Even more awesome the second time! Beautiful effigy for the knight. Shame they are keeping rubbish in the church ruins, hopefully they will clean it out soon!! Thank you!❤
At least it looks as though they've collected the leaves and rubbish in one place...seems someone tried to be as neat as possible. Let's hope they came back later to take it away!
I found the translation of the Latin inscription: It can be translated as follows: Here lies Nathaniel Fox, of Rathreagh, founder of this church, eldest son and heir of Patrick Fox of Moyvore in Co. Westmeath, who had as wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Walter Hussey of Moyhussey Knight. By whom he had 8 sons and 5 daughters, of whom 8 sons and 3 daughters survived. Patrick, son of the aforesaid Nath., sole heir, had as wife, Barbara, daughter of Lord Patrick Plunkett, Baron of Dunsany. The same Nath. and Elizabeth, lived for 25 years as man and wife, and he died at Rathreagh,2nd of Feb. A.D. 1634. Aged 46.
If one could go back in time, wouldn’t it be grand to visit there to see everything it it’s full glory? Thank You Most Kindly for another Lovely visit! Many Blessings! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
This was extremely interesting with the knight and his sarcophagus. Really nicely done; it seems the whole Fox family is buried within the remains of the old church. Love all the old graves you read from the 1600's. Beautifully done GV. Thank you. ♥️🙏☘️
I enjoyed your video just as much the second time around. The church ruins are very interesting, so is the foxe family burial place. The knight's tomb is supercool! I hope it can be restored one day. Thank you very much GV and Sue, for a very interesting video. 😀
I found this video so interesting with the old graves of the Fox family within the church ruins, the knight’s resting place was stunning snd so intricately carved with his sarcophagus. I really hope that rubbish is taken out and the area tidied up of weeds. It should be respected. Thanks to you and Sue for a great video xx
I think people are trying to be as respectful as the environment will allow. They want to keep the graves tidy by removing detritus, and keeping it out of plain view but there is no garbage receptacle for them to place it into. The graveyard should provide a container so people can keep the graves tidied up as best they can. I love the expression on the face of the little curly-haired angel. She looks a bit surprised ❤
Thank you for sharing another great video 📹 I really like it when you point things out it sure makes it alot more enjoyable take care and have a wonderful day
These old churches left to rot away is so sad. It seems to me that if a church has failed, The building should be given to someone. These historic buildings should not be left to rot away. So very sad. If the church was given to a person/family for free it would be kept up most likely.
Expired is a now old fshioned term for dying. Like a jug of milk that's spoiled and finished when it reaches its expiration date; it's over. It comes from two Latin words, Ex meanng out or out of and pirare to breath. So it means more or less out-of-breath. And when you're permanantly out of breath you certainly are dead. The word was used a lot in legal documents in its day.; Gentler way of saying "Aunt Minnie is dead.".
The 'surprised" round face was heavily featured in New England in the US. They sometimes had wings attached. It represents the soul's awe and wonder at approaching Heaven. The style is almost childlike in its simplicity.
Its fine to watch it twice i will again say i never have heard of expired on a headstone either. Oh you saw expired again and i just started laughing. Imagine two headstones with expired?
How were people buried with vertical headstones inside the church? Were they buried after the church was abandoned? I know Westminster Cathedral has thousands of people buried in its interior, but so many of the graves have flat stones in the floor and walls.
It’s very nice that people bring flowers and such to place on loved ones graves but, PLEASE TAKE YOUR GARBAGE OUT WITH YOU!!! Rude!!! That drives me nuts, clean up after yourselves!!! Just my opinion!! Another Great video! 🪬🩷🧿🍀🪦🍀🧿🩷🪬
When I'm gone I just want to be forgotten. I have no family and people that knew me will also forget in a short period of time. I was never supposed to exist
John Dalton headstone about 3:50 into the the video. Listen to something that sounds like a blurred voice… just before you get to the part about it being a tall headstone. I’m not sure???
So when they have one tombstone with parents and children, is it assumed the children may have been cremated? Was cremation popular in those times? And just put it on top of the parent grave? Just wondering. Several tombstones I see have several names alot
How fortunate you are to have so many interesting and very old cemeteries to visit. How about giving us an incite into tombstone architecture and symbols and also epitaphs. Also where is the most coveted part of the churchyard for burial ( N E W S ). And last when did humans start burying bodies in churches. I have seen some with dates in the 1300’s
I really enjoy the very old graves. I try to imagine just how different their lives were then ours today, and what life was like back then.
I wonder also. But it had to be hard living unless you were wealthy. So many diseases cold hunger hard backtracking work.

@@GraveVisitations I know sometimes it's TMI but I love you all! 🤟🥰 PS. My children already know I'm full of useless information. ☺

Thanx GV...lovely cemetery and church.❤😊
I am so glad you don't walk on the graves. I don't either ❤❤❤

That was so interesting..R.I.P the Fox family..Loving your cap GV 😅❤
This is a beautiful graveyard.❤❤❤
That was brilliant even the second time... The knight is very cool
I enjoyed your video just as much the second time around. The church ruins are very interesting, so is the foxe family burial place.

My friend, this video was so interesting that I watched it twice. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi GV Steve from England. There was some marvellous headstones . All the foxes buried inside the old church , that is interesting,
What an amazing effigy,shame about the missing pieces
What a lovely graveyard
My name is Mary I'm in Canada I'm a nurse at a hospital and when a patient dies we use the word expired
I personally don't like the word used in the circumstances of a death

Very old place love on old
cemetery 🪦🪦 Old church aswell
Watching again! Great video!
Thanks again!
What a beautiful place❤

Great video , many doing the same here in England, very interesting, expired ? now that's a new one ,,
Hi GV .Greetings from cornwall
Thanks for coming
That was good and I think that was the oldest grave I have seen. Old flowers and such should not be stored in a place like that…
With that old grave being 1634 in the church has me wondering how old that church is and was it already abandoned when he was buried there?

2nd time watching it GV. Great video and a lovely place. I think it's disgusting and disrespectful to dump rubbish on someone else's resting place.
Thanks for watching again
Amazing to see a knight's grave. A lot of very old graves there. Love these old graveyards. Thanks GV.
Thanks Pamela it was cool to see it in person
wonder if that family is connected to mine.. 🤔
interesting video as always 😁
Still love U ! Awesome place, really nice to discover 💖

Will have to start over after
Love the old churches and the windows who a great place to rest forever
Video so nice I watched (and liked it) twice! 😊👍
Sorry,had to leave as had to talk to my granddaughter as she was walking home in the dark by herself.
Great video thanks
Thanks James

(Can anyone see my expiration date?)
Hello 🙂
When I'm gone I just want to be forgotten. I have no family and people that knew me will also forget in a short period of time. I was never supposed to exist
We love you here ❤️
That’s so sad ❤️
Interesting to see so long inscriptions. In Sweden every letter costs a lot of money.

All buried in one plot

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊
What is the oldest grave you've found?
Early 1600'S
First time I didn't ask how the Knight died? And the first Angel may have been for his girl because I thought it looked like a young girl.
No idea how he died unfortunately
Haha, Sorry great video. It posted to the wrong channel. Sorry about that.
No problem 😊
Seen this one before is it a repeat ????
Had To take it down and put it back up
@@GraveVisitations Why ???
