- Cemetery Strolls, Episode 51. St Michael's Church, Betchworth, Surrey, England. This episode is from a beautiful village, in the Green Belt of the Surrey Hills. At the time of this going live. The church is under threat of closer, due to no one wanting to take on the job of Church Warden. So lets hope the church is saved, for it's history & the village.
We also discover some of the notable people laid to rest in this stunning churchyard. I Hope you enjoy this wonderful stroll with me.

Oh, wow! I know this church well! I visited a number of times some years ago to do research because one of my direct ancestors was buried in the churchyard almost 200 years ago. Sadly, their grave is unmarked. However, I never really studied the church itself, so it was wonderful to watch your video, Kev. I've never heard the organ before, either! I really hope the church doesn't close. There is simply too much history there for that to be allowed to happen. This was a very special tour for me to watch. Thanks, Kev. Great job! 👏👍🙂
Wow, Thank you muchly Andy for your lovely words. Surrey is always in my heart. I just had to visit the church, when I could. Just in case of the worst.
We are going to have to get together sometime. With both our knowledge of Surrey. I really appreciate your support Andy. 👍😊
Beautiful Kev ❤
Thank you muchly Lisa. This week is hopefully going to be better.
Hope you're enjoying your wonderful trip? ❤️
Take it easy Kev I know what a bad back is like. Nice day to sit in the garden and get the heat from the sun on your back. Cheers 👍
Another excellent video Kev 👍👍👍 well done to you 🫡
Many Thanks Jim. It's very much appreciated.
Hi old friend. That is a very impressive arched roof over the Litch Gate to enter the churchyard. Your doc has a strange coincidence on the theme of filming. Many years ago I spoke with a chap who worked on the film set of the film ''The Crow'' in which the actor Brandon Lee, the son of the martial artist Bruce Lee, was mortally wounded by the firing of a blank cartridge from a gun. Then there is the tragic death on the film set in the making of ''Rust'' under the same circumstances, by Alec Baldwin, But, Four Weddings and a Funeral, a great cast and comedy.
I have bookmarked this doc as I will eventually get to visit it, but I am up here in Glasgow for the next few weeks doing a few walks. Old proverb: Death smiles at all of us, the only thing we can do is smile back. Another little gem Kev. Cheers.
Hi old friend. Have a lovely time walking in beautiful Scotland. I visited there, as it's under threat of closing. Due to no one is willing to take on the Church Warden position.
Thank you muchly Sal.

Thank you muchly Mucker. I'm off work laid off with my back. So I'll be catching up with yours today my friend.
Hello Kev. I'm watching now. Have a great night
Thank you muchly. ❤️
Regarding the Goulburn plaques in the church: Henry Goulburn (1784 - 1856) was Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies from 1812 to 1821. A regional city in New South Wales is named after him. 🇦🇺
Wow, thank you muchly. I just couldn't find anything on them. 👍👏
The name Goulburn is distinctive. The city of that name is quite a prominent regional centre about 95km/59 miles northeast of Canberra on the main road from Sydney. 🦘
