How could someone be killed by their own headstone? Sounds impossible right? But it's true, and his headstone tells you how.

It’s the employers’ fault for “killing off” the young man 😢 May Roberts’ innocent soul, Rest In Peace

Старинные кладбища Англии это погружение в историю на многие столетия, сердце замирает, когда представляешь этих людей, часто совсем молодых, горе родных, их давно нет, но память жива, благодаря городским в властям и потомкам, ухаживающими за погребениями, не чувствуется забвения, история наяву, церковь столь величественна и прекрасна, столько видела людских судеб, тени предков там повсюду мир и покой их душам

Great walk Dan. Darfield church yard was a good place to go conkering when we were kids. By the way you're correct Wombwell is pronounced Wum well by us locals 😊

@LynnYarbrough Жыл бұрын

I really enjoyed this one…however…I was sad that you didn’t allow us to read the full inscription on the man’s stone (the one that was killed by his headstone)…It was a poem that started out,”alas…” and I feel it was pertinent to the whole journey through the courtyard…It would have been an excellent way to end the video. Anyway, I do love watching your walks! Good day❤️

The inscription reads "Alas how frail this brittle clay Though formed with matchless art Death waits in ambush for his prey And none escapes his dart A youthful Frolic promted on Whilst the grim Tyrant gave The mortal stroke by this same stone That marks my early grave"

@helencheadle5285 Жыл бұрын

I agree Lynn….have asked Dan to linger a little bit longer so we get chance to read, but think he feels we can rewind the video and pause. He does get about the Country and takes us to interesting places, but often says it’s too hard to read, which is a shame. Have suggested he keeps a torch handy or uses the torch on his mobile as we do, - shine across from the side and you can see much better, but guess time is against him, which is sad as there was so much interesting history /tragedy to read about in this one church yard. Best wishes to you. 🙋‍♀️🥰💐

@johnpatrick9552 Жыл бұрын

You can always pause the video just sayin ~

@sallybutton6237 Жыл бұрын

Just pause the video Lynn, people read at different speeds so it’s not productive to linger too long on one inscription for too long when you have a lot of ground to cover.

You are extremely lucky to be able to move around English cemeteries. For me, these are the most beautiful cemeteries ever. In our country, old graves like this were destroyed to make way for new ones, which do not have decorative writing or decorations. I really envy your walks.🖤💀

Thanks for another most interesting dead good walk Dan. I absolutely love the domestic history written on these graves such as the name of the house or area & cause of death. I often go & look them up on google maps & frequently find that some of the homes still exist, fascinating glimpse into the past. Have a good Easter Dan 💐

What a sad, tragic story of a young man who took his own life and for what? I had two siblings who both died of the same reason. They did many prescription drugs from 3 or 4 different doctors. Honestly, I tried so hard to help them, but they didn’t want to listen. My brother’s heart was so enlarged the corner said his heart exploded. My sister took her own life with pain pills. It discussed me! Sorry 😞 I went on like that,but I guess I am not over it Have a great week.👍🏻 😠
