- The old church at Affane is an archetypal Board of First Fruits Church, built in 1819 to serve the Church of Ireland parishioners of the area around Affane and Villierstown. The Board of First Fruits was an institution set up to build and improve churches throughout Ireland in the 18th and early part of the 19th century, well over 700 churches were built or adapted during the board’s lifetime. Affane church has a very simple design with a single-bay three-stage entrance tower on its west side, it cost £500 to construct at the time. The graveyard that surrounds the church has a large number of attractive tombs, headstones and mausoleums, mostly dating from 1820 to 1920, indicating that there was a large Protestant community in the local area in the 18th and 19th century. Affane Church is certainly one of the most atmospheric ruins I have visited over the past number of years, amplified by nature’s relentless encroachment on the graves and markers of those now forgotten.

My first visit to affane graveyard

My Grand Mother told me we all die two times. The first is physical death and the second is when there is no one left who remembers and loves you. I think that is so true. RIP grandmother I miss and love you. she was 95 when she passed in 2020. ❤
Rest in peace to your grandmother 🙏❤️
😢❤
I know how she felt😢
God remembers every one, looks, mind every thing, name , for his day of the resurrection. Even atheists will get a second chance at life, death pays the price of sin. I loved my grand mother dearly too .❤🕊🕊
My grandmother passed 17 years ago and she will never be forgotten! Our family speaks of her daily ❤❤
Thank you! When I was a child I disciplined with horror stories. I became afraid of human remains. In my 30s I read every book on the subject that I thought was relevant and became comfortable around death after a few years. Death is inevitable and fascinating. I really liked the books embalmers wrote. I even worked in a funeral home by myself cleaning and painting for a week. I think our society makes us afraid because they hide it. I would bet that those that are bones and dust would not mind. "Take a good look, as I am you shall be". I think the dead have a great sense of humor.
I have been in archaeology for over 50 years. Treat all human and animals with respect. I think you have done that. Cee 💚💚💚☘☘☘
C thank you so much 🙏 I do respect all places I go and remember those forgotten
I love to see lots of trees growing in cemeteries; it's like watching new life rise up from the dead❤🌳🪦🌳 Greetings from Pennsylvania USA
A good way to put it
The Royal Scots (The Royal Regiment), once known as the Royal Regiment of Foot, was the oldest and most senior infantry regiment of the line of the British Army, having been raised in 1633 during the reign of Charles I of Scotland.
Great graveyard! If that was a leg bone, it was from a tall person. Time and Mother Nature covers all. Thanks so much for the tour!!💕
Thanks for watching liz
At minute 18:21 it sounds like you hear somebody say yes or yeah? After he talks about the trees overgrown. take a listen and tell me what you hear?
I listened as well @ 18:20 and it sounded like "Yeah" from a low throaty dis-embodied voice, you have excellent hearing...👍
I was on the live chat, but I had to watch it again because I was at a restaurant and couldn't fully watch it. I must say, this is probably one of the most interesting graveyards so far and I'm glad you returned. The part I like best is the older area that had all of the wrought iron railings, that was very cool! The carving on some of those headstones is so detailed and amazing that they have held up so well over time. And also, I like bones (yes, I'm a little odd) I think I've mentioned before to either you or Sue that I'm a physical therapist asst. and I have 20 years experience with bones...and, yes, those were femur bones in the one crypt, and I also saw part of a pelvic bone. AWESOME VIDEO GV!!!
Wow thanks for the information Rebecca glad you liked the video
Yep, It goes to show you no matter what you do to keep things nice that mother nature eventually claims it in time. Great video!
Hi GV and Sue. Glad you went back. They really need to seal that tomb up before scavenging animals do more damage, take bones away. Also seal the top to keep more water from entering. Sad but also creepy! May they All RIP. 👼💚
🙏
Mother nature reclaiming her children in a secretive grave yard . Really beautiful video GV so much to see that had been hidden . Thank you so much for taking me along x
I completely understand what people mean by disrespectful but it's total history. And going to these places keeps their memory alive and gives meaning to their lives before ours. I want tons of people to come and visit me! And if you can see my remains...I'll have no bones about it! Great job again. Going to find more cool vids!
