from the grave permanently. He from PTSD. And one day one of
the groundskeepers witnessed him at the grave speaking out
loud. And he turned around and her lady, her name was Hannah
Dredge. Her husband never got was a veteran of the Boar War.
So most likely the man suffered and devout supporters were the
ones that paid for their I am absolutely blown away by
the history of this lady and time. On the resting places
here in Brompton Cemetery. Like Fashion House which is started
here by British designers for the 1998 John Galiano

muse for several artists and familiar. Yes, I know where I'm
going now. Yeah, I'm gonna find have stories to tell. These are
the oblisques as well. A bit that is saying I shouldn't be
doing it to me because it's painters. And they have a
little dedication to her here. Egyptology. And the mysticisms
of Egypt. So she's at eternal more about her. She sounds
incredible is the grave of they ran out of money and

they're situated. We'll have a minute. But one of the
favourite graves and an so many different symbols on

recently learning about this. catacombs and they're only open

fascination with Egypt. Quite draped over that one. We'll
find a cloth iron now shortly couldn't have been around the
time of King Charles. But look at that the eh features of the

Alexander Anderson a royal definitely Halloweenesque. It
ties in with my dark side of Central Avenue. Now look at
this rather curious grave here. So next I'm gonna take you to
see some of the graves of some ghosts of the pharaohs. There
was even talk about a ghost of 61677 is that right? 1877. I'm
so sorry I was wondering. I At the very least you can help

have a little walk around here. out you guys. Alright we're
getting out of here. Now if the Can I push it in? Oh no I can't
go in there. I'm too freaked London. So that's the
mysterious tomb of Hannah nothing about as well. My God

they didn't want any men centre. It's quite alarming
because there's nobody around screaming through the

father of her three daughters one of the foremost experts on
the study of hieroglyphics in locksmith they wouldn't be able

invented during the Victorian So we could try and have a
little look inside and to the tour. So we'll speak
about him in just a minute but but the reason I'm so obsessed
with him is because of his Kertroy who had a master mass

sculpture, traveller and and adventures. So he was a
very wealthy man and when he died he left his entire

her death's certificate as certain times of the year
expecting some sort of a legend has it that the pharaohs
were the ones that had Egypt to the British and the
French and advances in here as well. Now there's
another mystery here. Every with Egyptian culture. And of
course Cleopatra's needle I think you'll agree which also
has its own time travelling single and she did remain

So you could actually be buried lot to thank him for with the
science of epidemiology. This have a look around and see some
of the grander tombs and Victoria was so impressed by
his work that she herself was under the tree. I'm being
followed by this squirrel all looks like it's been
decapitated or cut off. That around the 1850s there was a
very serious colour outbreak in that most people all of them
that had died had been using problem. And he started
actually by using a map. And he dove or is it an albino crow?
That has just landed on top of at the time. Um I'm just
showing you how peaceful and people to spend so much money
on these rituals. So it kind of a very famous Egyptologist. And

became a bit more let's see that movie. She only plays a
small role in it but I believe fought and died for the right
for women to vote Now that you'll see the famous Chelsea
Westminster Hospital and the would use it for remembrance
However, after 1918 and the She's wonderfully played
actually by Marrow Street in stunning one. Now in a moment
I'm gonna take you over to see could have multiple burials on
the same plant. Look at this she takes on the role of one of
the suffrages and they did a halfway up the tower of what we
call Big Ben the Elizabeth come until 10 years later. But
look at that. Isn't that including one that you will see
on the bottom of my city of railings at the end of mansion

the option of being buried you later on in the background.
You're going to see oh there's would come here and they would
cry by the graves and they I believe the purple is for
dignity. The white is for hope the amount of people that died
in both of those tragedies for side tomb. Now Victorians took
the rituals of death very very of the city of London. But also
she spent time in a prison cell unfinished column. Another
example to symbolise a life cut place. So the Victorians really
knew how to build these on Wilk Street where the Jack

good cemetery. Look at that here. Somebody has the flag of
the suffrage movement here. And Major Maine died August 1851.
It's a little hard to read the movie Suffolget. Kerry
Mulligan has the key role in some issues with the audio so I
had to record this offsite. stunning angel. But the Celtic

see the ladies feeding the was entirely intentional
because the idea of it behind this grave here and you will
see the top, the angel's head very end but I wanted to show
you another very famous grave mausoleans because it was the
first visual you would get as and this is where the cholero
is coming from. Now Johnson was you were walking down to the
the Grand Circle right at the and see if I can read it
properly for you but look at with the ritual of death. They
were obsessed with gravestones. The bigger the gravestones the
better the life led. They were death was a common place. But
the Victorians were obsessed also a pioneer in the in the
world of anesthesiology. Um he 1872. Yeah it's a little
difficult to decipher. I'll try epidemic. Now cholera of course
was common place in Victorian being transmitted through the
water system and he immediately usually on the Central Avenue

legend of the only time machine elaborate one under the tree as
well ladies and gents. Look at while. Now I'm gonna bring you
over. I wanna tell you a path one of the most famous
doctors in history responsible resting very peacefully here.
Now Highgate as stunning as it obsessed with symbolism and
imagery as well and we will see bits of them. Um for example,
if you have a quick look at thinking that's symbolic. A
white dove is it? Looks like a Chelsea Football Ground,
Stanford Bridge. So it's quite match on the background and you
can hear all the screaming and administered and a eccentric

prove too popular with people rich and the middle classes
would have beautiful tombs et bit of history. I don't wanna
ruin the surprise but look at pump. Now, he had found when he
investigated this water pump there was room for thousands of
burials in there. There's still that. Isn't that exquisite
ladies and gents? Resting everybody thought that like
infectious disease was airborne what I'm looking for. for saving millions and
millions of lives and of course after the pandemic of the last
two years as well. We have a was one of a team of doctors

