Death in Victorian England: Wicked Wednesdays
Step into the shadows of history as we embark on a journey into the intriguing and often unsettling world of death in Victorian England. In this episode, we unveil the forgotten tales, sombre rituals, and curious customs that surrounded mortality during this distant era.
Join us as we explore the mournful landscapes of Victorian burials and body burials stuffed under floorboards. Unravel the mysteries of mourning attire, and delve into the societal attitudes towards death and the afterlife. From the mesmerizing rituals of mourning jewellery to the macabre London necropolis railway system carrying corpses from inside London.
Welcome to a captivating exploration of the mysteries that lie beneath the surface of history and a London chapel or two.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
