It's such a shame that many old cemeteries such as this one are allowed to go to rack and ruin!!

Thanks for yet another EXCELLENT video, Sue!! XXXX

[WhispersFromTheDark]

Your cemeteries and those headstones are just mesmerizing. Once I start one of your videos I am drawn to the screen. Such beauty, and such sorrow. I keep feeling like I will see one of my ancestors graves.

Very interesting place. Not too big but alot of history. Thank you for the tour!

[evilladollyz]

A small graveyard with some big history. Beautiful stones and epitaphs.

[beverleymangan]

The headstones had some beautiful words on. It's interesting to put faces to some of them. The fenced off area will need a lot of work to restore it and make it safe. Take care

Hi Sue! Thanks for another video! I've never seen a 'no entry' sign in a cemetery before. I lost count of how many interments there were in the Middleton grave. In Greek mythology Boreas was the god of (or personification of) the north wind. 🇦🇺 🇮🇪

Hiya Serenity Sue, The grave that has the 7 children intered must hold about 10 people all told . That's some size of a grave by anyone's standards 😯. Great video lovely cemetery, thank you so much x

Stunning! What a delightful way to start my day. Thanks so very much, Sue. Enjoying this with my morning coffee. Wonderful work. Be well and be blessed.

That was a massive crypt. Would love to peek inside! Lol. Being a mariner has always been a treacherous career, especially long ago. Beautiful video, Sue.😊👍

Thank you Sue for another wonderful walk. Interesting and a bit of a mystery, with the large Crypt. You had to have been itching to get a look inside. The story of William Griffiths, was a sad tale of sea life.

[elizabethgrogan]

Such an interesting cemetery. It's obvious that those buried there came from great wealth. I hope the descendants of those, who are laid to rest in that massive crypt, will fund it's restoration. These hidden cemeteries are fascinating. They are an important chapter in Irish history, which tells it's own story. I'm simply obsessed with your channel. I no longer feel weird about speaking of my love for cemeteries.

This cemetery is so we’ll kept! Can you imagine the cost to fix that big crypt today!! Thanks for taking us on this great find! So interesting 🤔

[rememberingthem]

I love how old these stones are and the engraving is still, for the most part, readable. There are not many stones here in the states that are even close to those ages, let alone still readable. Thank you for saying their names and telling us about them.

[nanad]

Loved the headstone of William Griffith, I do hope they recovered the remains of the other men. It would be wonderful if they could restore the large crypt someday. Thank you for the walk through this beautiful cemetery. Take care and God Bless ❤

[lizstevenson]

That was so interesting to see thank you Sue, the history is very sad but fascinating. It did look very dangerous that part fenced off, so tempting to peek though. So many young buried there. If my memory of Irish history is right, 1830's - 1850's was the potato famine, followed by a deadly Cholera epidemic in or around 1860's. This would explain some of the many death's of the time, it would have been a very hard life for everyone. Thank you Sue, lived seeing this, take care 💕🇦🇺

Greetings from Voorhees NJ USA. I love your videos and from Ireland is so breathtaking. My dad was from Co Louth and it was part of my growing up to visit cemeteries and pay respects and pray over them. Thank you for your channel and many blessings

[DorisVoerster]

Wow, Sue!! What beautiful epithets and memorials. You can feel the love all around. Thank you so much! 💜

[beckysteffka]

Hi Sue, lovely cemetery with so many tombs, I'd love to peek inside that huge one! Too bad it's in such bad shape, I can't imagine the cost of repair for something that size. Great video, thank you!
