My ancestors are from Haworth and were there at the same time as the Brontës . Rev. Patrick Brontë’s signature appears on many of our families baptism, marriage and burial records from that time. Also around that time Haworth was not the picturesque hamlet you see today, it had a very high mortality rate.
Wow! What a walk today. The stones and the history are fantastic! 2-300 years old. And some are still very legible. Slate perhaps. Slate stones last so long. They are easy to carve, and are long lasting. Great artistry. Thank you so much!
Patrick Brontë the father also campaigned tirelessly for reservoirs in the area & got that ball rolling, so it thanks to him that they were created as soon as they were, he too was great in his own way. I was amazed that nearly all those old grave stones were still standing, in most old graveyards many are wonky or completely fallen. I think that graveyard is maintained because it’s a tourist attraction, so hopefully the fallen one you saw will be stood up again soon.
Ivy is the enemy of tombstones....So is moss! .....I enjoy your history tours of cemeteries and graveyards.. these monuments to the dead are magnificent !!!
Memories of our visit to the Haworth Parsonage in 1976--and the only ghost photograph we ever took! Stayed upstairs at the Black Bull, too. Incredible site: thank you for bringing us back! 😉😉
How interesting! Beautiful grave markers, I enjoy reading the grave stones gives you a glimpse into the past and you have to admire the workmanship that went into craving these!
A gothic wonderland, i like the bit where the church bells ring. I first realised the beauty of these places after discovering Simon Marsdens photos. Sadly he died far too young. Glad to see you are documenting these often overlooked places of social history.
Love watching this from Australia. Am coming over next year for the first time to visit our still standing family home, Powderham Castle in Devon. We are descended from the Plantagenets and I can’t wait to be able to see our family history for myself. Old cemeteries are beautiful places. So much wonderful history in the UK which we do have here.
Absolutely loved the old church and the graveyard with all the old headstones I would love to go there my self I always go to Anne's grave in Scarborough she's buried in a beautiful spot in a very small graveyard loved the video 😊
Thanks for taking us here. It’s a shame to see it so untidy and full of dead leaves. Infant mortality was high during the 19th Century and the regular outbreaks of cholera in Haworth must have added significantly to it.
I'm a cemetery geek also. Beautiful stones, so close together. My ears perked up when you said Thomas Feather because that is my father's name but our last name is spelled Fether because of a family argument many years ago.
Never got a notification of your live till it was over. Not to fond of split screen. Usually if I can’t read something because you move to fast or don’t read or show a head stone 😅I’m interested in I freeze the frame and zoom in.
Love all of your videos and the historical piece that your share as well! And I appreciate the birdsong❤ I live in the Colorado Rockies, there not a lot of birds singing like that here.
Hi Dan ❤I've been there umpteen times , it's absolutely serene and beautiful , been to the museum ,,and visited the home , loved it ,,,im not that far from Haworth only about an hour ,, lovely tour Dan ❤️
Hi Dan. This was an interesting walk. Perhaps the owners of the vacant burial plots left the district so as not be victims the dreaded graveyard poisoning. Just a thought.
What a lovely, serene old boneyard, thank you for the tour. The thought of unwittingly drinking corpse water filtered through it is ghastly 😅 Sad that the talented Brontë sisters died prematurely, and that the poisoned water may have contributed to their poor health, although TB and in one case extreme morning sickness would do it, too...
There are many collapsed graves, the current cemetery is situated at the bottom of Penistone Hill. I used to live through Gagers Croft! I believe John Browns children’s grave is the one with the sleeping child. Did you find the grave of the highway man? Buried secretly by his friends in the graveyard behind the pub!
I looked up ( Googled ) John Rushworth, a lawyer, politician etc. I could not see the dates on the headstone so well, so it may not have been the same man. Very interesting history of John Rushworth regardless. I loved this walk and tour of the beautiful old church. Do you know if it is still an active church?
Lived at haworth all my life hope u dont mind me saying but your saying keighley wrong but u do make me giggle 😂 say it as keith - Ley great videos proud to live here ❤❤❤
The bronte sisters were truly appreciated by millions and still are to this very day 🙏 me being one of them. But the locals are happy to take tourist money but not tend our national treasures final resting places
Bronte is a place in Sicily which in Greek means "thunder" as in brontosaurus which means "thunder lizard".Being on the slopes of Mt Etna the name refers to the thunderous noise caused by volcanic eruptions. Admiral Nelson was made a "duke of Bronte" for saving the Neapolitan monarchy from the French. A suburb of Sydney, Australia is also called "Bronte:" in honor of Nelson. The estate remained in the hands of the nelson estate until quite recently. The family of the reverend bronte also changed their name to honor Nelson.
Do not feel bad about walking on graves. Ecclesiastes-King Solomon says the dead "know not anything" (they're unconscious) If one worried about stepping on a grave in this very occupied cemetery, no grave would ever be visited. Better to visit than to avoid it out of old superstitions.
My niece’s husband 43 just died. He needed a kidney transplant. At his grave side service my sister was like say oh I stepped on someone’s grave and then she looked at the marker and it was a neighbor man we grew up with our whole life. I just chuckled and told my sister that was him having her step there to tell her hey don’t walk off without saying hi to me, because he was a jokester and had a hardy laugh.
@@smorgasbroad1132 it is. He was the type of neighbor man he acted rough grumpy but it was a show. He had a German shepherd dog, I was about 8, couple of other neighbor kids we’re playing baseball. In the back field of our yard. The dog would not stop barking at us, he was behind a fence. So we thought it would be funny to put Baby Oral gel on a stick and throw it. Of course the dog went after it. The dog wallowed that stick then started drooling. He came out to see why we’re laughing, sees the dog drooling and making funny mouth movements. He was like alright kids what did you do to my dog Brutus? We kinda looked sheepish at him and I confessed we put baby oral gel on the stick and threw it and he went after it. We thought we were in big trouble, but no he started laughing, and laughing. Then shook his finger at us all and said I guess that’s one way to get him to stop barking. Then we all laughed, but then he said no more baby oral gel.
Visited Anne's grave at Scarborough. The hotel we were staying in was opposite the church. Her original stone is severely worn but a newer stone with the same inscription has been placed laid down on it. The original stone showed her wrong age.
I remember growing up in the 70s. Yes we had rain in the summer but not like we do today. Someone say. Didn't we have a lovely summer. What 2 weeks of it
If you place a torch flat on the stone and shine the light across the inscription more lettering will become visible. Your videos are very interesting…
I would like to point out Patrick bronte and his wife where born in what is now a small town in N.ireland called Rathfriland which is in county Down There is still, a bronte homeland there which is about forty miles outside Belfast .
Those small stones with name and underneath was written "owner" are those empty? Owners never buried there but owned the plot and left it there? Just curious. What an old site and probably haunted at night. Thanks for sharing ❤
Don't have to mention the word Haunted, Duh. Hanged for Sheep Stealing, and rightly so. By sound , it sounds as though the spirits welcomed the visit, indicated by the birds providing the background. Interesting looking and nicely done.
I wonder if you could point me to where info on the grave markers can be found, I always thought they were just what poor people put up, but no backing behind this thought. Edit. It is nice to see the old Yorkshire surnames appearing and traditional christian names too.

