Small-Group St. James Cemetery Tour in Liverpool
Duration
2 hours
Overview
-
Be amazed on this unmissable and essential tour as you hear about Liverpool – the second city of the Empire and the influence it had on the rest of the World.
Liverpool expanded rapidly during the late Georgian and Victorian period. The wealthy began moving away from the overcrowded river front and were living in grand Georgian terraces. Interspersed with these grand houses were court dwellings (or slum housing) fitted into any available space. These were the early examples of social housing.
With many of the church graveyards full and no nearby cemetery the need arose for a new one.
A disused and depleted stone quarry became a great leveller where the rich and poor from this expanding Liverpool population were buried alongside each other.
See the final resting places of Slavers, Pirates, Plantation Owners and wealthy Merchants.
The visit is enhanced by the opportunity to produce your very own works of art with wax rubbings taken directly from the stone monuments and memorials.
