St Georges Field, Leeds

Can you believe that before I was made aware of St Georges Field - or Woodhouse Cemetary - in Leeds that I had no idea it was there. The ‘field’ is an old cemetary dating from the 1800’s that is thought to have over 10,000 bodies buried there - though you wouldn’t think to look at it as all the monuments and graves are quietly sat in the corners.

Now part of the University of Leeds Campus, the field is a quiet sanctuary on the edge of the busy centre and if I’m walking that side of the city, I now take a detour to walk through. I’m a little sad that I no longer have to go to Uni every Thursday actually, because it was a nice little spot to stretch my legs before heading to the library.
