St Sepulchre’s Cemetery
This little gem in Jericho was beckoning me as soon as I looked out of the window at lunchtime and saw the sun shining against a blue sky. Church yards are such restful beautiful places and even more divine in the glorious light.
It is on an the site of the abandoned Walton Manor farmstead and was born out of the need for a place to put the bodies following the Cholera epidemics in the 1800s. If you are in the area, it is worth a visit; there are some gems buried there. Here are some pictures. I have posted my favourite one last.

Thank you Bella's Blog!
Following your account of the cholera victims, I thought you'd written 'there are some germs buried there'.
My friend fr Richard Conrad used to go and say prayers for the dead here on All Souls Day. He said that it got quite frightening with all sparks flying out of Lucy's factory.
What a splendid place, very surprised I didn't already know about it. When you told me you were at St Sepulchre's Cemetery I thought, What's she doing in London?!
Fab photos. The second one is by far the best IMNVHO - lovely!
