Tombstone Tuesday ~ The churchyard at St. Peter and St. Paul, Fenstanton, Cambridgeshire, England

These photographs were taken at St. Peter and St. Paul's churchyard in Fenstanton, Cambridgeshire, England during our Historic Sites Tour with the General Society of Mayflower Descendants.  We were visiting this historic church because the parents of Mayflower passenger John Howland were buried here (no marker exists today).  It is also the burial place of Lancelot "Capability" Brown, a famous landscape architect (the Frederick Law Olmstead of England).

For more about our tour in Fenstanton, and the Howland family, see this link:

  1. Thank you for posting. Your photos are beautiful and capture both the loveliness of late summer in England as well as the poignancy of the burial grounds of hundreds of years ago.
