A man visiting his parents' graves in Kingswood said the grass there was so overgrown it "resembled a jungle". The visitor to Holy Trinity Church, who preferred not to be named, has spoken out after a mourner complained about the state of another Bristol cemetery.
The man, who now lives in Cheddar, was visiting the grave of his parents last year and took photographs of the overgrown churchyard. Although the photos are not recent, he claimed they "show a truly appalling picture of years of neglect, unlike at Shirehampton where there has been a temporary lapse of attention".
He was referring to Shirehampton Cemetery, after another Bristol resident was left in tears at the 'appalling state' of the grass on a recent visit to the graves of her parents and son. She had said that the issue of overgrown grass and other plants was not just confined to her family's graves, but the entire cemetery and added that it had been going on for a number of years.
