Mind-Blowing Homes for the Dead Unique Mausoleums journey into the past
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.พ. 2024
- Today we are back in Co. Clare in west Ireland, What I find intriguing about Kilmurry-Ibrickane Church ruins and graveyard is the road that divides the site in two.
Extract from County Clare Heritage.
According to a local historian with fantastic knowledge of the area, the local landlord demanded that the bodies were dug up and moved in order to accommodate the construction of the road. This means that the graveyard was in existence before the road.
Griffiths Valuation of Tenements shows that Charles McDonnell was the landlord of Kilmurry in 1855. One could suppose he was the landlord who made this order to inter the remains of the deceased and to install this road for his personal use. But because we don’t have any earlier records I cannot verify this as a fact.
Unfortunately, the Down survey maps of 1711 were destroyed in a fire and so we do not know the size of the graveyard in the 1700s. I find this story harrowing and can’t begin to imagine the upset it cause the surviving relatives.

Done
@irenerogers thanks Irene 😊
done, thanks for the reminder, i have trouble remembering things
Always Sue 👍❤
i liked yer story ,.my nanna was a kelly.👍👍👍😉
What a gorgeous, unusual graveyard. And, you found that Morty died at age 85. Born in 1748! Great tour. Thanks Sue!
I've named those round handle thingies "ring pulls" 😂🤣. Another quaint little stone village for the dearly departed. Great find guys, thank you. Deb of Oz XXX
Haha Debs, that's perfect !!
Kinda reminds me of what's in the shafts of the pyramids. Must have some kind of significance.
You sure know how to pick the spots. The mosoleums are absolutely gorgeous.
Cheers Joe, they are amazing and I haven't seen them anywhere else only the west of Ireland
Oh dear Sue just when I think wow what a walk and stories ,yes everyone of them are SPECTACULAR... but then it's like sue outdid herself for us. Love ya girl and GV too.❤😊❤😊😊😊
Wow, thank you
Large rustic graveyard. Very well taken care of. I can’t help but wonder if graves were moved to make way for the road. Enjoyed video, you take care.
They definitely were, all the on graveyard split in too but where did the bodies get moved too?
God Bless, Sue and GV and Family. 👍✌🏼🫶🏼💚💚💚💚
Thank you so much, God bless to you and family too 🙏
Very interesting and unusual grave yard. Thank you Sue 💖💖💖💖💐💐
Glad you enjoyed it ❤️❤️
Hi sue Steve from England that post was awesome, that cemetery was like being in a little village. Some of the walls of the tombs need a little pointing up . Magnificent place, not happy about the arseholes who put the devils horns on the poor young girls portrait.
My gosh! You found Morty and my family, Cotter! I've never seen anything like this graveyard before. I can't imagine how they're able to get machinery in there to dig. It's beautiful, non the less, and you did a great job moving through, and not stepping on the graves. My luck, I'd have toppled over and on to one! Lol God bless you two 💛
Thank you so much 💓
Thank you Sue! This is the most unusual graveyard ever. So old and the flat stones are so random. The stones mausoleums are beautiful!!! Thank you for this walk today! ❤❤❤
Thanks so much ❤️
Hello,Sue. Hope your day is going well. I have been very inspired by all your videos,and the tours you do in these old and beautiful graveyards. Your work is outstanding. God bless from Oklahoma U.S.
Thanks so much Rebecca, hope to see you later in the live chat 💕
Yes, God bless from Tulsa oklahoma. I enjoy your videos. I love the history and hearing about when the people lived. Wouldn't it be interesting if we could know more about their lives. What were their favorite foods, favorite things to do and such.
@nikkidodd2305 I often think of these things too, we wouldn't be here only for them, the sacrifices they made, they loved, laughed, felt grief, had children etc
Beautiful old Graveyard amazing... 💕
It's one of my favourites
Hey Serenity Sue, that is a beautiful cemetery, it does look like small houses, that doorway into the other Mausoleums was gorgeous, it had a very Medieval, Castle 🏰 type of look.
What an amazing place, never seen so many grave slabs and such large celtic crosses, thanks for showing this
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you
Good afternoon Sue & everyone from northeastern North Carolina. I'm a recent subscriber & happy to be here
Thanks so much, great seeing you there
YIPEE!! You FINALLY found Morty's ancestral tomb!! Now, he can reconnect with his family again, and they can have dead loud parties, with Boney M playing in the background!! XXXX ❤💞👍☠🎉🎊
Nadia 😅🤣😅🤣
What a beautifully kept cemetery ,and the mausoleums just like a little village for the departed.A great find ,top number,safe travels ,take care .Sleep well don’t catch cold,👋👋🙏🙏😴😴👍🇦🇺
How’d Monty feel about finding his ancestors?
