An episode about famous death masks would be fantastic.

I just love this woman. Her erudition is phenomenal, traversing history, social science and plenty more. Keep up the good work!
-
Yes, please, to death masks and more cemetery tours, including further forays into East and West Highgate. Fascinating as ever! Thanks, Jessica!
-
This graveyard is so enchanting with the natural foliage
-
Death Masks.. YES please. And the west side video in the rain and gloom.. So morbidly beautiful. I found the video really peaceful to watch. Amazing two part series, yes I just binged them... Thank you for an amazing tour!
-
Would love more videos like this in the style of walking and narrating in places like cemeteries! Great work as always
-
Please I'd love to see so much more, the magnificent 7, Paris, anywhere. And definitely death mask. Love all you do. Thank you Jessica ❤
-
This seriously remains my fave underrated channel! Your content is so entertaining!!
-
Hell yeah. Wasn't expecting another video so soon. Fascinating.

Hello Jessica! I’m from just north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I love your videos. Especially the cemetery tours. I walk cemeteries here and check out the unusual headstones. I also like to find the oldest ones and ones that no one visits anymore. I had a friend that put a thought in my mind that I always remember when I’m looking for forgotten graves. “When a person dies, they die twice. Once when they physically die. The second is the last time someone mentions their name.” So, at these forgotten graves I read them aloud to remember them and I try to leave something behind so the next person that passes that grave knows someone cares.

I LOVE this picture at 30:21, it's so rare to see pictures of people from this era showing emotional expression
-
Adams, there's a frood who really knows where his towel is!😊💗
-
Wonderful video Jessica many thanks I'm very much looking forward to anything you produce on death masks I find them very interesting especially the ones of notorious criminals. Off to buy you a coffee in appreciation of all the work you put into your videos. Best wishes Oliver

The east side is my favourite, west is ok but east has got an ambience that just floors you.
-
The rainy weather tour really enhanced the benign neglect west cemetery whereas the sunny weather seems perfect for the east cemetery tour.
-
I love the fact that George Eliot's domestic arrangements were considered insanely scandalous in her time, but would be considered completely normal today. She had a series of basically monogamous, heterosexual relationships. That's literally it.
-
Jessica, this is the most beautiful cemetery. Thank you thank you!! 💕
-
Yes please to a 'death mask' video! I think most of us here would quite cheerfully watch any video you care to put up, so walk where you will and we will 'walk' with you 😍😁🦘🦘🦘
-
Any cemetery is great. Thank you for this beautiful video.
-
I just found your channel and now I get part 2!!! Super excited. More please.😊
