St. Leonard's Churchyard, Streatham, SW16.

From these photos it's hard to believe this church
right on the busy Streatham High Road, one
of the main traffic arteries through this part
of South London.



Looking at this snap you could be in a Middle England
village parish church almost anywhere.

A few shots...

which is all I could take really. Not sure how big
it is, but if you base an acre on the size of an average
football pitch, then this one isn't more than 3 or 4
acres in total.



You know those 133 buses that always teminate
at 'Streatham St. Leonards Church', well this is it.

Strolling around the churchyard...

doesn't take long, but still very pleasant.







I wouldn't have a clue to describe this one
architecturally, but I did like it.



The fallen railing made this snap for me.

West Norwood Cemetery, SE27

I was looking forward to snapping away here
with a number of listed monuments. Unfortunately
I hadn't got too far, no more than a hundred yards or so,
when a jobsworth quasi-security guard type employee
approached me and asked if he knew me. No! He then
asked me to stop taking photos, I asked why. He said it
was against regualtions & I'd been spotted on the cameras.
(Hmm, they can take snaps of me, but...)
He asked to to come along to the Cemetery Office to confirm
this with the person in charge, which I did. I meekly
accepted it, as I didn't want to argue, but I'm sure
they're wrong. And there are no signs up saying you can't.
Lambeth Council should be ashamed of themselves if it's
true...but I'm not sure if they are as I never got a
reply to my complaint.

The Commonwealth War Grave

Just by the main entrance at the main road.


Private Lawrence: One of the fallen from the
Football Club I support.

Just through the gates...

Sadly not allowed further than this point!
(But don't worry, I will return some time to
cover the rest)
