About this product

Product Information

With the growth of English cities during the Industrial Revolution came a booming population too vast for churchyards. Beckett Street Cemetary in Leeds was to become the first municipal cemetary in the country. This study relates how the cemetary was started and run, and describes the developing feuds between denominations. The author draws upon newspaper articles, archive material and municipal records to tell the stories of many of the people who lie there, from tiny infants, soldiers and victims of crime to those who perished in the great epidemics of Victorian England. The study aims to throw new light on the occupations and pastimes of Victorian cities, and their problems with law and order, and child, education and religious provision.
