I had a friend who lived next door to a graveyard. I asked her if she wasn't afraid to live there and she said no, the dead are lovely quiet neighbours - and the burglars are too afraid of the spirits to burgle her house!
I grew up a 30 second walk from a cemetery and later moved to a different location overlooking a different one. We always joked about "quiet neighbours" and there was never any trouble, either with the supernatural, or any kind of antisocial behaviour. Both cemeteries were very old but still in active use.
This is an anglo-saxon building (meaning it was erected sometime around the 8th century A.D., that's the 700's), but it was built on the foundations of a Roman bath house, and the stones and bricks of the Roman building were used to build it, which puts the foundations and materials of this place even further back in time from around the 1st to the 4th century. A.D. I am always in awe of how the British take such a huge pride in the conservation of their buildings and monuments. This church is over 1200 years old!
Thanks for sharing. In 1988, Me and some friends sat on and around a bench in a local churchyard talking from about 10pm then they left after midnight and me and this girl I knew continued talking till 8am. This was during winter and a tad below freezing. There was frost all around us including the bench we were sat on. Watching the town go to bed and get up was a strange experiance.
The wall monument to the Hon. Richard Newport (1685-1716) is located directly above the Bromleys. Sir Thomas & Lady Isabel (Mabel) were Richard Newport’s great great grandparents.
Beautiful Church, but soooky someone tried to open door or something did 👻 😉 cute pup& hedgehog ❤ I would love to stay there ❤ last full moon I enjoyed feeding a couple of foxies at a beautiful graveyard & heard a beautiful owl too, very magical peaceful ✌️ ❤
Hi there, when I saw this video for the first time yesterday, I was deeply impressed. This graveyard still has plenty of space for funerals, but it seems to be abandoned. That means, all the people who are buried here, do really rest in peace, some since many centuries. I love visiting graveyards and cemeteries, it's so quiet there, mostly you can only hear the birds singing. I subscribed only yesterday, but I will watch all of your videos as soon as possible. Thank you for taking us there.
Great video. Did you know that the church is largely built from stones from the Roman City of Virconium, less than a mile away? It was the third largest city in Roman Britain. Check out the exterior walls, and you can see the varied colored blocks from the ancient city. Cheers!
Yes it's actually within the southern portion of the walled city (visible on satellite maps) Also those are original Roman column's alongside the church gate
The Newports intermarried with the Bromleys. They were the wealthiest and most powerful families in Shropshire. As Shropshire had no aristocracy, the wealthy landed gentry controlled local affairs. The Newports were the wealthiest of Shropshire’s landed gentry, owning vast estates all over England. They also intermarried with the powerful Hill and Rowland families, amassing tremendous wealth and political power.
I watch from the US. Your videos are great since I’m in a “new” country. One of the best things you do is include dates. Amazed by how far they go back plus the design of the headstones & mausoleums.
Some of headstones that you can't quite read if you take your torch or flashlight and hold to the side of the lettering it can make it possible to read.
That was fascinating. Thank you for the tour! It appears everyone behaved themselves as you had hoped. I was a bit terrified for you. That wedding was loud enough to wake the dead so, I'm surprised you didn't have a visitor or two. It makes me wonder who or what tried to open the church door. Looking forward to your next adventure. Stay safe.
Myself and a few friends often go champing the churches are very well equipt for your stay. We have heard unexplained voices and we really enjoy the graveyards especially around 2am very spooky. 😂 loved your video your welcome to join us anytime.
Sir, I love your videos i have gone through some of England's bone yards But also as well New England has some excellent yards and burials like this one over here in the states I really support your channel and I'm amazed thank you for taking the time to show us your tours they are amazing . Thank you for doing these videos your excellent sir.
hi we live in a converted Chape surrounded by a huge graveyard...l it's the living you have to fear.. in this video when you filmed the tower door watch the keyhole!!!! it looks like something moved behind the keyhole...... 😂
Very awesome tour thank you for taking us along with you. Can I ask why are we sleeping in this Cemetery tonight? You are much braver than I am my friend. Can't wait for the update on your nightly Adventure. Enjoy and stay safe
Dan I enjoyed the walk through the church and and the grounds. You're cute Church Pekingese dog was a good friend to have at night. Anyway thanks for the tour.
You learn something new every day on youtube Champing This is honestly the first time in my 58 years I've heard that term or what it entails. Were there toilets in there as well? 🤔
there is a church owned by the churches conservation trust in leeds called st john the evengelist lovely inside out its on new briggate usally open saturdays fridays but im not sure if they are or only open last saturday of the month voulentters are friendly the organ there is 2nd hand but intrestingly on its own little perch balcony witch i kinda had the idea to try mimmic on a craft game
I give you credit, sir-I could never bring myself to spend an entire night alone so close to a graveyard! Also, as a writer, I can tell you that you are NOT pronouncing “lichen” incorrectly. Your pronunciation is the standard British pronunciation, where as we Americans pronounce it “LIKE-en,” which is now also becoming acceptable on your side of the pond. Thanks for another great video!
