Tucked away down a grassy boreen stands the now-abandoned church of St Helen, Moviddy, County Cork (closed for services 1961, unroofed 1968). The surrounding graveyard contains this early 18th century mausoleum (also now without a roof) constructed by the Bailey family who were then living close by in Castlemore Castle. Inside the little building, the south wall is dominated by a large memorial carrying the following inscription: ‘This monument erected at the cost of Mrs Anne Bayly widow of John Bayly of Castlemore Esquire to preserve his memory, who died the 15th of June Anno Christi, 1719. He was a gent who had the true interest of his country at heart. At the revolution he served in person in the wars of Ireland, till the kingdom was reduced to peace and quietness. Quitting the war he returned to his wife and children and shewed himself as good a husband as indulgent a father as he was a true subject being honored with a commission of the peace. He always administered justice so uprightly that he never blemished his commission and dyed lamented by all good men who did know him.’
Today we explore an abandoned Church of Ireland church in Co. Cork, We found lots of amazing old crypts and mausoleums here but sadly it's in a very bad state, not the first time we have found an old graveyard like this.

About a hundred years ago grave robbing for valuables was rife. This graveyard looks like something like that happened. It’s so sad to see that these poor souls last resting places were disrespected and vandalised 😢 Thank you for sharing 😊
Hey Mazz, oh I seen it before on the McKenna Mausoleum, the coffins I could nearly touch, the lead coffins ripped open like a tin can, shocking
Completely forgotten by time but in it's day people worshipped lived,died happy and sad days. What a find to remember those gone. Thanx guys for the walk.❤😊❤😊
Yes, you are right
Hey Sue, this is epic, interesting to see inside the open crypts, how odd they were open! Wow seeing those remains underneath, just incredible, sad that its in such state of disrepair. Appreciate how kind and respectful you and GV are. great video!!
Thanks Pinned x
Oh my word, what a find !! The window with the vines wouldn't look out of place in an art gallery nor would the tree , absolutely fantastic . The whole place took my breath away , so much to see but a shame it was left for nature to reclaim . Thank you GV and Serenity Sue brilliantly presented xx
I loved that window, it's just stunning as it is x
I love watching your videos. I used to love going to cemeteries and would drag my son with me when he was younger. Not sure he loved it. I am envious of your energy and walking pace. Amazing. Keep up the great grave visits.
Hey Carole, oh believe me I suffer with back problems and suffer afterwards I also bring my son, he seems to enjoy it x
I'm a new subscriber. I live in Georgia, United States. Up in the mountains. There is a graveyard not far from. us, in which my 4th great grandmother is laid to rest. Fascinating that you go around to these graveyards. They are so beautiful. This one is amazing. Think how it must have been when the Church was still active and whole. What a feast for the eyes. The last grave being just such a short time ago. It must have been tricky digging that grave and getting the casket there. Must be such a feeling of peace in these graveyards. Thank you for making this possible. I do family genealogy research so seeing old graves really makes the research into the lives of people so real.
So I was able to watch before my son arrived. OMG that was a crazy adventure. Thank you both for going the extra mile for us. You always amaze me with your discoveries!!!
Thanks so much Sylvia, it's important to make the effort to find these old graveyards, unfortunately for this place it's extremely dangerous but still beautiful
Such a shame for an old cemetery, I'm sure at one time it was absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Oh I'd say it was just gorgeous
I could spend a whole day there, truly amazing and fun seeing all the monuments, crypts and church.
Thank you Alan 😊
All I can say is ~WoW~ Fantastic churchyard explore, so many crypts & not enough time 'lol' Thanks Sue & GV, you both did very well indeed👍👍
Thank you, it was a really cool place but in a bad shape, still beautiful though
Hi Sue and GV. What a wonderful find. Beautiful old Church and graveyard. Thank You both for bring us along. You two make a great team. Love from the USA!💚💚
Thanks Hail, I just loved the church ruins
Thank you Sue and GV for taking us on this amazing adventure. Love the ruins of the church and the lovely stones. It's a shame that it has fallen into such disrepair. So sad for the people interred there.
It's always sad to see such disrepair but there's such beauty in those ruins too x
You are so intrepid in your adventures, Sue and GV. This cemetery was an absolutely amazing experience, with your shots of the sky, clouds, moon, tree, the church window with creepers twining around the niche and all the textures of the different stones ... I'm raving, but truly thank you for a wonderful video.
Thank you Shantibel, it is truly amazing for sure, its sad to see it as it is now but once upon a time I bet it was absolutely stunning
A dangerous place to walk around! You could fall through into a crypt and get seriously injured or worse. Pretty wild to find these open crypts, but sad that vandals did what they did. Epic find guys! 😊👏👍
Cheers Hans, it is very dangerous, had to watch myself very carefully because I'd trip over a hair in the ground lol x
Thanks Sue,GV for another enlightening walk.Sad that the crypts are in that condition but maybe no descendants left to tidy up.
