Dickens tours at Highgate Cemetery anyone?
Although Dickens himself is (of course) interred in Westminster Abbey, Highgate holds a number of Dickens relatives including his parents, two of his siblings, his wife and his baby daughter - as well as other people
prominent in his life. The tour is once a week, at 16.30 on Saturdays, costs £10 for adults and £8 for students, and lasts for about an hour and a quarter - slightly longer than the regular cemetery tours. You get to see parts of the cemetery that regular tours don't usually visit - as well as elements, such as the catacombs, well worth a visit in their own right. At the moment the tour is running on a trial basis dependent on interest.
This would be combined with a trip first to "Abney Park in Stoke Newington, London, formerly one of the ‘magnificent seven’ garden cemeteries of London, is now a woodland memorial park and Local Nature Reserve managed by the Abney Park Trust. We offer free public access, and educational facilities - including a small stone carving workshop, training centre/ classroom, and visitors centre."
Please contact Anne Scott to register your interest."