successful Victorian actor in playwright. He was just 44 when
he died and his graves an of here by the royal parks. But
also assisted by the friends of Tower. It's a little prison
cell in there. Now let's just lot of filming of that in the
East End actually right around Emily herself was imprisoned in
well prisons all over London died right before equal rights
were voted in for both men and right. The equal rights for
women ehm alongside men didn't over here and us ladies will be
thankful for her for eternity. right now and the Central
Avenue has some of the most the time by the way. He thinks
I'm gonna feed him. Watch him. London as was a poor sanitation
and lack of fresh water. So and you know so essentially he
was trying to explain to them that by drinking this water
they were infecting themselves disabled the water pump but
people didn't believe him cuz the birth of two of her nine
children. So Doctor John Snow by a cespit underground. So,
essentially fecal matter was people's homes of course and
the water had become infected I'll do a little short as well
to show you the actual water And that centred around an
water pump actually which is slightly on my Soho tour and
one of the other tours ladies and some of my virtual tours
but we'll head back there and located on Broadwick Street in
Soho. Now I do feature this started to map where the most
serious cases were occurring. lives is very very close to
Doctor Golding who was in fact tragic tragic tale of the
Golding family. It just shows perfumery etcetera. So she was
the one that actually supported very very sad they both lost
nine children ladies and gents. she is. Sarah Pellerin Golding.
Um the interesting hers that reference to her here. See if
we can get her name. Yeah there gonna walk further down in a
few minutes and we'll come to you no matter how powerful,
rich and educated you are. You impossible to get through all
of them. But what I will do is Londoners ladies and gents as
an oasis of calm and peace in of high gates, Brompton which
we're entering right now, the famous catacombs. So this
was recently opened this part right here in front of you is
the Central Avenue. But we're the Great Circle which was
modelled on the Piazza at Saint do. They really take advantage
of this incredible space. It's some of the most historical
figures in British history and job. They are volunteers and it
is home and the resting places also managed by the friends of
Highgate who do a wonderful and Tower Hamlets. Now we have
visited Highgate as previously flooding the ehm graves which
were bursting at the seams Christmas Day, Good Friday and
Ascension Day. The public are came about in London. Now the
Magnificant seven compromised would literally body barts
would be washed down the Now infancy infant mortality
rates were exceptionally high incurable diseases at the
whooping cough, typhoid fever, at the time. So not only was
there no space for the living, the factories and on the
railways bringing with them local parish cemeteries were
becoming massively overwhelmed of people were becoming
infected with all types of result of the industrial
revolution and thousands and Seven in the early 1800s here
in London. There was mass be a doctor and he did become a
very impressive doctor was quite a flat boring
underground. So they needed the middle of a busy metropolis
and people come here to paint Doctor Golding in his pursuit
and his career. So she fascinating that are in the
cemetery. Some of you'll be my attention immediately. Look
at that stunning mausolea. This Hospital. He was one of the
directors of the hospital. But and sometimes just have lunch
and have a cup of coffee. So Nine of their children died
predecessed them. So a very University. He came down here
and he was actually in the end quite a popular place to come
but I wanna start off with one gonna have a little reverse
back here. There's a stunning she was a wealthy very wealthy
businesswoman. Uh she owned a Peter's Basilica in Rome. And a
beautiful chapel at the end and 40 acres. There are thirty 5000
no 205, 000 people buried here I'll narrow it down to the 10 I
found to be most intriguing and here. Um in the last I believe
three years or so. So it's a The cemetery is open from half
past one o'clock on Sunday's dead. And this is when the
magnificent seven cemeteries obviously the water was full of
bacteria, cholera epidemics permitted to walk in the
cemetery daily. And indeed they were commonplace. There was no
sewage thousands and thousands there was even more lack of
space for the dead. Now the massive slums. In fact some of
the worst third world slums very different place than it is
today. Looking for work in the thousands of people so flocked
to London in seek of work in he was responsible for the
opening up of Chiringcross actually. What I do want to
mention though which I find is the family tomb of a chap
called Benjamin Golding. And as familiar with some maybe not so
much. But this one first drew you'll see right cited MD
Medical Doctor. Now Benjamin essentially well supported the
family while he was training to of the more famous tombs here.
Now there are several of them coffee shop etcetera. So it's
very much a working cemetery something special to attract
the wealthy and the mausolea and it's hard to figure out how
you would negotiate the entire underachiever ehm in my own
personal life than the but a cemetery for the and the
dead and it's used a lot by learn about. Nothing makes you
feel like more of an about her. But the architect
Benjamin Board initially this one in particular blows my mind
and we'll be speaking a lot I'm gonna talk to you about
quite a few of them and what's as well in the Victorian Times.
So immediately something needed places I have ever seen. But
this is the old inscription. mentioned and that's possibly
one of the most beautiful Parks in London. So effectively
property of the crown but its the only royal park ehm
cemetery managed by the Royal known to humanity were in
London at the time. Now to be done. Cos there was
literally no room to bury the skies all contributed to a
massively high mortality rate. the founding father of the
science of epidemic so I'm just his wife actually I just wanna
see if we can see a little and be creative and people come
here just to reflect to pray speaking of which one man who
saved millions and millions of and 35, 000 tombs and monuments
and mausoleaums. So it's and the tombs that they were
hoping people would build. Now cannot escape in Victorian
Times infant mortality. Now Golding was originally trained
as a doctor in Edinburgh Victorians and I will be
speaking to you about famous Egyptologists, doctors,
scientists, ehm fashionistas, quite amazing about this place
is that the more research I do the more incredibly interesting
and diverse range of people I streets of London. So decay and
