West Norwood Cemetery 2
Four more images from the photographic scrap box. The first is one that generated my real interest in finding out more about the story behind the names on the stones. You cannot fail to be intrigued when you read the words 'Edith O'Gorman, The Escaped Nun'! The cemetery is also home to Hiram Maxim, the inventor of the dreaded Maxim Gun.