Sad if there is vandalism,anyway sleep well,everyoneor have a great day,god bless from ballarat in Oz,👋👋🙏🙏🇦🇺
Thanks Peter, yes it's so sad, night x
Thank you for showing us this interesting place. I love the old, ruined church and those gorgeous windows. It would look lovely in a painting.
Yes, it's a beautiful church if in ruins
Another wonderful interesting and amazing find Sue and GV. Thank you for letting us come along and learn. Love from Michigan, USA
Very welcome Babette 🙏
I am a friend from Detroit Michigan USA too. Ireland 🇮🇪 is stunning. .where my family came from straight to Ellis Island ...
Thank u for sharing
Thank you! I'm so amazed can't say more!
Thanks so much, I truly appreciate it 💗
those rails on the graves are stunningly ornate
Yes, I love them all
The church ruins were beautiful. I’m always blown away by crypts open to the elements. So sad how there has been no care. And forgive my ignorance to how things were done back in the day but when there is a grave with the names of parents and all their children. Does it mean they are all buried there? If so that’s pretty amazing. Great video ♥️
Yes mostly they are buried all together, we don't use liners here, just into the ground x
@@SerenitySueGraveyards So since you do not use liners over there, ( I live in Oregon, USA by the way ) as the coffins disintegrate, all the remains
mix together? Is that the idea for those large family graves?
Yes, Michael
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Thank you again Sue, for your time and patience with my questions. It sounds like burials over there 100 or more years ago were pretty much natural burials.
No liners, no embalming fluids,
pretty much everything goes back
to the ground, except for bones,
coffin handles, and what jewelry was
buried with the deceased. No environmental hazards there.
Take care Sue.
I'm so very happy you were able to get some interior shots of the church! So cool, Sue!
Hey Matt, thanks 😊
What a picturesque little churchyard, a bit sad that the crypts got broken into this badly. Still a beautiful sight to see.
It is sad but I also find them beautiful
beautiful location both...super video 📹 👌
Cheers Johno
Wow beautiful and sad at the same time thank you both
Very welcome Tom, yes that's how I see it, there's beauty in this sad place, even as it looks now x
I have a granny,granda,two aunts and two uncles buried in the Foxford/Ballina area of County Mayo.The quantity of rain in the area does not help in preserving the graveyards from the weather.Good presentation in the video Sue.
Thank you so much, Ireland is extremely wet in winter, I can only imagine how much damage happens to the graves x
That tree though!! Stunning and unusual ironwork seen on that beautiful evening. Thanks Sue💞
Hey Victoria thank you
What an amazing place you have brought us this time. God bless you both for trying too close the door. Thank you again for bringing us along. 🎚🙏💕🇨🇦
Thanks Roxanne, I know I video these places but it always makes me sad x
nothing sadder than a vadalised grave so sad, thank you for your great videos
Its very sad KathyN
Beautiful 😍 old cemetery. Great 👍 video friends.
Thanks Rodolfo, appreciate it x
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you! 😊
What a beautiful place. And it looks like you went at the perfect time of day, right at twilight.
It was stunning, pity about the damage though x
Wow! Again an amazing find! I really enjoy these old old cemeteries as here in Canada 🍁 we don’t have any really old ones like you do over there! The tree growing out of the old church ⛪️ was just amazing! Thank you for the great video! God Bless you both! ♥️🇨🇦🇮🇪♥️
Thank you so much 💓 💗
Wow, just came across this video, so beautiful!
Glad you enjoyed it! Please consider subscribing if you haven't already ❤️
Open crypts with remains? Unreal! Thanks Sue! ❤️
Thanks Marlene x
Sue, I really enjoyed this fantastic video. When my uncle was living, he use to troll old cemeteries and he told me that you can find out more about a person in death than when that person was alive. He loved the stories on the gravestones. This cemetery is perfect for a horror story or movie. We have a lot of dilapidated old cemeteries like this in the states. Unless there is a private organization or volunteers, the cemeteries are left to their own devises. I live near a neighborhood where the cemetery is in the back yard of a residence. The graves are back from the 1700's
Thank you for sharing your story, ahh your Uncle sounds like such a sweetheart, my family always brought me, I used to love the beautiful pepples and stones on graves, even brought some home one day, I thought they were gems, I got in big trouble too, anyway I think that's where my love started, as just a 6 Yr old..x
Thank you both very much xxxxx
Our pleasure!
Good Lord, you two have amazing eyesight!!!!🪬😂🔎🩷🧿🪦🧿🩷🔍😂🪬
I wish I had lol
The huge tree inside the beautiful church is amazing.
I loved it too and the design of the church
Wow looks very peaceful there.