Excellent video, respectfully done. The graveyards you visit are so peaceful -- perfect resting places for past generations.
Thanks John
I love graveyards like this one... thanks GV for the walk about
Absolutely loved this video all those poor souls in that Tonepau cemetery what a hard life they must have had xxx
Another great walk GV,sad to see the cemetery the way it is but very interesting the headstones .how they were made indicates the quality and expertise of the craftsmen of the time.You both continue to amaze .Obviously the crypt is in a bad state still May they all Rest In Peace.
Ok,everyone nite,pleasent dreams from ballarat in Oz,Takecare,stay safe,god bless,😴😴👏👏🙏🙏🇦🇺
Nite Peter thanks for watching 👍🙏🇮🇪
You do a great job showing the reality of what happens over time to the departed. Nature always reclaims what is hers.
Thank you for watching 🙏
Very nice video! Hopefully they will remove more trees before they destroy more historic markers. The witch hunter was interesting also. There are witches among us except they are now called " Karen's ". Lol! 😊👍🙏
Such a shame that nobody would want to keep a burial place tidy for the peoples whos remains are there, they don't make headstones like that now a days, love watching your videos, so sad how the way the graves are just left 🙏🙏🙏🌹💔😪😪
Great walk through . Have a listen @ 13:44 when you meantion Valentine . There is audio sounds like evp. G’day from Australia 🇦🇺🐻❄️
Hi blueeyes I will check thank you
@@GraveVisitations I can hear a woman shouting too GV…..good capture! 👏🏻👏🏻Well done Blue Eyes! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Sounds like she is saying , I can’t do this anymore.
I caught that as well. Backed it up to be sure. Static at 14:50. Interesting.
Gr8 work *blue eyes*, I listened to that part of the video several times wearing my Sony mdr-7506 noise cancelling headphones and to me a voice could be heard softly & clearly saying "I can't... go on", kudos & respect to you from another avid Aussie subscriber👍
Hi guys Tricia here from Manchester England, so sad to see at times. However very important & interesting the journey you both walk together. Much love keep going time's are hard for many, but in many we become grater for good. ❤ love Tricia xx
Hi Tricia thanks for watching us 🙏
Wonderful job GV. So many old headstones, some of the names are gone for the ages and only known to God, Thanks for sharing. God Bless!!!
I'll be stone cold dead, but part of me finds great peace at the thought of being buried in a place like this.
It is a beautiful place and peaceful
What you said about remember all the people in those graveyards, that's why I'm watching all your videos, you make the difference. Thank you for what you do. Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱.
Thank you for watching I love what I do
Valentine married Ruth Godolphin, the family who imported the famous line of Godolphin Arabians- whom all our thoroughbred racehorses are descended from. The Godolphin family also married Churchills- and I am sure that is familiar to all. His wife was of more historical importance than he, and her name never mentioned.
Those tall pink flowers are Purple Loosetrife. Tinctures of which are said to be a calmative and ease grief. The bulbs were planted on purpose at one time and they spread throughout the fenced area. In actuality tinctures of loosestrife have vitamin C, so good for scurvy.
Interesting I've heard of godolphin group
I here the Birds also. What kind of Birds are they. That's Amazing, the Birds
Super interesting ! What a great place. So happy you returned. Loved it 😍
Thanks Linda ❤️
Old and overgrown but you got through it all. Good stories and beautiful gravestones. Thanx GV....❤😊❤😊
what a lovely old graveyard. The large long bones are femurs (thigh bones). You treat everything with great respect. Thank you.
Thanks Archy
You have a wonderful way of explaining grave sites. I enjoy watching your videos.
Thanks I try haha
The Royal regiment of foot, i think would be a british regiment sent to Ireland on usual duties, and lost a comrade and had the soldier buried there, a very interesting find.
Thanks Tom I found this one interesting also 1800's
Carew! We’re Carey and derivations were commonplace. Excellent work sir !!
Thank you
@@GraveVisitations we love your channel good sir we’re in Australia and explore graveyards here on our channel but not like you. Where you go in Ireland is just stunning. Love these old graveyards. Keep up the good work sir !!!
I just accidently found your channel and subscribed as soon as watched it. Thank you for taking us to such a beautiful, peaceful place. I love to walk around old graveyards and wonder what the people buried there would have been like. I especially love the old church. It's sad when churches are no longer used for worship.
