Grave Stones


These shots were all taken in the churchyard at Dyrham Park. There are many very old graves and the headstones are very interesting and extremely unusual. We have been trying (and failing) to find out more about them!


Not the cheeriest subject for a Friday, but wishing you all a very good weekend all the same. The UK is destined to have more good weather for once! We are off to a family wedding so lets hope that the sun keeps shining!

    I'm sorry for the late visit. I hope everything's okey during the wedding.
    Can't believe they put a scary figure on one's headstone.

    Hi: Laurie & Alan here. We enjoyed the photos of the gravestones. We go 'graveyard walking' and love to take photos. Just started our own blog. Check it out at: www.hauntingsgraveyardsandghosts.blogspot.com

    Love the skull stone. Really like the history and paranormal factor associated with this hobby.
    Cheers,
    Graveyard Walkers