Ahh he's thrilled
Thank You Peter, say hi to the family
Carol said hi back,having lunch next sat,17th with two of my nieces I haven’t seen since the 60s,should be a gas,👋👋🙏👍🇦🇺
@@peterredfern1174 that will be fun 😁
Greetings from Poteet Texas I really like this cemetery thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Gawd. I live in Arizona, never heard of that place in Texas. Going to have to Google that... ❤️
That was excellent Sue what a beautiful rugged graveyard I loved the "little houses" and I see you found Morty's rellies lol!. I want to visit that place when I come to Ireland, you did a great job thank you love to you and GV 👏👏💜💜
Glad you enjoyed it Jules ❤️
What a special place! Another magical graveyard made for hobbits and fairies and little people. So sweet the way it is kept! Although they are squeezed in no one feels over taken by another. I am glad you found Morty for your sakes. The name Shanahan is famous here because there is a famous NFL coach by the same name. Elegant headstones and newly replaced ones too. County Clare is taking care of its own ... very nice to see. God bless them all! 🇮🇪🙏♥️🇺🇸
Thanks Janet, it's definitely a favourite of mine now
Wow...what an amazing place and so beautiful! Thank you Sue!
Thanks Pamela ❤️
As always, you have delivered another fascinating video....We never miss a single one. Jean from New York
Thanks so much Jean
Brilliant video.. lovely place there..
Many thanks, it's a fantastic place
Brilliant 👏 soo interesting ,excellent video thankyou once again😊take care
Glad you enjoyed it, take care
Interesting and large place
Thanks Feral ❤
This place is amazing
Thanks Hazel ❤️
Very cool place! 😎
Thanks Laura ❤️
Is the custom of mourners being pall bearers common in Ireland? With the hills in some grave yards. And the flat tombstones it looks positively dangerous to carry anything through here . Let alone a heavy lead lined wooden coffin!
Yes, all family are pall bearers helped by funeral directors
Got in here late, but love to see the live stuff. Thanks.
Ahh thanks so much ❤️
I love your videos and how you talk about the history of the gravesites you and your husband talk about. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the one month membership! Very much appreciated ❤
More than welcome 🙏
HI Serenity Sue, I posted here, but it disappeared, lol 😆 I can't remember what I said, getting older, dementia maybe? This, like one poster said is a beautiful Necropolis...Amazing Mausoleums! God Bless You & Irish Eye's!!!
Thank you ❤️
thanks sue and GV .
Very welcome 🙏
Love the stone work on these vaults and the layout of the cemetery
Wow thank you Sue what a beautiful old graveyard. In such great condition. Well taken care of no vandalism. Please both of you take care. And God’s blessings. 🙏🏻❤️
Thanks so much ❤️
My dear friend! You always find the most gorgeous tombs, mausoleums etc. I thoroughly enjoyed the Necropolis in Glasgow. Then I visited the Pere Chapelle in Paris. Absolutely full of famous people. You would simply love it. As always thank you so very much for sharing 🥀🥀🥀 xxx
I have several videos on Père-Lachaise, it was amazing but so hot, I also visited a few more cemeteries in Paris, what a wonderful place it is
Lovely cemetery! It does look like a city for the dead.
Strange how some people do things that most would find distasteful, to down right sinful...
But one thing, when a lot of mausoleums are closed up after an interment, they cement up the doorway. It doesn't take much to remove the mortar and open the door back up, something they don't advertise for obvious reasons!
Thanks for the wonderful video guys!
I always look forward to your videos!
Thanks so much ❤️
Maybe this is where Morty disappeared to. How would you like to drive the road on a bike at night with a full moon. It kind of looks like a little town.
Tiny roads, tiny villages but I absolutely love Clare, yes Morthy said this is his family lol
I’m in awe of the architecture of the tombs. Makes you wonder back in the 1800’s the numbers of tradesmen who created these wonders. Thank you for sharing.
So true, I'd imagine it took months and moths to make these beautiful vaults
Now this is a real necropolis aka city of the dead. It has houses making up a neighborhood. Simply awesome.
