oldie is there a bell tower here or no it's not is there it's the memory of edward foyle nelson priest fourth son of thomas earl nelson he died in 1859 from a fever an over exertion in discharge of his duties as croat of wantage berkshire his body rests in the vault of this chapel head can't we read that that's quite yeah today the attack upon sebastopol on that day his body rests on the heights of the crimea where he notably fell in the performance of his duty may he rest in peace wow but yeah this is stunning guys this whole door which obviously i will shut back up but it's beautiful wow

do that way because you're going to now go forward out yeah do you want to push no because i'm going to find a difficult game out that way because it was easy coming in because that was that yeah it's not too much for drop plus here you can like lay on that bit can't you turn yourself away go on it there he goes [Music] i was determined mate he nearly ripped his shirt off though at the same time is it yeah it was a just just a walker or oh is it going to be love tlc or is it well we hope so a friend of mine his wife was baptized here because he ended up being a roman catholic church briefly and she was baptized brahmacari in this church and that must have been in the latest 40s wow but uh since then it's well it's pretty derelict yeah which is very sad plenty of information available brilliant but uh well as i say come back in five years and hopefully it's a different story now i'm just gonna have a little look in the ground so now that i know the history i'm gonna have a look for some more graves stuff like that oh there's an anchor yeah well spotted mate look at this so that is way i'll pray for the soul of mary diana wife of third of nelson so this one is look albert horatio

i don't know we've got one by me i think it's something to do with um let's do something witchcraft is it we've we've got a yew tree in my church thousand years old they used to put stuff underneath the when they planted it you should put a coin or something underneath you know you get rid of evil spirits i know i don't know anyone could tell me that i'm just guessing you and your coins yeah we've got no graves down this end of the cemetery but i'm quite shocked there me too mate when i read that i was like hang on what mate this is unreal elizabeth blanche wife of herbert horatio voy count trafalgar and daughter of frederick born 1860 died in 1935. so this one charles clement tudway first wife oh there's herbert horatio that void count trafalgar third l nelson look at that stained

history of that place and look at the damp coming through the wall down here it's shocking in it really should be well looked after considering painted glass the glass wow yeah they've bricked this one up look it's a razor wire around the top so i think one more well we have got some white on the bottom actually uh jesus died i can't make that one out guys and then there's another tomb there
