Historic Cemeteries

Older cemeteries are visible, tangible links with people who made history — ordinary individuals as well as famous people. But a cemetery is more than a collection of interesting historical data, as precious and revealing as that may be. It is also a place — an open space populated by monuments and vegetation, altogether forming a very particular and revealing part of our built environment.
