Wow Cancan - well done - what a result from our little trip around St Marks  .

I would be scared of going into St Mark's on my own though, it is in a dreadful state (overgrown with shringes and needles and various items of underwear  ).  It would have been a beautiful cemetery if it had been maintained.  Some of the stones go back to the 1700's.
