Courtoy Mausoleum | Does It Hold A Time Machine?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- Hannah Courtoy (born Peters) was a mysterious woman. She never married, but she inherited a fortune from an elderly merchant by the name of John Courtoy. She worked for him as a housekeeper and later took his name. There are rumors that she was his mistress, but also the mistress of kings, politicians, and other rich, powerful men.
Like many Victorians of the era, Hannah was intrigued by Egyptian iconography, particularly hieroglyphics. Therefore, it is not surprising that she, and two of her three daughters, Elizabeth and Mary-Ann, rest in the tomb with many Egyptian characteristics. The mausoleum was designed by two of Hannah`s good friends, Joseph Bonomi and Samuel Alfred Warner.
The mausoleum was finished in 1853, 5 years after Hannah died. Shortly after the completion of construction, Warner died in suspicious circumstances. Some say he died because of what he discovered while working on the time machine. Others say that Bonomi killed Warner to stop him from telling anyone about their project. Another version of the story is, that Warner didn’t die at all and
simply travelled in time and disappeared.

How interesting! I wish one could go back in time and fix mistakes that one committed. Salutes from Tampa, Florida.
No point dwelling on the past I always say. Concentrate on the present. Welcome to the channel 🇮🇪🙏
Indeed one of the most beautiful mausoleums.
*Egyptian style is timeless and full of mystery.*
What an amazing story. Beautiful mausoleum. That's a fabulous cemetery. Thanks GV!
It really is! Full of history
This is just gorgeous. Look at that beautiful patina on the door. The cemetery alone is phenomenal. Thx!GV.
Glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching
Amazing! Just what if it did hold a time machine...how extraordinary would that be.!!!
I'd love to see inside 👀😁
Lovely cemetery mate
One of the magnificent 7 ❤️
It's just incredible what people, especially rich people would build or think of that could help them in the afterlife.
Greets, Tom.
They really went out in style
Only rich people would indulge in such odd expensive works! Cool story for sure. Nice one GV.😊👍
So true!
Thanks for that wee trip back in time I enjoyed that😀
Love the stone grave with the 8 legs - very unusual but stunning
Ya that one that looked like a bath
Fascinating story! The history!
Thanks Grave!
Thanks liz
Amazing story and amazing mausoleums. Thank you for showing them to us.
Thanks Denise
Lovely Mausoleum, most unusual and a stroke of luck with the chap and his information. Thank you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
These cemeteries have the most beautiful statue's and the crows set it off perfect.
Absolutely they set the scene and story ⌚😱
What an amazing cemetery. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊.
Glad you enjoyed it
bingewatching to catch up to your great videos GV , beautiful vault , loved your new intro ❤
Thanks for the visit ❤️
Wow, this was a great story ! Intriguing woman .. Thank you, GV !
Glad you enjoyed it! It's one to remember isn't it?
@@GraveVisitations It surely is !
That mausoleum is flat out fascinating! It looks to be in very good condition. Unfortunate that the key 🔑 was lost, if that is the case. I wonder if there are any living decendants or family today?
The rest of the cemetery looks to be in fairly good condition, someone needs to cut the grass. Thank you very much GV, for a very informative video.
Thanks Michael this is the full video ua-cam.com/video/cWlKgqBYTN8/v-deo.html
@Grave Visitations Thank you very much GV, I will check it out.
It's a very beautiful historical place and very interesting history!
London is really nice
Wow, GV!! What a mystery!! Who knows what's exactly in that mausoleum?! Tom is SOOOOOO lucky to be able to work there!!
Thanks for sharing this, Cathal!! XXXX 👍💗❤
Our pleasure! It is an interesting one
@@GraveVisitations It's VERY INTERESTING!! I can imagine that Hannah must've caused a bit of a scandal back in the day, with her rather unusual life!!
@@nadiabrook7871 a wild woman lol
@@GraveVisitations My type of woman, then!! 😂😂
@@nadiabrook7871 morty would love her
Egyptian Revival tombs are the best. I've run across one or two Egyptian style mausoleums in my travels in Pennsylvania and New Jersey ( USA).
Not super common over here.
They are a work of art aren't they
There's a mausoleum at Hope Cemetery in Kutztown PA. A rather large communal one. That has the odd combination of a Greco-Roman columned pediment entranceway with a Egyptian Revival style brass door with papyrus motif. And a red tiled roof! Wierd yet cool.
@@Dark_LoreVT wow I'd love to see that
GV a suggestion:You and Sue should set up a private FB group. That would let us Cemetarians ( I made a word 😸) share our wierd findings.
I would luv to go to this cemetery...thanks for sharing. Have a great day, everyone ✌️
You should! It's amazing thanks for watching and have a good day
My sincerest thanks to GV for such a well-made video of the tomb of my relative, Hannah (Peters) Courtoy! She was a longtime friend of my GG grandfather's sister, Mistress Sarah R. (Wood) Kent Smith. The two were involved heavily in the occult, albeit in very benign ways that were largely academic, theoretical, and very much in keeping with the stylistic interests of their day.
Thanks for watching
Thanks Tom for the info❤️ I thought it represented a clock(time). Don't understand why they don't put names where they can be seen. Great video❤️
Thanks Brenda, it does look different. A big mystery
I have seen this before but the gentleman's explanation really gives one a better understanding of what they were trying to do. The one thing nobody has mentioned is: is there anyone buried inside this masoleum along with the so-called time machine? Just wondering.
