Sadly, I just read about the eminent demise of this grand old lady and it's heartbreaking. Mr. Motts, some of your best work was done here. Some of the most emotional and passionate comments and debates were made in these galleries. Your photography will be an important & invaluable resource for future generations. I sincerely hope that future generations will learn how destructive vandalism & theft is to a historic building. RIP Norwich.

Lovely images.
Thank you, Motts, for sharing your work and journeys with us.
And thank you for the close-up view of the carved roses in the last picture. Amazing craftsmanship.

It's an AC air handler. Looks like it may be due for a filter change. Just saying...

Another great gallery, thanks Mr. Motts. Your lovely photos do justice and honour to the dead. The one with the glass and the roses is just beautiful, and your closeup shot of the roses is wonderful. Thanks for showing this to us.

I work for a Sprint-Nextel contractor, I have spent many hours on this site on maintenance and upgrades of cellular base station equipment, while the grounds are dead, the water tower is very actively moniored and has active equipment for 3 different cellular carriers, the state's 800MHz public safety radio network, and the Feds. I would advise steering clear of this area, it is montiored on both video surveilance and the po-po will come a running fast if anything trips. Other than that, this is an eerie place, I've worked many near abandoned properties that house active cell sites and this one is the creepiest I was ever in.

Timeless beauty, and it's nice to see those who rest here given respect.
That is no vandalism or graffiti.
The artwork and architecture seem so peaceful yet majestic.

Very nice photographs indeed. That's a very old cemetery with some exceptional stonework. That kind of workmanship is going by the wayside with chemical etching and laser cutting being the pre-eminent method of stonework for cemeteries.
Well done.
