    Very intriguing cemetery. You had me guessing about those multiple name headstones all through the video. Thanks for solving the mystery for us.

      I emailed the cemetery office and they told me. Surprisingly little on the internet about them.

    Another nice graveyard. Lovely to see names for those who couldn't afford their own stones. So many forgotten people that have no grave. The childrens area is a wonderful & thoughtful thing to have. Thanks as always for taking us with you.

      Thanks again for coming along. The wee kids garden and seat is a brilliant idea.

    Seems to be a very large cementary. Some very ornate headstones. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.

      It was quite a large one, could have spent longer there but not sure how interesting that would be :)

      Over 100 war graves dotted about all over the place, brilliant to explore.

      I’ve still never made it to Brookwood, definitely on the list. You been to Europe to visit the cemeteries there?

      Brookwood is a beautiful place, best on a sunny day. I've still got to go back, as after two visits I'm still not finished filming.

    Excellent episode! Thank you for the fascinating write up at the end on the paupers graves. Some of the stones are so beautifully ornate! I love columns like large mail boxes. ❤😊👍

      And they’re usually granite so look as good as new after 150 years

    That was massive and so kind the name was listed.
    Often just a number in others. The Ledger's referencing who those numbers belonged too often burned, unlegable or end up destroyed by flooding. Many aren't computerized.
    Hope the Van is sound again. Enjoy your week.
