Crossbones garden of remembrance- graveyard to the 'outcasts'.
The skull, made from pennies, is a recreation of a genuine skull that had belonged 16 year old found buried in the forgotten burial plot for outcasts. This poor girl had third-stage syphilis, meaning she'd been infected for at least 6 years.
Crossbones truly is a hidden beauty, a tiny garden with lovely sitting spots, a little passage, a small pond, and a lot of hand crafted memorial pieces made especially or kindly donated to remember those long gone.
God help the outcasts ❤️
Visiting is free. Its also free to tie a ribbon to the gate. But if you can spare a pound, please do.
