Locksbrook

A cemetery on the outskirts of Bath. Now closed for new burials and neglected, it is used chiefly by people walking their dogs. Many memorials are overgrown and collapsed; a few, but not many, are visited and remembered. I was struck powerfully by the futility of erecting memorial stones when after a short time nobody can recall who you were. Many of the great and good are interred here; people of wealth and social standing. Some of the memorials are extravagant and ornate and would have cost a pretty penny.
My visit on the first day of October on an overcast wet day underlined the end of the summer and struck a funereal note all of its own.
