Bruton Parish Cemetery Williamsburg, VA The eternal occupants of the cemetery surrounding Bruton Parish Church rest in the shadow of a colonial history preserved for posterity in the form of Colonial Williamsburg. Daily crowds of tourists walk the path that leads one through the church yard into the sanctuary of the Diocese of Southern Virginia's Williamsburg parish. Although one has access to a number of closely placed tombs, access is denied the public to the greater part of the burial grounds. One must be content to gaze across the grassy area and imagine the enormous history that must lie in the compact manicured church yard. Cemetery Photographed October 30, 2004. |
