Kicked Out For Religious Beliefs

[@CHRISTMASCABCO]

It's just so mind blowing that stones from 300 years ago are still legible. Talk about craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing.

[@autumnfall8829]

What you are seeing with the lead coffins are the liners. The outer walls of them are wood. The wood rots away and just leaves the lead lining exposed. It's not bones on top but rotted wood. Also it's so weird seeing palm trees in Ireland lol.

[@Just_Granny]

Very unique headstones. I’m amazed at the Palm trees growing there. Thanks GV 👍🏻

I totally agree! I am always captivated as I watch. My maternal g-g grandfather was French and I have traced his family back to the Huguenots. They migrated to South Carolina, USA.

Hi GV it looks really nice I can hear the bells lovely grave stones hope you are well what a lovely video GV thanks so much wow that's a shame when they crumble hope everyone is at peace the grass is cut nice so you can get around thanks again ❤️👍

[@djwt20]

Interesting to see a lot of New Zealand trees and plants there. The "palm tree" is "Cordyline australis" or "Cabbage tree", "Ti Kouka" in Maori. Another distinctive one was the "ToeToe" (Austroderia) a type of tall grass with razor sharp leaves and feathery white flower tops.

[@leenewsom7517]

Thank you so much! I have been wondering about those plants for a while 👍🏻😁

[@LindaGrey-wm9uc]

The real NZ toitoi do not have razor sharp leaves. Those belong to a South American genus that unfortunately are now widespread in NZ. The native toitoi have soft leaves.

Great one, GV!! Such history! 💚💚💚💚

[@janetslicer3637]

When I saw the titles, I thought you, Cathal, got kicked out of the cemetery for religious differences! What a beautiful church and grounds. Those headstones again are just imperfectly perfect! So many designs from short to tall, the top designs are to die for. Love the variety and ages of them. The poor Huguenots were persecuted by the Catholics in France. Some left and managed to get to the US mainland of Florida to the first city in the "new world" named St Augustine (technically the oldest city in America). Unfortunately, the Spaniards, also Catholics, drove them out of the city of St Augustine. Many were killed and within the city limits is a huge Huguenot cemetery from the 16 - 17 centuries. I have walked through it and it is very old and sad. In downtown St Augustine there is a large Catholic Basilica that is amazing. Geezzz, what we continue to do to each other! ♥️☘️🇮🇪

[@raymondmiller5098]

Great vid, GV! I knew many Hugeunots had settled in and around Berlin (traditionally, lands belonging to historic Prussia). I had no idea that the Hugeunot diaspora included Ireland. It may be of some interest to know that one of the most noteworthy Hugeunot descendants of recent decades was Lothar de Maiziere, who briefly headed the first and only democratically-elected government of the German Democratic Republic (aka, East Germany) in the final months before Reunification. His family fled France for asylum in Prussia in the late 1600s.

[@FeralSheryl1818]

Yet another really interesting churchyard. Lots of lovely old stones. Thank you GV.

[@vdimasteremeritus]

Every stone tells the story of a life lived. Sometimes a good life, sometimes bad, sometimes tragic. It is humbling to know that seeing so many people over centuries of time are still remembered. We should all be so lucky.

[@Lorriann63]

Thank you, GV. These old cemeteries fascinate me. I could spend days and days here trying to find out who is there.

[@daveyjoweaver6282]

At about 6:30 or a bit before as your looking in the crypt there is a voice (EVP) I can’t make out the first few words but the second part sounds like, “We love you”.

[@Beaverbush1969]

@daveyjoweaver6282 yes I heard it.

[@KittKatPawz]

I heard it also. 😮

[@zorabryce5493]

What an old church this is, and there are a few very old graves. It is unusual to have palm trees there. I know that the Romans did bring palm trees to the UK, though the palm trees in this cemetery would have been planted about fifty years ago. Another enjoyable episode, so thank you again. Stay safe and keep well, Zora in Australia.

Great Video and yes at fram 3:24 that is an anchor the Lead is a very ancient way to seal things. It does not decay, it is soft and easy to shape. You can fold it over and pound it flat for a good seal. And for a perfect seal, you can melt the edges and let it all flow together into one seamless piece. There are only two flaws: it is VERY heavy, and it is not very strong. It bends too easily to make much from it. When bodies are not embalmed, they either need to be buried quickly, or thoroughly sealed. Lead can be a good material. You can solve the strength issue by using an outer wood coffin, and lining it with lead. But that is still very heavy and as you jsee with the wood it just got wet and borken apart by the just by the weight of the lead

Ya I think they always seem to crumble up and the wood disintegrates Jamie. Thank you for watching as always
