Guided Overleigh Cemetery Tour in Chester
- Type:Horror, Crime, and Dark History
- Duration:90 Minutes
OVERVIEWOpened in 1850, Overleigh Cemetery hosts many fascinating graves and monuments that reflect Chester's rich and diverse history. Every gravestone conceals a life story waiting to be told, and every grave has a hidden history. Led by a qualified and insured Green Badge guide, tours will include visits to around 25 of the most notable graves.
Designed by a famous local architect, T.M. Penson, the cemetery was laid out "with admirable taste" and included two lodges, two chapels, and an ornamental lake with three islands. Humble graves were unmarked or had a simple wooden cross, while the better-off had grander memorials.
You'll discover the extraordinary stories of some of those laid to rest here, including Mary Jonas, who had 33 children, including 15 sets of identical twins; Edward Langry, the husband of Edward VII's mistress, who went crazy and died in the local lunatic asylum; and William Bidulph Cross, who made his own illuminated coffin from wooden matchboxes.INCLUDESQualified and insured Green Badge guide (2022)MEETING AND PICKUPMeeting pointCemeteryMeet at the Cemetery Gate in Overleigh Rd, opposite Blackwells StonecraftOptions and Start timeGuided Overleigh Cemetery Tour in Chester:04:00 PMEnd pointThis activity ends back at the meeting point.WHAT TO EXPECT1: CemeteryThe guide will give a brief description of the background and history of the cemetery, which replaced the cemeteries in the 8 parish churches within Chester city walls which were full by the mid 19th century.
