This is a general view of the northern half of the cemetery; for another such view, see Image This area was not part of the cemetery as it was originally laid out; it was a later extension. This newer northern section has a very different feel about it; the large and varied monuments that are so prevalent in the older part of the cemetery are fascinating and often attractive, but they were of their time. Style and taste have changed, and such structures would be very much out of place here.
