It is sad to see how forgotten they all are yet there is something utterly beautiful about it too.

Forgotten graves evoke a sense of loss, a silent narrative of lives once lived. They speak to the passage of time and the transient nature of memory. In each unmarked plot lies a story untold, a history fading away with the weathering of tombstones.

I could’ve spent many hours in that cemetery and then would want to go back the next day. That was quite amazing! Thanks so much. 🎈

I think all cemeteries should have an "adopt a grave" program - I would love to see them restored and maintained!

Reminds me of my History teacher's old joke: There once was a man named Odd.... Long story short everyone makes fun of Odd for doing odd stuff, etc., etc., and he didn't want his name on his tombstone, but only his birth year and death year. ....but Odd's final wish was never granted to him because a young couple was walking through the cemetery, and looking down noticed the 'name-less' headstone and said, 'Isn't that....' (And it was!)

That cemetery looks like something out of a scary movie. It's beautiful but overgrown.

It's sad but also beautiful to see all those graves taken back by time.

I still find it beautiful and peaceful.. thanks for sharing this with us!

The tree trunk wrapping around the tombstone around 11:33 is so Dark Souls

Thanks for that amazing view of Nunhead, Chris! My great-grandfather was buried there in 1927 - he came from Lowell, Massachusetts, worked as a merchant seaman, married an English woman and died, for some reason, in London. My family wouldn't have come to the UK without him. His grave is in one of the 'inaccessible' areas, but I'm hoping to find it next time I visit London.

It’s so sad the condition of some of these graves. At the time they were most likely visited regularly and maintained. As the generations went on, they are now long forgotten.

its sad to know that its also private owned.... the owners are no longer alive and cant keep this beautiful cemetery maintained! rest in eternal rest to those buried there.

Peaceful yet haunting all at the same time...thank you for sharing...🕊️🙏❤️🕯️

My uncle had been renting out over 12 acres of land to a man with some cows for well over 15 years. When he died the land was sold and the new owner wanted a few trees cut and the stumps removed so he could plant for winter hay. Upon removing stumps...the men kept hitting chunks of slabs and there was writing on them. Work was stopped...a crew was brought in by the state...Bingo...a very old cemetery from the early 1800's. Today that part is fenced off with about 30 graves with their stones. My thought is...I bet there are more out there that did not have stones...just big rocks etc. ....but they left it at that.

It truly looks like a movie set🙏🏻 I absolutely love it Chris! I believe they’re all comforting each other as nature slowly engulfs them all🙏🏻 Thank you Chris! 🌟💙🌟

I kept imaging how pristine and manicured this cemetery was during Victorian England. No matter how we fight it...we really are ashes to ashes & dust to dust. Side Note: I still don't understand the tubular crypts. Interesting and beautiful.

When bought land to build our dairy farm it used to be an old county home for poor people and found an old neglected cemetery and contacted the local Boy Scouts and they came and helped us to cleaned it up and yes we kept it up for 35 years and when we sold the farm we made sure the new owners kept it up which they have and hopefully whoever buys the property next will do the same. The oldest stone was dated 1845.

thank you for another video, these lost souls must not be forgotten.

I find cemeteries fascinating also. I wish you read more tomb stones. What a great setting for a scary movie! The raven cawing made a cool back drop sound!

What a bizarre sight, thank you for bringing it to us. You're not a weirdo btw, alot of people love old cemeteries.

This is so beautiful in its own way, complete with the sounds of ravens and crunchy dead vines, trees and leaves.

Your not a weirdo my good man..you got the backbone/courage.. 2 do what you want in life.. with respect..... your giving life and respect 2 those who are no longer hear... notice no one else is showing all those souls any respect.... just imagine how many of those Graves where true good people who loved and tried 2 do good things for the world... and now their lost in time....until you... if those souls could talk they would probably thank you for the visit... Side not I've watched a bunch of your videos... you have really good content no matter what it is.....in my opinion... thank you...

Most cemetarys are like this in England , you have to remember they are pretty old , no one left to tend the graves unless your a very distant relative , it was more common back in the victorian era to frequent graves not so much now .

