I haven’t attended any other Open Day (at the cemeteries) other than Kensal Green and this was my first although I have visited Brompton twice before. It wasn’t as crowded as Kensal Green (and not as popular, Kensal Green’s Open Day is the most popular and the well-attended). I didn’t spot any Goths either. I took some photos and chanced upon the grave of Rawlinson (one of my cemetery poets which I photographed). The cemetery has Beatrix Potter connections (as I probably mention in my book) who used to live nearby and it is supposed that she visited it as a child and that some of the names on the tombstones (such as Nutkins which I found and took a photo of inspired the names of some of her characters). I spotted a Louisa Wallis buried next to a University of London professor! Also met Jeane with her husband (the psychic medium I met at the Kensal Green Open Day).Rehan Qayoomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16194639381112545876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24554405.post-27757662520094485452007-07-30T05:17:00.000+01:002007-07-30T05:17:00.000+01:00I'm always amazed at the amount of History available within a graveyard, I imagine there'd be quite a bit at one that's a couple hundred years old.Scriptorius Rexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11950686688288213875noreply@blogger.com
