- Today's Famous Grave I go to visit The lady of the Lamp and Nurse Florence Nightingale.
Florence Nightingale 12 May 1820 - 13 August 1910) was an English social reformer, statistician and the founder of modern nursing. Nightingale came to prominence while serving as a manager and trainer of nurses during the Crimean War, in which she organised care for wounded soldiers at Constantinople.

I might live in Kentucky but I absolutely love Unusual Things and try and watch all of them. I really enjoy seeing all the cemeteries while you talk about the person. I might not recognize the names of everyone but I watch a lot of the old English sitcoms so quite a few are familiar. And you’re so respectful as you’re walking and talking through the cemetery. I think I’ve found it! 👈🏻
Hi Paul, LOVE your channel ❤️ !!!! What a beautiful video. What an amazing woman 😇🙏 At first when I saw her tombstone I was mortified that it was soooooo simple and seemed to lack any gratitude, appreciation, admiration and respect for everything that this incredible woman accomplished but then I read that it was her wish for it to remain simple. Sounds like a deeply compassionate kind-hearted human being. God Bless you Florence!! You are walking amongst the angels. 😇😇 😇 😇
Some male patients fall in love with the nurse looking after them even in todays hospitals, it's known as the Florence Nightingale Effect.
Changed and reformed modern nursing in Crimea as far as I remember (from school not actually there- not that old :)) basic things like washing hands with soap wasn’t being done. Infection rates plummeted because of changes enforced by Nightingale. Nursing became fashionable in Victorian Britain after Florence’s accounts published, whereas prior nursing had been deemed as an undesirable work for ‘ladies’. It’s been a long time since school; hope I haven’t made a mess with my Memory!
No mess whatsoever.

Yes you are right about washing hands and cross contamination / infection control. She was a hero.
Wow 90 she did well. She gave us so much to be grateful for. If only the world was full of her kind, what an amazing individual.
A beautiful tribute to a wonderful, brave woman who devoted her life to the sick an vulnerable and must of brought so much light to those she cared for.
In 1986 I suffered from kidney failure and fast forward to present day I'm now terminally ill and I thank all that have helped me and offered their devotion to love and care for me so a huge thank you to Florence Nightingale who set the standards for today's nursing albeit the nurses are rushed off their feet bless them 🙏🏻
They are Angels all of our medical staff.
Yes, they are angels. I remembered the nurses who took care of me when I had my surgery.
Bless your heart mark always
@@nicolasimpkins3640 bless you too Nicole
What a beautiful monument, and bench. This lady definitely deserves the recognition, and remembrance. Thanks Paul.
What a lovely video paul
Florence was truly a beautiful person
Devoting her life to saving others
Im so glad she has such a beautiful headstone soo well deserved
Nice one paul
R i p florence nightingal
The lady with the lamp 🥀
She was an angel and a hero, Paul. Cheers for such an inspirational vid. 👍
Well done mate showing people where a legendary woman lays to rest👍. I don't know why I find a graveyard so fascinating even before I found your channel. I could walk around the graveyard reading gravestones happily and peacefully. Maybe because there's never no negativity on a gravestone you'll never read a bad things said about anyone.
Thankyou...enjoyed hearing about Florence nightingale... lived until 90..wow that was a good age...she was blessed
Paul such a privilege to say thank you to you for this beautiful video thanks to florence an those nurses who followed in her footsteps then an now grateful thanks to all doctors an nurses who work so hard you all are florence nightingale with wings thanks paul so well done bless them all 👍👍👍👍
Fascinating, Paul. Another famous and influential person buried in a quiet country churchyard, like Montgomery and Churchill. There's a Florence Nightingale museum near London Bridge and nearby is the Old Operating Theatre and Herb Garret museum which depicts early forms of surgery, and isn't for the squeamish. They used to sprinkle sawdust on the floor to soak up the blood.
