London's many cemeteries, churches, and graveyards are the last resting
places of a multitude of important people from many different walks of
life. Politicians, writers, and military heroes rub shoulders with
engineers, courtesans, artists, and musicians, along with quite a few
eccentric characters. Arranged geographically, this comprehensive guide
describes famous graves in all the major cemeteries and churches in
Greater London, including Highgate, Kensal Green, Westminster Abbey, and
Saint Paul's Cathedral, as well as the city churches and many suburban
parish churches.
The book gives biographical details, information on the monuments, and
is richly illustrated. As well as being a historical guide, it also
serves as an indispensable reference guide for any budding tombstone
tourist.
