    É um dos mais bonitos de Lisboa. Mas é também um formidável repositório de histórias da longa e frequentemente acidentada presença britânica em Portugal. Luís Maio (texto) foi descobrir a Lisboa mais inglesa no alto da Estrela. Abrigado por altos muros, sombreado por imponentes árvores centenárias, pequeno e discreto, o Cemitério dos Ingleses (The English Cemetery) é um dos espaços verdes mais românticos (e quase secreto) de Lisboa. Um oásis de tranquilidade, em perfeita sintonia com o Jardim da Estrela, cuja entrada norte se situa ali mesmo em frente, do outro lado da rua. Como sucede com tantos outros cemitérios, no entanto, também esta ilha de serenidade encerra um sortido de histórias fascinantes, insuspeitas ou esquecidas, que se começam a desvelar quando se remove a espessa camada de poeira que torna ilegíveis muitas das suas lápides.

    The British cemetry is very pretty with a lovely garden and most famous for Henry Fielding's grave. It also has thw grave of all British citizens who have died in Lisbon, dating back 250 years. Plus it is the home of St George's church; which is the only Anglican/ Church of England church in Central Lisbon. It has services every Sunday at 11:30am and Thursdays at 12:30pm. They are always so inviting and welcoming and everyone is welcome. The church alone has an incredible history.
