A long line of family tombs built into the hillside

 
Merridale Cemetery, Wolverhampton, West Midlands

This was our first visit of the 2013 season. The cemetery is well maintained and despite being situated in a major town it was surprisingly quiet. The chapel and ground was consecrated May 23rd 1850 and the cemetery was officially opened June 10th 1850.
 
 
This was a curious section of the cemetery with what appeared to be family tombs built into a raised section of the site.
