ABODE OF THE FLESH
A guided tour of Abney Park cemetery with the Doyennes of Death
This event is part of the London Month of the Dead

Cemeteries are our outdoor archives. Tangible time capsules. Accessible fragments of our collective heritage and individual tales of love and loss. Join the Doyennes of Death as they guide you on a journey through Abney Park cemetery with exclusive access inside the mortuary chapel. Along the way, you will learn the history of Abney Park cemetery, as one of the Magnificent Seven Victorian garden cemeteries, alongside the more hidden histories and intriguing tales discovered in the archives now newly brought to life. 

TICKETS £12 including a 20% donation to Abney Park Cemetery


Doyennes of Death
Doyennes of Death is the brainchild of cemetery historians Romany Reagan and Samantha Perrin: a two-woman team of storytellers who share their love of history and the remarkable lives of the interred from a feminine perspective. A mix of tragic figures and fearless avengers, Doyennes of Death tours celebrate the lives of London’s forgotten heroines amongst the crumbling stones and grey ladies. It’s Victoriana with brass knuckles.
