Lewis Carroll's Grave - Famous Graves

[@patriciagarrison3182]

Lewis Carroll was such an enigmatic man. He fascinates me. Thank you for this video!

[@suetodd1725]

Thank you 😊 Paul enjoyed this one,hope your okay,got some good news yesterday after all my treatment for it chemotherapy and radiothearpy two operations,my breast cancer has gone,I'm in remission,such good news now just my kidney cancer to beat now,I'm getting there,stay safe xxxx

[@UnusualThings1]

Ahh Sue, that’s great news. Yes keep fighting and stay positive. You’ve got this 🙏🙏

[@johnclarke8096]

Thank you Paul. He made so many many children happy that's his legacy in my opinion. Loved the church and nice of the guy to let you look around.

[@WitchInTheShadows]

What a great man by giving us Alice in wonderland this story must have been read and watched by almost everyone. What a gorgeous little church i absolutely love the peace and tranquility of churches. Watching your lovely videos have got me thinking about where i want my final resting place to be 🤔

[@Linda-qf3yk]

Man that cemetery is old, i’m not a religious person either but I do love old churches. for me it’s how an old church smells I love it!!!!!❤

[@Tinaf653]

Thank you Paul. I too am not religious (in fact I guess you can call me an atheist), but I agree with you, that, despite that, I love to appreciate the buildings that churches are, and find them so beautiful. I’m a part time reader due to worsening eyesight, but I’ve read the Alice books, and I feel they’re worth a try if you get the chance. I’m a big fan of “the old favourites” or the “classics “, much like Carroll, and the likes of Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast trilogy, Roald Dahl, Beatrix Potter, etc, but my favourite by far is JRR Tolkien. Even now, as a woman in my 40s, I still love the books I read as a kid. Give me a classic any day!

[@alisonprince1102]

❤❤Thank you so much for showing the grave of lewis Carroll. I was called Alice in wonderland when I was younger. I loved reading both books. May he rest in peace ❤❤

[@deborahholcombe6598]

As a Member of the Lewis Carroll Society of BOTH the UK and America, i can Say "Well Done!" He spend His last Days of 1897 at His Sisters Home, the "Chestnuts." Unfortunately, since It is a Rental, NO Longer has the Blue Plaque on the Gate. "Thy Will be Done" are His last Words as Dodgson was Dying of Influenza. " One of the Talents entrusted Me to occupy with until the Master shall return, by doing something to make OTHERS LIVES HAPPY."

[@bibekdas7449]

Man! You are so underrated. Thanks for showing the final resting place of my favourite Author!

[@jasonshiers5771]

This channel should have more subscribers, it’s informative and fascinating to watch.

[@UnusualThings1]

Thank you Jason 🙏

[@KittyCatFurbabiesMaria1972]

Hi Jason, Totally agree , I shared it on my fb page and some of my friends have subscribed , You’re more than welcome to share the page as I’m sure Paul would not mind Much love 🥰x

[@mainowlin6176]

Lewis Carroll was a great author of Alice in Wonderland and I loved this book growing up. Thanks for bringing his background and burial site.

[@steffanhoffmann8937]

Nice presentation 👍 At first, Lewis Carrolls photo, looked like Oscar Wilde. Not a great fan of fantasy but I think the characters he created in Alice, have stood the test of time brilliantly.

[@bensmovies8945]

Love Lewis Carroll’s’ works, used to read ‘Through The Looking-Glass’ all the time as a kid. He was a brilliant writer, and extremely witty too. The Jabberwocky being a prime example.

[@jacquelineharrod6386]

Wonderful author. Unforgettable words from him as he neared death. "How marvellous to be able to say, death is over now". RIP.

[@TJ_Beam]

What a humble grave and resting place for such a legendary figure of history…❤

[@deewesthill1213]

As a kid over 60 years ago i loved the book and was in a play in the "Looking Glass" segment. I only got a small role with one line as the "Gentle Voice" in the train-riding scene. I was the age Alice is supposed to be, 7-1/2, was an understudy for the starring role, and memorized all her lines. I looked like the fictional character with long blonde hair, while the girl who played her looked like the real girl with short dark hair.

[@johorrocks8927]

So glad he is still remembered and respected all these years later..should be preserved and honoured for history..

