT long ago. Strange, though, as it doesn't look a big place.
@@UnusualThings1 well, you could always still send them a message. If they don’t reply then obviously it’s dodgy. But it could just be that something happened to the stone.
Talking of Record Breakers and slightly off topic, I saw that Up The Khyber has been released on Bluray. Obviously featuring Roy Castle who was the main TV presenter. With all the PC woke crap in the current world, I never thought I'd ever see that one ever released. I used to watch Record Breakers as a young boy. Norris's knowledge was incredible, he could tell you facts off the top of his head when questioned. Amazing guy
I can understand your disappointment in not finding his grave, I wondered if it was hiding behind those brambles, but I don't think taking some secateurs to them would be appreciated! It would be nice to see if you can find Ross Mcwhirter's grave, I remember him being shot by the IRA, but didn't understand why at the time.
hi paul not been on latey theys alot going on in my life we LAY MAM TO REST ON MONDAY.. IM RECOVERING FROM MY HEART OPERATION GREAT. WELL BACK TO UR VIDEO 🙏🙏😊😊😊😊👍
I find Paul's presentation style so easy-going.
So much respect for his subject, Paul, you're class Sir
I agree and If I was the boss of the BBC I would sign Paul up as a presenter.
Yep, Paul is totally respectful and very understanding. His style of presentation is first class.
Me too
I totally agree
I remember Norris and his brother on Record Breakers with Roy Castle. Jeez, time really does fly. Sometimes it seems like forever ago, but other times it's just like yesterday. Thank you for sharing this

This brings back childhood memories.
Thank you so much 💖💖💖
Thanks for filming your video and for looking for Norris's grave. Although you didn't find a headstone it was good to be reminded of Norris and his part in the Record Breakers TV show. I remember him and Roy Castle. Rest in Peace to them both. Xx
Lady Godiva is buried top of Hill St Coventry city centre. Right next to the Cathedral. That would be an interesting one.
My neck of the woods
Wasn't she buried nude ?
My heart goes out to you Paul but despite of not finding Norris's final resting place you brought back many memories from our childhood days.
I used to be in awe of his knowledge of about almost everything!
Conducted with great humility and respect as always 👏
They were the days of proper children's programs not like today. We had the best TV kids programs and television 📺
I remember being amazed by Norris's knowledge, i remember feeling sad for him losing his twin although i don't recall knowing how he lost him. Although i was young i thought Norris was a lovely kind man. that's how i remember him. Rip Norris, now reunited with your brother Ross, rip both xx
Still doing all these great vid's....ty and keep going.😍
NEVER disappointed with your videos. Thanks for searching.
I agree with Darran your videos and graveyard tours are easy going to watch, and of course very informative. I remember watching the brothers on many occasions, clever brothers.
Hi Paul, if your ever around Derby area.... Brian Clough would be a great one!
St Alkmund's Church, Duffield
Childhood memories of him and late Roy castle too .. Thanks Paul
Thanks Paul, yes sometimes this happens, ive had it happen to me, keep searching 😉.
I remember seeing him at the status quo rock till you drop concert when quo got the record for most gigs in a day.
Hey Paul, another respectful, interesting video. Your intro reminds me of a 4K version of 'Ghosts & Goblins' I used to play on my C64. ! Cheers bro.
I used to have a C64 too 🙌🙌
Amazing comment,I thought exactly the same thing. Loved that on arcade system

Not disappointed at all…still a good video…I’d forgotten about Norris, I never knew he had a twin brother
A very atmospheric place and a joy to see. Thanks for looking 👍
Blimey!! That bought back memories of after school programmes, sitting on the sofa with your 10p mix and the latest copy of The Beano, lol!!
Might be a good follow up to look for Roy Castles resting place next Paul, unless he was cremated?
Thanks for another video, keep them coming!! 👍
👋 Paul wow this brings back memories, i used to watch Norris and Ross Ms

🥀
Good video Paul thank you x
First remember watching record breakers before the Wogan show in 1985 RIP Norris McWhirter.
Hi Paul, I remember the show called record breakers, hosted by Roy Castle. He died from lung cancer yet he didn't smoke. It was from his playing trumpet in clubs where the air was full of smoke. I wonder where he was rested.
He was cremated and in Liverpool Jimmy
Read an article (daily mail) that the family have moved Ross to be with Norris so they may be elsewhere. I got the impression the family were choosing the final destination for them both. Ross was apparently in an unmarked grave due to the terrorist threat prior to Norris dying.

Hello Paul. Can you check on Mark Hollis grave. He's was the lead singer of Talk Talk.
Thank you still for the information on the Video.
Record breakers with Roy Castle and his trumpet, and I remember the programme well.
Hi Paul,
Thank you for sharing another church and cemetery tour.

Well paul you tryed no worries god bless you and thank you paul xx
He has got up and disappears. It must be frustrating when these things happen. Good luck in locating him.
💜👍💜 i do remember him in children TV shows....👍👍👍
Injoyed the vlog from Margaret P
hi paul great video . it would be great if you visted the grave of Norman wisdom
l remember this guy in the 70s on record breakers watched it when l got home from school he was on the show with roy castle l believe great show
Awful way in which he died. Lovely man. Loved him with his brother Ross and Roy castle in the record breakers. Bless him xxxx
Thank you for sharing this location🪦🧡
Unlucky hun but still a cracking video well done 😊
Never mind Paul it was nice. looking around the grave yard and a quick peek inside the church ❤
Cannot believe Ross Mcwhirter was killed in 1975, I was 9 years old back then, but I remember it being on the news and in the papers, how time flies!
iv gor pkenty of ur videos to catch uo on once things get back to normal as can be as ic been through alot in the last 3 month even finding out dads got terminal cancer 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Rest in peace Norris and Paul I hope you found his headstone Soon!!
Hello Paul never disappointed with your videos, what is meant to be will be my friend. Hope you are well .
Knew who Roy Castle was but not Norris Mcwhirter and record breakers so didnt really know who he was
He definitely had a gothic window shaped stone by an Irish Yew tree. I can’t say if it’s still there but he definitely had a large stone.
That really sad how he's brother died love the Guinness book off record rip norris mcwhirter ❤
Jeez, i didn’t know his brother was murdered. My partner & I always contacted the churchnor the council who are usually very helpful.

Where has the headstone on Find A Grave gone?!
Hopefully you will one day find it . But love the video.
I remember watching Record Breakers same time as Crackerjack,Jackanory, Magpie etc
Great shows, all through our childhood