It seems so incongruous that her relatives have a full inscription, and yet the woman who has saved so many lives and who continues to save lives well into the future, through her nursing principles and reforms, has so little on her headstone. It is almost obscene. Thank goodness she was recognised during covid with the Nightingale hospitals. It is almost unimaginable the impact that Florence has had on humanity and always will have on humanity. Absolutely staggering really. Thanks Paul.
work as a A&E nurse in Western Australia we have an original brick on display of Florence Nightingale London house, great video Paul 👍
Fascinating detail on such a special lady. My eldest daughter has newly qualified as a staff nurse and is working in accident and emergency. At such a young age she is seeing and dealing with harrowing personal tragedies daily. All of our health service staff are truly special people and it is a job I just couldn’t do. They deserve so much more support and salary than they currently get. Florence led the way and set an outstanding example. RIP Florence. Great video as always Paul. Thanks 👍🏻
I really think it’s awesome the way you show the respect for those resting places you find.
What an amazing woman!
No doubt she was God sent.
Thank you.
I love these videos - thank you. There is the beautiful grave of Mary Seacole, the "Black Florence Nightingale", in St Mary's RC Cemetary next to Kensal Green Cemetary in London. Worth having a read about her if you haven't heard of her.
what a beautiful tribute to a very inspiring lady . God bless
The brief F. N. And dates of birth and death were in keeping with her views. She didn’t want any fuss made. A great lady who lived and died in power of her own convictions…
Did you know that at the age of 37 she took to her bed, initially through illness, but she never got out of her bed again. She also went against anyone that advocated careers for women. Many nurses trained in her schools but refused to work directly under her. She said she preferred men to have the highest careers stating they were more capable than women. Yes she wrote many papers about medicine, but many of them are not followed today. Many nurses today do not admire her. Nursing tutors today don’t give her much time. She is said to be the founder of nursing because there wasn’t a nursing profession at the time, not for her medical knowledge. She founded her schools and they were the first to exist. I could go on, but suffice it to say, she was a very selfish and rude woman.
There is an early cylinder recording of her from 1890
When I am no longer even a memory just a name
I hope my voice may perpetuate
the great work of my life .
God bless my dear old comrades of Balaclava
and bring them safe to shore
Florence Nightingale
They could have written some nice things about her, surely. What an inspirational woman. Still talked about so many years later. The seat was nice, though. God bless her 🙏
Dziękuje za przypomnienie tej wybitnej pielęgniarki.Sama jestem pielęgniarką i ta postać jest mi bliska.Cieszę się też za możliwość zobaczenia miejsca pochówku.
Oooooh looking forward to this one! Historical figures are some of my favourites…❤
So sad that she didn't have her full name on her tomb if you didn't know that was her without this video. And she turned down Westminster Abbey to be buried she must have been very modest lady. Thanks again Paul.
Hat off to FN. Jus’ a good person that did the right thing. I’ll be supporting the nurses in the upcoming battle for a wage increase. Always undervalued by the politicians.
I remember out teacher reading us, the lady of the lamp, in infant school, the soldiers used to get comfort from her shadow from the lamp when night fell.. Storytelling like this will always stay with us, it’s one of the best ways….
Great video again.
As a fellow taphophile I love to see all of the cemeteries you are able to visit as I’m unable to travel far.
I do love visiting my local ones though and find them so calming and grounding.
Take care and look forward to the next one 😊
I just wish back in time when she passed away, that much deserved words of Compassion and better recognition were expressed on her Cenotaph..Thank God Paul has the respect and Compassion to make up for a Million missed Words....Thankyou and once again Paul, WELL PRESENTED AS USUAL....
❤❤ Thank you so much Paul for sharing this video of Florence nightingale. She was my Inspiration. Through her knowledge and wisdom wisdom I went in to care work with the elderly. She will always be my inspiration. A big, big thank you Paul. I am glad that I found your channel. A mega thank you. ❤❤
good old flossie. I'm a nurse. she put nurses in white to prove the clothing was spotless (they used to wear black) she was a genius on asepsis before there WAS such. everything was scrubbed. however, in her later life, she complained of illiness, and was bedridden. nothing was ever proved to be wrong with her, and she lived to old age.
