Alfred Claude Taylor MD and his wife Emma share this Celtic style cross in Church Cemetery, Nottingham, England. Alfred died in 1888 and Emma in 1939.
Church Cemetery is also known as Rock Cemetery and is Grade II listed. It was designed by Edwin Patchitt and took several years to build and was still not complete when it opened in 1856. It covers approximately 13 acres.
The cemetery is built on old sand pits and contains burial plots on several terraces, with sandstone caves forming part of the landscape, hence being known as Rock Cemetery locally.This makes for an unusual and very interesting layout and unlike anything I have seen previously.
