Neglected by people and left in Nature's care for decades, Wardsend has become Sheffield's most beautiful cemetery. We are of course a little bit biased and understand that other cemetery Friends groups may not necessarily share our view 🙂
The next talk by @HydeParkCem will be on Wednesday 5 April at Campsall. Village Hall to the @Barnscan Group. Everyone welcome to hear the fascinating story behind some of the 70,000 burials in the #doncasterisgreat cemetery.
Doncaster Walk ⬇️
Our free guided walk Ashes To Ashes tells the stories of the people behind the burials including the owner of the patent for an airtight metallic coffin and the organiser of wartime emergency burials. Sun 16 April, 3pm. Free but donations gratefully received. #DoncasterIsGreat

@HydeParkCem A lot of great memories prompted by the photos!
The grave of Sand House creator, Henry Senior, is just caught at the bottom right edge of the first photo. Its position close to the chapels was a reflection of his status.
Before the scaffolding on the chapels was removed, we managed to get these wonderful views of the cemetery. Look at our beautiful cemetery 😍 #DoncasterIsGreat

On 18/11/16 Pte Robert Haywood Jones was kia on The Somme. He was never found & he is remembered on the Bramley War Memorial & Thiepval Memorial. A century later, millions of people worldwide mourned the death of his grandson, David Robert Jones (better known as David Bowie).
