A grass-covered piece of land enclosed by hedges and trees.

The theme for day 22 of #31DaysOfGravestones is #Landscape. Despite appearances, this view is, in fact, a cemetery - the cemetery of the former Exminster Asylum in Devon. My great-grandmother is one of many patients buried there. Two stone crosses are just visible if you look closely.

The gravestone of Catherine Rowse, who died on 3 August 1863 aged 77 years.

Day 21 of #31DaysOfGravestones, and the theme is #Bronze. This is not the metal but the colour; another gravestone at St Mary’s Church in Brixton, Devon. Over the years several members of the Rowse family married my Scoble ancestors; it’s all rather complicated!

#31DaysOfGravestones 19: #SocialGroup - five #WWI CWGC gravestones in Plot X, #Macclesfield cemetery, for James Campbell (d 5 Jun 1918), George Davies (d 14 Feb 1917), Herbert West (d 15 Jan 1919), Arthur Shaw (d 29 May 1919) and Joseph Murphy (d 3 Jun 1917) www.cheshireroll.co.uk/soldier/?i=9...

A collection of different sized gravestones, most of which are carved in slate. The carvings are still crisp and easy to read.

#31DaysOfGravestones and the theme for day 19 is #SocialGroup. You should just about make out the surname ‘Scoble’ on some of these; in fact, all of them are my Scoble ancestors.
