O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Mahovinasti mramorni nadgrobni spomenici i visoki hrastovi daju prostoru tiho filmski dojam, dok pogrebna umjetnost varira od običnog poljskog kamena do raskošnih viktorijanskih anđeoskih rezbarija. Možete pronaći grobove veterana Građanskog rata i obitelji povezanih s trgovinom antracitnog ugljena, a više od 30 000 ukopa nalazi se u starim mapama parcela i knjigama.
Istaknuto: U sumroku, izlizani mramorni anđeo s nedostajućim vrhom prsta kao da bdije nad zasjenjenim skupom obiteljskih parcela, njegova duga sjena pretvara staze u tišinu koju gotovo možete čuti. Otiđite do parcele broj 47 i otkrit ćete rukom ispisane datume ukopa, malu mjedenu pločicu ukucanu u zemlju i bilješku u kožom uvezanoj knjizi koja povezuje jedan grob s lokalnim imenom, čineći prošlost neobično neposrednom.
