Bevelled edges.  Provenance: Miss Grafftey (no other information). Abney Park in Stoke Newington, was opened on May 20th, 1840, as a non-denominational cemetery and an arboretum of 1,000 trees, which was inspired by George Loddiges, a local Hackney nurseryman. It is one of the 'Magnificent Seven' garden cemeteries of London, but fell into disrepair and was abandoned in the 1970s after the cemetery company went into administration, allowing a uniquely wild atmosphere to develop. It’s been said that an unexploded WWII bomb lies buried somewhere within the grounds. There are rumours, too, that the tasty-looking mushrooms you might see there are bursting with arsenic, thanks to the Victorians’ unwholesome custom of embalming their corpses. And that’s before we even start on the ghost stories. In the first 40 years of its existence, 72,000 bodies were buried there. A second edition was in preparation but never published. Uncommon.
