First, I absolutely love your accent. Second, I find these graveyards and cemeteries fascinating as well as beautiful. It's a pleasure to tag along with you. Thank you so much.
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I'm from the southern USA so you definitely have an accent and so do I. Your accent is amazing. Mine is annoying. Lol. Oh. Faces of the forgotten sent me here. I need to thank him.
Very interesting grave yard ,has a lot of history to it too.I should imagine some of the very old graves have been lost to time.The amount of building left of the Cathedral and the other pieces shows how amazing even with simple tools the workmanship was all those years ago for them to still be standing now..I wonder if a few of the local buildings are built using the stones from that too.That’s what happened throughout England in a lot of cases ,with both the Cathedrals and the old castles.The views too are beautiful from here too.It’s also nice to see a Church still there too and that the grave yard is nicely kept too..Thank you Sue for sharing your adventures with us I myself really appreciate it . Love n Light 🥰
All the castles in England were built with Irish oak.. even windsor when the fire happened in 1992 they wanted to keep the original features so ordered Irish oak..
Congratulations on reaching a well deserved 1,000 subscribers. I love the strength and intricacy of the raw stone walls & towers. They will continue to stand tall in memory of our brave ancestors.
What a BEAUTIFUL cemetery and Cathedral!! It's SOOOOOO lovely to see such a well-kept cemetery!! Father Murphy's story was VERY interesting too!! Congratulations on 1000 subscribers, my friend!! YOU TRULY DESERVE IT!! Take care, and stay safe everyone!! XXXX
Thank you so much I really enjoyed hearing about all the history of this Cathedral. The ruins were beautiful, I can imagine the building would have been amazing in its time. Much better than watching TV that's for sure. 💕🇦🇺
Hi Sue, this is very interesting. I remember learning about Fr Murphy and the Boolavouge song in school so it was nice to see his grave. So old and so much history there 💙
Hi Sue. I was told that a person dies twice in this world. The first, obvious. The second? When they are no longer remembered. I feel that every time I say a name or even think it, I have brought them back to life, even for a minute. I love this church yard. I liked those brass plates that were very readable. You are doing a very good job. I finally know what you look like. Green fingernails and a shadow with a camera. Love the sound of wind. It was 95 degrees (F) here today. Humid. Summer is here.
interesting cemetary, i know the song about Father Murphy, by Jim Mcann when he was with the Dubliners. Funny enough i own one of Luke kellys Banjos, the all metal merlin Banjo he had 2, again thanks so much for sharing xx
@@SerenitySueGraveyards very, took me along time to track down, and cost me probably too much, but its still played and his memory lives on via the banjo xx
Great video, Sue! I enjoy seeing old stonework and there's enough left of the abbey to appreciate. That row of windows in the chapter house is a masterpiece.
Thank you Sue for this tour. We were in Ferns in 2019 and visited this graveyard as it is where my great grandparents are buried. My grandmother’s name is Mary Lacey and my grandfather, Patrick but name not added to the headstone. We knew this graveyard was very historical but had such a short time there that all I had time to visit was Dermout’s grave site. Since our return to Canada, I have done a lot of research to understand what I saw - you have filled in some blank spots for me - thank you!
I'm always amazed by the age of them and then to subtract the age from date of death, what a different life they lived some lived to be good ages too ❤️🇮🇪🍀
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I can never thank you enough! If you ever come to the states you definitely have a place to stay. I open my home to you! I'm not Irish, it is brilliant to know where the names came from!!
Hi David that's a very old video, so didn't have a mic but I do now thankfully, oh the dreaded electric fence, have had the odd shock from them, ouch!! Thanks for watching, appreciate it
Hi John from WI. Even with the wind you always do a swell job. I never seen a Grave Stone that said I was Executed and part of my remains are buried here. It is really something that history comes right out of the ground as in Father Murphy case. From the rebellion in 1798 to a famous song to what all happened to him after captured I imagine that remaining parts were thrown into a ditch. Unless the local people which knew him (Father Murphy) buried them somewhere else. I sometime wish that every Grave Stone had a small brief history on every person buried there. Can you imagine the libraries across the country with all those personal accounts.
Thanks for the video! Diarmait MacMurrough and Donal Cavanough are my ancestors. Is there any knowledge of when the cross was broken, or where the rest of it is? Thanks!
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I finally backtraced to my 3Xgreat grandparents who are buried somewhere around Killarney although they lived closer to Tralee.. I need to do more research and hope to find them. (It's been 21 years since I last visited.)
Hello again sue if you go back to this cemetery today my grand father Leonard Poole is at rest here that is Edith’s son and Benjamin power is my great grandfather

Oh I know and unfortunately here we don't really have any set up like find a grave which makes it nearly impossible to find anyone ❤️🍀🇮🇪
Very awesome video Sue
Thanks so much Claudia ❤️🇮🇪🍀
Hello. Thank you very much for this. Please, please pray for us.
Always
This was very fascinating. I am so surprised many died before the great potatoe famine. Like time stands still.
It's amazing and their ages too some livedong lives
Wow Sue, this was a double treat! Very old legible headstones and breathtaking medieval ruins. Loved it all. Many thanks from Australia.
Hi, I loved it too ❤️🇮🇪🍀
Thanks for the video! Diarmait MacMurrough and Donal Cavanough are my ancestors. Is there any knowledge of when the cross was broken, or where the rest of it is? Thanks!
There's a better video here on my channel of this cemetery
Do you ever go to County Kerry?
I have been, was there last year in killarney
