Just a little graveyard

in Penzance.  We went on a walk one morning....and you know how it is you just happen upon a graveyard.....actually in small towns in the UK, that IS what happens.  Some of those towns have more dead people than living, I am sure of it. :)

So, we happened upon St. Mary's church cemetery on a cold (very) Autumn day.











This was an interesting graveyard.....I have a lot more pictures to share.  Be back soon.

  1. Cool find....
    There used to be an old, tiny graveyard near the house where I grew up. It was hidden out in the woods, and had headstones like those, dating back to the 1870s. Several of them were for infants.

    Fascinating.

  2. One of the things I love about living in England is the fact you can just bump into graveyards when on your travels. We have some good ones ;-)

  3. There's one similar to that in Portland, Dorset, by the ruins of St. Andrew's church. It's fascinating reading the tombstones. Especially the ones with a skull and crossbones on them. I assume they mark the grave of a robber or pirate.
