- Book Synopsis
- England's oldest identifiable cemetery was established over 10,000 years ago, founded before the first bricks of the pyramids were laid. Since then, the English have memorialised their dead in ever-changing ways, providing taphophiles with a glorious pick-and-mix of social histories and archaeological mysteries on their doorstep. In churchyards and cemeteries across England, curious monuments rise between the graves; beautiful, unusual, striking and downright… odd. Memorials to the Dead chronicles over 100 of the grandest and strangest graves on English soil-including many obscure memorials unknown to most local residents and cemetery enthusiasts-unveiling a little-known world of death and remembrance that exists alongside our own. From the graves of circus performers to 'time machines', a man killed by 'small beer' and a Victorian grave so popular that it launched its own line of merchandise, Memorials to the Dead presents a fascinating overview of England's best-hidden histories in atmospheric and detailed photographs.