Hi Joan thank you for watching and subscribing 🙏 you will love my adventures
Hi Sue so glad when you join in. Wow old graves yes so sad. I can't lie seeing coffins is sorta creepy. Bones too make me uneasy. But i watch to learn.
It's sad they don't fix them up really 💔
It’s not being disrespectful looking in the slightest , you haven’t disturbed the remains your very responsible and respectful in everything you present. Graveyards hold so much social history and genealogical information it’s humbling coming across your distant grandparents for example and realising what they lived through in order for you to be standing there.
Very true sue thank you for the lovely comment
I missed it last night but watching now the grave yard looks so spooky with the trees ariound, thank you I am enjoying the tour. 👏👏
Another great video thanks for sharing. And God Bless grave visitations ☺
love to se the birds get some food, so kind..
Blessings and Hello! here from the U.S.A, I am always intrigued, interested and enlightened by your searches, findings and facts of Churches, Chapels and resting places of Ireland's deseased. So we'll done, as if I'm there traveling and discovering along in your presence. This episode particularly interested and moved me. Those poor forgotten in death, neglected, abandoned, without names, dates, or only rocks for markers; it's saddening yet a bit hopeful, and I'll mention why.
Perhaps it's possible to gather area volunteers and include a Director of the grounds, to clear this graveyard of the numerous trees, underbrush and ground cover to save the memorials from further damages and dislocation, uncover hidden, undiscovered burials and to recover the burial ground's landscape as close as it would have been ages ago, or at best, up to present day respect, dignity and standards. It's so saddening to see such neglect and abject forgotteness of those from that area in Ireland and the lives and times they had and endured there, as a life spent or sacrificed. The ruins of the Church should be supported from further ruination, clearing the overgrowth there too. It's worthy of designation and the distinction of being a historic and culturally significant landmark of Irish faith, worship and a mortal remains resting place. May this come to be, and so, inspired by this episode I penned:
May a blessing come, May this be done, For sake of ages past, In wake of Time to last, For those of God once begotten, Souls and mem'ries ne'er forgotten; By earth and ether comes life's demise, As death and angels close our eyes, Reflect your own, This path to follow, Those before and after, Leave mortal trails of sorrow, yet-The Word doth promise fairer fields of joy, As true to heart, Your faith employ, From all your cares, Sweet rest you'll find, En-earthed, in heaven, by love divine, Of mound or mark, Then all is hushed, Lain aside, as ashe and dust. . . .
A blessing come, may this be done, For sake of ages now or past, In wake of Time at last, For those of Christ, alike in vision, Tombs known or unknown, each called "Be 'Risen!" Lo-Into sacred yards enter, be still as you go, Hear yet an other stillness, all shall come to know, Stay awhile and know their rest, Gently pause and reverence death, Acquaint a moment with life's deceased, pray- Stay awhile and know their peace, An Holy peace, as savèd souls unfettered! Christ's blessèd peace eternal now, in life as in death, The Savior Divine and Interceptor. . . .

Very nice video. Thank you GV. Blessings , Kathy.
Glad you enjoyed it
The long bone looks like the femur. Strongest bone in the body. Loved watching this. Thank you.
Liked on the way in👍I soo appreciate the respect ✊ you show as walk Around and tell stories 👏✊
Great video!!! Live these super old cemeteries that time has started reclaiming!
I just had to say... I absolutely LOVE the way you pronounce "Bone" and "Old Coffin"! Thank you for the videos and documenting history!!
OK 🤔😂
Yes I love the History and these places and too know who they are
The army service corps, where mostly for the older, unfit bad eyesight men, to drive dig trenches and more menial tasks, but often had very high casualties, he would have died of wounds, being buried local.
Interesting thanks Tom
Thank you for the tour!
Hello I'm in Canada and I'm so glad I found you.
You do a great job showing us everything and I agree it's history and you make it so interesting to see. You do such a good job..
Thank you for watching and subscribing if you haven't already ❤️ lots of people from Canada on my channel and a great group of people here.
