This is a fitting tribute to all those people who gave their lives and to read some of their stories of heroism and complete disregard for their own lives to save others is beyond words, the cemetery is immaculate and truly spectacular. A fitting tribute to the Americans who came to help us.

Amazing,beautiful,thought provoking place to visit. The grounds are kept immaculate. When every where a round us is in chaos, this is a place of reflection of how futile war is. Nobody really wins in the long run . The loss of life on both sides, some only boys.

The small cemetery of Shepherds Lane is very beautiful and it gathers the grave of my best friend Gilbert Keith Chesterton, the best writer ever! He was a good man, a great journalist and I hope he will become a saint. He loved everyone he met. He wrote wonderful pages like Orthodoxy, Manalive, The Man Who Was Thursday and Father Brown Stories. Please add a flower whenever you go there! Go and see Overroads, his first home in Beaconsfield since 1909, and Top Meadows, where he lived since 1922 until his death. They are both in Grove Road, facing each other. They are private houses but you can go and see them from the outside.

This is one of those strange locations that is a required visit as I believe everyone on occasion needs to be reminded of the enormous sacrifice others made for our today. Beautifully appointed and architecturally astute, a walk around these gardens and graves will sadden and illuminate simultaneously. Saddest of all perhaps are the graves of so many, so young, who died after hostilities ended in both world wars and to see names of, (again), so many young people who traveled half a world to lose their lives and end up here. Honour them with your presence just once.

Willow Row Barrow is a hand-crafted monument providing a haven of peace and calm. Echoing what they meant to our ancient ancestors, Willow Row is a secular monument for the safe storage of cremation ashes, a unique venue for commemorative events and funerals. The barrow also provides a venue for education, intimate performance, and peaceful contemplation.
