In her richly illustrated cultural history, author Georgia Rauer tells the anecdotal story of the rise, decline and rediscovery of London’s seven large Victorian garden cemeteries. She describes the cultural, aesthetic and economic significance of the cemeteries in the 19th century, providing a surprising insight into Victorian life in London.
“The best book I have ever read about London’s garden cemeteries”. Bob Flanagan, Chairman Friends of West Norwood Cemetery, London