Enjoyed your tranquility throughout the video. Forgotten People. Sad. I walked through 2 old small cemetery's in my life. Bethpage, N.Y. Once when I was 14. That night l was dozing off & heard a cackle. I looked from my bed and there stood at what looked like a Witch/Old Lady. Colors of Purple and Black with a Shroud over her walking towards me . I bolted out of bed!! Never saw it again. Later in life at 62 my wife and I moved Upstate N. Y. to Catskill. Ventured into a well maintained small family cemetery. Didn't say No Trespassing. With utmost respect we looked at the graves. Dating back from 1700's to early 2000's. Next morning my wife says look at your arm! I still have the picture. I was bitten on my right arm overnight! Just the Upper Part of the Teeth pieced my skin. Terrible to any dental work. Teeth were spread. So no more Cemetery visits for this guy at 67!! Till l die. Going in a Draw with first wife of 31 year's together. Mid Hudson Valley is very haunted. Our house was put on our 6 acre land. Previous owner's from 1700's had 2 house's on property previously. I captured a Full Apparition on my iPad of a man dressed in Early 1800's Garb in my bathroom. Tried to Crop it. Lost picture! Crap! We had Spirts in our house. Things missing. Moved, etc Sounds. Lasted 10 years. Back to Long Island!! Hopefully nothing attaches to you. 🙏🏼 Be SAFE!! And check for Ticks! I just found out recently, April 3,2023 from one of my brothers, that both of them were toking away in that same Cemetery with friends after midnight & this screeching woman appeared out of nowhere saying this is a place of respect for the DEAD! Then vanished!! They all ran away in total fear.

A lot of these graves are nearly 200 years old and unfortunately most of us will be forgotten too after a similar period of time

I live on the outskirts of a old town. I was digging for my garden plot a few years ago, i found while digging old bottles up and some medicine, beer and some beautiful jars, i kept digging until i hit what was hard like cement, i got a big piece out and it had a design around it, in curiosity i kept digging more pieces up, then i found a sole to an old shoe and a piece of what looked like pants, it was tattered, but it definitely was clothing, i think it might have been someones resting place, so i put it all back and covered it up, it was down about 4 feet or 5... crazy, i still live here and it is right in front of my driveway when i pull in...

As a three to five yr old I played in the cemetery at the bottom of our garden in Durham City. Find cemeteries so interesting all my life. Love your vids.

Nunhead was one of the ‘Magnificent Seven’ cemeteries, the first landscaped cemeteries around London in 1832 for about 10 years, but now incorporated into London with its growth.

Graveyards are beautiful to me. There is such artistry in the stones. Obelisks were used quite frequently in the Victorian era.

So many stories buried to be forgotten and never told. Thanks for taking us to this place 🪦. Also, I think maybe those rounded concrete coverings are to stop grave robbers maybe.

G'day Chris from Melbourne, Australia I'm glad for 'weirdos' like you, as I doubt I'll ever get to England to visit these absolutely amazing places. Thank you so very much Chris for this wonderful video.

This is a hauntingly beautiful cemetery

Such a shame the Cemetery is neglected but it's still beautiful and also has its creepiness to it .💀👻😳

Excellent tour. Thank you for taking us with you into the woods. Beautiful and ethereal, yet sort of sad.

What an absolutely amazing place. Thank you for this fascinating visit. I must go and see this for myself.

It's both amazing and sad. Amazing because of the history and story behind everyone buried there and sad because they where forgotten..

Check out the website find a grave, lots of info on the people and the cemeteries. The page for this cemetery says there are 4,000+ people buried there. 275 photo requests. Oldest death date is 1798. Thanks for sharing!

Wish I had visited here, thank you for the video, there's something very beautiful about cemeteries that have become over grown

In the winter when all the vegetation and leaves are gone you can see more clearly everything.

On the one hand, it is mysterious and beautiful how it is overgrown. On the other hand, it is horrible how trees and vines have taken over and cracked open some graves and toppled others over and hidden some.

Nunhead Cemetery, Linden Grove,London, SE153LP Perhaps the least known, but most attractive, of the great Victorian Cemeteries of London. Consecrated in 1840, it is one of the seven great Victorian cemeteries established in a ring around the outskirts of London. It contains examples of the magnificent monuments erected in memory of the most eminent citizens of the day, which contrast sharply with the small, simple headstones marking common, or public, burials. It’s formal avenue of towering limes and the Gothic gloom of the original Victorian planting gives way to paths which recall the country lanes of a bygone era.

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust". Unfortunately a part of life & death. I, too, find it fascinating to see old cemeteries like this. I like to read, if I can, the names of the deceased out loud to honor them one more time. 🙏🕊️ The chapel was beautiful. 😍 They don't make them like that anymore. 👍❤️

I absolutely agree with you that these stones are just fascinating. It’s sad that all their loved ones and the keeper of the cemetery have all passed on. But likely, we will all be there one of these days

My friend and I used to walk through cemeteries and also found them fascinating. One grave had the dead man's name and also listed the name of the man who murdered him. My friend never left one without saying a protection prayer instructing any spirit not to follow or attach to us. She asked that God keep us safe inside the white light. Just keeping on the safe side I guess.👍🙏

Wonderful cemetery. And I agree....fascinating. So thankful you shared your trip

Fascinating and beautiful so much history I could get lost in there for a very long time. May they all rest in peace.

I wonder if there's any pictures or postcards of the cemetery before it got to this state? It would be interesting to see how nice it was back in the day

Great video. It's one of your best. I love cemeteries. It gives you pause to think that every stone represents someone's son, daughter, spouse, or parent. Memento mori.

