During a recent trip to Highgate I revisited Highgate Cemetery. I have visited it often over the years as a couple of my relatives are buried here. It has been lovingly restored in recent years, is maintained by the Friends of Highgate Cemetery Trust and is open to the public.
“Today we try to balance the appearance of romantic decay with the needs of conservation… This is above all a place for tranquil reflection.”
Highgate Cemetery is the resting place to a number of significant people from Karl Marx to Malcolm McClaren. Many thanks to my friend Peggy Vance for composing the last photo.
