The Hardy Tree, St Pancras Old Churchyard, London
“Before turning to writing full time,” Thomas Hardy “studied architecture in London from 1862-67 under Mr. Arthur Blomfield, an architect based in Covent Garden. During the 1860s the Midland Railwayline was being built over part of the original St. Pancras Churchyard. Blomfield was commissioned by the Bishop of London to supervise the proper exhumation of human remains and dismantling of tombs. He passed this unenviable task to his protegé Thomas Hardy in. c.l865. Hardy would have spent many hours in St. Pancras Churchyard … overseeing the careful removal of bodies and tombs from the land on which the railway was being built. The headstones around this ashtree (Fraxinus excelsior) would have been placed here about that time. Note how the tree has since grown in amongst the stones.”

The Egyptian Avenue leading up to the Circle of Lebanon. Highgate Cemetery, Highgate, London.
I think Highgate is my favorite part of London. Not just because it has an amazing old cemetery, but because the whole village looks like it stepped out of a Victorian novel.
