so
guys welcome to another dead good walk uh today we're in mort lake or maybe
it's pronounced more lake i'm not sure um we're at saint mary magdalens church
it's about nine o'clock in the morning on a sunday and the service is at 9 30 so i thought i'd come
along and uh before everyone gets here and come for a little look for richard burton's tent too
oh this feels really peaceful it's lovely
i can see richard burton's tomb there in the background i'm so excited i just want to walk
straight to it but i've got to be respectful and uh look at other people's graves first
never seen one like this before it's like casket
style isn't it or a like a luggage case or something
can't see any inscription on this one it's probably a memorial for a group of people
this is leo cox and corporal frederick cox who died in france
all right i can't bear it for much longer i'm too excited let's go look at richard's tomb
so this is richard burton and he's in there next to his wife isabelle burton uh richard was a
british explorer uh a writer scholar and a soldier as well and he's fighting for his travels and
explorations of asia africa and the americas he's a very intelligent man he could speak 29 languages
african asian and mostly european languages he's probably best known for traveling to
mecca in disguise and that was at a time where europeans were forbidden to access uh and if they
were if they got caught the sentence would be death so quite a courageous man as well
and what's incredible about this tomb is you can climb up these ladders
and have a look at all the things they collected on their travels together
and you can see uh rich is there on the right-hand side and isabelle's on the left
there are some pictures of the inside online and i'll um
i'll throw them up in the video so you can have a closer look
so
so we'll go check out the rest of the cemetery and i come back so i'm
not sure if you guys are getting a good view with the sun on it so
hopefully it goes behind a cloud and we can have a better look um i think i saw a
mausoleum down the other end as well when i looked on google so we'll go check that out
this one reads mary elizabeth gray our dear mother
sorry about the playing noises again in this video it seems to be a common theme doesn't it
oh so this is a lot bigger than i thought it looks uh looks a lot bigger than it is on google
i've never seen two pillars uh together before like that symbolizing the life cut short of course
i think this definitely is a mausoleum isn't it i did think it might be like a shed or something
game henry compt de vezzler so he's like he was a count h7 wow
let's go around the back and see if we can uh respectfully look in the windows
they're well rearranged they think somebody had ocd whoever did them
a bit of old iron work there on the floor
see if we can see anything it's going to be too dark i can see a coffin there
something on top of it as well some flowers possibly
can't see anything through that one rest in peace young gay monre
there's a lot of celtic crosses here it's probably the most i've ever seen
in a graveyard i guess you'd expect that from a from a roman catholic church wouldn't you
let's have a look behind this tree just in case we miss anything exciting
nothing too exciting but rest in peace margarite
this is a cool one is it such a good design i love the black corporal giuseppe stokes
little jesus on the cross there hiding in the bushes thankfully it's not burning
it's got this copper sacred heart of jesus there for john hoban or hoban
francis cherringham
so i'll head back to uh richard burton's tent tomb now
just see if we can get that look inside if the if the sun goes in for a minute
so
is this some gonna go in for us
a little bit let's have a look anyway
hopefully you've got a good view
i think the windows do a clean
so there it is again bedouin tent tomb
almost looks like you could just pull the curtains and walk in doesn't it
i know it does open um i think it's open once a year
so you can actually go inside and have a look so maybe i can come back and do that
there's stairs there going down into a basement
oh probably a crypt isn't it it's definitely going to be a [ __ ] down there
well i think i'll wrap this one up now guys i think we've covered all the interesting
bits you can find in here um i just want to say thanks to all my new subscribers
