This was fascinating! So many people think of cemeteries as scary places, but, really, they aren't. There's so much history in them, so many lives and families represented, and all that most people know about the ones buried in them are the years in which they lived. They were living, breathing human beings who had their own lives, whether short or long or somewhere in between. Even though small spaces aren't my thing, I'd love to be able to get into that crypt to see the pictures at the other end. Here in BC, Canada, we don't have places nearly as old as this, and so stuff like this is of great interest to me, as well as incredible to me how old they are.
I love to see the very old headstones and to look at the Victorian imagery and messages. It is obvious how you have sympathy for the deceased and their families. I can't walk much now but used to love wandering around churchyards and thinking about the people who died.
Avril, I've spent a lot of times myself as a young girl walking and reading headstones for hour's after school on my way home, I think that's why I'm drawn to watching and making my own videos.. truly a beautiful place... 🤗
@@Regina0964 That's exactly what I would do as a schoolgirl. Just loved to read the headstones and shared their lives for just a moment. One thing it did for me, apart from a love of history, it helped me to understand that life is so unfair. It taught me to treasure the minute, the now, because that's all that we have, and to enjoy the golden minutes to the full. That really helped when I was widowed a long time ago. I'm sad for the years we haven't had together but I'm much more grateful for the wonderful years we did share.
@@Boogledigs I'm sorry for your loss, just remember it's not a Good bye but I'll see you again... I believe when your time comes they will be their to welcome you with open arm's... 🤗
I’m always amazed when the churches on this channel are unlocked. In Texas 🇺🇸 that would be unthinkable! I can’t even get into my own parish church during business hours unless a service is going on 😢
Fascinating cemeteries tours, I love it! So relaxing to see on the iPad on my the bed, lots of blankets, out it’s raining, cold winter.. candles. Cozy night. Very relaxing mood.
Quite a lovely place, you can tell its still being kept. Compared to many other grave yards alot of headstones are falling over and unreadable but to see some as old as they were was remarkable. There's some incredible headstones that must have come from wealthy families
What an interesting church! It's amazing to see how tombstones have evolved over time, from detailed history to basic birth and death dates in most cases. You give them a voice to tell their story long after their departure. No one should ever be forgotten. Thank you for telling and sharing them with us!
This would be a photography dream come true for me if I ever get the chance to go over to Scotland...an absolutely beautiful cemetery with a 900 year old church (we just don't have things like this here in the US).
It always good to see you taking us to some places that has been not seen. Especially tombstone with old years ago on them. We are never to old to learn about life gone by. Thanks, suzie.
Those old letters that look like the letter "F" are an old way of writing the letter "S". So the name that looked like Jamefon is actually Jameson. If an "S" was in the middle of a word they used the "F" way of writing it, but an "S" at the end of a word was written the way we recognise it. Hope that makes sense!
almost correct. Its what we refer to as the long-s. however the short s also sometimes occurs in the middle of a word. Old spelling is quite complex and is very hard to grasp it. Modern day english spelling is more simpler. Indeed the normal s is usually at the end of words and the long s in the middle. But there are exceptions.
It’s amazing ,what good condition these stones are in! There are so many other cemeteries, where they have fallen over, or in total disrepair. Especially with the age, these are. Thank you so much the tour! Well done.
Beautifully kept grave yard…and those shrubs so neatly clipped. Someone is doing a good job making it looks so cared for. Thanks Dan for finding another interesting church to show us. Bonus being able to get inside too! I find that moss/lichen so frustrating when trying to read the writing, but it’s a bit of an issue if you start trying to scrape it off and risk doing damage AND upsetting folk!. The “disruptive minister” refers to a big division in 1843 when there were Ministers who broke away from The Church of Scotland to form The Free Church of Scotland. A turbulent time, leaving many ministers who didn’t agree with the old church rules etc, losing their homes, salaries etc, so he must have been one of those ministers who broke away. It’s a bigger story than that and was quite turbulent at the time, Too much to write here . But very interesting. Glad you didn’t really pull that bell chain Dan…it could have resulted in a comedy,either bell falling, or all the folks rushing to the church as the bell used to be sounded to warn of war or some big danger putting the village at risk…would love to have seen you in court defending yourself saying “Well there was this chain hanging down, and I just wanted to see what would happen if I pulled it…,so I did! Your defence counsel rises and says the prisoner is suffering from concussion,and had to have the bell removed from his head by the local fire brigade…,doctors think he will recover with some quiet rest …” Lol take care, stay safe! 🙋♀️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is a beautiful cemetery and that church is breath taking, I enjoy walking and reading name's of individuals that once walked on earth like we are, had Families, Friends, felt joy and happiness sadness and pain, we can't out beat death it's going to take us all one day, then will all rejoice in Heaven for eternity and never fear again, I've never been afraid of death, I have a deep relationship with God as we all should..thank you for such a beautiful video and walk.. hugs from Wisconsin 😊 The oldest stone I found with a birth date of 1759 I have always wondered what is the oldest date found? I've been wanting to look it up but never take the time.. might have to today . Enjoy your day Dan..
Hi, thanks for another beautiful cemetery. So peaceful. The little headstones are my favourite. Skulls, crossbones etc. You don’t see art work like that anymore. ❤
I live just outside of Atlanta, Georgia in the USA. Seeing churches unlocked like in your videos...they'd be overrun with 'homeless' people who are drug addicts and/or refuse to work and want constant handouts. They would also be sprayed with paint by taggers/bombers (vandals who call themselves artists) and it would be destroyed within just a short time.
Thank you for another great video. My ancestors are from England and Scotland, and I love these videos as I never was able to visit, and now very unwell. Your channel is a blessing!❤
I am related to Riddells mentioned twice in this video who were tenants of Turnbulls, these Riddells are likely related to the Riddells in Lilliesleaf, Roxburgshire, Scotland. Are these releated to Cowden family of Matthew Cowden branch at Cowdenbeath?
I love this Church and Graveyard. I was so surprised that so many Gravestones are impeccably clean. Here in US, People are cleaning extremely old stones (1600’s) because they want to read them. I thought your Church and Graveyard looks like someone takes care of it. I would LOVE to know, who is In Mausoleum dated 1661. Thank You Allison
Enjoyed the walkabout, we live not far away so will definitely check it out. This was a time when gravestones were artisan and creative. Loved the figures on the stones. Thanks 😎.
I did a little research on the crypt. Susanna Innes-Ker, Duchess of Roxburghe was a friend and Lady of the Bedchamber to Queen Victoria. She is interred in the family crypt.
I love seeing all the differnet looking lichen. Here in Australia we say the word with the i sounding like an i. But you know lichen is two different organisms, algae and fungus, totally different to moss. both lovely. love your videos. thank you
My pleasure Lucy. In the context of graves, a portioner would be the holder of a "portion" of large land like an estate, so they would be pretty high in society
I am amazed at the ages of these graves and the church. Nothing (here) in Australia is 900 years old. Australia is roughly 200 years old (since colonial colonisation that is). *Acknowledging the original custodians of our land have been here thousands of years* Our buildings, churches etc are not very old at all compared with the UK, Europe and other places. I would love to touch something that old.

