I’ve visited the General Cemetery a few times recently and the other day I made a new friend 😻 This gorgeous moggy was keeping an eye on the cemetery, or perhaps guarding the tomb of Helen and Thomas Nowill?!

As part of this week’s #GreatBritishSpringClean our fabulous volunteer litter-picking team was out in force with the help of a new litter picking trolley, purchased through funding from @HeritageFundUK 💌

Thank you to all our litter heroes who helped to spruce up the Cemetery 🗑️
