Headstones tightly packed round the Thomas Hardy Tree Old St Pancras Churchyard London England Europe
In the mid-1860's Thomas Hardy, the famous novelist and poet, whilst studying architecture, was in charge of the excavation of a graveyard in the course of the construction of a London terminus for Midland Railways. This involved the exhumation of human remains and the dismantling of tombs. An ash tree known as the "Thomas Hardy Tree" was surrounded with the tombstones, which still remain to this day and are the main sight in the Old St Pancras churchyard.