God bless all the men and women buried there. I pray that someday someone will clear and clean it so perpetual light may shine upon them. RIP
Wonderful video. Thanks for your time and information on this interesting graveyard. It is not offensive to me at all. I remember walking into the Houston, Texas museum and not even 40 feet inside and my daughter is telling me there is a dead man in the room with her stepfather. Well it was a Mummy. You could see parts 9f the body even his missing toe. I was not amused at all about my daughter's nightmare that very night. Now to me Mummy's are intrusive. They have been removed from where they were interred. When you show something it is done with respect. You do not remove anything. I will keep on watching.
Thank you for the tour of this wonderful old grave yard. Looking into vaults and crypts is not disrespectful. You do your video's in a very respectful way.
Thanks Barry I do like to remember the forgotten and its all part of learning about death etc
I had my earphones on and at the 18:22 mark I could swear I heard a spirit say "get out".
Maybe someone else can listen at that point mark and see if they hear the same thing.
Every so often I hear voices on GV's video's...
Perhaps the daughter of Valentine 13:44 could be the daughter of Valentine Greatrakes 31:52 or another Valentine of the same family. On the daughter's grave her surname and Valentine's could be Greatrakes (both incomplete).
That top from the tabletops looks like maybe grave robbers were there. There were some very interesting graves. The bottles with the caps in tact was really interesting too.
Where's the famines victims buried i heard mass grave under st james hospital
I know you mentioned those two ladies graves were overgrown, but those sure we're beautiful flowers! Great video, yet again!
Thanks Rhonda it is full of history this old graveyard
the top of tombs being not on top of the tombs, could it not be grave robbers or maybe even earth quakes or tremors, but the reason I think not, is the tomb stone lids are not broken but placed besides the grave, which makes me think maybe grave robbers or something like that. They took the top off thinking the coffin would be inside the tomb, but they might not have realized the coffin is below the tomb chest buried at about 2 meters. They probably did that, as opportunists thinking it was going to be easy pickings. It is strange how most of the deaths are the late 1800's, maybe most of them died of the famine or other illnesses?
It is strange whatever moved them because they are really heavy. 😬
The grounds of Affane Old Church of Ireland, as seen from above, appears to be woodland and the video shows "Yew", "Sycamore"* and "Common Laurel" to be the main components of the 'woodland'. The multi-stem evergreen shrub "Common Laurel" or "Cherry Laurel" (Prunus laurocerasus), was introduced to the British Isles in about 1576 and is now naturalised throughout the UK and Ireland. The cherry like fruit of the "Common Laurel" germinate freely and grow in almost any soil except shallow, chalk soils. The video shows that attempts are being made in the churchyard to manage the growth of laurels and self-set trees, by cutting them to ground level. I would assume that this work is being carried out by volunteers, in favour of returning the grounds to a wildflower meadow with mown grass paths. Given the isolated rural location of the church and lack of facilities, it is commendable to get folks to carry out such unpaid conservation works. The churchyard doubtless serves today as a wildlife conservation area and may be utilized as an area to teach conservation and woodland skills. Obviously the clearance of the laurels and self-set trees impacting on memorials is a priority when working to a Conservation Management Plan. Cleaning privately owned headstones and monuments is another issue best left to those with the requisite conservation skills, as the soft stone of some monuments and inscriptions thereon could easily be damaged by the application of inappropriate methods. [Note* Those viewing the video from the US, should understand that invasive "Sycamore" (Acer pseudoplatanus) is a maple and not to be confused with the "Buttonwood" or "American Sycamore" (Platanus occidentalis), which is a difficult tree to cultivate and establish in the UK and Ireland.]
Да были времена,сколько женщин умертвили,так называемые,ведьмы',я не верю в ведьм и колдунов, для чего это было сделано,мне кажется чтобы люди больше уверовали,чтобы люди боялись их.Спасибо большое вам за ваши путешествия, я уже несколько дней вас смотрю,у вас такая интонация голоса,прямо завораживает,интересно посмотреть другую культуру захоронения, поняла так кто богатый в сундуках хоронили,бедные в землю,может ошибаюсь.
Always so interesting looking forward so much
Thanks Mary
I love this to I am happy see this and I thank you. It's like I am there also. Very cool.
