It looks like a graveyard clearance, no longer common, but the victorians went in for them in a big way. Entire graveyards would be cleared on a fairly regular basis, usually the gravestones would be moved to the side of the graveyard, but it looks like they chose something more interesting to do with them wherever @marcom found to take that photo.
It's all to do with space in the graveyards.

If I'm correct it's a picture of the Hardy Tree at St Pancras old church. When the railway was being built, the coffins of the people buried where relocated and there was no need to move the head stones. Rather then throw them away, Tom Hardy placed the stones in a circular pattern around a tree.
This is some odd info which I'd never of know if I hadn't been assigned a uni project at that location...
