graves

Old North Burying Ground, Middlefield, CT: "Middlefield is so named so because it's halfway between Middletown and Durham, Middletown and Meriden. For such a small community, Middlefield has an abundance of wonderful history that goes back to the late 1600's and many first settlers of Connecticut. The Old North Burying Ground was established for those living west of Middletown and the first burial was in 1738."

BTW in Denmark heavy rains are causing sink holes of up to half a meter when coffins collapse under the weight of the saturated soil. . . so walk carefully between the graves.