Thanks Mandy , Co. Cork is amazing
John and Julie, Salem, OR, USA, we really enjoy your posts. Fascinating history information. Thank you so much 💞
Our pleasure!
What a place to vist ....wonderful history ..u two are great
Thank you Marie, we both appreciate that 🙏
WOW! Absolutely amazing! You have done it again. :) I love, love, love it!
Thanks Kim x
So beautiful but so sad.
Yrs this area was in a bad way
Hi SUE a great video full of history really interesting shame place is falling apart but great history and Ireland has plenty of that sorry too see the desecrated graves.Keep up the great videos Sue and companion you guy's are wonderful.
Thanks Michael
Your both absolutely amazing ❤️💙
Thanks so much
Over 9 thousand subscribers now and with Grave Visitations has another great video. Loved the Church of Ireland! What a tough cemetary to walk thru so glad Grave visitations was there. All those open doors and i get nervous about seeing bones and such. Until next video!
It's a stunning church, wouldn't mind buying this and doing it up, that beautiful window x
A very amazing video! The tree growing up through the ruins of the church is really beautiful. Also the tombs and crypts are interesting.
Thanks watcher, it was stunning, loved that tree, amazing the way nature reclaims ❤️
Love your channel. Just found it so trying to catch up.
Visited Ireland about 50 yrs. ago and just loved it! Wish I could live there.
I enjoy your channel!
God Bless You!
Hi Mary, I'm very lucky to live here, absolutely adore it..thank you ❤️
Such an amazing video! Thank you Sue
So welcome Brenda
Amazing how it's still standing.Having fun again 😀🤗.I need to see if we have old cemetery 🪦 around here in my home state.
Thanks Suzie
It’s hard to imagine someone breaking into a crypt or coffin. Here in America I’ve seen cemeteries with pushed over and broken tomb stones. It is a good example of the lack of values in our society. I travel to many cemeteries with my Grandparents looking for relatives and admiring the beauty of the stones and plants. Here where I live in South Eastern Pennsylvania we have names of townships like Colerain, Donegal, Drumore, Oxford, Nottingham and Little Britain. I suppose you can guess where the folks who settled this area were from, including my GGGGrandfather from Ireland. Thank You Kindly for this beautiful tour! I would have Loved to see the church when it was intact with the lovely windows. I’ll bet the woodwork was splendid! Peace, Many Blessings and Joy of Being! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Thanks DaveyJo, Donegal is northern Ireland, rest sound like England, I hate to think of people vandalising such sacred places x
At 32:16 there is what looks like a face in the stone that is over the crypt entrance. A very sad and haunted looking cemetery. Thanks so much and please be safe, the both of you! Blessings!
Thanks Lora, I didn't see the face, yes so very sad
Thank you Sue for another great adventure love the ruins of the old church. It is a shame that the remains are treated so disrespectfully but at least you guys close the door and give them some dignity thank you. 🇺🇸👮🏻♂️
Thanks Mike,can't believe that door was wide open,so sad
Thank you for closing those doors!
Thanks Brenda
Awesome video thank you very much. 👍👍👍👍
Cheers U.S.A ❤️
Those stone crypts and buildings are super heavy. If there are heavy rains in the area, could cause the earth under the stone structures to weaken and break open and sink. Cemeteries are such curious and mysterious places. Great video.
I hope they get in there fast before another winter comes, we get very wet winters here x
A Small but very interesting cemetery thnx for showing.
Cheers Rolf x
Susan, I just love your curiosity.
Can very much relate.
I'm so glad you have curiosity like me
Hi sue its a shame people can not leave dead people alone. Let them rest. Its good to see you and irish eyes have respect and always have. You both take care love from riky in aberdeen.xx
Thanks Richard, appreciate it 🙏
No problem great to see yet another good vid. You both take care and please say hello to the little man for me. And my daughter summer. She is 11.years and enjoys watching these vids. I heard you get a shout out from scott on tape. I watch him too. Lol.xx
Scott on tape is hilarious 😂 say hi to Summer, beautiful name
Ohhhhh! Its Beautiful 😊❤😁😻
❤️
AMAZING CHURCH AND WOW 😳 THOSE TOMBS AND CRYPTS CREEPY BUT REALLY COOL STUFF 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪👌👌
Cheers Tim, it's so cool
First time I'm watching this Sue doesn't seem like 1year ago since you were here I thought maybe 12months ago,😂😂on a serious side It's impossible for you to make a boring episode AYE ITS A GRAND CHANNEL 👍👍 thanks for sharing SUE 🙏🍀🎥 cheers Stephen 🍀🍀✌️✌️
Thanks a million Stephen 😊
Thank you for posting this !
Very welcome John
I came across one of your videos and couldn't stop watching! You are a wonderful story teller and your accent is beautiful! I subscribed to your channel and am on a roll to watch several more! Thank you! 😊❤️🙏🌼
Ahh thank you so much, I just love this channel and I adore being able to do this x
Incredible. It's understandable the ground may collapse.
