England in September

We're in the early (very early) stages of planning a trip to the UK in September. A daunting proposition. Unsurprisingly, we're looking for history and lots of cemeteries, and hopefully some ghost-hunting opportunities.

And we find that, in England, there's a fundamental distinction between a cemetery and a "churchyard", and that at initial and post-initial blush, we are unable to find any evidence of a comprehensive online guide to either. Which means, destination by destination, we'll have to find them by province...or *shire, or...um, maybe asking around.

We did find a blog on London cemeteries, and we'll probably reach out to this nice lady at some point soon, although she has not been updating her site recently. We're planning to stay with Chris during our stay in London, and he lives (reckoning via Google maps) about six blocks from Old Brompton, one of the so-called Magnificent Seven of London's cemeteries.

So far, it looks like York, Cambridge, Isle of Wight, Stonehenge...and in London, the Tower and Westminster Abbey. Nine months away, of course, all this is subject to change. Including going at all, which may betray a sliver of sanity on my part.