Glad you enjoyed it
Your voice be so soothing. Thank you for sharing this video and narrating it
So nice of you thank you for watching
Amazing video beautiful old grave yard
What an interesting video of the beautiful old church and the hidden graves! Love your channel.
One of my favourite locations here
👋 hi U and Sue and all I Liked on the way in… Such a amazing place.. due to my RA and fingers not up to live chats my healing time seems sooo long (( But I miss your chats and walk arounds)) Miss all the folks in the group 💁🏻♀️🥰✌🏻💯)) now to catch up on video.. giggles 🤭 In support 🪶✊🥰. I brought 🔦
Get well and we will love to see you again ❤️
Thanks so much✌🏻
regarding the fallen tops, I have an idea about that. what I'm thinking is freezing water combined with wind and uneven settling causes them to slip off. you may or may not be familiar with the desert traveling stones that leave trails for no apparent reason. there is a reason, and it has to do with water ice and wind. I suspect something like that here.
I’m thinking that the crumpled coffin in the crypt probably got filled with water and the weight made it crumple like that
I wonder how many of those trees sprouted from bodies? From life to life.
There is a lot of history in old cemetery's. That is how I found my relatives in America and I found that my grandparents came from Ireland(Wheelers) France(Perry's) Germany(Batzel's) and also Britain. It goes back to the 1600's. That one you found the couple who both passed in 1939 do you think they died together in a tragic accident or disease? We honor our dead and they should be remembered. I love that old church. Many people attended that church back then and probably buried there.
I'm not sure about the couple tbh but this place is an amazing graveyard and church with so much history. Those trees make it feel so serene
This was such an interesting and informative video
Great video!
I think the chest tomb tops come off because of people moving them (for unknown reasons). For the crypt of Catherine Clarke I wonder what happened to the casket or was her body just wrapped in a shroud? Sad that she died so young!
The view of the crypt at the end was fascinating. Sad to see water infiltration damaging the coffins. Thank you!
Shroud burials happened back then. Looks like the case here
AMAZING LOCATION AND STONES GV 👌
❤ thank you for the history but this too will be gone very sad.
Great adventure thanks.
So sad 😞 to neglect these tombs and the areas where these people are buried. The city should have them cleaned and maintained.
Hi carole absolutely it's an ongoing situation here unfortunately
@@GraveVisitations how do you plan to organize this? This issue seems to be common in the South and it is a serious 🧐 problem. I would like to join you, please let me know. Who is the Mayor of this town? My goodness!!!! There is a group of people who mow lawns for free. Not sure if they would want to do a cemetery and in case they would agree these remain will have to be picked up and the tombs recemented and power washed . Christ have mercy!!!!
Thank you ,greetings from the Netherlands!
Hi Elizabeth from Ireland 🇮🇪👋

Amazing cemetery
👍👍
Around 18:20 I thought I heard a voice saying something, There is a whisper at around 37:58 - I can't tell if it's you or not, or what it's saying, but there's definitely something there
Probably another spirit as always
It is NOT disrespectful to show bones...keep up the great videos we ARE grateful for youalls work
Thanks Gary
The twisted trees are very cool. Do you know what type of tree they are?
No idea I'm not great with trees ha I only know yew tress are in cemeteries alot
Hi I came across this channel by accident and find it very interesting as all my family mother and father uncles and aunts came from Dublin 1800 too 1940 you read surnames of Dean my mother was a surname was Deans she was born in 1916 my father surname was Maguire he was born in 1903 my parents were both born in Dublin l have subscribed to your channel I live in UK

Hi I love your videos! Just wondering about the chest tombs … are the remains underneath in the ground or are they in the tombs themselves?
Hi 👋 the remains are under ground
Bern watching every time
It's a shame that it got that grown up. YT channels that do clean ups have a LOT of subs and get $$$. People love to watch the clean ups/restorations.
I've tried to get cemeteries and graveyards cleaned up but they don't respond here in Ireland or care.
@@GraveVisitations That's so sad. :(
Thanks!

Good to see u be careful 💕💕💕💕💕
Yes, thank you
I wonder why the coffins were put sideways in that crypt instead of on the shelves along the side.
They look all wrong disturbed
Thomas Hayes really gave himself props for erecting his mother Johannas', grave stone. It said as much about him, as it did about her!😂
Thanks
