About

Julie Dunk examines how Victorian-era cemeteries were established and how that history connects to today’s cemetery provision pressures.

Julie Dunk traces the Victorian origins of most UK cemeteries and considers the pressures that legacy creates for burial provision today. This talk is upstairs at the Town Hall in the newly renovated Corn Exchange. Tea and coffee are available from 7pm; the talk starts at 7:30pm and is expected to finish around 9pm.
