raising the dead

For the last few weeks, Nicholas has been working with London Stone Conservation, restoring heritage listed monuments in Highgate Cemetery.


He works in the Western half, an area not open to the general public unless on guided tour.


These are his pictures of the Cemetery. I haven't been up there yet, but he's hoping to secure the keys someday.


Work starts at 8am, so we've been getting up just after 6am every day. This is a huge adjustment, but it is nice to have some punctuation in the day.

What a beautiful and mysterious place! It must be quite something to be going there every day to do that work.
