06. Explore St Marks Cemetery (12 Sept at 1400)
About this Event
The guided tour will cover the influence of Robert Cruickshank in the building of St Mark’s church as part of his development of Crescent Road and his vision to create ‘Angelseyville’ within the village of Alverstoke in the mid-19th century as a spa venue to rival Bath.
The guide will describe the demise and demolition of the church in the early 20th century and, at the same time, develop the stories connected to the eight admirals and six generals interred in the cemetery, together with the histories and local links to some of the 260 people buried there.
Duration approx: 60 minute tour plus question time.
Please arrive 15 mins before tour start time.
