The churchyard, Mitcham parish church
The eastern end of the churchyard, looking towards Love Lane. The churchyard is vast, and its size must have to do with the fact that the Wandle valley was the site of much early industrialisation - with the old Surrey Iron railway passing nearby.
Photo taken on the afternoon of a gloomy, chilly day in December - the frost on the path had persisted all day.

The churchyard, Mitcham parish church, in winter - with conker tree
Looking eastwards from near the north-west corner of this vast churchyard, as the light faded on a December afternoon. The tree in the foreground is a horse-chestnut, Aesculus hippocastanum. This one looks reasonably healthy, but it has to be said that conker trees in the London area are seriously blighted. The species is not native, and so is less intimately woven into the ecological fabric than our native ash - but here in the London area its loss is going to be far more noticeable.

Mitcham churchyard: war memorial
The World War 1 memorial (reference 12316 in the UK National Inventory www.ukniwm.org.uk ) in the parish churchyard. It is of an apparently identical design to the one in nearby Wimbledon Cemetery Image
The inscription (taken from the UKNIWM entry) reads: "THIS CROSS OF SACRIFICE IS ONE IN DESIGN AND INTENTION WITH THOSE WHICH HAVE BEEN SET UP IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM AND OTHER PLACES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD WHERE OUR DEAD OF THE GREAT WAR ARE LAID TO REST./ THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE.

Mitcham churchyard: former mortuary
The building looked to me to be out of keeping with churchyard buildings and possibly the right size and style for a London Electricity Board substation of the 1930s (or thereabouts). However I have since been informed by someone who used to live nearby that it was the mortuary including "slabs where the bodies were laid out for inspection after death". There was a separate cemetery chapel, which has now been demolished, and the mortuary is now disused with the windows bricked up.
