Stone Carver
Hi My name Tim
I think your pictures catch the tombs in the right places. I should know I used to work their for about 3 years. I was a self-employed letter carver and carved hundreds of stones in that cemetery. I remeber carving one additional stone for a very famous person. This was the mother of Rod Stewart. The stone is on the right side of the road as you go up the hill, down the main path pass the main left track and down a slight hill and on the right is a large black granite headstone and kerbs (I think it was black as I carvered the stone over six years ago), their is a design of a fotballer on their and I added his mother on their by carving the letters by hand. The cemetery is a very nice place with lots of storys to go with the cemetery. I used to get their about 8.00 in the morning and Simon and I use to go right into the thick of the cemetery to find my job and then I would be their all day carving right in the heart of that cemetery. The cemetery leaves memories of a very old and peaceful place to be. I used to get lost in their when you go off the track their are lods of stones and tombs to see. There are two sides to the cemetery and I have worked on both sides where all the tours take place. Just to say that the pictures are very good and show the art work that was used for the stones and are aking when the green of the trees are in full detail very nice.
