Just came upon this channel, and it's fantastic. You're a wealth of information for your local communities during the 18th and 19th centuries. Looking forward to more of your content.

I'll help out. If u need volunteers

The graveyard next to Bottom Church has recently been renovated, I went to look while they were doing the work, it has one of the oldest graves in the area and it also has a nice stone monument with the masonic symbol engraved on it In Sedgley they are currently clearing an old cemetery that is accessible via a dirt road nestled between some houses, there's still lots to clear but it's getting there. I also recommend going to St John's Church in Kates Hill, it's being restored by volunteers and they need all the support they can get, one of their graves houses a murder victim with the murder named on the stone.

Thanks I'll consider visiting

Thanks for the video. A number of Welsh surnames here. I wonder if it came about because of the canals? I heard the canals ran right up to Cardiff.

Thanks jayne !

Great vid 👍. I’m from Dudley. Have you seen St Audits channel where he caught them smashing up gravestones behind a church in Henley Stoke on Trent, to make way for a mosque. Some stones dating back to 18th century.

Brilliant 👏 thanks for info

The anatomy act was passed in 1834, mostly before that though a medical doctor would pay a certain amount for the body while the students would pay the doctor to watch the corpse being dissected. After that medical institutions needed a license from the home secretary. I have a victorian anatomy book which is dated 1853 , it is highly detailed and extremely fascinating. No doubt it's from that period of medical science and part of the resurrectionists so to speak.

How dumb are evil spirits compared to you? I like the way tarot readers repeat all questions 3x to the 'invisible' entities that haunt you. My view is they know what I'm capable of, and wouldn't dare think to cross me. When I reach eternity, I'd find out and repay them for ever and ever. Duh
