About this Event

During the 19th Century wealthy occupants of tombs wanted to be ?in a position to leave their coffins should? they be interred prematurely.

The tombs were therefore not buried and being open to the air, the decomposing bodies? of the wealthy occupants were inclined to smell? – hence the term ‘stinking rich’.
