The small cemetery of Shepherds Lane is very beautiful and it gathers the grave of my best friend Gilbert Keith Chesterton, the best writer ever! He was a good man, a great journalist and I hope he will become a saint. He loved everyone he met. He wrote wonderful pages like Orthodoxy, Manalive, The Man Who Was Thursday and Father Brown Stories. Please add a flower whenever you go there! Go and see Overroads, his first home in Beaconsfield since 1909, and Top Meadows, where he lived since 1922 until his death. They are both in Grove Road, facing each other. They are private houses but you can go and see them from the outside.

This is one of those strange locations that is a required visit as I believe everyone on occasion needs to be reminded of the enormous sacrifice others made for our today. Beautifully appointed and architecturally astute, a walk around these gardens and graves will sadden and illuminate simultaneously. Saddest of all perhaps are the graves of so many, so young, who died after hostilities ended in both world wars and to see names of, (again), so many young people who traveled half a world to lose their lives and end up here. Honour them with your presence just once.

Mid-England Barrow, in the heart of English Countryside, on the borders of Warwickshire, Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire, is an amazing modern-day Round Barrow for the storage of cremation ashes. There is an indescribable aura as you enter the barrow, that moment when a shiver goes down your spine. Niches, nestled into the walls, offer spaces for up to 5 urns (sets of ashes) which are then secured by completely personalised covers, and can be visited whenever you wish. Unlike many places of rest, your pets ashes can be stored alongside human ashes within the niche. The barrow is nestled in the corner of our working farm, where you can see our herd of Longhorn cattle, browsing the wild flower meadows. Flora and fauna in abundance. Alongside the Barrow we have a unique Rural Funeral venue, where family and friends can hold a Celebration of Life, with a picnic or pig roast, traditional tea and cakes or full English breakfast. Visits can be arranged at any time, please contact us.

Consecrated in 1843, this is one of England's earliest municipal cemeteries, and is a well-established stop on the graveyard "hunters" trail.
Easy to access from the common. At first I was disappointed by the state of repair of some of the graves, particularly of those who had died in the war. Perhaps it adds to the atmosphere of the cemetery though. Fascinating to walk around and strangely beautiful.

We live nearby but never tire of walks around the cemetery. If you haven't visited then make a point of going. There's history, quirky stuff and a lovely glade at the back of the site. Woking are making it more tourist friendly, let's hope that is done sensitively.
