In this video, Jessica the Museum Guide (that’s me!) takes you on a detailed guided tour of the most macabre things found in London’s churches, just in time for the Hallowe’en season. We’ll explore the history of body snatching, public hangings, flayed saints, incorruptible bodies, memento mori, haunted mummies, and much, much more.
As always, thanks for watching. Be sure to leave your comments and questions below. If you enjoyed this virtual tour, please consider leaving me a tip at https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/jessicatourguide or buy me a coffee at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/JessicaGuide - Thank you!
