About this Event
Rest in Peace, so the old saying goes. Except many of the dead in early 19th century London didn't.
Imagine living in a time when you feared for your dearly departed. Watch towers. Cemetery guns. Round the clock vigils. Anything was deployed to ensure the dead didn't end up on the anatomist's table.
Join public historian Sheldon K. Goodman of the Cemetery Club as he explores the City of London, where tales of grave robbing and other tales of horror connect to a grim and terrible practice, whilst also looking at medical history in the Square Mile.
The tour will begin in front of the statue to the Duke of Wellington, which itself is in front of The Royal Exchange and we shall end at the Hand and Shears pub down Cloth Fair, where you will be welcome to join Sheldon for refreshment (and to warm up).
The closest transport links are Bank, which has connections to the DLR and Central Lines. Monument station is also a short walk away.
