Wow! What an amazing mausoleum. The marble sculpture of Robert is just perfection. Their story is incredible and it's a privilege to have seen their decorated lead coffins. The setting is a perfect picture of the 40 shades of green. What a shame that anybody would vandalize a resting place. Thanks Sue.
My thanks to you for sharing this with us, and my thanks and gratitude to whoever granted you access to the inside of that beautiful mausoleum! I just love it when the average people like us are granted a little peak “behind the scenes”, as it were. ❤️
Wow that was a special place, And the lead coffins also. The Victorians took death so seriously and this one is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing Sue xxx
What an amazing place. The sculpture is so well detailed even down to the slight folds of the pillow. The stained glass windows are beautiful. Most stately homes use a special area or room to store their food such as fruit and vegetables under ground in their cellars. But a few places still have an Ice house to hang meat or store game. I found this very interesting. Would have loved to have seen the house, it would probably have had a small private Chapel in it. Thank you Sue, loved the history of the family. 💕🇦🇺
Thanks Liz, I was told house is lived in and out of bounds unfortunately, the sculpture is amazing, it looked like a white fleece blanket it was so real looking 🇮🇪🍀❤️
Absolutely gorgeous! The detail in the sculpture is amazing. The stained glass windows are beautiful, so is the altar. I loved the drive in the rain and the walk in the woods, felt like I was really there. Thanks for sharing
A fantastic find, especially liked those lead coffins. At that last crypt I felt like I was looking into the prison cell of Edmond Dantès in the Château d'If prison (from the Count of Monte Christo). Very nice Production.
Iv fallen in love with the woods. I could spend all day there. The mausoleum is just glorious and all the history. Thank u for another wonderful video💙
Amazing. That grand building, the beautiful sculpture and all that marble and stained glass, and there they lie in the basement. There's plenty of room for more people in there, and I can't help but wonder why such a grand tomb for just the two of them. Thanks Sue for brining this to us. Slainte`!
Those woods were just ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, and as for the mausoleum, what a STUNNING building!! How on earth did you manage to get the key, Sue??!! Did you have to get special permission??!! This video is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!! Take care and stay safe everyone!! XXXX
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Wow!! VERY impressive, Sue!! Hercule Poirot, eat your heart out!! Miss Marple, best retire!! Serenity Sue is the new master detective extrodinaire!! XXXX
The mausoleum is massive. I wasn't expecting to see a sculpture when you first walked in it's like a chapel. There's plenty of room for others I'm surprised there were only two other burials in there. The grounds by the ice house were beautiful. Thank you so much this vlog was so interesting.
The woods around are beautiful but inside the musaliam was just amazing the workmanship that went into it, and the lead coffins ⚰ especially the daughters who got the beautiful bow on it, stunning 😍 I love when you can get right in to look, I can't understand people who destroy the likes of this beautiful place
Stunning tour of the Mausoleum. The marble scupltures, stained glass windows and steps are amazing and trees surrounding the area are beautiful and make you wish you could step back in time to view the place when it was originally built. Thanks again for taking the time to share as we really appreciate it.
@@SerenitySueGraveyards After some research I found the wife Sophia! She was a Russian heiress who wanted to escape her overbearing mother. They quickly married in 1863, had their daughter a year later, then a few years after that the marriage went sour. Sophia died in Russia in 1901, so I presume she is buried there somewhere.
This was stunning, Sue. I loved the delicate intricacy of the stained glass windows. Beautiful workmanship throughout. And such a rich family history! Thank you.
Sue…thank you for seeking places such as this. Such beauty. The carved effigy is stunning (excuse me for borrowing your words), I don’t really have any of my own. The craftsmanship and artistry is amazing. This mausoleum goes from one breath catcher to another. She must have loved her father very much and I bet she was quite an interesting lady herself! Your information of the family and history was much appreciated and just added to the beauty of this eternal oasis. Each of your videos is an interesting and historical perspective of Irish souls. God bless. 🙏
Hi Sue. Such a beautiful mausoleum that is !! I am so glad you told me which video to look for. It always amazes me how someone can carve statues, etc and also to carve in one's likeness. That's mind boggling !!! It's nice to have the history to go along with your vids. Take care, stay safe and God bless my friend. 👍🏻❤🙏
That was gorgeous and fascinating! I am impressed that you were able to go into the mausoleum! Too bad someone does not clean it up. Beautiful video Sue!!