Hi Janet he did mention in the video hannah Courtoy and her daughters are buried in mausoleum.
@@GraveVisitations Oh, I didn't hear that. My bad or I am deaf! 😂
Fascinating history..Love this cemetery ❤
We love London cemeteries
I really enjoyed the video especially with the extra information 💕very well done 💕❤️💕
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing story, can just imagine it vanishing x
Back to the future
Interesting story! I bet that "time travel" mausoleum is empty inside. Convenient that the key has gone missing.
Who knows
Awesome. Thank you GV
Glad you enjoyed it Vivian
Great story GV,amazing how the key to the vault has disappeared………or has it ?safe travels,🙏🙏👋👋👍🇦🇺
It's a big mystery I hope someone will open it some day maybe not in our lifetime tho Peter
Maybe when we passed we might meet those people who can tell,take care god bless you all.🙏🙏🇦🇺
A very nice Egyptian style Mausoleum! It reminds me of the papyrus plant the Egyptians loved.
If you look, the round parts are wound with bindings like papyrus reeds bound for harvest. The very top is supposed to be reminiscent of the papyrus flowers in bloom.
Notice the false doors? They are supposed to be for the spirit to go from this realm to the spirit realm and back. And the taper of the walls are to make it look taller than it really is. It was built during the height of the Egyptian 'revival' the world had for the Egyptians at the time.
Is there glass in the upper 'vents', or are they open, where you could use a pole camera to look inside?
However, most Mausoleums have a low ceiling and any openings on top don't look into the inside, unless the ceiling has collapsed!
I doubt you could get a snake camera under the door, but may be an option?
Looks completely blocked up unfortunately. The vent does look like glass something I haven't seen before.
@@GraveVisitations It would be something to see inside with the sun shining through!
The movie, "The Time Machine", might be a good one to watch. Made in the 1960's.
I'll look it up cheers
Very interesting I'd like to visit Brompton cemetery one day .
You should! It's beautiful
Wow, thank you!!!
You're welcome!
I would really like to see you do this location again maybe a longer video possibly
Hi this is the full video ua-cam.com/video/cWlKgqBYTN8/v-deo.html
@@GraveVisitations thank you so much for the link to the video
couldn't you have got the camera into some of those mausoleums matey
Didn't have a torch we only went to London for few days so couldn't bring one on plane. I have loads of videos where I look into mausoleums and crypts 👍
I am not an expert on time machines. Looks like the early Egyptian MK2 Tardis, because the Egyptian MK1 Tardis did not have the compass dial at the top. The bit that looks like a clock. But the clock having 12 points & that only having 8 points leads me to believe it's a compass. But being a time machine, direction would actually be more important than time. For time travel you would have to align directions before time, for a successful journey..... But like my tattoos on my thumbs, the circle & 8 points have 3 meanings. 1. The directions of the compass with its 8 points. 2. The wheel of fortune with its 8 points. 3. The spirit symbol with its 8 points. The best way to know is, go down at night when its very dark , stand facing the door from a distance & see if the circle dot at the top of the circle aligns with the North Star, if it does then you know it's a compass thing. I know there is one on each side, but the one above the door would be the one aligned with the North Star . I think .
I was only in London for few days so wouldn't be around unfortunately as I live in Ireland. Very interesting tho what you say thanks for watching.
@@GraveVisitations yes I know you live in Ireland. But just in case you see another or someone else sees your video & then sees the time machine . They could check. What I only just started doing ,but I will do more is start figuring out some symbols & see which way or what the angels are pointing at. Especially on the older head stones. I have noticed a lot of them point to the North Star & some point to other angels or monuments in the grave yard & then you can follow the point & sometimes it's very interesting what they are pointing at. I don't visit as many as you & Sue though.👍👍
Wonderful history. Strange and yes interesting.
👍
Yes thanks for the video and time machine? Could be.
Any time
What a find.
Beautiful mausoleum
@@GraveVisitations I agree.
WoW! What a way to wake up! ❤
Very interesting story isn't it
@@GraveVisitations incredible! Thanks! 😊❤
courtoy mausoleum i need to visit this
Well worth a look
That sure is a big one.
Huge
Enjoyed this one. Wonder where the key is. 🤔🤔☘️
Good question!
What is the door made out of ?
Open it up!
I'll just go and get key lol
Beautiful sculpted stone work.....
Egyptian style was a big thing in victorian times
Couldn’t they get locksmith to open it or make key for it.
A skeleton key 😁
@@GraveVisitations John its simply fascinating mausoleum it’s beautiful 😍
kinda looks like the men in black elevator.!
Haha
This is my family moseleum
Oh really that's nice
Hello GV how are u💕💕💕💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Tina
no cialatane
Thanks for watching
Wow, beautiful! Wondering if that shorter mausoleum was made by the same maker as the tall Courtoy time machine, sure looks similar in design. ⚙️🕰️
I think the victorians back then built alot of mausoleums in the Egyptian style they were fascinated by Egypt
Read courtoy complaints by David godson and your see the real truth.
Get a locksmith and bust in the Time Machine 🫢😂 you may end up somewhere else 😮🥰
Back to the future 😁
