Lovely gentleman there, Brendan. Thank you sir for the stories, history, and family backgrounds. Brendan should be writing books! We are indebted to this gentleman for his time and knowledge. Thank you from the USA. You too GV.
I would have never believed so many in the world shared my obsession with graves. Nice to find friends I started in 1962 when I was twelve years old following my dad around hunting ancestors.
Thank ya'll so much. My great grandmother loved to walk around cemeteries. Especially the local one. She shared with me all the information about all of the people she had known, that had passed away. This presentation was excellent. Blessings to all.
Thank you so much for this great video. I live in the US but absolutely love Irish history. My dream has always been to come to Ireland bur this will probably be the only way I will see Ireland, through you and Serenity Sue's videos. Keep up the great work. Bless you both.
I’m obsessed with medieval history so thank you very much for covering this this little courtyard is beautiful with the old stones in the greenery and I appreciate you giving me the history I did not have this so now I can study it more so thank you very much for doing the story
This was a great find Grave👏🏻👍🏻. Brendon gave an excellent history tour! I am so glad you have all this information recorded for history. Again, thanks for this very interesting tour!
@@GraveVisitations Well, I would say she didnt get the chance, but the thing is the English soldiers here would have been depicted as heroes. Coming home from war with India, they had no right to be there in the first place. Indians not given a mention, heroes the English, I dont think so.
Incredible history, GV. My paternal gggrandmother's maiden name was Preston. I was able to trace her roots to Ireland back to the 1600's. Am still working on it. Sure is a lot of work, but so fun and interesting. Thank you so much GV for bringing this history to us.
Thank you for sharing. I'm from Oklahoma in USA and not able to see awsome things like this in person. Great historical site. My father is from the Preston family. Nice to know the history!
WOW! What a wealth of information Brendan has. I'll have to return to Ireland to visit the old Cemeteries. So glad I found this post. Thank you GV for taking us on these adventures. God bless you from California, USA
What a informative guy to know our history like he does I think I learned more about our Irish history in 20 minutes from him than I did in school fair play to him an to you for showing us this amazing place it just goes to show you learn something new every day ❤️ my grandmother was an o Carroll and this is just lovely to know ❤️
My husband’s heritage can be traced back to the 1200’s. There is a town in England named after one of his forebears. It so cool to know where he came from. And I love doing research on it thanks in part to your amazing video. You are an inspiration. Thank you once again. This was fascinating!
The farthest back I can trace my roots is 1580 freudenstadt Germany. I can’t trace my Scottish or English roots back any further than early 1800’s. I can’t even imagine tracing back to 1200’s!!! That’s amazing!
Great video,very interesting history of the Preston family ,amazing what one can learn.Well nite to you all ,brekkie time here ,god bless from ballarat in Oz,👏👏🙏🙏👋🇦🇺
@@GraveVisitations I once went on a guided tour of a small walled city in Italy. The guide was the local Parish Priest and he had the key to a Church which had fallen into ruins but was still so interesting. We learnt so much that day - so enjoyable.
How fascinating, I would love to see that in person!! I was surprised that so many stones are tipping over. Hopefully someone can fix them before they break. Great video
That was so interesting. We need so much more of this passion for history today for the sake of our children and youth! Thankyou for such a revealing look at the history of Ireland and of the figures who helped to shape the Christian values of the Irish people. God bless and thankyou for another outstanding video!