That was a beautiful cemetery and your right, everyone gets forgotten.

There's so much beauty here! You are right. It is overwhelming.

Wow! What a beautiful cemetery forgotten in the woods

Christopher Instinct ladies and gentlemen 👏

Just found your channel and I love it! I have always enjoyed walking around cemeteries. Each tombstone has a story! They say that after a time, when you have passed away, you are forgotten, but the last time someone says your name is the day you are forgotten entirely. But I believe that through records and cemeteries, the long dead can be remembered again!

A loss for words on our end too. Thank you for sharing your experience and commentary. Yes you said “ fascinating “ and I agree.

That place looks like a movie set. Wow. It's beautiful.

Can you imagine what a midnight walk thru that cemetery would be like?? Its a creepy old burial ground but its fascinating, too. Thanks for taking us along on your adventure, Chris! Dont linger too long by any one grave...💀

I think cemeteries are some of the most beautiful places on Earth. This one is awesome I love it. I wish I could go there and see it.

These are not just markers....there are people buried here...people that lived,and loved....let them not be forgotten.

There are actual old cemeteries that do have graves randomly placed. Eventually, they became more organized as you see today.

I think it’s beautiful just like it is! Very old and very historical! ❤️😎🤩

Ok this is awesome. What a place. Wish I could walk it too. My little kids would probably love to join too!!

Oh wow😳 thats amazing. I'm so jealous. My soul would be so at rest there😊 I love it. The headstone with the tree growing around it was just beautiful.

It’s so sad to see cemeteries get forgotten about like this 😢

Thanks again Chris for sharing your travels. Take care and be safe!✌

Looks like a movie set...that is sad but hauntingly beautiful.

Hi Chris, I would say that one area is kept up while other is lost in the undergrowth is because the newer area brings in money while the older graves don't. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤

I love this chap thanks for coming to England

So very sad. Wish someone would clean it up!!! I love old cemeteries. RIP to all

Hey Fred,I noticed no one has done a graveyard video on George Montgomery, he was a western actor back in the 40s. Hes in highland cemetery in Great falls Montana, he has a nice bronze of him in cowboy garb...

So Beautiful when Nature Reclaims these Cemeteries. but.... Monsanto/Round-Up needs to sponsor a mass clean up !

Heyyy youuu guyyyysss...thanks for the vid Chrissie.

So incredibly beautiful. 💗🌿

That is so sad it's such a lonely sad place

Awesome share!!!

i too am facinated with really old graves. even as a child i liked to see which is the oldest one i could find. i have NEVER heard of this cemetery, thank you Chris for showing us this place. it is sad how they are virtually on top of one another, and some right on the track you need to walk on, but like you said... in a few years no one will even know the graves are there. so sad

Gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful.

All I can say is wow!

I just love the beautiful ivy and your videos Chris,greetings from Maine!

I find myself talking to you as you trek through your explores and adventures

bucket list cemetery for me now. thanks for sharing 👍

That was beautiful. Especially that chapel. It would be cool to have a Halloween walk there an have people come in an make more paths an clean the old ones better. Love the way the ivy looks. I found a cemetery on a island in Kentucky lake. It was kinda like that. Not as fancy as yours. Thanks

Very interesting, amazing how nature eventually takes back everything. It's doesn't matter if your a Prince or a street sweeper eventually everyone dances with the grim reaper.

Yes really interesting and thanks for sharing.

All I can say is thank God for weirdos like you, Chris! Otherwise, we'd not know about some of these fascinating places - both here and around the world! Thanks for another great video!

Sad... yet creepy..

So much to see in the UK Chris.....you need to move here for a year or two💪👍🇬🇧

Thanks so much these are awesome thanks for sharing

I have never tried it but was once told if you spread corn meal on the headstone it will help bring out the writing so you can read it better.

Miss alot of your in the UK! Because I didn't have your 2nd channel ! Caught up now ! Love to go back in the UK! It is seem strange they don't keep up old cemetery !

"Show me your cemetery and I'll tell you the character of your community..."

Thanks, this is a well-made video of a fairytale place

Enjoyed the explore

I would love to see a gardening company volunteer to get stuck in and clear the lot, that would make a great video

I'm sure I'll eventually be forgotten. I'm definitely not gonna be taking up space like that though. Turn my ass back to dust and set me on a shelf somewhere. It's WAY cheaper, and my family can visit me anytime they want.

Great video.

Wow! What a cool cemetery!

Incredible!

Its sad.. But beautiful too....

Very nice I love these old headstones hidden away. You should come here to Ireland Chris loads of interesting places also.

I did a guided tour of Nunhead cematary, it is beautifal , nature has taken over a lot of it , but that what makes it unique.
