St Peter's churchyard Within this secret garden of Frampton
Cotterell you may relax on a seat to gaze over fields and woods
as you ponder or pray. In the south-east corner of the
churchyard is an assortment of weather-worn tombstones amongst
trimmed grass shaded by ornamental and mature trees that attract
songbirds. Inquisitive persons who wander amongst the graves get
a sense of the past while reading references to hatters,
quarrymen and yeomen, and discover a doctor, solicitor,
auctioneer and a naval officer. Northwoods private asylum was
significant in the 19th century so gets a mention. In the north-
east corner see memorials in Portland stone with regimental
crests that mark graves of men who died in War for their
Country. Some gravestones list children who perished before
antibiotics and are remembered by sorrowing parents. The