[@loppsy3891]

Ooh how exciting. I am almost better now. Thank you for your previous get well wishes. How kind. I use to live in Guildford. Lewis Carroll had a house down the road which I’m almost positive was marked with a blue plaque and there were various references to Alice in Wonderland all around Guildford. I wait in anticipation for this one. 😀

[@pennycolley721]

Like you I’m not religious but find churches fascinating. This church was was beautiful, thank you for showing it to us and also showing us the grave of Lewis Carrol. Keep up the good work

[@pauljones1350]

Love it when you say I think I found it very theatrical great show great to remember them after all this time .

[@markbumford8076]

Alice in wonder land is my favourite book of all time. It's surprising how many of our greatest comedian's drew inspiration from this wonderful book. Thank you so much

[@tamarastewart8819]

Alice in wonderland is my favourite thing ever. I love your channel. So respectful and I look forward to more videos.

[@stevenwade7466]

Fantastic that you've paid your respects to Charles Ludwig Dodgson . One of his poems starts with Alice Plesance Liddels ( the real Alice )name letters at the start of each line ,thus spelling her name Alice's parents had a holiday home in llandudno called Penmorfa built in 1862 . This much added onto property was unfortunately demolished in 2008 a tragedy ,should of been listed. I've been in Prior to demolition stood were Alice's bedroom was ,touched bannisters she touched . It was never proved Lewis Carrol visited the house this might of saved it All the best Steve .

[@susanlennard8495]

Hi Paul,what a gorgeous church yard.Thankyou Paul,I found this very interesting listening to you telling the story of Lewis Carrol.I loved reading his books when I was a child,and watching the films of Alice in wonderland and through the looking glass.Thankyou Paul I really enjoyed this video.❤️❤️❤️

[@HaydnGuite-c4s]

One of the best authors we've ever had, up there with Dahl, Dickens, Pullman, Morpurgo, Walliams, Tolkien, le Carre' and many others. I think he would've been thrilled to think that Alice in Wonderland is still popular to this day, as it still is a very charming tale. We're so lucky to have had him Thanks for everything Mr Carroll ❤ 😊

[@vinmakesthings]

The inside of that church is fabulous. How amazing to think that we have hidden treasures like this all around the country.

[@DanielRobinson-v2l]

[@Rcmodelgeeks]

As a kid back in the 70s i used to love walking around that grave yard. At the very far end, there used to be what we called a watch tower. I guess its long gone as it was falling down way back then.

[@dianechallinor2207]

[@ilanarhian]

I used to live in Guildford so I have been up there a couple of times. His sisters are buried in that cemetery too though I can't exactly remember where, not too far from him but more in the main area. And his sister's house is near the castle in the centre of Guildford. There are also two sculptures in town that are based on Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass.

[@ww2explorer]

Great video Paul, as usual very respectful and dignified.

[@dawnthompson8782]

Thank you so much for sharing all that you do

[@susangreasby8741]

Big. Thumbs up. Paul.

[@welshdragoness6667]

I live very near Llandudno where he took the inspiration for Alice in Wonderland. Dotted around the town are statues of charachters fromthe story. I did see the ruins of the actual Alice's house (yes she was based on a real girl daughter of a friend of the family) but the ruins recently demolished. So because of this sort of local connection found this very interesting and you narrate all your videos well and we appreciate your research . XoX

[@melaniemason4049]

Love your programme Paul very interesting 👍

[@crystaldance5731]

Lovely video very pretty takes my breath away ❤️😘

[@greywebs1944]

Lewis Carroll also went to Rugby School between 1846-49. And I think Lewis etched his full name or initials somewhere on the grounds ? You can tour Rugby School during summer holidays. And it's had a fare share of famous people who've studied here over the centuries. William Webb Ellis 🏉 Rupert Brooke 📚

[@haroldclarke3267]

Another great film with fantastic information thanks Paul.

The Jabberwocky as a poem was a big influence for me as a poet myself, one of my favourites too be honest that got me interested in poetry when I first started reading it then writing it.

[@paulmoloney4160]

My All time favourite book from my childhood…Alice in Wonderland, with second half as through the looking glass…mine was printed in 1951, and ive. Tried to preserve it over the years, with brown paper covering the front and back hard covers….I love the illustrations! …. He had a fantastic imagination to write such fun books…just love it! Havnt seen the film but I do realise they havr to cut a lot of tge book out or it would take hours to show! Thankyou for another interesting visit Paul…..I agree it wasn’t as well kept as the majority you have shown us to date …but the little church made up for it! I didn’t hear whether Lewis Carroll had gifted much of it or not! ?.. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😘🙋‍♀️❤️🙏
