Graveyard Adventure

Hello again!! So the other day I was just itching to get out and explore, and what better place than my local cemetery? I've always been fascinated by graveyards, I just think they're very peaceful places. When I was younger I wanted to be a caretaker for a cemetery, and to be honest I still wouldn't mind that.

This is the graveyard at St Mary's church in Ashford, where I live. It's right in the center of a very busy town where there's always lots of people, but it's so quiet here it was almost like being in a completely different place.

Most of these graves were from around the 1800s, and were so old and weathered that they no longer had writing or any indication of who was buried below. There were still some interesting details though, there were a lot of Skulls and crossbones about!! After looking up some of the history, turns out St Marys was mentioned in the Doomsday Book in 1086, making it at least 1000 years old. I never knew such an old and wonderful place was right on my door step.

So that's all for now, it was so lovely walking round here, imagining the lives these people must have led. I do have a couple more cemetery's near me, would you guys be interested in more Graveyard adventures? This post was a bit different from normal, but I hope you guys enjoyed it anyway!! I certainly enjoyed making it!!