I love them, really unique
The Rock work on the church was totally amazing. Miss Sue 😊
It sure is, absolutely amazing to see
great tour Sue , that graveyard was so full not a bit of land to be spared .loved you finally found Mortys resting place lol and sad someone vandalised that lovely ladies picture , found the place so interesting thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks Julia, oh finding Morty was such a hoot, it's a very interesting place, so beautiful
@@SerenitySueGraveyards it did look beautiful 😍 the place lush and green
@cemeteriesdownunder9247 thank you ❤️
Beautiful Sue! Just beautiful! I love the Celtic Crosses
Thank you so much!
Very unusual, but beautiful cemetery. They're obviously taking really good care of it. 👍
They are, which is lovely to see
Amazing place ... so many graves ... thanks Sue ... your amazing
Thanks so much!
What an interesting graveyard.Amazing stonework excellent masons in the area. The carvings were so well done also. That first mausoleum of the Powers must of had the plaque with the old names missing as for sure it was built long before the 1920's. So nice to have the families together like that. Fascinating, thanks so much for the excellent presentation. BTW the places in Ontario where I grew up had lovely stone houses built by the Scottish and Irish people who help build our country back in the early 1830's and onward. They came to the places where there was lots of stone and land like their home and the Ukrainian people build the western provinces with lots of prairie and farmland, just as where they came from. We do not of course have graveyards like this but I do remember the celtic style crosses
Thanks so much Linda ❤️
Beautiful Graveyard Sue ❤ Thank You again for showing us ❤
Very welcome 🙏
Thanks Sue the sunlight in the first shot across that beautiful floor was brilliant, and the bones just left under the altar is very strange to say the least.
Hopefully you'll let me know who it is, I hope it is the hermit who sadly fell and broke his neck 😢. We will remember your story Forevermore so therefore you did make it outside, now you can fly higher than you ever imagined. RIP our friend the hermit xx much love as always love from Tricia xx excellent viewing Sue thanks ❤ xx
Thanks Tricia, unfortunately I don't know who'd bones they are but it sure was a beautiful place
Don't forget me been a world win. See you soon in chat. Miss everyone 💞🤗. Beautiful place.
Never Susan, I am always thinking of you, please know that ❤️❤️
Another fantastic video. Can’t watch them too often as they make me wish I lived there! Beautiful!
Many thanks!
That is a Beautiful place...
Watching this video from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Thank you ❤️
What an interesting and unusual cemetery..Love your trips to Clare always a treat..❤
Glad you enjoyed it Maureen ❤️
I think the saddest place on Earth, is a children's' graveyard; and so many of the graves are of young people; even teens and 20s. I keep saying I'd love to tour these sites you show to us. Thanks again
So sad seeing young lives lost
Thank you, Sue! This is beautiful.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for the tour, you do a wonderful job and are so appreciated! Thanks from Indiana USA
You are so welcome!
Two things about this one. One, it was interesting that this cemetery didn't have multiple tombs into which you could see remains. Secondly there was some beautiful stone work in these buildings.
The stone work is amazing
Wow what adventure going around within this unusual but beautiful and peaceful full of stone history - thank you Sue for helping to understand the layout
Hi Sue, I absolutely adore these little places, they feel so enchanted
@@SerenitySueGraveyards l so agree
Amazing, just simply amazing! Thank you very much Sue and GV, this is one of your best videos. Have a great weekend. 😊
Thanks Michael ❤️
@@SerenitySueGraveyardsYou are very much welcome! Thank you very much for getting back to me.
Thank you so much this cemetery is fascinating WOW. God Bless see you next time. 🙏🙏❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for sharing, Sue.
You are so welcome ❤️
Wow!! Thank you.❤❤🙏
You are so welcome
The mausoleums plaxs are very beautiful ❤❤ It's as if the mausoleum s were build on the roadside that they can not run of flat Graves.❤❤
It's so unique, like walking into a little sweet village
Great video Sue 👍 the scales on gravestones usually mean justice has been done so I was told yrs ago by an old person it would make you wonder what happened to the people buried 🤔🤔🤔
That sounds right to me, yes you always wonder what happened
One of my ancestors,4 x great grandfather,David Horan was from Clare, His father was Morris Horan
BIRTH ABT. 1800 • Kilballyowen,County Clare,Ireland .So I find these things very interesting. David was transported in 1835 for the term of his Natural life to New South wales penal colony and only lived until 38 .He was 12 when he was placed in chains and taken aboard the prison ship Eliza,.
