Back in the General Cemetery off Spring Bank West Kingston upon Hull. This time I am at the far end of the cemetery closer to Chanterlands Avenue, the dereliction at this end is far worse than the end closer to Spring Bank. The Quaker Burial Ground is something to see with so much history of the many people who helped build this city in years gone by. The burial ground is surrounded by a small hedge and the head stones are all as you see here. This part is separated by a small allay about one person wide or slightly more from the remainder of the General cemetery. These are the first 6 photos of 11 in colour and 11 in Monochrome of The Quaker Burial Ground. Taken on the 25 March 2019 in Monochrome.
It was amazing to find this ancient Jewish Cemetery preserved between a few houses in Stockholm.
The gate was closed. I had to focus through the gate, over the fence and walk around the block to makes my photos.
The land for the cemetery, named Aronsberg after Aaron Isaac, had been acquired in 1776.
"The first Jew to settle in Stockholm was the gem-carver and seal-engraver, Aaron Isaac, who arrived in 1774.
A year later the Jewish community was founded when the right of residence in the Swedish capital was granted to him, his brother, his business partner, and their families.
By 1778-79 there was already a community of 40 families."
There are about 300 graves in Aronsberg Cemetery, most of them dating 1782-1888.
I wish I could walk between the graves and read each inscription, imagining the life stories they could tell.
R.I.P.
I have the honor and privilege to go to Arlington National Cemetery often because of work. I've never had the opportunity to walk around and take it all in until today. It was a perfect day to do it. I feel so lucky to be part of something so special.

He was the English tutor of Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich of Russia. Later in his life he became an Orthodox monk, adopting the name of Nicholas after Saint Nicholas The Passion Bearer. After his return to Britain he became a prominent figure in Orthodoxy in Britain. he took the Moral Sciences Tripos at St John's College, Cambridge, gaining a BA in 1899. He entered upon theological studies in Cambridge and Salisbury in preparation for holy orders but realised that he had no religious vocation. Having talent for languages, he decided to teach English abroad. In 1901 he went to Saint Petersburg, Russia, as tutor to the Shidlovsky family and then the Soukanoff family. He was then appointed to the staff of the Imperial School of Law, and by 1907 he was qualified as vice-president and committee member of the Saint Petersburg Guild of English Teachers. He came to the attention of Tsarina Alexandra and in 1908 was invited as a tutor to improve the accents of the Grand Duchesses Olga and Tatiana; and subsequently Maria and Anastasia. In 1913 he became tutor to Tsarevich Alexei. The children referred to him as Sydney Ivanovich.

Highgate Cemetery is a place of burial in north London designed by architect Stephen Geary. There are approximately 170,000 people buried in around 53,000 graves across the West and East Cemeteries. Highgate Cemetery is notable both for some of the people buried there as well as for its de facto status as a nature reserve. The Cemetery is designated Grade I on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. It is one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries in London.
The informal layout and hand-made markers are characteristics of small rural cemeteries throughout New Mexico.

"We can give these soldiers who have perished in the War, memorials which will last for hundreds of years. Does that add to the pain of human being or can it take away in any degree from the consolation of human being? Is it not, on the other hand, in the feeling of ordinary people in this country more likely to be a form of comfort and of consolation to them to know that the humblest soldier who has fallen will, as far as we can foresee, and as the result of the policy which this nation has embarked upon, be remembered; his name, his regiment, the place where he fell will be remembered through periods so remote that probably all the other memorials of this time will have faded and vanished away."
Secretary of State for War, Winston Churchill (1920) speaking in the UK Parliament: Hansard
The cemeteries "will be supported and sustained by the wealth of this great nation and Empire, as long as we remain a nation and an Empire, and there is no reason at all why, in periods as remote from our own as we ourselves are from the Tudors, the graveyards in France of this Great War, shall not remain an abiding and supreme memorial to the efforts and the glory of the British Army, and the sacrifices made in that great cause."

Also, skeletons.
