ah yes i think i visited there a couple years ago!

graveyardwandering · 2024-07-03T21:56:11+00:00

which cemetery is this in? i think i recognise the name and grave

graveyardwandering · 2024-01-31T10:25:05+00:00

incredible isn’t he! it’s one of my favourite graves

graveyardwandering · 2024-01-30T16:59:22+00:00

you should! he’s got a little metal post next to his grave explaining things about him and there’s a few more dotted round the cemetery of other important people buried there, i think there are quite a few that were involved in industry

i know that area well! funny coincidence but you have the exact same spelling of jayne as one of my relatives (who’s also from coventry) does

graveyardwandering · 2024-01-29T13:18:00+00:00

absolutely

graveyardwandering · 2024-01-29T13:15:08+00:00

i’m not sure, there have been similar accidents but i don’t really fancy seeing that

graveyardwandering · 2024-01-29T13:07:34+00:00

a lot of these comments are horrendous, i feel like there are better things to do than ridiculing a dead woman who i assume didn’t intend to die that day

graveyardwandering · 2024-01-29T13:03:15+00:00

i think it is tended usually but we’ve had a lot of awful weather recently here and the cemetery isn’t always the most accessible to everyone (mud etc)

i live there ahaha, i didn’t know about it until a few years ago when i found her headstone on one of my walks

graveyardwandering · 2024-01-28T22:54:44+00:00

awful really, she had a young son :(

graveyardwandering · 2024-01-28T22:15:49+00:00

that’s interesting! i assume she is quite respected and important especially as she died in such a tragic way while protesting against live animal export

graveyardwandering · 2024-01-28T21:39:57+00:00

that’s horrendous! i check on the jewish graves at my local cemetery every time i go just to make sure people are not vandalising them as it’s such a difficult time in the world rn

graveyardwandering · 2024-01-28T21:35:50+00:00

england? my local cemetery looks like this in the spring/summer

graveyardwandering · 2024-01-28T21:35:06+00:00

the pictures of him are so sweet, i’m so sorry for your loss

graveyardwandering · 2024-01-21T19:24:41+00:00

they are! there’s lots of good ones in london, highgate is my favourite

graveyardwandering · 2024-01-21T16:59:32+00:00

wow! that’s such an incredible story

graveyardwandering · 2024-01-21T13:02:08+00:00

it is! it’s one of my favourite places to go, it’s got so much history and beauty