How lucky ,we get to see inside.And Wow! It was absolutely gorgeous inside too.the carving is exquisite ,so perfectly done .Because it is so protected from the elements ,and peoples fingers it remains in almost pristine condition.I cannot believe some idiots broke in.No doubt thinking there was valuables inside there..They probably did not realise what it was as it does look a bit like a small Keep (these were usually where the family resided ,the most defended part of the castle once the walls were compromised as usually a lot of people would flee into the main rooms as well from the surrounding village.Hence the word Keep It was the last stand for protection for the family and village ).. The ice house is incredible a lot got filled in because they were deep into the ground.Basically it was a large cave they stored things like cheese,butter and fruits and vegetables and meat too as well as some drinks .We have a fairly short season in the U.K. and as the house ( Sue never mentioned could have been large ,they would have had to feed a large staff as well as the family.Also it was normal for high up families to entertain a lot and even receive Royalty at times too.So it was very important to have an ice house.I have included this to help explain things to people who live outside Ireland and the U.K. as we had those at the large houses too..So I hope this helps answer and paints a picture for you ..Thank you Sue this was amazing today .It certainly was a great adventure and I am thrilled we got to see inside too..Love n Light 🥰
This for sure is one of my favourites how beautiful is the area and then this castle like mausoleum, the lead coffin with the bow on it, just amazing 🥰
Hey Sue, another great video. The mausoleum was fascinating enough from the outside, then to open the door and see the white sculpture firsrt thing, just inside the door blows you away. Such care and details (over the doorways etc), its all so impressive. In addition, its always very moving to see the coffins of those resting here a well. What lives both father and daughter led. Im sure we all felt appreciative and thankful to be able to see scenes inside such a quiet place as this (how did you get the key, btw?) The icehouse was interesting too, and even the forset setting just added to everything. What a beautiful lush green landscape with towering trees, im glad you added the little scenes of this at the end too, very cool. Thankx again! :)
Hi John, I googled, facbooked, messaged and eventually found someone who knew the keyholder, they got me the contact number and I rang him, I drove nearly 5 hours to get it ❤️ so so worth it 🇮🇪❤️🍀
@@SerenitySueGraveyards 5 hours?! Wow!! Thanks so much for doing this! Just seeing the outside wouldve been impressive enough, but venturing imside definitely felt like we were given a special priveledge that not mamy have had. Thsnkx again! :)
Hi Sue. I find your videos very entertaining as well as packed full of information! You are very respectful at the places you visit. That means so much to me!! Thank you for all your hard work!! Stay safe and well Sue.
Hi Sue. You find the most amazing places. You don’t see these type of cemeteries here in New York. Maybe just a handful. So beautiful and so done differently in Europe. Thankyou for sharing your wonderful explores.
Oh my this one is this my favourite, not only is the mausoleum beautiful but the effigy of Mr French was life like, his blanket looked so real..even the coffin beneath was so beautiful with its red bow, just amazing work ♥️
Oh yes Rezal, another one I'll never forget. The effigy was gorgeous, I remember looking at the blanket and touching it, it looked so real, then to go downstairs to see those coffins, amazing
This was a beautiful mausoleum. The statue when you walked in was amazing. Thanks for putting this in the “shorts”. I have to go back and review if I missed another.
Thank you so much. How beautiful. I heard of your site from watching Faces of the Forgotten. I love your site. God Bless you and thank you for the wonderful adventures
The sculpture is exquisite.. Simply stunning and so life like. My question is why only father and daughter in the mausoleum? Where is the wife? And why was Rosamond, the niece, buried outside instead of in the mausoleum?
Rosamund and the daughter fell out and his wife is I believe buried in Rusdia, I think that's where she was from ❤ I had to feel that sculpture as the blanket looked so real, almost like a fleece, such craftsmanship ❤ thanks Laura
WOW 😲😳 AMAZIN'! STARTED OUT HEARING YA THEN CAN'T HEAR YA! THANK U VERY MUCH FOR TAKIN' THE X MAKIN' Y SHARIN' THIS VIDEO! LOVE 💕 WATCHIN' UR VIDEOS SUE! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE!🛐🤭✝️🇺🇲
Thank you so, so very much. Enjoyed your video’s so much l watched quite a few in a row and l never do that. History lesson in each one. Again Thank you. M.A. McGee
How magnificent is that mausoleum. Can't believe people vandalize someone's resting place 😔 that's sacrilegious !! Loved hearing about the history ...got off and Googled more about the family. Interesting story and thank you for sharing with us ❤
Thank you, for giving us a great view of the surrounding woods. Ireland truly is a very beautiful island. The mausoleum itself is totally awesome, especially the interior, most especially the statue. The steps going down to the crypt looked tricky, I hope you took your time going down. The coffins looked to be in good condition, are the coffins set upon other crypts? One coffin looks to be resting on a marble slab with lettering. The icehouse looked interesting. Thank you Sue and GV for another great walking tour. Have a great day.
It's very hard now to get the key, I had to research the area to find someone who knew then to contact him etc, I feel very honoured to have been able to go in a see this beautiful mausoleum, let's hope this act of vandalism never happens again ❤
I was really fascinated by the French mausoleum especially the monument in the center of the altar, ofcourse hearing some of the historical facts. Awesome!
