La Martiniere College, Lucknow

The grave of John Spence in whose name Spence Hall at the Mart was named. The grave st the Nishatganj cemetery, Lucknow is in decent condition considering the fact that no one does anything for its upkeep. However, owing to the lack of space for burials old graves are being systematically levelled for fresh burials. This is done selectively. The Martiniere should show some interest here maybe by having the grave tended to for All Souls Day.

This pic was taken from the embankment that has separated what was the lake from the school. The lake area remains dry most of the year.
