Nunhead Cemetery Open Day last weekend. The Cemetery can appear a little offputting at first:
But actually, the Open day is a little like a summer fair or fete. Lots of special interest groups, a summy day, refreshments and people meandering:
An apiarist (but no bees):
Bugman Jones (a Nunhead notable)and his Bug Hunt:
Refreshments by the Scottish Martyrs' memorial:
The bodgers in demonstration mode:
... and the birds of prey:
The Cemetry is a beguiling combination of Victorian graveyard and nature reserve:
With the odd Weeping Angel to liven things up:
Wild garlic:
Another Angel?
Some people just had to dress up...
The crypt:
More costumes (are these middle-aged Goths?):
Inside the crypt (I think this may be the Nunhead Ukelele Orchetra...)
The road from the main gates to the crypt:
Have to mention the Friends of Nunhead Cemetery (FONC) of course:
Model of the two gatehouses at the entrance (one lived-in, the other currently derelict)