Thank you ❤️
Another great video ive just found😊
I appreciate your long holds with the camera. I will never be able to see any of this in person. Such beauty in life and death
I completely agree, now some people don't like it but most of my subscribers like myself are intrigued by what happens when we die. Not always nice finds into the crypts but this is educational and I suppose I am a little bit morbid. I'm simply fascinated by these crypts etc
Thank you!! Great video
Thanks Joni
Amazing there were two burials in the beginning of this walk thru in 2021 and 2019.
I know Arleen, amazing from the most recent to the forgotten
Such an amazing Cemetery!! My family also has the Crook name so I found that interesting. Wondering if they may have originated from Germany too ?? Such amazing architecture..so sad to see the stones, crypts and church in disrepair. It does add a sense of mystery though. Thank You for showing us ...Greetings from Kentucky in the USA 🇺🇸
Thanks Tracy, yes it is sad to see cemeteries like this but I do love the older cemeteries here x x
@@SerenitySueGraveyards totally agree the older cemeteries are beautiful...wish they would do some level of repair and clean up. So sad that these peoples resting places have been maybe broken into and violated. Really love watching ur videos
Yea it's terrible anyone could do that, they are not good people..thank you so much x
Love all the amazing ruins of all the cryps.Such good finds.Take care be safe from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 🙏
Hi Kim, thanks so very much 😊
Your voice belongs to the beautiful imagery and fits perfectly.
Thanks so much, I get very excited when I find myself in such historic places x
God. Bless you to....
❤️
What a beautiful place
Thanks Bella x
In Iowa USA they have grave tours.they take you on a tour and tell about things ❤
Ahh cool
No rails around stones ❤
Thank you lovely couple! Another exciting find!
Thanks Sandra x
While exploring plz stay safe and take walking sticks with you so you can test the ground before you step. Safety first 😊
That's true Ginny, I'm clumsy enough 😅
Amazing graveyard and so lush and green. Thanks Sue!
Thanks Pamela,it's gorgeous 😍
Thanks for sharing another amazing video of this beautiful old cemetery ❤️
Thanks for watching Lisa
Another great video 👏👏👏
Thanks again!
You two are amazing what a video!!! I enjoy them so much. Sad the destruction, have to think they are in a much lovelier place.
Yes it's very sad, all that damage, thanks Amy, appreciate it 🙏
Sue, you have probably heard this many times, but Ireland is such a beautiful, lush country. Wish I could visit.
Hey Susan, maybe someday you will, yes very green here,must be all the rain x
And I love your accent. Took me a little bit to understand but I love it.
Hey Carole, thank you, appreciate it x
Rest well both goodnight
Thanks Hazel, sleep well x
Wow I’m a dickered to this .I’m amazed at what you do so thank you from Donald nz New Zealand
Hey Donald, thanks so much x
Wow Sue, that was certainly an adventure into the unknown! not a place to venture into at night as you could find your self down a deep hole with a broken limb or two. Thankyou so much, as always so interesting to watch. Take care and God Bless ♥
Thanks Irene, yes extremely dangerous for sure and sad x
Great video Thankyou x
Very welcome Barb x
You are absolutely right that tree is a beech tree
I just came across your channel and I must say that it is interesting and it's very beautiful country and very sad about those doors being open like that
Thanks Jeremy, I appreciate it so much ☺️
Fascinating and sad.
That's true Ben x
Ohhhh boy! This'll be interesting.
You'll see by my reactions how super excited I was being here, the exhausted feeling lifted and I was back on cloud 9
Another great video.
Thanks William x
Great find Sue and G.V. thanks for sharing. God Bless!!
Thanks Loots, God Bless
The graves are all so beautiful yet sad that families aren't around to tend and fix up the graves.
It is sad 😔
I am so sorry I missed this. I am going to watch it I awhile. I haven't seen my son in over 4 months and he will be here soon. Love what I have seen so far....
Thanks Sylvia, enjoy your son x
The beauty in the decay
Yes that's it, I've said exactly this too...we do not stay with our bodies after death, our bodies are just shells to carry the energy/soul/spirit
Very interesting this gravesyard ,be careful
Thanks
Hello from Tennessee. Your channel is awesome.
Thanks Ethan, appreciate that x
@@SerenitySueGraveyards you are welcome.
❤️
Another beautiful overgrown cemetary! Nice. So sad its been vandalised. I do hope no one took bones with em home... Who knows..
Who knows is right, I do understand natural decay in our older cemeteries but I can't forgive vandalism or grave robbing, you know me ill always take a peep inside but it sure makes me mad to see places left to rot and left to a certain few people who think it's OK to destroy and Rob from the dead.
