    Frederick Kempster is a distant relative. His grandfather & my great grandfather were brothers. Long story, but due to a death in the family just before my side of the family emigrated to Australia, Frederick's side decided to remain in England. Wonderful to see his grave. Thank you.

      It must be tended to albeit not much. If that was left unmolested for a few years the undergrowth would overwhelm the gravestones.

      @@skeggyyou may be right but you can't be sure of. that if the car park was not laid, they may have built on it and discovered the body. That was still one hell of a long shot finding Richard. It was long believed his bones were thrown into a nearby river. It was laid there for 500 yrs undisturbed and then a dopey archeologist put a trowel into his skull.

I have read about this gentleman, and I have read about the other man that was as tall as him in the 1920s. The tallest man I ever met was Manute Bol the basketball player, he lived in Kansas and so I saw him at the store I worked at. He was 7 ft 2, so looking forward to it thanks.

      When in went to high school, we had a basketball player at 7'3 walking down the the hallway his mid chest to his head. Popped up above everyone else.. he and his friend went out to a party and crashed his car into a cornfield and they didn't find them until corn harvest season began, almost 4 months later, they went airborne and no knocked down corn to suggest, I was going to do a video and post it on my page, but know it's just a road .

    Another great video Dan! That is amazing how tall the man was, his grave plot could fit two people, but it was just for him. I can’t help but feel kind of sorry for the guy though, as well as people in his same predicament. Where they had to earn a living by joining circuses, carnivals and I hate to say “freak shows”. Hell of a way to survive. Oh my shirt and decal is already on its way, should be here some time next week, but with the thanksgiving holiday, who knows. Take care brother

    I had never heard of this British giant, so thanks for doing a programme on him. Though the graveyard desperatly needs some work. As a teenager I grew up in a small village in Kent where the local farmer would herd his sheep into the grave yard in the springtime. Once there, the sheep would happily munch away at all the grass etc and kept the graveyard nice and trim. Perhaps they should follow suit in this Lancashire graveyard, though with some of the newer residents they now have there, the sheep might not be safe anymore.

    What an absolutely stunning and atmospheric cemetery... I know folks won't like the overgrown nature of it, but it's really beautiful in its own way. Probably my favourite that I've seen on your channel. The town I live in here in Canada has a really beautiful cemetery that is more maintained than this, but looks just as lovely in the autumn. This reminds me of what it might look like if they started to neglect the mowing. BTW, can we get a link to your merch store in the description or as a pinned comment?

    Most of these old cemeteries are unsafe, due to the fact the grounds were never properly designed for constant water irrigation drainage due to heavy rainfall. The constant rainfall means the graves become unstable and sink into the ground. If you was to step around certain graves the earth would most likely give way.

    Those headstones were works of art!! I’d like something like this verses what they sell now. I wonder how flat they are and what is it made off.. I wanted you to walk around the obelisks and steeples. I would like that, they’re on all continents and feel heavenly, church, God. I wanted to see the nude statue. When you come to statues, if the head is off, show where it’s broken.I like to try to figure out what things are made of. You could talk about energies? Your thoughts ? I wanted to ask if you tried calling someone to go take care of the cemetery?? You might get it taken care of.It needs to be kept up. It’s a beautiful place. Call the town Hall, Town Council. If you can walk totally around the grave. Show a bunch more, the older, and more ornate , or a beautiful stone… unique ones. Headstones, graves, Memorials, don’t look like that. Instead of walking down the road with the camera pointing straight aim at all that beautiful craftsmanship.You could do a 5 part series on this Cemetery . You could study this town and make a documentary. ❤ Seriously. If you’re near.. show the condition, and the beauty. You could get better cameras.. Grants

    This site is definitely neglected by the local council, what a shameful thing.

    I did a search and it appears he was 7 feet 9.3 inches tall. Astley Circus exaggerated his height. "Even though doctors were able to confirm that Frederick was seven foot nine, papers still claimed that he was more than eight foot tall".

      @@deadgoodwalks I have`nt been to hale for many years but i understood the thigh bone is in a glass case i the church,a house in the village is supposed to be where he lived with a small window he is supposed to put his feet out of when in bed because the room was`nt big enough the story is supposed to be true because there is records of him being King Charles the seconds wrestler in the late 1600s.

    Quite a wild one it reminds me of our very old one where I live. It's probably worst than that. I've only found out recently why graves face East...so they face the sun rising of a new day. Also its said to be for Christ's second coming. Everyday a school day !

      I agree, it's probably a funding issue like most places
