The covered entrance to the churchyard is called a Litch/Lytchgate. It is where the traditional funerals began in the Victorian era. Some have bench seats inside the porch way for the heads of the grieving family members to wait to lead the procession.

[@visitingdeadadventures]

Do u ever read the head stones like i do in my channel ..would love to see the dates and names on some of the head stones from there ?

[@spitfirekev]

This was one of my first videos Johno, so I was still experimenting. On my newer one's, I'm focusing on the information on the stones now. Plus I try to find some history on any of them. Should you ever come to the Isle of Wight, I would with pleasure take you to it. It's my favourite one to visit. I'm trying to get inside & hopefully film inside. There are some very Royal & important resting places there.

[@spitfirekev]

Sorry Tony, I for some reason, though Johno wrote this comment. But if you do want some more from here, I would with pleasure go back and do a new upto date one.

[@visitingdeadadventures]

@@spitfirekev no i would not want u to go out of your way just for me ,but when u are back in that area if u decide to film some more that I'll watch but I thank you just the same

[@spitfirekev]

When the weather is better, I'll be going back. As now I've learnt more things & a lot more research. This is my favourite graveyard, of all I've visited. So it will be a pleasure going back and really showing who is there.

[@visitingdeadadventures]
