Summary

Did you know that, seen from archaeological perspective, London soil is a layer cake with evidence dating as far as Neolithic era through to Bronze and Iron ages, Roman, Medieval, Post Medieval and Contemporary period?

Much can be learned of the social context and culture by how those populations treated and disposed of their dead, how beliefs and rituals shaped their practices and how material wealth affected their final home.

This one of a kind companion to London famous cemeteries, crypts, catacombs, churchyards and burial traditions, written in original elegantly depicted narrative verse, makes accessible and lightens the otherwise somber subject.
