Many sad stories on the hundreds of tombstones. Norfolk Island Heritage listed area

[aikimomm (phoebe)]

Yes, but the stone looks in such good repair for being so old!

[Babs]

So sad.

[Joyce]

Sad but interesting

[Margo]

@aikimomm They look after this cemetry very well. There are bus tours that visit, besides the hundreds of others who go independantly. Well worth a look. thankyou for commenting

[Margo]

@onewing @thistle Thankyou for commenting

[Beryl Lloyd]

So sad but as Joyce says interesting and more so intriguing in the story behind this !

[Dianne]

This certainly does tell a sad tale - looks like one of his mates was commissioned to carve the lettering on the headstone.

[Denise Wood]

Fascinating :)

[sally agnew]

A sad history indeed :)

[Valerie Chesney]

A fascinating place to visit & yes, so many sad stories.

[judith deacon]

Such a sad headstone. Wouldn't you like to know the full history of Henry Knowls.

[Jason]

Fascinating piece of history.

[Lori Jane]

Very nice shot, if a bit grim.

[Lynne Hart]

Well found, so young to die.

[Pyrrhula]

Suchs a shame. Being killed that young. Great shot of the stone.

[wendy frost]

A sad headstone I wonder what the history behind his demise was.

[Margo]

@judithdeacon Yes it would be interesting to know the story behind this. thankyou for commenting

[Helen Sanderson]

good image Margo..old cemeteries always are interesting.

[Rachel]

Fascinating. I can't believe they actually put the word Execute on a grave stone.

[Cherrill]

Really interesting from all sorts of perspectives. I don't know the history of this place but I'm off to have a look. I'm sure there will be archives and with a little research one could find poor old Henry. Love the way the carver ran out of space for his lettering and the different fonts. Fascinating!

[Barb Newcomb]

That cemetery has so many sad stories to tell. Very moving!
