EXPLORING AN ABANDONED CHURCH AND FEELING A SENSE OF LOSS, GONE FOREVER

Ойын-сауық

No roadway leads up to this church, however if you hop a gate nearby its a short stroll up through the field to the old Leney Church.
Built in 1817, the church and graveyard are now in a terrible state of neglect. The inside of the church is completely overgrown, but the pillars and remnants of the stained glass windows look haunting through the branches. The only reference I could find about the church comes from a book written in 1908 “Leney was in very indifferent repair, a dirty earthen floor, the Communion table not railed in, no utensils.” (The Diocese of Meath by John Healy). At the altar the old handrails and bits of tile give a hint of how beautiful this place once was.
Taken from visions of the past.
Today this beautiful graveyard is overgrown, the church although very beautiful will soon fall, a notice on the gates is a cop out, a lazy wildlife sanctuary or just a notice of we can't be bothered.
you decide!

    I don't want to think badly of the caretakers, but I agree with you Sue. Being lazy, and then calling it, "God's Garden", seems like a cop-out to me. If my loved one was buried there, I'd be upset. Enough of that, let's talk about the breathtakingly GORGEOUS church!! I was in awe! Thank you so very much for walking through the fields to share this with us! I was mesmerized by it's beauty. Oh, those stained glass windows, the arches, and the alter! Perfection!

    What a beautiful old church. Nothing makes me sadder than a decommissioned church. We build a home for God to dwell, and then because of the changing population and finances, the church is closed and abandoned. Cemeteries may be maintained for awhile but after 200 years there is nobody left to remember the departed and no one wants to pay to maintain it. I guess all things go back to God and nature in the end. Thank you, Sue, for all your trouble to take us there.

    Hi Sue and GV. I completely agree with you on the cemetery. Maybe just a section of it for conservation purposes. People bury their loved ones in the hopes that their names and monuments will be seen in years to come. I fear this beautiful place will be nothing but forest in 50 years. You won't even know there's a graveyard there, and that would be a shame. As far as the church goes, it's a magical place. Just gorgeous! Wouldn't you have loved to see it when it was whole? Thank you for taking us to this lovely pastoral place.

    Pure and simple laziness! From the little I found, with older photos, the church was de-consecrated in 1985, but the grounds are still being used. I'd have no hope of getting there in my wheelchair, lol. Inside was breathtaking Sue, paint still in place, those side aisle archways, beautifully coloured stained glass, and did I see a small rose window above the altar section? It's sad that it can't be preserved. Anywho, thank you for a lovely little adventure. Take care and be safe. Deb of Oz XXX

    This place is absolutely beautiful. The first look, yes just enchanting. The arches are amazing. Yes, it is easier to let the land go back to what it was. So sad because it sure is the easier path.

    The church is awesome! The stain glass, the sanctuary, just awesome! The condition of the graveyard is another matter. The word " lazy " does come to mind. But maybe there is not enough able bodied men to really take care of the grounds properly. Great video, thank you very much Sue and GV. Take care 😊

    First time you cited a Rooney gravesite and wouldn't you know, it had the same name as my father, William Rooney. I feel redeemed now. The church with all the beautiful colored stain glass windows was awesome. This is Arleen Rooney here.

    When families quit visiting due to generations gone by; then nature should be able to take over. People are encroaching on natural areas. It is ashes to ashes dust to dust. We need our pollinators. This seems to be a wonderful area; still serene and beautiful! Wilderness is special.

    There may some people of your ilk who might dedicate the time, effort, and money to voluntarily mow the grass and cut back the hedges to expose all these lovely graveside memorials such that people came better appreciate them. I'm not holding my breath trying to find these devoted individuals, it has to be said. 🤣 Yet. neglected or not...these places are so beautiful and calming. Mahalo for bringing out the beauty of Ireland. Much aloha to you two!

    I'm in agreement with you Sue. Letting the graveyard go to rack and ruin is not God's garden in my opinion. To me its always sad when a Church becomes abandoned. So gorgeous what remains. I can imagine all the pews and perhaps a glorious pipe organ playing the wonderful old Hymns.
