If you get a chance, Nottingham has two good cemeteries, Church (aka Rock) and Canning Circus. Rock Cemetery is a particular favourite of mine: not so much for the monuments, which are spectacular but not remarkable for the era (but notable for how congested they are), but the setting, a former sandstone quarry full of caves and erosion and multiple levels (weirdly reminiscent of the dome of the National Botanical Gardens of Wales) and for St Ann's Valley, which is a deep depression perhaps twenty or thirty foot down with a path round the edge to access it and at the bottom flat slabs marking the mass graves of poor infants in the first half of the twentieth century.
