WEYF Beverley - Learn about our forefathers.
About this Event
Join us for a guided tour of St Mary’s Cemetery to discover the heritage on your doorstep. Fred Elwell, painter to the King, and his wife are buried here as are many other notable Beverley residents. There are also 25 Commonwealth War Graves in the cemetery, from both world wars. Hear the stories of people like us who were caught up in war but didn’t survive. They include an eighteen-year-old Private in the Green Howards, a Merchant Navy Officer who drowned in the Thames, a 56-year-old Drill Sergeant and a Pilot Officer who won the DFC.
We meet at the gates to the Cemetery (Please not this is not located at the main St Mary’s Church)
