In this video, Jessica, the Museum Guide (that’s me!), takes you on a comprehensive guided cemetery tour of the most famous graves on the East Side of Highgate Cemetery. We explore the history, symbolism, and architecture of this iconic place of rest, and visit its most remarkable residents.
Be sure to watch Part 1, about the older West Side, which delves deeper into the history of the cemetery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNwlsxubs5A
