Flaybrick Memorial gardens were beautiful, charming and peaceful. I visit several family members who are buried there, one of whom is George Summers who died on HMS Thetis, he was a Lairds electrician. I also visit a very old family grave of Miss Woodhead of Summertrees in Noctorum.
I walk there most Days with my disabled son in his wheelchair and the other who is blind with his guide dog.
I have been visiting this graveyard since I was a child .
Miss Woodhead and her family had a large elegant cross as a head stone, which is now little more than a broken stump, and my grandfather George had a smart white headstone, of the war grave type, a few years ago that was knocked flat.
I am distressed that all the foliage is being ripped away and now there are precipitous cliffs and loosened stones and years old live holly trees have been over cut and now several are dead . The pathways are being made into roadways and now it is unsafe to walk as drivers race about with no concern for children or other visitors.
The life is being ripped out of this beautiful place and I am thoroughly saddened by it.
Trees are being destroyed and ivy is being ripped up, leaf mould removed, and there are no wild flowers. Flaybrick memorial garden is no longer a place of peace or respect.
