Показать описание
Join us today as we explore an old graveyard and discover some interesting hidden graves.
Not much on Ballymore old Graveyard, also know as Grahormick Graveyard.

Graves dating back to the 1700s. Old Church ruins which is completely overgrown.
Lichen covered headstones make it very hard to read the inscriptions.

Joseph Whitty
Michael Joseph Whitty (1904 – 2 August 1923) was the youngest (19 years of age) of the 22 Irish republicans who died while on hunger strike in the 20th century.
He fought with the IRA in the Irish War of Independence, on the Anti-Treaty side in the Irish Civil War and died while interned by the Irish Free State government.

Beautiful resting place sue, I can imagine this place 100 of years ago being visited by friends and family And know forgotten, due to the fact of no one knowing where there ancestors were buried. Beautiful x

It's also weird several famous people sometimes have overgrown graves, like in some YouTube videos in UK and USA, nobody even remembers they were there...

G'morning Sue & GV. I got chills when you started playing the Foggy Dew at the end of the video. I love that song. All those brambles are a shame & I am glad you didn't break an ankle. I must still be on Ireland time over here, I get up at this time everyday lol. Hope the weather lets up & things get a bit better.xx

What an amazing cemetery. Thank you for getting in amongst the brambles to show us the hidden graves, and the architecture of the old church! What I wouldn't give to see someone clear out the brambles in that entire place. Imagine the beautiful stones you'd uncover, and the graves you'd discover. And to see what remains of the church. The vine overgrowth becoming part of that arch and keeping it help up was incredible. Love your channel! ❤

I so want to clean up that place! I just live so damn far away! Lol. That so many young people died from starvation is so sad. It proves that freedom comes at a huge cost. Thanks for pushing through all that vegetation for us. 😊👍

Approximately time stam 28:44, you were pointing and the leaves only were moving. Nothing else was moving. How cool. Love seeing your country. Thanks.

Amazing old cemetery 👍 such a shame it’s neglected ! Ivy will destroy that arch eventually as the secondary ‘fruiting growth’ expands the stems and will force the stones apart.

Loved that song at the end. So many 1700;s and a couple of remembered and well kept graves.

Wow. The Foggy Dew. What a beautiful young man and he laid down his life for the cause. I remember in 1981 when my Dad and I stayed in Dublin - all the hunger-strikers who were dying at that time. I dreaded going on to Belfast where my Dad's family was. Being Catholic, my Dad's family Protestant, my cousins being part of the Royal Ulster Constabulary. I had no idea what I was in for.
