Thats Pendle Hill, I love walking around it, the leaves are starting to carpet the floor, so not much time left for them to be on the trees.

Reading the headstones is like reading a book about a families life, the death of the parents and the children that died at an early age, and even some that died in foreign lands and never made it back home. There are even a couple of servants that served the Trapps-Lomax family, they lived in Clayton Hall. I have spent a fair bit of time just reading them, and it becomes apparent that those that could afford it had large families to compensate for the tragedies that befell them. Of course those that survived went on to have their own families and so would be on there own headstone.
