#31DaysofGraves day 1 #flower #WardsendCem #Sheffield UK.
William Henry Denton was a file striker and a beerhouse keeper - working men often combined their work in the Sheffield trades with selling alcohol. This ornate grave is part of what I think of as 'Publicans' Row'. #SheffieldBurialGrounds

The top of an ornate gravestone of grey stone. The top part is profusely decorated with carved flowers, foliage and fruit. The first name recorded is William Henry Denton, husband of Susannah.
