They're such tranquil, green spaces, usually untouched by time, with their monuments, statues and gravestones telling us so much about the past. Good to hear restoration is underway but yes, a certain amount of decay is very much a part of the history of the place.lovethosecupcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07083162147277460536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-28840021473748287612016-06-22T18:50:49.605+01:002016-06-22T18:50:49.605+01:00what a glorious place!! so much *feeling* to it. i...what a glorious place!! so much *feeling* to it. i do hope they don't tidy it up too much...i agree that it's exactly how a cemetery should look.<br /><br />i'm with Jayne...had a bit of weeping angels wobble. :O<br /><br />xomelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07984286138124792000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-85464192166653360922016-06-22T12:00:59.496+01:002016-06-22T12:00:59.496+01:00Amazing place and great photos but I cannot see th...Amazing place and great photos but I cannot see those angel statues without thinking of Dr Who (and shuddering - and trying Not To Blink!)Bag End Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190496929132717769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-88904182815211744362016-06-22T08:47:35.459+01:002016-06-22T08:47:35.459+01:00Churchyards are fantastic places for wildlife - ha...Churchyards are fantastic places for wildlife - have you read God's Acre?