@@annette4444 yes both me and my father are DNA tested
I really enjoy my test too, I love finding ancestor s from long-ago & far away.
I saw a Parker from your long-ago home can't help but wonder if thas my long-ago family.
Nothing wrong with being a cemetery weirdo. I have been one since I was old enough to read tombstones. I just celebrated my 73rd birthday.
Wow! What a walk today. The stones and the history are fantastic! 2-300 years old. And some are still very legible. Slate perhaps. Slate stones last so long. They are easy to carve, and are long lasting. Great artistry. Thank you so much!

Another absolutely amazing tour. I'm always mesmerized by these ancient cemeteries. So much history.
What a lovely church ❤️
Enjoyed this walk so much , I'm a big fan of the Bronte sisters.

From the state of Kentucky USA nice job as always!
I am from KY also and Bronte obsessed. I would love to see this place on person...so drawn to Charlotte as if I knew her
These video are very emotional for me because I am a literature student. Please do a video on Sylvia Plath's grave in Heptonstall, England.
Thank you.
Some carvings on Gravestones can be more easily read if you shine a 🔦 at them at an angle. Needs to be bright and high quality.
The church is beautiful in side thank u💕💕💕💕
Nice place been few times. Also remember the school trip scene in Rita Sue Bob too
I think that's a very beautiful name, Charlotte. "Bronte" is kind of unusual but goes very well with the first name.
The church looks huge inside. Have been to Haworth numerous times but never entered the church.
Thanks!

Never be upset about stepping on a grave. Just be respectful. So many do NOT have stones. You are stepping on many, you just don’t know it.

Visited Anne's grave at Scarborough. The hotel we were staying in was opposite the church. Her original stone is severely worn but a newer stone with the same inscription has been placed laid down on it. The original stone showed her wrong age.
Suppose when you walk through cemetery's and see the old tombstones you start to wonder what each person was like when they were here
Its a shame they didn't bring Ann back to be buried with her family.

Are you not able to brush off the tombstones so you can read them better. Or carry a soft brush so you can brush them off?
I wouldn't dare brush them, I'm pretty sure some of them are only standing because the algae is holding hands

A cloth draped over any object depicted in a graveyard represents eternity. Graveyard fun fact.
