A wander around a cemetery is not for everyone, but this place is a must. A wealth of Victorian Monuments, from Angels to Cross's, ornate to simple. The symbolism of death is there to read. Several well known names are interred, including Thomas Cook, the artist John Flower and Suffragette Alice Hawkins. The Commonwealth War Graves contain over 70 burials including those from Australia and Belgium. Both ANZAC Day and Armistice Day are marked with a short service and wreath laying. Spring and Autumn are an excellent times to visit re the plants and trees. Sir David Attenborough considers is interest in the natural world stems from the cemetery being a childhood playground when his father was Vice Chancellor at the nearby University of Leicester. Another interesting burial is that of William Green. Buried with no grave marker he was a soldier during the Peninsular Wars, (think of the TV series 'Sharp'). The Head Stone was unveiled with due ceremony and musket volley.