Ahh way too young, how sad 😔
Fantastic 💕
Thanks so much ❤️
Wow Marty's family great and very close mausoleums. Thanks for this video.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you
Wow! Amazing churchyard! I can imagine people driving past without realising the buildings are grave vaults. The stonework is incredible. As I mentioned in previous comments - how close the graves are to each other. People having to walk
over the graves. Some would call it disrespectful, but one doesn’t 30:32 have a choice. Is there something in the brickwork that attract the lichen? So much of it - more than any I have seen in your other walks. Perhaps it’s the sea air??
Thank you both once again for such an interesting tour.
Don’t catch cold 👍👍😉
Yes, I'd imagine it's the sea air, yes even locals said its OK to walk across them
Take care, sue nice and relaxing video...
Thank you so much, very kind of you ❤️❤️
So much character here sue 😊 lovely resting place .
It really is Tina, they are so sweet and well maintained too
the first time i see a very old cemetery, never seen like this here in Australia, thank you Sue, your vlogs catch my attention very interesting
Glad you enjoyed, thanks 😊
Hi, I'm a new member and love your channel. From Canada and sharing your videos with all my friends
Awesome! Thank you for being here
Those are the coziest looking mausoleums !!
I love them, definitely homes for the dead
Aren't those small metal rings called door knockers? That cemetery is huge and very interesting. Thanks for sharing. 😊
They probably are, I couldn't think what to call them lol
Another great video thank for making it I love that old church and the crypts do look like house's
Me too Jamie, just so beautiful
Great place and so unusual. Thanks for another incredible video
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you so much. Love your videos. And I have just watched a video about a Scottish graveyeard, where they found a stone with 'This headpiece...' on it too. Also Victorian.
Brilliant, I've never seen one before, very unique those Victorians
Another wonderful video. The stonework is very impressive! Cheers.
Thank you ❤️
This looks so old with the rusted locks. The tombs are rustic.😊
They are, really loved it here
Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure!
I just watched a video on the graveside of the 8th president of the US...Martin van Buren. His cemetery is also split by a road...with Graves on either side and no fences. It probably happens more than you think. Lovely video.😊
Thanks so much ❤️
Enjoyed the video!❤
Thank you!!
Your channel is great 👍🏻
Thank you very much!
Really truly, beautiful!
Thank you very much!
That place is ripe for a ghost story involving that road cut thru it. Like the unrest of the bodies that were no doubt paved over. Some great stone work once again in this episode. 👍
Yes, I can only imagine the spirits being unhappy, the place is so beautiful, great workmanship
Absolutely loved this walk thru, fascinating 🐨💗
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you ❤️
What a unique place. It always seems to be windy and cold too.
Most of the time, very changeable weather here
@@SerenitySueGraveyards it rained here yesterday. Lost most of our snow.
@l.l.-kz7mn I'd love some snow
Very beautiful graveyard for sure. It's interesting to see several names that I know or have heard of. Stay safe and healthy!
That's brilliant, I knew a few names too there
Great video, love all the lichen and stone.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you
These "Mausoleums" are nothing more than old world homes that have been buried with mud and lost to time. Repurposed as a place to commemorate the dead, since many of the people who died there were buried alive inside their own homes. Look at that place as a former city, not an erected graveyard.
As always, thank you for sharing what you are finding.
Thank you
❤👍😀👍 Thank You Sue !
Very welcome 🙏
I'm glad you found your master Morty ha ha beautiful old cemetery to bad people are throwing rubbish in it.
Ahh I couldn't stop laughing
Congratulations on finding Morty! I would love to go to this place😊
It was amazing
A true necropolis. It looks like a small village as you approach.
It did and as we were trying to find it, I thought first we were entering a village
Hi Sue, Im an Aussie, but i was born in County Clare.
No way, wow, Clare is just beautiful, if I had to live somewhere else, I'd choose Clare
RIP lovely Nora, karma will sort the vandals xxx
It's terrible they can't just leave a grave alone
What a stunning place
It really is!
Hi Sue GV what stunning place
Thanks, it's amazing
This is so cool❤
Thanks Nonie
❤❤❤ from Boston guys !!!
Thanks Tracy ❤️
Very interesting graveyard. I’d hate to be stuck in the road at night right between the two 😮
Imagine that 😳
