Can't tell you much about this cemetery other than it is along Kinaston Road off between some houses. It's land locked between the housing estates and secondary school. I could not even tell you how old it is though I think it would be early 20th century. I visited after going to a church in Old Didcot .
On coming in from the drive you see a vast expanse of cemetery and over to the right I spotted a white memorial of two angels
Looking further along the cemetery was full on that side with many memorials to young children
There were a few War Graves in the cemetery.
G.W.Reeve
and P.L.Crabtree
Serjeant E.G.Bowler
S.J.Slade and H.S.Marriott
At the far end of the cemetery you walk through to a new part that is in present day use
Lots of floral tributes on the garden of remembrance
Nearby you find the more recent day burial
Above Lance Corporal Michael Craig Foley was killed while serving in Afghanistan
Most of this side of the cemetery is in use
Over all view of the cemetery
Back into the older part of the cemetery and another garden of remembrance
Frederick S Tucker (Tommy) served in the RAF on Hurcules, Argossy's & Beverleys . I remember seeing those planes flying locally around here so no doubt Tommy was looking down on me then
The garden of rememberer towards the entrance
On my way around I noticed some of the headstones had unsocial carvings on them
Till Next time have a wonderful wee
These are wonderful photos. I love visiting cemeteries.

...Bill, your military gravestones are so nice, much better than the ones here.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen anything like those last three.
ReplyDeleteThe angels, I presume, were twins? Those modern ones are quite something. I must admit that I tend to only visit older churchyards, so I haven't seen any in that style before.
ReplyDeleteThe graveyard looks well kept Bill, I like that. There is quite a variety of headstones, I must admit I quite like the last three more modern headstones, they should reflect the person passed.