The true magnificent tranquility suroundings shoud mesmerizing the people living in those place those time..quite loveable Reflection old English.short fantastic video you have mad w death G.walk
This was so cool seeing your "chill" version of "Champing"( which to me seemed both interesting and relaxing as you took the time to explore the Church & cemetary. I say this because (in this same church), a few months back, YT channel Sam & Colby brought some friends to that Church for an overnight Paranormal investigation. Their version was the opposite of "chill" which included a lot of screaming, scary music and running around (lol).👻
That's a great deal, being able to sleep in one of these old churches. And it's a good way for them to raise money for upkeep. Was there a concert nearby? The music, mostly the bass was heard throughout. Nice dog!
100 quid a night ...to stay in a church over night .....okay!!!! In other words the churches are inneed of money 🤑 how to raise funds for maintenance ..i guess. I think it could be rather good fun. But chilly at night. I stayed overnight in a converted dungeon/ castle one time ..very creepy with original features. That could be a very romantic night for a couple - sleeping together in a church ....wow.. or the night of your wedding in a church 🤩 ❤
What a beautiful church. When you flipped the lights on it looked like just a regular church. But it’s also obvious it’s a very old structure if you get my meaning, like a hybridization. It’s kind of unsettling though at the same time, it’s so quiet lol
My grandmother always said to me that it is only the living that hurt us I would like to live in a converted church with a small Victorian grave yard for a garden 💜
No, it wasn't someone trying to get into the church, while you were in there, someone posted a "Champing in Progress" sign on the door. It wasn't there when you first entered, but it was there after your night walk. It would have been great to see some footage of camping in the church overnight. What do you think is the attraction to the idea of 'champing'? Can you also camp in a mausoleum or crypts overnight?
"Litchen" is the UK pronunciation. "Lie-kin" is the American. When and why they split, no idea. But I think this follows a fairly common thread in the pronunciation differences between the two "dialects" of English particularly when it relates to words received from other languages; "lichen" is based on a Greek word or words, and as such "ch" out to be pronounced more like a "k" as it is in Greek. For some reason, American English tends to follow the pronunciation from the original language more often than British English does, which tends instead to follow its own rules (such as "ch" almost always being pronounced as 'tcha" regardless of origin).
Very cool tour and readings. It’s a beautiful church. Now May I call my therapist for you ? I think you might need to talk to him 🤣 . So happy u survived sausage. Great job 👏🏼
I don’t really care about sleeping on a camp bed, when I won’t be sleeping on it … 😂 I never knew this was a thing. I am intrigued by it I have to admit.
New subscriber and I’m loving your content! You have a very soothing voice which compliments your videos immensely Many thanks for chilling me out after a gruelling day 😌
New to your channel. May I ask the tombs of the people in body shapes , are they buried under the floor of the tomb? You showed the open crack between them that it was empty. So is it like the Queen there is a vault underneath? Do they still hold service here? Love the old churches. Thank you for your tours. You have a nice voice. Will tell you it’s the live one’s you have to be scared of, not the dead one’s!
For us, we are a very small country, land are limited but we still can choose to cremate or bury but for bury, bodies must be exhumed after 15 years. So I told my son to cremate me and throw my ashes to the Garden of Peace after I die. And for bury, we need to pay to the tomb caretaker some money every year to take care of the tomb when we went for our tomb sweeping day or QingMing Festival. I love to visit cemetery too, Bukit Brown cemetery is very interesting too but some part are going away for our Public Housing. :(
LICHEN=LIKEN , I had to look it up lol, thanks for all the great content, my fav being the bat wing vampire tomb. I go to that one alot just to marvel at it.
Sir I need to ask why people barried in walls which called mousliam ? What is that and how old is that tradition to barried in coffins in the walls , there is no dead bodies bed smell in mousliams And why ?
Hi, It's just an alternative to being put in the ground, although in some mausoleums you are still in the ground but in a little crypt, and like you say some people choose to stay above ground. The coffins are usually lead lined meaning it's air tight so no smells can escape. Lead lining also good for slower decomposition of the body. Hope this helps
I enjoyed the walk. My grandmother that was born in 1891 always said, you don't have to be afraid of the dead, only the living.
That's exactly right, the dead will never hurt you, the living will
Mine said its not the dead that'll harm you it's the living...more less se thing 😉
I thought the casket of the husband and wife was terrifying, I thought at any moment the statues were gonna spring up to life
My Grama used to say that 😜🇬🇧
Descendant not ancestor.
I’d love to stay there!!! I wouldn’t be scared, people who are alive are scarier to me!
I had a friend who lived next door to a graveyard. I asked her if she wasn't afraid to live there and she said no, the dead are lovely quiet neighbours - and the burglars are too afraid of the spirits to burgle her house!