What a beautiful place that church with the many doors 😊 I just don't get the skulls on the head stones, why would someone want to put that on a head stone? But it's so nice the way they describe the way they died on the stone, awsone place, thanks for the walk. And love the tatoos by the way 😉
Hermien dis n algemene Christelike simbool. n momento mori simbool "remember that thou shall die too" Dis ook n verwysing na die Kruisiging en Opstanding. Jesus is gekruisig op die berg Golgota, wat skedelplek beteken. En in ikonologie is daar altyd n skedel met kruisbene onder Christus se Kruis.
Another interesting video, was just wondering what a "Portioner" was.... "PORTIONER, n. 1. Sc. Law usage: the proprietor of a small estate or piece of land resulting from the division of an original piece of land among co-heirs or otherwise, a small land-owner."
absolutely not true. the hour glass is a well known Christian momento mori symbol. It reminds ppl that time is running out. There is absolutely no relation with the age of the died person. as these hour glasses also occur on graves of adult senior people.
@@claremaidofthewave251 It's nonsense tho. hour glasses also occur on graves of senior people. Its just a common CHristian momento mori symbol. no relation to the age of the deceased whatsoever.
Fascinating! Thank you. I've always been drawn to cemeteries, for the art, the anthropological info and of course for the "unknown" -death is a reality- and to me, pondering what may happen after we stop breathing- fascinating- reincarnation? Have you seen any tombstones which make a reference to a "new" life- not in the Christian sense, a new life with Christ- I suppose it depends much on where you are exploring- your accent, Liverpool? I love it by the way-
yes and no. they do not just represent death. it is a well known old Christian momento mori symbol. reminding passers by that they also will die and look like the skulls. But foremost the skull and bones is the symbol of Christs Crucifixion and his glorious Ressurection. Christ was crucified on the mount Goltotha (literaly: skull place). If you look at Christian iconography you'll see that on ALL icons of the crucifixion there is a dark cavity under the Cross where we can see the skull and cross bones.
Was i seeing things or was there someone walking into the cemetery after the two year olds tombstone? The person seemed to have vanished.... Or they could have gone into the church i suppose still very creepy . Interesting video i can't believe that church is that old!.
absolutely not. Skulls are a normal occuring Chrisian momento mori simbol and it also represents the death and resurection of Christ. remember that he was crucified on the mount Golgotha (litteraly: skull place)
The surname you read as ‘Jamifon’ is actually pronounced ‘Jay-miss-on’. In those days the letter ‘s’ was often written to look like an ‘f’. I’m guessing that this persons Christian name may have been ‘Abel’. But that is just a guess, because the space didn’t seem big enough for ‘Isabel’.
The "f" looking letter you see in that "Jamifon" name is the old-fashioned "long s." So it's really just an "s." Jamison. :-) (alternate spelling of "Jameson").

Here we go on another Dead Good Walk! 🚶🪦🚶
The letter S looks like an f in old script - it probably says Jamison (sounds suitably Scottish!) Lovely churchyard.
I think you're right. How could I forget that
Very famous part of vicar of dibley. Alice saying suker but with the old text looked like an F. Lol

At 10:42 you read the names of the "Jamifon" name. It's actually probably Old English and pronounced, "Jamison" 😊
Looks interesting
Just came across the channel and subbed.Really interesting.
Appreciate the sub. Thank you
Leave churchyard bells alone. You don't want to wake them up early!

"PORTIONER, n. 1. Sc. Law usage: the proprietor of a small estate or piece of land resulting from the division of an original piece of land among co-heirs or otherwise, a small land-owner."
If the stone has a sand timer on it It usually means the person died young
Hadn’t heard that before, thanks.

10:51. Last name “Jamison”. In times past, the letter “s” was written & looked like a large “f”.
Are those table top design ones meant for sitting on? Because I'd imagine a lot of people would use them as benches.
The dress stone is probably a young female child. Yes the moss makes acid and erodes the stone, you are insightful!
