A Year in Pictures – Brompton Cross in Ferns

Parts of Brompton Cemetery are nearly as overgrown as Highgate, but in a different way: fewer trees, more ferns. (And a wall that bids fair to win the award for Most Ivy Per Square Inch, which you will see later.) There were seas of underbrush to the sides of the main path, with headstones and crosses poking up, and some of the ferns orange with the season. I do not know if there are plans to try and clear the cemetery grounds and restore them to a more manicured state.
