Tamworth must be unique surely in having a library which opens out on to an old churchyard.
This photo is of the main entrance, believe it or not, and the graves you see are part of the churchyard of the parish church of St Editha.
What I am still wondering is whether the library (or its 1905 predecessor) was built over the top of some graves...
There must be some great jokes waiting to be told too!

The stones look too close together and orderly to be their original location, so maybe....
ReplyDeleteinteresting to be sitting in the library and glancing out the window to rest your eyes on these markers!
How fascinating. I do believe there is a rule somewhere that you can build on cemeteries and graveyards 95-100 years after the last burial. I agree that the stone do look too orderly.
ReplyDeleteDoes the libaray have any information on the churchyard.
