Media Reviews
Who's Buried Where in London is a fascinating guide to who's who in the capital’s many cemeteries, churches and graveyards. Not merely for family history fans who, as we all know, love wandering around cemeteries, it is jam-packed with information on more than 1,000 people laid to rest in London over the centuries, with juicy biographical gems of the kind you may catch yourself relaying to others, and a literal step-by-step guide to where to find their gravestones, memorials or final resting places. * Family Tree Magazine *
This is a comprehensive work, and among the thousands of graves and fascinating folk, the hardest task is to choose which to include and which to leave out. Here, as well as many of ‘the usual suspects’ there is much that is new, and we must thank Peter for venturing further afield, guiding us to the outer boroughs where real gems are to be found. * Guide London – Association of Professional Tourist Guides *
A must-have for anyone who likes to potter around cemeteries and burial grounds. * Highgate Cemetery Newletter *
This new guide to notable graves in the greater London area contains a bonanza of interesting persons… It provides what the cemetery visitor often wants: a selection of top names and instructions for finding their resting places. * Friends of Brompton Cemetery *
