Abandoned Graveyard. River Severn Bewdley, Worcestershire
Exploring Dowles Graveyard or St Andrews Church. The church that stood on this site was built in the 1700’s & was eventually demolished in 1956. It was built on top of a Norman Chapel.
This place was beautiful & it was a real joy to explore.
Susan Wowen - the Bewdley Witch is reputedly buried here in an unmarked grave. There’s also a rare example of a mortsafe.
Both my partner & myself have lived in this area all our lives & passed by this place 100’s of times & didn’t even know it was here until a couple of days ago.

I used to go there when I worked on the Severn valley railway in the early 1990s , strumming my guitar. Peaceful place just a shame its not looked after 😢
An excellent video and thanks for uploading it! I haven't been to this place for over 10 years, but it was fascinating. The graffiti in the remains of the church changes every so often. When I went, it was a sinister image of a rabbit, going through 4 stages from alive to being a pile of bones. I noticed there's still a bit of that old graffiti there, but most of it's been covered up now, from the look of it.

@@pennyredproductions Thanks, I'll give that a watch in a moment!
We camped there as a kid once our parents unaware.
Such a shame that no one has restored these stones. 😢
Would be nice if someone compiled & published a list of (discernible) names.
I knew someone buried there hope you don't think I'm mad but I saw him many years later cross the road while driving in front of me and disappear into the forest it was definitely him wearing his long black coat and black hat, his name was Fred Smith

I bet that was spooky. I would’ve loved that! It’s been cleared up a lot since this was taken. They’ve restored some of the headstones & cleared away some of the foliage. I mistakenly thought it was ‘abandoned’ as it was massively overgrown and I’d never been there before despite living in Kidderminster all my life. Attracted quite a bit of negativity for that. I personally liked the fact that nature was reclaiming this area, it added an extra quality to it. I guess in some ways it’s nice that the gravestones have been repaired though
SERCRET ???...Nice Video mate

Thank you. Maybe ‘Secret’ was a poor choice of words, although it was unknown to both myself & my partner & we’ve both lived in this area all our lives. I also shared it to Facebook & a few other locals were unfamiliar with it
