Walton Cemetery Inscriptions.

Home

Rice Lane City Farm Walton Liverpool.
I have been asked to create a website for Rice Lane Farm
which is situated in the old Walton Cemetery,
so not wanting to let a good opportunity slip away, I'm
giving you an advantage until the above site is officially
up and running.
This is a charity run project for the local children and a small
donation would be most welcome.
You can visit the holding page for the farm by clicking on the
church photo.
The Cemetery is home for the unfortunate inmates of
Walton Hospital formally the dreaded workhouse and
Walton Prison.
One particular resident is the famous Author Robert NOONAN
A.K.A. Robert TRESSELL
of The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists.
