The sun goes down on mausoleum hill



The end of the day in Compton. The English countryside can be a strangely sinister place. Concealed beyond the curve of this mound-like hill is a graveyard rife with the tender fallen of WW I, plus the tomb of the abstruse and transcendental artist G.F. Watts, all presided over by the demented funerary chapel designed by his wife.
