- Join me on a Sunday morning as I explore the graveyard of St Mary Magdalen Church in Mortlake and look for the tomb of Richard Burton which has a window in it!
St Mary Magdalen Roman Catholic Church, Mortlake, is a Roman Catholic church in North Worple Way, Mortlake, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The church is dedicated to Jesus' companion Mary Magdalene.
The church building, in Gothic Revival style, was designed by Gilbert Blount, architect to the first Archbishop of Westminster, Nicholas Wiseman, and dates from 1852.
The church's first parish priest, Fr John Wenham, was a convert from the Oxford Movement,[1] who had studied at Magdalen College, Oxford, and had been an Anglican army chaplain in Ceylon.
Mausoleum of Sir Richard and Lady Burton:
The cemetery includes a Grade II* listed tent-shaped mausoleum of Carrara marble and Forest of Dean stone,[13] containing the tombs of the Victorian explorer Sir Richard Burton (1821-1890) and his wife, Isabel, Lady Burton (née Arundell; 1831-1896), who designed it;[2] she also erected the memorial stained-glass window to Burton, which is next to the lady chapel in the church.
Comte de Vezlo Mausoleum:
The cemetery includes another mausoleum, commemorating the very young Comte de Vezlo, Guilaume Henri (1894-1901). A plaque near the mauseolum's entrance also commemorates his mother, Annette Rosamonde Blasio, the Comtesse de Vezlo, who died in 1938.
The architect is not known.
When you talked about Sir Richard Burton, silly me thought you meant the actor.😝🤪 What a pretty place, and the Bedouin Tent ⛺ was marvelous. I enjoyed the artifacts they both collected. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊.
One of the coolest tombs I have ever seen! Loved watching this! Very interesting to see how the coffins are often out in the open in the mausoleums and crypts over there, don't see that here.
Hi 539, it's gotta be up there as one of the best ever for it's uniqueness, Thanks for dropping by, looking forward to watching your videos!
have never seen a tomb designed as a tent before... very fitting for an explorer and his wife... quite unique
What an interesting tomb. I’m going to have to read about him now. I’d never heard of him before (ignorant Aussie 😂) thanks ❤
WOW. Never saw a marker that you could climb up to see inside of all their worldly treasures. Neat!
Very serene place, beautiful bird song and flowers, lovely walk, thanks 👍
I have NEVER seen anything like this mausoleum. It’s incredible. It’s even more incredible that there is a ladder for you to look in. I know this is from last year, but thank you for sharing!!! I loved this quiet walk with the birds and the roses……❤
Very beautiful and peaceful. Wow that man Mr. Burton was a genius.
Oh wow....this is one of the most beautiful settings for a graveyard....and that tent crypt! Amazing. Thanks Dan 🧡☮
Thanks Cathy, glad you enjoyed it
I'll watch this again in about an hour when I'm fully awake from my nap. 🤣 Looks quite interesting to say the least. Amazing cemetery.
Thanks Cathy, get yourself some more sleep lol
Beautiful cemetery. Loved the Burton mausoleum, absolutely amazing and unique.
Incredible tomb and monument
Oh, I would just love to get inside that tent mausoleum to dust and sweep. Not to move anything, just to tidy up a bit. It's so lovely and romantic.
I have a painting of Burton on my living room wall. I would have to say he is my hero of all time, read about him he will not disappoint I promise. Excellent video thank you.
Probably the most personable tomb Ive ever seen! Wow I had to rewatch just to stop it and take it all in! AMAZING!
I can't think of a more personable one thats for sure. Thanks for watching again 🤝
What an amazing tomb! Thanks for sharing this upload. 💙
Hey Solo, and thank you for watching
Beautiful! I love that you get views of the caskets. Caskets from certain time periods are just works of art and love seeing what they look like from different era's especially the cast iron one's that I've seen here in America just fascinating my friend and awesome video!

OMG! Never even heard of this monument before. Crazy amazing!

The tomb of the Burton's is amazing XXX .....just a wonderful peaceful place
Thank you so much for these wonderful videos. I paused at the Burton tomb to read the poetry by Justin McCarthy mounted on the exterior. It led me to read more about the poet and the pair buried here. Fascinating!
So respectful😊I smiled when you said you'd hit 300 subscribers,yesterday when I subscribed you had 7000, today you have over 9000, well done.
Wow the tomb is just beautiful and unbelievable. I’ve never seen anything quite like it x
Read about Burton, you will have never have read about such a man. He was truly one of a kind.
Just found you by accident I’m also a lover of old cemeteries as they hold so much Historical information
THANKS FOR SHARING! LOVE THE TOMBS
Thanks for watching!
I AM HOOKED ON TOURING OLD GRAVEYARDS,THE HEADSTONES,WOW!
Great video again, thanks. Lovely location . Glad to see you are getting more subscribers, you deserve them.
Thanks again.
Thanks Ian. Doing it for the passion but more subs is always good 👍🏻
Such a quaint peaceful cemetary, I enjoyed the tour. Thanx and God Bless
Thanks Deb!
That’s a very impressive mausoleum and mini museum. Shame we couldn’t see into the young counts mausoleum.
I am always intrigued by the artwork that goes into these mausoleums and grave markers. What is sad, however, is that so many of these graves are overgrown and forgotten. Makes me realize how much I do not want to be buried. Just cremate me and throw me into the sea 😂. I actually have my son’s ashes on my bedroom dresser so that I can visit him every day and night.