Another great video sue it's always amazing to see the coffins that are so old and to no they are still inside them lead coffins after so long is amazing it a shame people want to vandalise places ov rest god help them if I ever caught someone doing that thank you for Another great video take care stay safe and God bless you ❤️🙏
Thankyou As l try to learn more of my Irish roots l hear James my dad’s name Robert my brother,s name are very common with McConell is Gary an Irish name too that was my grandfather’s name! Thankyou for your feed back❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
Hello Sue, What a magnificent mausoleum . Its so sad that we have "Idiots" for the want of a more fitting discription that find it entertaining to vandalise places of rest like this.. The scenery was breath taking and so very peaceful. I have never seen anything like the ice house before, I suppose it was the first "Deep freeze" 🙂. I know this is an older video but many thanks to toy both for bringing it to us.
great videos only recently discovered!, Kathleen Ffrench & Rosamond her cousin did not get on,the latter lived (in dire poverty) in Monivea Castle being forbidden by Kathllen to sell anything from the estate eg timber.kathleen decreed that the mausoleum was for her father / herself only hence Rosamonds grave outside .;the house became very run down, had dry rot. kathleen left it to the gov in her will, the house was demolished. on the ice house, in cold winters long ago ice was taken to it (by cart?) from lakes/rivers ,low temps meant it did not melt,it was then taken to the kitchen as needed(hence the ladder?) ,food was rarely,if ever, stored there,. Finally,if you are ever in Galway area again the Trench mausoleum near the much publicised Woodlawn House might be worth a visit.thanks again for these fascinating videos
Hi Seamus, thanks for the information, regards the Trench mausoleum I think we looked into that but then realised its by appointment only, when I'm down that way I'll make sure to try and get to it ❤❤
What a beautiful, peaceful setting. Is true that there are no snakes in Ireland? We could not explore like this in Tennessee without fear of finding a snake, poisonous or not. 🐍 😳😱
Amazing what they could achieve in those days,if the old saying is true,that the spirits of the departed remain nearby then I’m sure the squire,his daughter and niece would be looking on probably with curiosity .another excellent presentation.👏👏👍
Yes the damp is coming in, they were at the time talking to I believe the Irish heritage or similar that takes time for funds etc to come in and for the mausoleum to get funds ❤
Wow! What an amazing mausoleum. The marble sculpture of Robert is just perfection. Their story is incredible and it's a privilege to have seen their decorated lead coffins. The setting is a perfect picture of the 40 shades of green. What a shame that anybody would vandalize a resting place. Thanks Sue.

mausoleum itself is totally awesome, especially the interior,
most especially the statue. The steps going down to the crypt looked tricky, I hope you took
your time going down. The coffins
looked to be in good condition, are
the coffins set upon other crypts?
One coffin looks to be resting on
a marble slab with lettering. The
icehouse looked interesting.
Thank you Sue and GV for another great walking tour. Have a great day.
Hey, yes the coffins I think are on marble slabs with the names of the Ffrench family, no one else is inside the mausoleum only father and daughter

Hello Sue, What a magnificent mausoleum . Its so sad that we have "Idiots" for the want of a more fitting discription that find it entertaining to vandalise places of rest like this.. The scenery was breath taking and so very peaceful. I have never seen anything like the ice house before, I suppose it was the first "Deep freeze" 🙂. I know this is an older video but many thanks to toy both for bringing it to us.
It's one of my favourites Barry
Sue, This place is amazing. Just like a castle.
It is
Oh real coffins what history thanks
Thanks Sally ❤️🍀🇮🇪
great videos only recently discovered!, Kathleen Ffrench & Rosamond her cousin did not get on,the latter lived (in dire poverty) in Monivea Castle being forbidden by Kathllen to sell anything from the estate eg timber.kathleen decreed that the mausoleum was for her father / herself only hence Rosamonds grave outside .;the house became very run down, had dry rot. kathleen left it to the gov in her will, the house was demolished. on the ice house, in cold winters long ago ice was taken to it (by cart?) from lakes/rivers ,low temps meant it did not melt,it was then taken to the kitchen as needed(hence the ladder?) ,food was rarely,if ever, stored there,. Finally,if you are ever in Galway area again the Trench mausoleum near the much publicised Woodlawn House might be worth a visit.thanks again for these fascinating videos
Hi Seamus, thanks for the information, regards the Trench mausoleum I think we looked into that but then realised its by appointment only, when I'm down that way I'll make sure to try and get to it ❤❤
What a beautiful, peaceful setting. Is true that there are no snakes in Ireland? We could not explore like this in Tennessee without fear of finding a snake, poisonous or not. 🐍 😳😱
Yes, it's true, no snakes
Wow, what a beautiful resting place for that family. Just wow.
It is absolutely stunning
Excelente estado del mausoleo que se notó con la excelente descripción. Saludos🇦🇷
Hi Patricia, thank you 😊
What a lovely mausoleum.
I love this one
Amazing what they could achieve in those days,if the old saying is true,that the spirits of the departed remain nearby then I’m sure the squire,his daughter and niece would be looking on probably with curiosity .another excellent presentation.👏👏👍
Thanks Peter, this place was so beautiful 😍
I know this is wacky but this mausoleum needs a central dehumidifier its so beautiful green moss is overrunning it
Yes the damp is coming in, they were at the time talking to I believe the Irish heritage or similar that takes time for funds etc to come in and for the mausoleum to get funds ❤
The Ice House was huge inside ❣️ they must have had a lot of food and drinks in there in the day 👍😎💯‼️❣️
They sure must of, then look at the mausoleum, they were very well off ❤
