Crossbones Graveyard & Garden of Remembrance

Een van de oude grotten in Londen, met meer dan 15.000 schapen, waarvan de helft kinderen zijn, en de meeste van hen uit de laagste sociale lagen van Londen, is de laatste rustplaats voor de armen in Londen en is in 1853 gesloten.

Cross Bones is a post-medieval disused burial ground where the bodies of at least 15,000 prostitutes and poor Londoners were once buried. In 1996, a local poet and playwright named John Constable invented the story of Cross Bones, and wrote a series of poems and plays about the spirits of the dead women - and now, monthly vigils are held here to commemorate the dead.