I'm a new fan, I love your tours of cemeteries.....I always walked cemeteries, here in America so seeing how different the ones are , that you share with us is, 👌 awesome, thanx
Most welcome x
So amazing ❤x
Thankyou very much for this most enjoyable well produced video, it was very interesting to see inside the tent crypt, and around the grave yard , the weather was beautiful and it was as if I was walking around the graveyard my self, I have just subscribed as I enjoyed your efforts so much all the best from Scotland 🏴
Thank you for subscribing TT! Good to have you here, you're very welcome. Much love to Scotland
All the bells,they thought they were coming back.👍
old cemeteries in the USA have Celtic crosses as well
What a beautiful graveyard
Sure is Wendy, so peaceful and then to see that tent tomb just topped it off
A very interesting visit well done and well done the Burtons for providing a glimpse into their life after death
I always love watching your videos, hoping for more to come. God bless ❤️
Thank you so much! Lots more to come. Really appreciate your views
@@deadgoodwalks appreciate that.. glad i have found your channel even im from the other side of the world, thanks and more power to DGW.
Liked this one. Tomb was unique
Beautiful video......
I'm not sure where the door is for access: apparently there used to be an electrical mechanism that made the temple bells tinkle as you walked inside. You can still see electrical wires, and I think the battery may have been in the black box you can see behind the coffin on the left-hand side. The wreaths under glass domes seem to be a feature of 19th century Welsh cemeteries, so I think they may have been sent by people in Wales.
Pretty cool never seen. Anything like that
Kind of weird how their Mausoleum is full of knick knacks. And who's lonely little grave was that hidden behind the tent and right up against the wall?
Wonderfull!
Hi from New Zealand🇳🇿Beautiful cemetery!
Love Sir Richard
I'm not certain he is much known in the US but his autobiography/bio by wife is wonderful
Hello..! I appreciate your job..! I'm french..and i Say ,.good trip 🌝🌚
Thank you Sir for posting this video. You have opened up a new area of study for me as I was previously unaware of the lives of the Burtons. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to viewing all that you have here and all to come. God bless - MB
Hi Marshal, thats brillant. Be sure to share any exciting findings with me. Thank you for subscribing
Very interesting that tent is extraordinary, it's a shame that in your tutorials that mausoleums & cemeteries in disrepair. A real shame.
Amazing 👏
Thank you Lady 😀
👏👏👏👏 wowwwww
Thanks for watching Morgana 👍
Very unique tomb
Hello, would you consider going to Limerick Ireland to find the cemetery where Frank McCourt's family are buried. That is his twin brothers.
Definitely a beautiful place. Very interesting video indeed, and the view inside the tent tomb was pretty clear, actually. But who was the poor bloke hidden away behind Sir Richard's tomb?
I thought the same thing Ron when I watched the video back, I didn’t even notice it when I was there sadly
@@deadgoodwalks Ah well. He must have already been there- can't imagine a family willingly parking their loved one in such a cut off spot like that. He's not only forgotten, but gets trodden on by the tent tomb visitors to boot.
But that's exactly the kind of thing that makes your videos so interesting- seeing odd bits like that and wondering how and why. Really great stuff. Looking forward to seeing more from you.
That was the first thing that occurred to me. I'm guessing it might have been one of their kids or a parent? Because that's pretty obviously a mausoleum Built for Two.
gorgeous 'tent mausoleum' but yet a noisy place! is it close to Heathrow Airport may be?
Yeah on the flight path
Would have liked to know more about the young count. What his story was ect...... Burton's tomb was a very interesting looking one.
Me too John, I didn’t even know he was there, I’ve still yet to research it
its only a thanks to you did i litraly spot a grave for 2 luptons at roundhay st johns when i visited recently how many times it was under me nose per visit i must have just ended up never noticing it
how cool is that mausoleum, such a clever man is the material, is tent a real canvas or like or is it concrete looking like a tent ?
Convincing isn't it, but it's a mix of carved stone and render
Beautiful setting. So much bird song. I like your respect and also your humour. I cant quite place your accent. Is it Yorkshire or Lancashire?
Ah yes there’s a fine line with graveyard humour lol. Always try to be respectful, they were once people just like us and one day we’ll be just like them
and yes mainly Yorkshire with a bit of London and Cheshire thrown in now and again
Wow. 3:53
Superb video!!!!! But whats the oldest grave you,ve ever found?
161 Guy
Upon Richard,s death, his widow Isabel burnt his massive collection of diaries, letters and manuscripts thus depriving history of a treasure trove of his life and times...
oh man thats the most rad crypt I have seen hahaha
The interior still shots would suggest that there is some sort of entrance to the mausoleum. Is it a subterranean access point, or is the "door" on the front of the structure functional? Perhaps those details have never been made public...? I'm just curious.
Its hidden in plain sight, the door comes off
@@deadgoodwalks I assumed as much. I hope the door is locked securely! Thank you for such an amazing video btw! Cheers! 😃
But who was buried directly behind the tent?!?!
Sorry to say he was a bit over looked, maybe he had an even more interesting life story. I’ll look into it one day
Why does no one keep this place up?
Forgot to throw in the man was very wealthy..think about the year he died,and the coin this box with a window you cant see through cost.....more than a home. 💯
Where is this
Location location location.. watched a lot of these videos now if you not on a path or in front with a stand out head stone your never seen!
After the secret window I see symbols of freemasonry ( the hanging hand)
