Since then, the English have memorialised their dead in ever-changing ways, providing taphophiles with a glorious pick-and-mix of social histories and archaeological mysteries on their doorstep.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn churchyards and cemeteries across England, curious monuments rise between the graves; beautiful, unusual, striking and downright... odd. Memorials to the Dead chronicles over 100 of the grandest and strangest graves on English soil--including many obscure memorials unknown to most local residents and cemetery enthusiasts--unveiling a little-known world of death and remembrance that exists alongside our own. From the graves of circus performers to 'time machines', a man killed by 'small beer' and a Victorian grave so popular that it launched its own line of merchandise, \u003ci\u003eMemorials to the Dead\u003c\/i\u003e presents a fascinating overview of England's best-hidden histories in atmospheric and detailed photographs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fonthill Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781036156589\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96","brand":"Kate Cherrell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53195237720245,"sku":"9781036156589","price":28.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/9781036156589.jpg?v=1788273544","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/memorials-to-the-dead-a-journey-into-englands-most-unusual-graves-9781036156589","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
