Thanks Dan. Very interesting place. Bet the guy in the Churchyard has many tales to tell.

Another truly remarkable walk! Love the scenery (especially from the bluff), the Viking graves, and the church! Your walks are fabulous! Thanks for taking us along.

That grounds keeper was full of knowledge! James Jones really didn’t like himself very much to put Failure on his own stone. Although it seems like a future prediction since he wasn’t even buried with his two wives. Really awesome video - the ending with the chapel and Viking grave was really neat.

another great video, cool ruins, what a beautiful location, the man you talked to was interesting, thanks

Wow the church is in pretty good shspe

Great video Dan thank you for including the lady bird! When my son was living he would send pictures of ones he found because he knew I love them 💜

This was freaking cool❣️I’m amazed at how old everything is being from USA we are such a young nation. I’m determined to get to that area and just explore it all. So nice to hear you so light hearted my friend♥️ truly loved every moment.

I think this may just be my favorite walk to date. Fabulous stones. Thank you

Great video Dan, and thank you so much for sharing that beautiful church.

What an absolutely fantastic place Dan. So much history and great to see. Thanks for showing us around.👍

2:19 on So smart of you to ask the man who tends the grounds--for sure, he would know, and he did! AND he provided an unexpected history lesson, too! Superb! :D 5:34 Weird, top-heavy numbers--that's a pair of 4s, so less weird! 😅😅 You can just make out the name JAMES JONES at the very base of the monument---so he DOES have a marker, albeit one not erected exactly where he was laid to rest. 'POET - PHILOSOPHER - FAILURE' 6:07 It looks as if there was some sort of statue or cross to mark his burial, separate from his wives, between two other graves---otherwise, why would that block be there, in the middle, where he lies? 11:31 The same 'Rector' mentioned on this plaque, is name-checked again in that Latin inscription you noticed, at 12:35! Even though this stone appears ancient, it is not: the years quoted are the same ones mentioned on the earlier plaque, '1863-4'. 20:20 And there he is, again. Man gets around. 12:50 Don't you love steps like this, worn away by centuries of passing feet? 😊😊 14:24 Uh. Oh. MOREcambe Bay, Heysham. Yep. 17:07 In spite of the prominent, prevalent NT signage, going through the trouble of creating 'ROCK-CUT GRAVES' seems a lot of work, when a burial in the earth is both easier and less time-consuming. Strange. The view from this site was lovely, expansive! A Dead Good Walk!

Well, even if he was a failure, he has a beautiful resting place. This cemetery is so well maintained. Another amazing tour.

What an interesting tour. Love the scenery and the history behind this place Thank you

Excellent walk & country quiet!

Stunningly beautiful setting......

Good job , I like seeing these small graveyards 👍 . This one is really cool

What a real gem of a place .both chapels are beautiful and poor unlucky James Jones forever named and remembered as a failure. He couldn’t have been liked much by the person who had his stone carved.

Wow, what a place. The view, the stones. One of the best I've seen you visit mate. 👏

“What’s your name friendly grave digger?” “Jones sir, the name’s Jones,” as he fades away into a sudden mist.

Interesting what the man said! I think this cemetery is very beautiful. Thank you for this walk👍

Beautiful spot, interesting story

The Anglo Saxon chapel is fascinating. Love me pre-industrial history. And even more so ancient stuff. Thanks for that

Thank you, a very interesting one, this one 👍

Nothing better than watching an incredible video like this, with ancient burial places from the Viking era and then sitting down to a dinner of fish and chips! I loved every piece of this video. Another epic production by Dan! ♥️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

That whole area around the old chapel is fascinating! Beautiful place

That was a good one. I liked all the stone work…

Wow! That was amazing history! I learned something new with your journey everytime. Thanks for sharing...😊.

That gravestone always struck me as an alarming reminder that my life experience is rather unoriginal. Never knew the story!

Interesting story. Looks like they take good care of the cemetery too 😊

Thank you, Dan, for the tour and the history info. I am so in awe of the beautiful green grass! Blessings until next time!

Kept expecting a hobbit to pop out and invite you to eleveses. Just beautiful. Those troughs cut into the rock- fascinating, I've never seen anything like them. Thank you! Hope you stayed warm. ps. 8 Hobbits wide.

What a beautiful graveyard!

Oh my goodness. This is, I think, my favorite - and I love ALL your walks. I think it was sooooo cool you got to be the only one in the chapel, and I loved the chat with the gentleman at the beginning, sharing his/their research with you. Maximum respect to the grounds/knowledge keepers. The images of the people in the watery graves! Can you imagine what their crosses must've been like?! Jesus! Just breathtaking. And THEN off you go for fish and chips?? So casually - like it ain't no thing. Dear Godzilla, I'm salivating right now. Craving fish n chips in Santa Fe, NM at 9:30 at night. Yeah, right. 😂 😂 I may as well be on Mars. Cheers, Dan. We SO appreciate you. 🙏🏻🌲💚🌶️🌞☃️👍🏼

Very cool! Thanks 😊

This is fantastic !!! What an impressive location for a cemetery.. .... impressive and very beautiful ❤. Thank you 🙏

Thank you Dan for another great walk. There's so much interesting history surrounded by beauty in your part of the world, it's amazing.

I think the ladybird got kicked out the church or somebody's house. They normally shelter during winter months to keep warm 🐞 I think between Oct-Feb ? Nice place I could just imagine ghostly figures in the water of the Rock Cut Graves 👻

Fascinating story

I heard a rumour from a Heysham resident , that the rock graves were the work of a Victorian prankster.

That sounds fun, I’m anti religion so all that cross stuff puts me off a bit, like the thought that someone is doing a funny a bit more 😏👌

Wow what a truly amazing and beautiful place that church was and what a gorgeous view from those graves you really are doing a first class job in making it so interesting in explaining things and keeping us all enthralled by your travels to these places you really deserve far more subscribers and thank you for all the hours and hard work that you do it's very much appreciated 👍

He was a successful failure. What a wonderous location.

James Jones was part of the team that layed out the Washington Circle on Pennsylvania Avenue Interesting fact 😁 Yet another great offering to thank you for 👍

Absolutely beautiful place, thank you!!!

Awesome! Nice to have tour guide sometimes. You'd the best one though.]

To me a cemetery and graveyard is the same thing. I South Africa it's a graveyard (begrafplaas) direct translation so we have it as a cemetery in English.

Thanks!

5:30 It reads 44, not 11. The "l" of the fours are deeply carved, but the "+" of the fours are more shallow. Lichen has grown over the "+" areas of the fours, making them a bit difficult to read.

doh lol. I can see it now you said

12:35 I can read a little bit of this. It looks like: Johannes Royds RECTORIS means 'leader of or director of'. TUNC means 'at that time'. Then some numerals: CCC=300 LXIII=63 There are more before and after but I can't quite make them out. 20:15 The plaque also mentions Rev. John Royds. So that carving at 12:35 must be his resting place.

I think my new camera is paying off, seems easier to read when I watch it back than with my actual eyes ha. Thanks for providing the extra info

Why did someone need to put his failures on his tombstone?! Let's have some respect for the dead!!!

Can’t find it? Send my husband. He can find it in 10 minutes. I send him out holding cards with names to find written on it! 😂

Was that a orb and sound at 23 26🤔

wonder why his grave has no marker

🪦🪦🚶🏻🚶🏻⭐️⭐️