Every body forgate things that Mary Seacole had done praise Florence Nightgale because Mary is a black woman she didt any praise
Wow can’t believe Florence nightingale grave is in a normal grave yard. That’s amazing.
I really respect Florence Nightingale not only for the way she helped those soldiers but also for being strong an doing her own thing when all women were expected to do was be homemakers. Her epitaph very humble but maybe that's the way she would have wanted it because she was very selfless it seems. I really enjoyed listening about her life thank you these videos always entertaining and interesing.
Can you go to West Wycombe church yard near the Hellfire Cave's please
An excellent and interesting video Paul,
It's nice to see that they did Florence Nightingale proud by providing her with a beautiful memorial. It's great to see that it's standing the test of time. Years ago every church door was open for you to wander around. Nowadays, not so. Too many thefts and disrespect by a minority, have put paid to that. A sign of the times I'm afraid ...🙂👍🏻
I remember the times when church doors were open for us to pop in & say prayers & sit in PEACE in God's house.
What an awesome little graveyard. Love how the headstones are predominantly white and Nightingale’s is a larger marker and much more white than the rest… like a beacon… ❤
Oh my goodness me! I still remember learning about her in primary school 🚸 wow. What a beautiful monument. Interesting vid Paul, ty. Have a great weekend 👍 😎 😁 x
Mary seacole, was the amazing person you need 2 find, born in Jamaica, 1805,died Paddington, London 1881. Mixed race, she was the real, lady with the lamp....... 🏴🏴🇫🇷🇫🇷
And you can't miss that one either, it's had an upgrade.
Alberto I was just thinking the same. Mary didn't get the same recognition as Florence although they did cross path..I believe they unveiled a stature outside a London hospital Charing Cross maybe not sure. So yes Paul that's an interesting one for your next. Podcast. Thank you for all what you do.
Are you sure? Further reading required....
@@vetty1405 The statue of Mary Seacole is outside St Thomas Hospital and Faces the Houses of Parliament
@@howard1707 thank you for that Howard, I wasn't sure thanks for the clarity, much appreciated 👍🏾🙏🏾
Don't bother with Mary Seacole, she was a pub owner in the Crimea, never a nurse
Wonderful woman. Brilliant video Paul❤
We could do with more people like her she sorted the 🏥 out and reformed medical care thank our florance nitingale you were a good lady
Class Paul again 🐱 statue of Florence in Walsall Town Centre
Two of my great aunts lived at Holloway, Derbyshire and we could see Lea Hurst from their garden. Both worked at the nursing home there back in the 1970s if I recall. They were both big fans of Florence. I hadn't known she was born in Florence!
Holloway about a mile from where I live ... crich
@@garymason3499 Lovely place to be
👍👍 You should now follow this up with Edith Cavell at Norwich Cathedral!
brilliant viewing paul could you turn your mic up mate
I am a regular Paul, I congratulate you for getting up so early in the morning to bring us these. Florence Nightingale, the lady who started it all. Well done another enjoyable tour. I live in the south-west of Scotland.
I trained as a nurse at St Thomas’ Hospital at the Nightingale School
of Nursing back in 1977. She left a real legacy in what she did, especially in the face of opposition and that she was a woman who was determined to do what she wanted to do, as many women were suppressed and had no freedom and were expected to be submissive.
Thank you for posting this Paul. Your videos are simply brilliant every time. 👍🍺
She had something to do with the crimean war are that's where she started her nursing
This was very interesting for me as my great great great grandfather was nursed by Florence Nightingale.
Thank you for the information you provide along with showing us the graves.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very interesting Video That you. 💥
Thank you Paul, I have lived in wellow since 1981 it was special that you went to wellow church, such a beautiful church with so many people been laid to rest, love watching you, paul
I had a ladybird book of Florence nightingale given to me when I was young. I am now 53 and I still have the book and it's still in good condition
Was it called" The lady with the lamp"?
