    I dont know if you ignored what you seen in this episode but the fist leather covered coffin tomb you looked into the left door. Then you panned to the right door and if you look at the top right hand corner of the screen you can see a hand hanging out of the coffin

    Considering the age of this cemetery, it seems to have held up pretty well throughout the years.
    It's sad that some cemeteries wind up being forgotten about and lack the maintenance that they deserve.
    Still a beautiful cemetery indeed. It's great to see so much greenery everywhere you look, where I live (desert) not so much. Thanks for stroll. 👍

    The mausoleum u passed at for A. P. Argenti. His name is Pandeli Ambrose Argenti n he was only 31-32 years old at the time of his passing. He died on a holiday the USA celebrates honoring our independance, 4 Jul 1885. So young he was.
    The grave stone with the ship on it belonging to Pandelis, Ariadne Pandelis, its the grave of a woman 70-71 yo. She is the wife of Basil Pandelis. I wonder where he is buried? Seems back in the day a husband n wife were buried together.

      Have been to this cemetery several times in the past few years. The city has not done anything to restore this cemetery. The roots from the trees have caused the coffens to surface and rise. The headstones have crumbled and so much vandalizing. The city does not care about the cemetery. They say that it's to costly to repair. They say that it be cheaper to bulldoze everything.

    My great parents, and my cremated grandmother on top, r buried in East Grinstead, at a cemetery called Mount Noddie. I went to visit in May as I had the rare chance while taking my niece to a diving competition (I live in Southampton so when asked to drive to Tunbridge Wells, I had to make a road trip! Lol!) Well, I knew the ground had subsided, that burials were banned in most of the plots now, and it was wild as even walking with a hand strimmer is dangerous, and bodies had been seen thru broken graves, but nothing prepared me for the guy seemingly looking at me thru the huge gash in the side of his tomb! I told the groundsman after sending my daughter and niece to the car where my sil was waiting (didn't show them that's for sure!) And he said yeah, we get a lot of that here but it's so old we can't do anymore than patch and kids had removed the boards so was waiting for permission to seal or replace the stone. Luckily as I'm here, I am OK with it, but I told my dad (his mum and grandparents) and he had stories from 30yrs ago when my nan went in! Glad to see this place is getting some tlc tho, old churches and grave yards r so beautiful, but most people don't take the time to look.

    It hurts to see a cemetery in such state, but at least they are working to restore it.

    Another amazing cemetery with fascinating architecture. And I must confess, I love when you peer inside the mausoleums with your camera lens. The leather coffin coverings are unique, are they not? Some of my maternal London ancestors are buried in Norwood Cemetery: Lambeth. Others in Nunhead - Linden Grove, Southwark, Surrey. I kept hoping you’d visit the non-Greek area and perhaps capture my ancestors’ graves. I can’t be certain I will make it back to London again. Many thanks for a wonderful tour and narration.

    Please visit the Beckenham Crematorium and Cemetery - go to the Victorian section where Thomas Crapper is buried. I was there recently, and it is very very eerie. The reason for this feeling is that it is so overly neglected, that the graves have risen because of age, and have exposed within.

    Internments are so different around the world. I’m from Chicago Illinois and the mausoleums look much like these but one difference I notice from the UK is the inside of the mausoleums look more like basement storage. In the US the mausoleums have all of the coffins in closed in the wall and the insides are usually all marble and kept reasonably clean because the doors have glass and metal decoration. I don’t understand why the coffins are kept exposed. Do family come and open them from time to time?

    Sometimes it's stranger see other cemeteries compared to the United States cemeteries we keep our cemeteries cut mode and and good condition is sometimes really weird to see others from other countries that are overgrown and that kept up I'm glad they're restoring the cemetery it looks like very interesting place to visit

    • @michaeldillon3113

      Some of these places will be overgrown through neglect but in the UK there is much more of a movement to keep places wild in order to encourage wildlife . We have to do this because we are the least biodiverse nation in the G20 . Most churchyards now have a wildflower patch and the grass is mown in a way that encourages wildlife .✌️

    Beautiful, historical cemetery, I hope all of the mausoleums will be restored, and glass repaired or replaced. The cemeteries here in US aren't nearly as awesome as your cemeteries there. Although there are beautiful, historical ones here. Serenity Sue there in England has a great channel, she tours the old cemeteries too. Thanks for the tour, loved it. Have a great weekend. 😊

    3:55 I can make out the date 1696 on that crooked cross.....which is awesome! I live in Indiana in the US, and I have seen gravestones with dates from the 1700's (late....around where I live, the oldest is usually the civil war), but NEVER from the 1600's.
    I suppose that living amongst all of that history makes you sort of immune to its "charm", maybe?

    • @jc441-i3q

      Graves from the 1600's are still pretty rare even in Britain. The ones inside churches or cathedrals are usually intact but outdoor ones are much harder to find. My local church published a little pamphlet with information about the people buried there (mostly from the 1800's) who would otherwise be anonymous and forgotten.
