Residents of Graveyard Lane

About the Book

Residents of Graveyard Lane is a compilation of grave sites from a number of graveyards and churchyards from around the world. Some are of the 'rich and famous', and others are just the 'man in the street'. Each entry has a photograph of the grave taken by the author. Listed also is the grave text from the headstone together with an author's comment. The comment is a brief description about the deceased person, of their family or another historical pointer, in order that the reader goes away having learnt something about the deceased or what they did in their living time on earth.

The author believes that the deceased can 'live again' just by bringing their name to the attention of those alive.
