John Matthews & Mary Elizabeth Matthews nee Elstone The Mount Cemetery Guildford

As part of the Family History Writing Challenge I wrote a post relating to the grave of my Great Grandparents, which was mentioned in my Graveyard Rabbit post last month. It occurred to me that the photos below illustrated quite nicely what I meant about graves being neglected and forgotten.

Here are two photos of the grave, the first in 1937 and the second in 2007.
