In Farnham is the West Street Cemetery, a modestly sized place with some of the notably folks from Farnham's history. None of the graves of those folks are presented here. Just regular folks with interesting gravestones.

At the edge of Farnham are the ruins of Waverley Abbey. This is the first abbey founded by the Cistercians in England. It was begun in 1128. Let that sink in for a while.

Brookwood Cemetery...a Study in Symbolism
It has been a short while since you've seen a cemetery we've visited. Today, I've got some photos from a place I'm pretty sure that you've never been...a Zoroastrian cemetery.
This is Brookwood Cemetery, the largest cemetery in the UK and one of the largest in Europe. Opened in 1852. I'm quite sure we'll make another visit here since there so much to see.
