The graves are so neat and orderly. I love the mausoleum of the Prince and Princess of the Salteens, the church and the stone wall, so much work to construct them. That monument of the couple with their photos was beautiful and I love what their children wrote. Thank you for another spectacular vlog ❤.
Thank you Sue, this is such an interesting grave yard with lots of history and stories. The church ruin is so nice. I didn't think it was possible to live to 140yrs, but that's what it looked like to me aswel. Very enjoyable thanks again 💙
Beautiful kept old Cemetery and new of course The Church is still in amazing considering it’s age.None of the new buildings will survive this long..Interesting story about Prince Michael and his princess ,what a fairytale.And why not ..We always see some surprises like the couple who had been together for 70 years .Amazing as some people don’t even live that long sadly.And the old Headstone with the Grandfather who was 140..Makes you wonder if he was some miracle ,or maybe it was a bit of guesswork it seems rather old for those days.But you had to read it a few times lol!.An amazing adventure all around this time Sue.Thank you for taking us along ..Love n Light 🥰
The parish church of St Mary's, Bannow, is all that remains of a once thriving medieval town. The fortified church was probably founded by monks from Canterbury in the latter part of the 12th century. In 1245 CE the church was under the Cistercians at Tintern Abbey and was still held by them at it's suppression in 1538 and according to records it was still impropriate to Tintern in 1615. The church is situated on a relatively flat headland at the mouth of Bannow Bay. Robert FitzStephen, the first Norman invader, landed at Bannow Bay in May 1169 CE.
A beautiful place so neat and organised. The stone walls of the remains of the Church are a work of Art, each stone carefully placed by someone's hands and lasted this long. The graves you read out especially the couple with the pictures and poem from their children was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing 💕🇦🇺
what a great day to tour the graves and the church ruins and the grandfather who lived 140 years old that sounds like biblical times. Thank you for showing us the beautiful countryside
Ahh thanks so much Claudia, I'm always worried when I up load that people won't like them, so comments like yours keep me going, really appreciate it ❤️🍀🇮🇪
My Grandfathers hat badge is an Irish Harp. I have it here with his medals. He was a soldier with the London Irish Rifles in WWII, died from his wounds. It was lovely to see the harp in this one Sue. Such a beautiful place.
What a spick and span little cemetery!! Who would have thought that it would have SOOOOOO many fascinating stories just waiting to be uncovered??!! Take care and stay safe everyone!! XXXX
It sure did look to me to say 140 years, which is an amazing accomplishment back then!! This place is so well maintained, thank you so much for sharing all of it with us 💗
I love the story of Prince Michael and Princess Anna. That’s what fairytales are made from and the couple that have their pictures of them when they started out together and year’s later still in love. Just beautiful
Michael Neale was not a Royal Prince. He claimed that his Christian name was Prince Michael. However, it was rumoured that he changed his name, by deed poll, to Prince Michael. He changed his wife's name to Princess Anne. His son was called Prince. The mausoleum is, to me, as vulgar as Michael Neale snr. That Church is beautiful. Again, so much history in one place. I just love seeing the graveyard so well maintained.
Yes you're correct he changed his name by deed poll he even held a ceremony on the island, its a story I suppose, all that's on the island now are birds and wildlife 🤔❤️🇮🇪🍀
what a lovely place, gave me good vibes, my birthday is on the 14th January, dont forget eh lol,. I hope i live that long LOL. In those days many didnt know when they where where born, so the fella probably told a bit of a tale, but fair play on him lol, again thanks for the adventure xxx. But yes i see 140 yrs.
Hey Sue, a great video of an awesome church n graveyard. Its interesting how theres a few more recent graves mixed in with those thatre very old. Youre right re the church bldg, you look at it n see how each stone was laid in place..impressive then and now! I looked real close at the gravestone of the 140 yr old grandfather, and it really does look like 140. Thats mind boggling to me too, even currently you just dont hear of that, id like to know the exact details there. Great work Sue! :)
@@SerenitySueGraveyards On the one hand there wasnt any of advances in modern medicine or medication back then, but then on the other hand there wasnt any junk food either. Still hard to wrap my head around this. Just in general in any era, ive never heard of anyone getting up there to 140....ive recall 115 or thereabouts but thats it.
Oldest I've see is 100yrs old but that's it, I still find it amazing but even if it was a mistake or whatever its pretty cool to see that on a headstone 😊❤️🇮🇪🍀
Hi Sue incredible to see someone lived to 140years Is there any record of burials for the cemetery in the parish might be able to get more information on that person May they all rest in peace Thank you for the wonderful videos God bless

I’ve seen 104 that’s the oldest. But 140? Maybe the chisel slipped. Lol Great find. Beautiful cemetery and ruins. A very serene walk today indeed.

Thanks Geraldine, I don't think there's many records for graveyards in Ireland, maybe a list of names if lucky 🍀🇮🇪❤️
It sure looked like it was 140 years to me. Can’t even imagine. 😳
I popped a post up there I found about the age, check it out see what you think 🤔🤔
I see 140 years I thought people couldn't live that long in the 1700s
Isn't it crazy, now was it a Mistake 🤔
Thank you Sue
Thanks for watching Connie 🍀🇮🇪❤️
