As Jerome K Jerome once said “I take no interest in creeping round dim and chilly churches behind wheezy old men, and reading epitaphs. Not even the sight of a bit of cracked brass let into a stone affords me what I call real happiness.” He did however, admit that for most Brits, a poke around a cemetery was a great way to pass the time. Jerome then would not like Putney Vale Cemetery but I do.

It is one of Londons oldest graveyards and has some incredibly ornate mausoleums that belong to the rich and famous from the past. I don't know why but whenever i take pictures of this type of thing i get goosebumps and start to question whether or not i should be snapping away in a place that holds such sadness.
