Great tour Grave! You found so many from the 1700s! It always amazes me that you can read these after 300 years!! How wonderful to have someone acknowledge them after 300 years!!💕💐

Beautiful church ruins and graveyard. Loved seeing those old headstones from the 1700's. I have one near me from the 1700's. The church itself was burned down the British, during the Revolutionary War. The basement area was part of the "Underground Railroad" during the 1860's.

Thank you for showing us around this lovely old graveyard. I always feel sad to see abandoned churches but even the ruins are beautiful.

Typical, most men remarried after a first wife died. It's snowing here in the PNW! Great video, as usual, thanks

Another great graveyard and thanks for sharing.

It is a shame the churches are not being restore. They are absolutely beautiful and so full of history. Love your videos and also Sue's. Watching from USA.

What an amazing video. Such a beautiful church and altar. I'm crazy but when you said they remove the roof after being abandoned and I have always noticed the roofs gone in your and Sue's videos so when you said that I am so happy to learn something new😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊. Thanx SO much GV. You know I have seen stones , not many where a spouse waits 40,50,60 years after their loss to join them. I think back in the day the Irish valued their vows and their love was one time. I saw a stone here in America where a wife waited 82 years! My husband was my soulmates but we had 45 years. A fabulous video❤😊❤😊

Absolutely beautiful church and graveyard!! That tile!!!😍😍 Seems very well kept for an abandoned church!!! Thank you for sharing!!❤

Great tour. Love the real old headstones sad so many lost to time.☘️💀☠️☘️☠️☘️💀

Love these old graves

Thank you for another great video 👍🏻

Some fantastic artwork on those 17th century Graves amazing Great tour

Another lovely video the dates on them and all that history it’s so fascinating seeing the past to think all those lovely people who lived well before us ❤

Beautiful 😻 old structure of the Church ⛪️. Beautiful 😻 old cemetery. Great video friend. Rip Amen 🙏.

Omg the main part of the church, wow! The mosaic tiles are just beautiful!

Love and prayers ! Thankyou for all u and sue do🤩

Amazing place again. Omg, I’d love to bring some art stuff and do rubbings like we had to at school with brass rubbings 😅 when you think how different the world was then it’s hard to fathom. Love it, thanks GV

Love seeing the tomb stones from 200 years ago, I am binge watching xxx

Fantastic graveyard GV! Saw that name, "Lowisa ", and thought : what a unusual, pretty name! Jealous of green Ireland! We had 10 inches of snow here in British Columbia: really tired of winter. Great tour again. 😊👍🙏

Fascinating to hear of the people who lived before and the beautiful old churches that still stand after all these years in Australia we don't have any ruins from the fifteen hundreds at all so thanks for showing us really enjoyed today's walk

Beautiful old church and those amazing tiles..Love the old churches and head stones ❤

What a lovely old church and the cemetery was very pleasant with surroundings. Thank you so much for sharing.

Beautiful tiles in that church! It looked like someone had their laundry hanging outside. Lovely spot, GV.

Fabulous tour GV! Amazing church and 1700s graves. Thank you! Sorry I missed the Live. Hope you and Sue & family are ok.

Really enjoy seeing those 1700 gravestones

Thank you for such a beautiful video

Such a beautiful church! What a shame it is abandoned.

Great video GV . It's always nice to see old grave stones .

here in england, many old churches are for sale and good prices also, was looking into it myself, great video.

Amazing Graveyard!!

Lovely graveyard and great video.

How lovely thanks for sharing it with us.

Almost missed that you had posted! I am just going to bed and saw this pop up. What a fantastic place. Such an amazing church ruin , and a beautiful graveyard. I know as you were saying people should try and do these places up and restore them to there former glory that would be amazing. That floor , is stunning! Some of those tombs as well, were completely broken.

Great video my friend *****

Hello I'm back xx what a remarkable tour that church is in amazing condition after all those centuries loved the tour GV ❤

Thank you 😊

Looking forward to this!

