 Lucy Coleman-Talbot, researcher and volunteer at Crossbones Graveyard, has collaborated with sculptor Adrian, and illustrator Emily Vanns, to create a moving and sensitive art installation, which documents and brings to the fore the names and stories of people buried at Crossbones.  

 The installation, which includes reconstructions of coffins found on the site by Museum of London archaeologists, including one of a child, will be in place for the public to visit until Sunday 31st October.   

On the final day, Lucy will give a talk about the project and the final two burials that took place at Crossbones after its forced closure will be honoured. Tickets for this event, 'The Last Burials at Crossbones Graveyard' are available via Eventbrite here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-last-burials-at-crossbones-graveyard-tickets-182643390297?aff=ebdssbdestsearch
