The older part of the cemetery
It was the sporting theme that caught my eye.
Thomas Miles Adams was born on 25th May 1810,
and died on 20th January 1894, aged 83.
He played first class cricket between 1836 and 1858,
playing 157 county games.
A nice row of headstones.
Date not known, this wasn't really a planned
site, just an idea, so I never took notes.
More general views:
I liked this one, with a nautical theme. Though
it didn't say if he was in the Royal Navy; Merchant
Navy; or just enjoyed sailing. Harry William, aged 73,
died 26th September 1939.

Hello
My name is john Gibbs from Brisbane in Australia.
You have a very interesting blog site. I have just found out that my Wife's Grandfather Thomas Mangan Richard Bourne is buried in Gravesend cemetery in grave 4142 in row 23. I was hoping hoping there would have been a photo of it. It would have made my wife's day.Thomas was born in Ireland and his G/Granfather was the Builder of Ashboure in County Meath And Thomas was the last landlord of ashbourne House which is now Ashbourne hotel.There is an inscription on the headstone as a memorial to his first son Richard kiled inn WW1. If ever you get back there I would love a snap -- Regards John Gibbs -- Email-- johngibbs@mysoul.com.au
