The air was crisp and the sun was warm. It was a gorgeous day to walk around these church grounds (though the very intricate soul of my shoe found some poo).
I'm not sure why the walls around this Greenwich church property are lined with tombstones, but they are. Even the school playground is lined with tombstones.
The last pic is a row of houses looking over the church grounds. Hmmm. I'm not sure what I think about dwelling in a house with a view of tombstones. Some of the tombstones are still readable.
I wish I'd take a picture of the entire stone shown above. Sarah, the wife of Joshua, died when she was only 44 years of age in the year 1790. Interestingly, most of the readable tombstones show ages much younger, like in the twenties and thirties.
