BROMPTON CEMETERY AND CATACOMBS

Ойын-сауық

Brompton Cemetery (originally the West of London and Westminster Cemetery)is a London cemetery, managed by The Royal Parks, in West Brompton in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It is one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries. Established by Act of Parliament and laid out in 1839, it opened in 1840, originally as the West of London and Westminster Cemetery. Consecrated by Charles James Blomfield, Bishop of London, in June 1840, it is one of Britain's oldest and most distinguished garden cemeteries. Some 35,000 monuments, from simple headstones to substantial mausolea, mark more than 205,000 resting places. The site includes large plots for family mausolea, and common graves where coffins are piled deep into the earth. It also has a small columbarium, and a secluded Garden of Remembrance at the northern end for cremated remains. The cemetery continues to be open for burials. It is also known as an urban haven for nature.

    It was great meeting you man. I'm glad you got a photo of Bonomi's grave. I remembered it just as we parted and didn't get a chance to find you and tell you it was near the mausoleum. Really enjoyed this video :)

    This cemetery is super cool 😎, and super huge! The headstones, mausoleums, monuments are beautiful! I wonder if, because the cemetery is so huge, 🤔 the cemetery management cannot afford a large enough grounds crew department to keep it up, hence the overgrowth. Thank you very much GV, for a wonderful walking tour, and for sending me the link for this video. Take care.

    beautiful video! i was interested in the "Egyptologist" charlatan....around the turn of the last century Egypt was all the rage, with Cooks Tours carrying the less wealthy up and down the Nile, while the well to do rode in their own boats called Dahabeeyas, a most civilized means of travel if one had the money. Egyptian treasures were bought and sold on the black market and were carried back to Europe and America, where mummy unwrapping parties were popular. Ramesses 1 was found in a small museum in Niagra Falls in Canada after 140 years, and was returned to Egypt in 2003. He was greeted by a bagpipe band wearing sand colored plaid kilts playing Yankee Doodle Dandy rather badly.... It was popular among the wealthy visitors to hire an archeologist (a fledgling science) to do a bit of digging; one talented and fairly ethical archeologist was Howard Carter, who was hired by Lord Carnarvon to scratch around in The Valley Of The Kings, that ancient cemetery of mostly robbed tombs. well, Carter stumbled upon none other than Tutankhamun, Nefertiti's son in law, who married his half sister etc, etc.....Carnarvon died from a septic mosquito bite, or the Curse Of The Mummy's Tomb, or perhaps he looked into the future and croaked when he caught an episode of Downton Abbey, filmed in his ancestral home, Highclere Castle (i actually like the show, even if he didn't)

    Get a locksmith. Open that up for you right away. That's an old lock. Not complicated like today's keys. Be interesting to see if the inside is designed like a time machine? Is she in there at all? If not, we know it works! Check up on that one? It is a good idea to check in on all these vaults and tombs. If a coffin has decayed away people could break in and take the bones and valuables. Animals go in there and take the bones. All these cemeteries need to be looked after. Looks as thought they leave them to ruin? God Bless you!
