Ancient Burial Ground Discovered In Gothic Mansion

[@jacquelinesmedley7853]

Another great video thank you GV. Lady Mary died on November 21, 1833, at the age of 75. After a funeral service held within the priory’s great hall, she was laid to rest in a mausoleum built on the estate, on the site of an ancient fort on Walton Hill, a mile to the south of the priory. The surrounding woodland was christened Lady Mary’s Wood. Her brother’s ashes were also interred here. Sadly for Lady Mary, the mausoleum, like her stately home, was later abandoned and, left to the elements. It was broken into and now, overgrown, like her home abandoned and crumbling - was forcibly entered, coffins broken open and human bones scattered across the floor in a grisly act of sacrilege and wanton vandalism. It is a sad postscript to the history of her reclusive and religious life.

@@jacquelinesmedley7853 Thank you for kindly updating the sad and tragic ending of this lovely woman. What some humans do to others is unforgiveable. This just tears at my soul. ♥️☘️

[@gwenbrashier1884]

Thank you for the information. Isn't it sad to think.Lady Mary couldn't rest in peace without her resting place being desecrated like that. Plus, to think no one cares/d enough to fix her resting place. .. RIP Lady Mary

What a crying shame it was left to fall in to ruin. The stone doesn’t look too bad in places. Superb explore.

[@007tallguy]

Holy smokes, I'm darned near speechless!! 😮😮😮 What an awesome structure, even in its current condition. There's no question the lady had a lot of money, the stonework and the attention to detail is amazing. And to think when that was built there was no such thing as building codes, yet its still standing over 200 years later. 👍 Thanks for sharing such an amazing location with us. 😁 Pete 🇨🇦

[@jmpet7134]

I wonder what condition the building was in when it was abandoned in the 1960s? amazing how fast it just crumbled away.

[@joannerothque1548]

What a stunning home. I can't believe it has just been abandoned & left to rot like that.

[@riandraegon556]

My haiku for you…. few of us will leave a trace of haunting beauty abandoned in time

[@sharonowen]

What a beautiful amazing building, I would love to have seen it in all its glory. So stunning.

[@Lorriann63]

What a magnificent place! I love Gothic architecture and I'm sad to see it fall to ruin, but how wonderful and grand it must have looked in it's time. Thank you, GV, for showing us this beautiful place!

[@GraveVisitations]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@MackWilliams-oz2cz]

Marvelous video! I know this may sound strange; but to me, the mud had the look of having "gracefully descended" the steps of that beautiful staircase!

[@cathys7087]

So much beautiful detail still there, hinting at how stunning this place once was. Even the tiles on the floor were something else! Thanks for this very cool tour, GV.

[@tomsdotter3228]

Spectacular Crib for sure

[@mariebeveridge9324]

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful ruins how sad it was left to be destroyed to this state. Hopefully someone with financial aid could buy and bring it back to life. It is majestically beautiful still. Those floor tiles wow. Just sad we could not have seen more. Thank you again. ❤

[@GraveVisitations]

Not much more to see really lol

[@FeralSheryl1818]

Thanks GV. I bet it was something in the day. Also to love an animal so much and bury it with privilege so many years ago. What an awesome find. It speaks loudly in writing.

No that was other people who were exploring the building also saying hello

So beautiful!! What a shame such grand places were left to crumble. Now they would cost a fortune to bring back to what they would have looked like sadly. Thank u for showing us!!!❤

[@donnapowers7815]

I had to watch twice because of the beauty and splendor it once was. Such a shame that it couldn’t be kept up, or restored before the vandals took over. Thank you so much for showing us. Safe travels GV.

[@GraveVisitations]

Thanks for watching Donna even twice 😁👍

[@janetslicer3637]

Oh my gosh, I love this! This is a super cool find Cathal! Is this on private land or open to the public? This place is grand! Is it remote? Or close to a town? Boy in its day it must have been amazing! I can't figure out how mud that thick got on the grand staircase! Oh, I just love all of this! Thank you so much Cathal! ♥️☘️🎉

Hi Janet it is open to the public to walk around thankfully. It would be nice to see it restored and made into a hotel or something to that nature

Soil flowing down a staircase ...... wow !!! Not something you see every day!

[@Lurker_Above]

Amazing how much soil worked it's way into an interior space like that.

[@YTmama-c1o]

What a beautiful building it must have been once. Wouldn't it be lovely if someone could take out some of the still intact features..grand staircase, beautiful floor tiles, etc and re-purpose them somewhere else. I bet Mary would be happy someone else could still enjoy them daily.

[@GraveVisitations]

That would be cool!

Abandoned, ruined house, gargoyles stone carving and a mausoleum. Im in my own personal heaven. Such a peaceful and beautiful place. Just perfect. The undergrowth just adds to the magic. Those tiles by the staircase would have been a gorgeous sight at one time too. I love the idea of all your pets laid to rest in their own cemetary too. Ghe obvious love and grief for their pets raises them right up in my estimation.

[@jackpayne4658]

What a wonderful place! Perhaps this 'Priory' was inspired by William Beckford's Fonthill Abbey in Wiltshire - another mock-ecclesiastical edifice completed in 1813. Fonthill was poorly designed and shoddily built, such that its impressive tower collapsed - but only after Beckford had sold it.

[@myriadhues457]

oh my word. The amount of detail in the architecture, even the tile of the floor beneath the grand stairwell was incredible. How sad to see it in such a state, but there is something strangely beautiful in so much nature claiming the structure.

[@myriadhues457]

and sadder still, the owners of the priory, the Baron's Cochrane actually want to demolish what's left of the priory. Though, according to wikipedia there are planners and locals who wish to see it restored instead.
