St John the Baptist, Whittington, Shropshire
(Click on an image for a larger version)
Nearly 200 gravestones had just been laid flat
on the ground on the edge of an open area across the road from the church. We
both thought that this was very disrespectful.
Sgt. Major George Smith fought at the famous Battle of
Balaclava in the Crimean War.
In one corner of the site the partial remains
of some gravestones had been left piled up in heaps. We were both very
unimpressed!
