The Churchyard View !!
An odd shot taken during a gravestone search this morning . We had two particular gravestones to search out of family members but had no idea where in the whole churchyard to find them , only a rough idea of what they look like . In the end both were located and photographed !
However , for me this churchyard is somewhere that I grew up only three houses away up the road . Here we see a small group of four houses going up the lane ( an unmade single track bridle way ) . The building on the far left is part of the undertakers on the corner of the road and the lane . The house with the note on it was my grandparents house and the view from the upstairs window was entirely that of the graves of the churchyard - even the church was mostly hidden by the yew trees around it .
Seems so long ago when working as a land surveyor that I produced a plan of the church and churchyard with all the pathways and major trees but not individual graves though .