Liked the video from Margaret P
My grandad's sister, Florence married a Mr Nightingale. My grandad used to say he had a Florence Nightingale in the family and I assumed he meant a nurse until I started researching our family on one of the genealogy sites and realised it was actually her name.
Hi Paul,
Thank you.
An extraordinary human being, who lived and achieved so much in her 90 year's.
With her legacy it would be impossible to calculate lives saved because of her knowledge and dedication.
I'm constantly surprised at graves of famous people you have visited and the very unremarkable churches and ground's that they now reside.
One last comment that church door at St Margaret's, with a firmer push would have collapsed into splinters, from what I could see of its current state.
You need to come to St Mary's church , great Brington, Northampton, it's where I believe lady Diana is buried along with her father Earl Spencer, and not on the island in Althorpe as everyone thinks , you must go to that church it's so beautiful, they also say there is a tunnel running from Althorpe to the church ..walking in there you feel like lady Diana is definitely there , great video 🖤
Thank you Claire, I will do 🙏
No,Princess Diane IS buried on the ISLAND!
@@davidknowles3459 yep so they say ...but it's what I believe, that she is in the crypt with her father ..
Loved the tribute to Florence nightingale..thank you..xx
Yay finally you got there. Lol. Stunning little church too but was locked last time we visited.
Now i have heard of Florence Nightingale she was the lady with the lamp. Was taught about her when i was at school. She was a nurse wasn't she if i remember.
More quality content. Thanks Paul 🙂
Thank you for another interesting video. I enjoy watching them as I learn things and get to see the English countryside and the old churches etc, as I'm from NZ. Keep up the great work
Rest in Peace, Ms. Nightengale. Probably the mother of preventative care. Our lamps shine for you and those we care for.

What a lovely woman ❤
thank-You Paul I watch And Subscribe To All Your Videos, You Are Such Beautiful Natured Man Thankyou For the Amazing respect You have With All Your posts, God Bless You xxxx
Florence Nightingales 5th Great Grandparents …Thomas Nightingale and Jane Lane …are my 9th Great Grandparents x x x
A lovely tribute to the wonderful, brave lady who devoted so much of her life to helping the ill 🤒.
I had a swollen testicle once and was rushed to hospital quickly. Luckily for me, they managed to coax me out of pain and I felt a lot better. She set the standard and I'll always be grateful.
Thank you so, so much Florence ❤ 😊
I love hearing about FN…she has a museum open to the public in St Thomas’s Hospital which I would love to visit one day!!! She was a wonderful lady who stands out as a very strong female of her time…not to marry so she could dedicate her life to becoming a nurse!!! RIP Florence…!!! X❤️🙃🙏🏻✝️
The Flonce Nightingale is the heroine who changed the world of nursing and the world of health. Healthy and successful greetings for channel owners and the world community. from Indonesian Nurses. (SATAR)
What a beautiful memorial! I think you said it was a special marble or similar? Just wondering how it’s stayed in such pristine condition for over 100 years, unless persons unknown, regularly clean it and touch up the writing when necessary. But it’s certainly stunning, and fitting for the lady who forged ahead and established the basic rules of hygiene for a start, which lessoned many infections for a start.
You think about the Russia v Uranian war currently raging around Ukraine and the Crimea yet again, and think what it must have been like for those young women landing back there then in those awful times of battle and mayhem, and immediately met with wounded,dead and dying men…how frightening it must have been with the noise of guns, cannons etc firing around and over them. I’m glad she lived a long life, and as one who unfortunately has spent much time in hospitals over time, I am very grateful to her for all her input and basic training for nursing.
Thankyou Paul…I’m so sorry you had such an early start and long drive, but really appreciate all the trips you make, and famous people you find to introduce us to!! Take care and stay safe! Love Helen 🙋♀️😘👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🦋🦋🦋🦋🥰
Hi Paul, beautiful place, wonder why only her initial but other family members have full inscriptions. Lovely headstone though.
