St. Sepulchre's Cemetery

The cemetery was opened in 1849, initially as an overflow for north Oxford because existing cemeteries were overcrowded with corpses from epidemics such as cholera. St Sepulchre's Cemetery itself became overcrowded later in Victorian times. The cemetery was established along with Osney Cemetery and Holywell Cemetery. In 1855, new burials were forbidden at all Oxford city churches, apart from in existing vaults. (Taken from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Sepulchre's_Cemetery )

Good Points

The cemetery itself is abandoned for the most part. The gravestones are cracked and damaged in places and have plants growing through them. The rear of the cemetery is completely overgrown and you can find gravestones hidden in tall grass or under trees. All in all it can make for some very atmospheric shots.
