Holywell Cemetery is located next to St Cross Church in Central Oxford. It's pretty well hidden; you could walk past it hundreds of times and never spot the discrete entrance in Long Wall Street. I should know, that's precisely what I did! But, when I discovered it and went in, I found a place of beauty and quiet serenity in the heart of busy Oxford.
