Birds eye view from LocalLive showing the outline of the church from
the base of the walls.

Thats a triffic site, and nicely shot. It looks like it is partly maintained, and partly derelict. Is that the case?

Shame about the church, looked quite impressive. Bloody Germans.

Close up on the tombstone; did anyone in that family live beyond 25?
 
Cheers Mr CM. You're right the graveyard is partially maintained,
I'd estimate that around half of the site is overgrown and the
rest is kept neat and tidy.

The tombstone you mention is for the children of the couple in
the neighbouring grave, the ages of the children are 1, 10, 14,
11, 12, 19, 19, 15, 29.

Thanks RM. Yeah religious sites are in this season it seems.
I've got my eye on a couple of churches and another two
cemeteries, then I've got an absolute mother of a factory
to check out, can't wait for that one.

Thanks MacGuyver. Yes you're right there have been a lot
of cemeteries on Derelict Places recently, not to everyones
taste I know but I like them and there seem to be quite a
few people on here who have a similar appreciation.

July tradition? Nah I don't think so.