Thank you. A fascinating woman, became familiar with her from the Anna Neagle film Lady with the Lamp. The graveyard looks lovely in the morning light. Keep up the good work.😉
East wellow…think I know where that is and will definitely go and pay my respects….🧙🏻♀🧙🏻♀💐
Just watched this on my telly,and what a really interesting video about the great lady Florence Nightingale. Lovely churchyard,with the gorgeous sunrise on the clouds. All the information about Florence was amazing,you have done your research well Paul,as you usually do…….I wonder how many others watching you started singing country Road,take me home …. along with you as I did.
Thanks again Paul.
Hi paul another cracking vid florence was and is an inspiration. And today where would we be without the hard working nurses today bless them all. R.I.P. Florence.x.
One impressive thing she did was to invent a way to display her statistical evidence, in a way it couldn't be ignored, even from a woman (not my, but 19th century bias), when it came to the reason for mortality in the Crimean war. Just look up "rose diagram" or "peacock diagram", still very much used today.
Great presentation again Paul . Nice to remember a nurse who gave so much to people with health needs . We all need medical help at some time in our lives . I am currently on dialysis 3 times a week with great care given to me by THE NHS . I enjoy your tributes and wonder who will be next ? I think i found it !!!
Can you go Theragen can you say this from me France Nightingale thank you for everything you did everyone’s been fixed what you did thank you from help if you wanna live we will be Purley and different with Polly be
She was an Angel sent from above, as a Southampton guy im guessing this is St Margarets of Antioch church in East Wellow, couple of miles away from Romsey.
So Florence’s sister died on Florence’s 70th birthday! 3 months after their mother died!
Their Father was born William Edward Shore but due to inheriting the estate he also had to take on the family name.
What an incredible human being -- RIP FN, you gave us so much, thank you!¡!
Any war would have tested any young lady & the Crimean war was pretty grim, however four years after her death WW1 & the carnage that followed would have been terrible for Florence to understand. RIP to a great & kind lady.
I was ten years old first time I visited her grave in 1962..been many times since...there is a recording of her voice recorded in 1890...
Thank you for another great video Paul.
What a beautiful grave Florence Nightingale has..
It's a shame to see the long grass as this is what caused me to miss where my gt gt grandparents were buried but I found them.
An absolute legend a truly inspirational woman. Thank you Paul - beautifully done as ever.
Florence Nightingale was born at 1810 but she died at 1910 her dad homeschooled her her sister is so annoying but she didn’t go back
Loved the bench fitting memorial to her wonderful woman.If you could choose from the great people in history to have round a dinner table for me she would be one of them.My nana and mum were midwives in Second World Wartakes a certain personality to do nursing well.Thank you for showing us interesting as always.
Beautiful grave of a Beautiful women who was so dedicated…love her and everything she stood for …Thankyou Paul for bringing this too us …Brilliant video X👏
What about doing Brookwood cemetery Paul? Sarah Smith, the widow of the Titanic captain is buried there. Might be an interesting one. X
Cheers will look into
His daughters are also buried there.
Great, you should check out Edith Cavell from Norfolk, another great hero.
Thanks so much for all your visits I find them really interesting. Nearly all that you do should never be forgotten thank you very much for keeping all off them in our thoughts
Was filling up watching that. 🥺 superbly delivered as usual Paul
What a wonderful woman.
God Bless you Florence.
Rest in the joy of love and peace.
Fascinating and informative video not sure I would’ve as chirpy at 7am thankyou for this information you do have a cute head 😊💕
I lived in Southampton for most of the 80’s, I wish I’d known where she was buried, strange not much is written for her on the memorial compared to the other family members
Supposively one of my ancestors was her Sunday school teacher.
That was interesting to see. modest to the end accordingly to her inscription. She was indeed an earth angel who lived to do God's work.
