Explore a great historic London cemetery on Halloween with CBA London

Come along with us for an atmospheric autumn visit to West Norwood Cemetery, one of London's famous 'Magnificent Seven' Victorian cemeteries Opened in 1837, West Norwood Cemetery is a remarkable landscape of Victorian funerary architecture, elaborate monuments and fascinating stories of London's past. Its Gothic tombs, imposing mausoleums and historic graves offer a window into changing attitudes towards death, remembrance and burial in the nineteenth century. We'll explore the cemetery's rich history, discover some of the people buried here and consider what its monuments and memorials can tell us about Victorian society and the archaeology of death. The visit starts at 11am and there will be plenty of time for questions. As ever, we'll adjourn afterwards to a local pub to mull over all we've seen. **Student special offer** Students in full time education can book for the special rate of £7.50 - and the first booking includes a year's membership of CBA London and priority booking for all our events.
