A closer shot of the restored headstone
The broken headstone in the foreground of the original photograph has been restored. The original outline can be seen against a new backing in my photograph, and it's been plastered but you can see where the cracks were.
The big gum tree on the left, which doesn't exist in the original photo, is starting to lift some of the graves with its roots. It's nice that they took the ivy off the church, the stonework is so pretty.
This was taken right in the back corner of the graveyard. No snow today, it was about 25 degrees and very sunny! You can just see the top of the spire and the gravestones that line this photograph up.
I had to lean over a hedge to get this one!
This tree is completely blocking the church! But it looks like the right spot, from the position of the gravestones. This is actually taken much further from the church than it appears in the original photo, I had a lot of trouble finding the two smaller headstones in the foreground, they are nearly at the back of the graveyard.
Note the gravestone which isn't in the Archive repost is there - I think it had fallen over and has been 'replanted'
The tree in the original picture is gone
This photograph is a 'closest possible'...where the original photographer stood, there is now a very large tree!
Judging by the gravestones, the location is correct...that tree has got kind of big!
Amazing how beautifully it's lasted
It's a different tree in the way of this rephotograph!
I couldn't get the exact angle on this photograph, because administrative buildings have been built on the place where the original photograph was taken. This was as close as I could manage.
In the original picture, you can see the ivy that used to climb the sides of the church, gone now.
The roofed gate has been added since
Trees are gone, and the St John's offices are visible in the background.
Not so different - now has a car park and much bigger trees!

The little tree in the foreground of the original photo has grown somewhat...
The ivy has long gone - now the green tint is supplied by a hedge
