An exploration of some of the unusual and colourful headstones in the Archer Street cemetery.Retired archivist and Wairarapa historian Gareth Winter will lead you through the tales of some of the region's unusual characters, their life stories now largely forgotten - young men whose lives were cut short miles from their family - women who died in childbirth, and the ladies whose spiritualist group was known as "The Spooks".