Both cemeteries were very old but still in active use.
And besides, god is watching over the dead as his fallen children, you shouldn’t be afraid of churches, as god is always with you

I love your tours.. I lived in England for 6 years many years ago and I used to do this on my off time.. thanks for taking me back to very good times.

The appearance of space may be illusory. Many people could not afford grave markers and many markers disappear over the years.
You kept saying "we" and I didn't know why until I saw your pup! So cute!
He was so confused why we didn't go home that night ha

Great Job and of course we love the sweet dog 🐕 as well.
O lume absolut tacuta ....., o lume care inca vorbeste ... o lume paralela ... 💎
The good bit would have been what happened overnight in the church

Too kind Cathy, thank you for supporting the channel. Really appreciate your help in the live chats x
@@deadgoodwalks And I appreciate where you take us in your videos. Thank you, my friend.
Beautiful Church! Loved this one.
31:32 Pause it and look at the gravestone. You can see the ghost of a man with a white beard standing with hands across his chest in prayer 🙏🏼
That was fascinating. Thank you for the tour! It appears everyone behaved themselves as you had hoped. I was a bit terrified for you.

I hope your night went easy! You are braver than I could ever be!
Wow, staying in a church for the night. Love it.
Thanks
Thanks for your continued support Ian
Fantastic!!! Thank you for sharing. What a crazy experience...
Myself and a few friends often go champing the churches are very well equipt for your stay. We have heard unexplained voices and we really enjoy the graveyards especially around 2am very spooky. 😂 loved your video your welcome to join us anytime.
Great to be able to see the date on a lot of the older headstones. I don’t believe I’d be outside in the dark. Thanks for sharing
It's so exciting to visit ancient places and it's one my greatest wishes

Thank you Dineo. Love to Botswana!!
Hi, spooky but beautiful cemetery, and you sir are very brave walking around in a cemetery at night.
Scary but awesome 👌😱👍
One could hardly read most of those inscriptions on the tombstones,may they all rest in peace.
Yes i could
Amazing never heard of this before now I need to go champing
Dan I enjoyed the walk through the church and and the grounds. You're cute Church Pekingese dog was a good friend to have at night. Anyway thanks for the tour.

Champing
This is honestly the first time in my 58 years I've heard that term or what it entails.
Were there toilets in there as well? 🤔

Never again lol

I had to google (youtube) them....Not to my taste but good luck to the young lads
That's a great deal, being able to sleep in one of these old churches. And it's a good way for them to raise money for upkeep. Was there a concert nearby? The music, mostly the bass was heard throughout. Nice dog!
Another great video, thank you.
If the church is still consecrated it should be the safest place you could sleep, if not that's another story
What an awesome experience. I would love to do something like that.
Looking forward to this👍💯
Great video. Looks like all the spirits were tucked in
Thank God
Neat place! Thanks for sharing this location🪦
thanks for the tour, luv going to cemeteries 😊
Thanks for coming to the live Violet
@@deadgoodwalks wouldn't have missed it! thanks again 😎
Both versions of lichen are used in the uk :) so whether you pronounce it Litch en or like en it's totally you're preference :)
100 quid a night ...to stay in a church over night .....okay!!!! In other words the churches are inneed of money 🤑 how to raise funds for maintenance ..i guess.

What would be the problem with spending a night here? Would probably be quite peaceful.
Keep up the good work matey
Love this channel.
Thank you for watch the cemetery. They buried many centuries ago
Oddly serene 🥰
Very cool tour and readings. It’s a beautiful church. Now May I call my therapist for you ? I think you might need to talk to him 🤣 . So happy u survived sausage. Great job 👏🏼
Yes asap please Linda lol
Wow your braver than me! Out of interest how did you sleep? I don’t think I would of got much sleep at all. But fantastic video x
I don’t really care about sleeping on a camp bed, when I won’t be sleeping on it … 😂
I never knew this was a thing. I am intrigued by it I have to admit.
haha, yes go for it if you want the worse sleep of your life lol. I didn't sleep for more than 30mins at a time all night
Fair play to you, no way could I do that, thoroughly enjoy your channel 😬
Good luck
Your brave going outside in the dark
I love the dark :)
My mom use to tell us the dead can’t hurt you only the living.

i like to stay in the church not so spooky like in the cemetery
Apoyando compartido 👍
Good stuff, guy! Liken, lichen who cares, you do you! We know what you're trying to say. That's a very large churchyard.
You're right Mike! I'll say whatever which way I like lol
I like your video
I would love to stay in a church over night and a graveyard/Cemetery
why not sleep there? Dead people do not harm you, it is the living you should fear
I've been binge watching your videos... Lol... The idea of this video creeps me out... 💜💜💀💜💜
