Some great stories and I just can't help laughing at your man burying his leg in advance!! Enjoyed this today ☺

Thank you Sue, that was so interesting. The dates on the headstones really go way back in time, the Church was lovely to see too. I really loved you telling us the history of some of the people buried there, even though they were a brutal lot back in those times. Stay safe 💕🇦🇺

I believe Harvey was one of several leaders of the uprising who were hanged over a few days. They were all decapitated, their bodies thrown in the Slaney river and British soldiers kicked their heads around the streets. The British were brutal. There's a ballad, 'Kelly the boys from Killane', in which Harvey is mentioned. He is a hero. That cemetery is like a lesson in Wexford and Irish history.
I love the story of the buried leg and that somebody put flowers on the grave.

Thank you Sue for the history lesson on Bagnel Harvey RIP. Cruel times back then. The church ruin is very pretty, and some fab old headstones too. RIP Monty and your little dog together forever 🙏

Outstanding episode, especially the chapel ruins and great showing the picture of the barrister and the castle, great story. That makes these episodes really stand out even more.

I loved all the history and local tales that you've shared in this one. Thank you so much for always taking the time to read, and clean the stones so you can read, the names of people who've been forgotten with time. 👍🏼🌹💌

I absolutely love the sheep! Thanks for sharing the stories, Sue.

Thank you so much that was so very interesting (horrible about Mr. Henry though). The torch comes in handy doesn't it? Loved the church arches. The newer section was so beautiful too, loved the stone outlines around the plots. ❤❤❤

Take care and stay safe everyone!! XXXX

wow what a great find the lead coffins, I myself at a young age was in Derry in the troubles, it was 1988 i was 18, i served in the royal marines for 16 yrs. when i mentioned Ballycastle in Co Mayo where the unknown soldier was, there is /was a barracks there for british soldiers, and of course many died of illness etc, i am trying to find out where they are buried and wow its difficult. Why your videos are great, many bad things happened and over here in England our cemetarys are very much like yours. I am sorry for the man who died at british hands, crazy times, crazy ways, but rest in peace to that man, and allways a great video Sue, and its allways good to learn something also, allways keep this up, i watch so much now i can bloody tell when your nail polish is a diff colour LOL, peace out Tom xxx

Nice walk and Irish history. When convicted lie or truth no fooling around for justice😮 Ihope when they restore whats left of the church they will keep the grounds cleared. Always so enjoy your videos. You do such the best at them. Thanx❤😊❤😊

[monicahyland]

That’s beautiful, I’m binge watching your videos while I’m in the office. I’m new to the Channel and I enjoy your content. I appreciate you taking me on the journey.

What an amazing location!
Here's a serious question, have you ever heard a banshees scream? I've spoken to some of your countrymen here in the states that have claimed to have heard it.
I have found that pouring water on a headstone makes them easier to read

[joseleswopes]

That's Horrible what happened to him 🙏💕‼️

[rarespiritwendy]

What an awful way to go…Bagnel Harvey, quite a nice looking man. Love to learn the history, ty! I’ve been binge watching and loving it!