Wow! I agree, Brendan should write a book about all this, so much knowledge about all the history there ! Whoever else would ever know as much again! So please Brendan, your locking history away from future people interested. I’m wondering whoever had the idea for these Cadaver tombs! You said they were made in England and brought over, so does anyone watching know of any cadaver tombs in England,? Whoever would have come up with the gruesome idea, to show beetles,worms and maggots devouring the body as it rotted…..yuk! But apart from the yuk side,it was truly fascinating to learn all about this. I wonder how many bodies are down in the vaults below? It’s a lovely little chapel, so peaceful, and a lovely private place to bury your family eventually. Thank you for investigating this GV ….you learn so much about Irish History and rules from this channel, and I love how Ireland seems to have either milder weather or harder grave stone material to allow us to see such beautiful carvings, names and the dates incredibly going back more than 100 years..!! The churchyards are all so peaceful, plus I was delighted when you had an EVP recently from Peter! So Thankyou for all you do, to bring us such a fascinating channel. Love to you both Helen xx🙋♀️🦋🦋👏🏻👏🏻
Wow! Brendan knows his stuff. If he is reading this Thank You Sir. If not if you get back there tell him thank you. Glad they have a roof over them. Going to watch again with my new glasses. Never would have seen the bugs without Brendan.❤️
Brendan should've been a history teacher, so much knowledge. Love to see, hear and read this type of history. Another great video. ♥️ From Boston (USA)
One of the most fascinating videos you've done to date! Brendan is a very knowledgeable man.The current Viscount Preston is married to Lucy Arabella Fox of the famous acting family of Foxes(Amelia Fox "Silent Witness" and Laurence Fox "Lewis"). Would be amazing to look inside that Preston vault! Lol! Well done.😊👍
I will save this video so much information I will also share it with many of my friends thank you for another great video and the valuable information you have shared with us again thank you stay safe Godspeed
I saw Michael Flatley (spelling) in River Dance here in CA and later his troupe with a similar show. Your guide was very information and a rapid talker. Thoroughly enjoyed this and those cadavers on the grave tops were eerie.
Beautiful self portrait by Lady Butler, and of the soldiers….such talent she was gifted with! ……as for the wives not being buried with their Viscount husbands, I’m sure they were glad of the rest! Honestly! Men! Lol. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love the video…what luck in meeting Brennan. He sure knows the history of the place. I had a little trouble keeping up with him, as he talks very fast. 😊 I love to see people that are so excited & interested in the history of places..
Thank you, what a fantastic informative video. My brother and I are descendent of the Preston's of Gormanston. In fact, my grandfather and father's name are listed as direct descendants. I have linked this and passed it along to my brother.
How Amazing! The Caretaker and Historian (Brendan, the male version of my name) is Incredible!! His knowledge is immense! Thank you for this amazing (again) video. What wonderful stories!! ❤❤
In a colonial graveyard in New England (USA) I saw a stone with a skull with worms coming out of its eyes. Kinda the same concept as this cadaver stone. So creepy and interesting!
Thank you for a really fascinating video, and special thanks to historian Brendan and his great knowledge, I'm very interested in old churches and graveyards/ cemeteries, I hope to visit this area in the future, thank you again
Thank you Gv heartfelt thanks 🙏🏼 Brendon lots of history , most of our surnames here in St Lucia I’m noticing is Irish ❤I’m definitely thinking about a trip to Ireland soon would be delighted to meet you and sue ❤
So unique. I’ve never seen anything like it. Thank you for sharing and for the history. I know there is a way to scan the graves and it won’t damage them but will be able to pick up all that is engraved in there. It would be interesting if that could be done
WOW THAT MAN WAS A WALKING HISTORY BOOK. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. GREAT JOB

This was a great find Grave👏🏻👍🏻. Brendon gave an excellent history tour! I am so glad you have all this information recorded for history. Again, thanks for this very interesting tour!
Did the lady get a chance to paint the deceased Indian people who were caught up in the English aggression?
I have no idea I'm sure you can Google it 👍 thanks for watching
@@GraveVisitations
Well, I would say she didnt get the chance, but the thing is the English soldiers here would have been depicted as heroes. Coming home from war with India, they had no right to be there in the first place. Indians not given a mention, heroes the English, I dont think so.
Incredibly fascinating post. All the history that Brendon knew really made the video. Wonderful gravestones.
Very interesting history Brenden has alit of knowledge of the cemetery love hearing about the history of cemeteries 😊

This was absolutely amazing and beautiful!Thanks.
I'm glad there is a roof of sorts over these cadaver monuments to reduce the effects of erosion. Brandon needs to write a book!
This was just wonderful 👏👏👏, so much history, and the amazing stories about the background 👍🇭🇲
Thankyou Brendon for sharing a piece of history , very interesting to watch ❤
