Dist:0.1km<br/>An interesting variety of gravestone styles. The rectangular one in the middle is inscribed: "In loving memory of Arthur, son of Samuel & Mary Wright, who died Dec 2nd 1879, Aged 2 years. Also of John, son of the above . . ." A certain lack of clarity in the way it is worded implies a remarkable biological precocity! A notable feature of this Cemetery is the remarkably tight spacing between the grave plots, not just the width, but also the length. Apart from those alongside the walks, like these, it is impossible to visit graves without walking across other plots.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Built in 1864 All Saints is an imposing example of Victorian Gothic. There are a few other churches built of similar light-coloured stone in the 19th century around Nottingham. Perhaps most notably [[544288]].

Dist:0.2km<br/>This is a much steeper hill than it looks in this picture. Modern trams make light of the climb past The Arboretum (to the right) between the Trent University stop on Goldsmith Street and the High School stop at the top of the hill.

Dist:0.2km<br/>A fine selection of late Victorian gravestones and memorials. This part of the Cemetery certainly holds a high proportion of the more elaborate ones and was clearly where the wealthier citizens were buried.
