This afternoon we were wandering the streets around Borough Market and found that the Crossbones Graveyard & Garden of Remembrance which we had passed a few times before, was open to visitors. We didn’t know that much about the place but found out it was a pauper’s burial ground with 15,000+ bodies there. It’s a creative open space with shrines and a garden which is tended and staffed by volunteers. More about it here and here. Do have a look at the links as it’s very interesting stuff. Opening hours are Monday to Friday and some Saturdays 12-3pm.

On the outside of the fence which is adorned with ribbons and trinkets we found this card which led us to find out more about Jason ‘Angryness/Brimstone’ Fisher. There’s a wonderful little film on the weeklytales.com blog about Jason by his Dad, David “Dave 500” Fisher and also features a bit on Crossbones Graveyard too. If you love radio you’ll love this film which is at the top of the page here. Absolutely great stuff!
