It sometimes seems in Britain that when it snows, everything stops - though the same isn't true for wildlife. Beckett Street Cemetery is an important green space for wildlife in the inner city and if you go when its quiet, you will often see a varied amount. I popped down to see the Cemetery after the recent snow fall and saw a few grey squirrels and a fox, though they were all too quick for my camera. From the photo below you will see that us humans are getting used to snow flurries and venturing out as the council's park patrol and various walkers have already been out before me.  |

Our congratulations go to Brookwood, Highgate, and Kensal Green cemeteries who have all been upgraded by English Heritage to Grade I Historic Parks & Gardens recognising them as of “international significance”. This is a great achievement and has involved a lot of hard work by the various Friends groups and Societies. The Register of Historic Parks and Gardens lists nearly 1,450 sites, of which 140 have Grade I status

‘To Prove I’m Not Forgot’ by Sylvia Barnard was launched at the Thackray Museum on 26th February. Around 30 people attended this happy event. Alun Pugh welcomed everyone and, in introducing Sylvia, told us how enjoyable and ‘readable’ he’d found it and how much he’d learned from her original book (previously published in 1991) as evidenced by his well-thumbed copy! Sylvia then spoke about her first visit to the Cemetery, being amazed at the history, geology and art she found there. |
