Grave Matters in Woodbury Park Cemetery

 There is an air of expectation in the Cemetery this week. The rhododendrons are budding up promising a glorious display in the next few weeks.

  The Lady's Smock, milkmaid or cuckoo flower is waving gently in the spring breeze.
There is quite a group around the William Willicombe grave. Known as the 'Cubitt of Tunbridge Wells', he is associated with many areas of Tunbridge Wells, including Ravensdale in the Pembury Road. This was his home and in later years it became St Christophers a Dr Barnardo's Home called Ravensdale and now it has become Willicombe Park.

                    The bluebells are out on the banks and nestling up against the gravestones.

If you look carefully, that beautiful symbol of purity, the woodland Lily of the Valley is just emerging through the soil.
