Sunday saunter

Greenbank Cemetery is one of Bristol's quirkier sights to see. On an urban walk published by Bristol's best what-to-do magazine Venue, a friend and I happened across this patch of green speckled with ramschackle graves. Tombstones have fallen, the stone figure of Dawn stares eternally upwards to the sky, and fallen angels lie in their resting places. In the centre, a chapel has been hollowed out by time so, standing on one side, you can see all the way through to the tree-lined avenue on the other. One headstone brings a smile - a Mr Stone married to a Gwendolen Wall.
