Reading Old Cemetery Tour
For those interested in Berkshire's rich history
Join Liz Tait for a look around Reading's iconic Old Cemetery at Cemetery Junction in East Reading. The cemetery was set up by a private act of Parliament in 1842. It was one of many cemeteries built in the Victorian era as the population grew rapidly.
During the tour, you will learn more about the cemetery from its origins and changes over time, to the famous and not-so-famous people interred there. Discover why there is a large concentration of war graves there. If you’re lucky, you may even spot some of the cemetery’s famous wildlife.
Numbers are limited, so pre-booking is required.