You mentioned the graves of the gentleman and his 2 wives . Here in a local Portland Maine graveyard are the mid/late 19th century graves of a man and his 3 wives ......sisters!

What a lovely church, great to see that someone is living in the tower as well

Great video sir. The white substance on the marker was probably flour. As you saw the flour highlites the carving. It doesn’t hurt the stone and will wash away in the rain. You take a bag or canister of flour and apply it to stone with a paint type brush. Give it a try, it will work well. Georgia USA. Keep up the good work.

The beautiful old tiles in the church look like a quilt pattern.

Another great tour. I often wonder why they take the Roof's off these beautiful old churches. Thank you.

I could see it being a great community project to restore an old church like that back to like it would have been. If only as an example of its kind and period.

Wow that's interesting! Keep up the great work you're doing. Our great great grandma was from waxford. Her name was Jennings.

Great video. Thanks. I believe that the roof is often removed for tax reasons. The building then becomes a ruin, not a habitable building. Also, practically, the roof of a disused building can become a hazard if not maintained. Many country houses had their roofs removed when the owners couldn’t afford the upkeep, and to avoid death duties. It’s a shame, but I suppose that practicality usually wins out against sentiment. Best wishes.

Great content

This was so interesting, and I really enjoyed the tour ❤️😊👻

Always read the graves.. So their spirits are never forgotten.

When graveyards are on a hill or incline, you will find a lot of headstones leaning forwards. This is caused by a process called creeping earth, and can be better seen by a build up earth, behind table tombs or similar. In some cases, depending on the quality of the earth, the interred have been found 5/6ft further down the incline. When headstones are leaning side to side, it is normally caused by subsidence.

HELLOOOOO CATHAL TOP O THE MORNINNN TO YA FINE SIR , THAT WAS A GREAT CHURCH RUINS ESPECIALLY THE TILED FLOOR STILL THERE, WITH A OLD GRAVEYARD 👌 HOPE YOU AND SUE ARE WELL MY FRIEND, TAKE CARE BROTHER 🙂

Just saw this in time May they all R.I.P safe travels mate from ballarat in Oz,👋👋🙏🙏👍🇦🇺

Hello GV ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍 have a nice day

Very nice church Cathal. Can you tell me why they always remove the roofs from these historic houses of worship? I noticed that long ago when I visited Ireland. I love all the headstones you found! And I didn't know Cathy Cousins was from Northern Ireland!

Opening scene looks like you have on a hairy hat 😂. It’s the tree behind you. Great walk

Sorry I missed the chat. So I'm watching it right now.

Interesting discovery seems well organised graves in that era with use of costly marbles and stones , carvings and fonts are admirable definitely hand made.

Very interesting indeed thanks for filming this , imagine 17 hundred omg this is the oldest I’ve ever seen in Ireland

Oh yes I also watch looking for ancestors, as I have Irish heritage. Always looking for reed

Great walking tour GV, thank you very much. The church ruins and graveyard were very fascinating! Did I understand you correctly, did you say when a church is abandoned, the roof is removed? Is that for safety reasons? Thank you again, take care.

That priest's fireplace looks like it was added as an afterthought.

I hate that they take the roofs off. I heard it's because of taxes, is that true.

It would be banging to live in it

Do the churches become abandoned because the local population dwindles so badly? Beautiful video, as always!

Without those holes or some other form of drainage like perforated underground pipes the retaining wall will be pushed over by the weight of the water in heavy rains.

seems to me that the rich or well off people in the 17 and 18 00,s lived longer than the poor and were able to aford the nicer head stones. were are all the poor folks graves...

1777 grave!!! Even Australia wasn’t discovered at that time!!!

There was even two steps on the wall where people would get on their horses

Such a pretty church. I guess they out grew it. Love all the old stones. Good idea for the drains. Wouldn't want coffins floating out of the ground.❤️

A father and son died less than two weeks apart in 1820 sooosadx

Ahhh more abandoned places its not right is it grave 😔

Why do they take the windows out and the roof off?
