Various churchyards around the town of Sandwich, Kent
Visited August 2016
When I was wandering around the pretty little town of Sandwich the other weekend, I stumbled across some lovely tombstones. Sadly I didn't have as much time to poke around as I'd have liked, as Richborogh Roman Fort was my intended destination, but I spotted these few. Maybe I'll go back one day and have a proper look!
St Mary's Church
This Church is right on the street, but it seems to have a pretty churchyard behind it, with some fairly old stones including this one.
St Peter's Church
Most of this churchyard seems to have been cleared and landscaped, with the stones placed around the edge is so often the case. Just opposite the door, however, I spotted this little gem!
Parish Church of St Clement, Sandwich
This is a lovely churchyard - like a proper English country churchyard should be, and it helped that there was someone practising violin nearby, giving a very pastoral soundtrack! Graves seem to date from the 18th century onwards, and although I had only 15 minutes to look around I spotted some lovely ones and must go back sometime!
