Acclaimed author Thomas Hardys first job, in the 1860s, was at St. Pancras Old Church, where he helped to exhume thousands of skeletons from the cemetery in the way of the new Midland Railway line. The bones were reburied, but Hardy was left with the gravestones. He got rid of some by stacking them around a young ash tree. Whether or not he meant the solution to be permanent, roots and stone are today completely fused. The ancient churchyard, once a haunt of grave robbers, is now one of the most peaceful places in busy St. Pancras. Via CNN
