★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Don't be fooled if the main (and only) gate appears to be locked. Just reach inside and pull up the bolt. It is a forgotten wonderland, overgrown, tangled weeds and vines, riot of beautiful red bougainvillea. Many of the tombstones have toppled over and are broken. There are graves dating before the Mutiny in 1857. Lots of young soldiers, with the cause of death on their gravestone - enteric fever, pleurisy. Fatalistic - the most common inscription was "Thy will be done".

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Here lies a man whom friends and foes feared alike. A general at the age of 36, he was known for his vision and swordsmanship. He hated the 'natives' to the core. Died fighting while storming Delhi after the famous Delhi siege in 1857.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A mark of bravery of British soldiers who fought valiantly and resting here. Mainly Jack Nicholson, a 7 feet soldier during his time. It is taken care by Christian/Diocese society. Some of great grand children still come to this place from England to lay their respect to their ancestors. It has lot of history, nostalgic tales, and history of early settlement of Britain Old Delhi. It is near to Kashmiri gate, tees hazari, ludlow castle, Metcalfe house,walled Delhi.
