Radnor Street Cemetery Walk

Uncategorized 1 Minute

We were delighted (and somewhat overwhelmed) to welcome more than 90 visitors to the cemetery for our first guided walk in two years.

The sun shone, although there was a chill in more exposed areas, and cardigans and coats were donned at various points, but no one seemed to mind.

One local family joined us across their garden fence in Kent Road with waves and smiles, proving that a cemetery walk can include humorous interludes as well as respectful remembrances.

Our thanks to everyone who joined us and our apologies to those we didn’t get around to speaking to (or got called away mid-conversation). It was wonderful to see you all.

We will be publishing a list of dates for more walks during the summer months.

Our thanks to Royston Cartwright, Swindon history friend, for his photographs, published below.
