The wall

Reading has an area called Cemetery Junction. Some of you may have seen the Ricky Gervais film of the same name. Quite often I drive past the said cemetery but in all the years I have lived here I have never stopped and gone inside. Until today.
The striking thing about it was that there are 2 separate areas divided by this low wall. One side was for the 'good' Anglicans and the other for the 'bad' people of other faiths  who were called The Dissenters.
It was opened in the mid 1800's and was full by the end of WW2 (although there are still a few burials taking place in family plots).
