Event information
NB Meet 1:45pm British Summer Time!
Discover the lost history of Cross Bones, a late-medieval paupers' and prostitutes' burial ground in the heart of the Borough. John Constable recounts its desecration, rediscovery, and current restoration as a public open space and garden of remembrance.
John is a local writer who first revealed the Cross Bones story in his book The Southwark Mysteries, and was the driving force behind the campaign to establish a place to 'honour the outcast'.
The Cross Bones Walk takes us round The Liberty of the Clink, its theatres, bear-pits, prisons and brothels licensed by the Bishop of Winchester. We finish at Cross Bones, the final resting place of the 'Winchester Geese'.
Today's walk also celebrates the first day of British Summer Time - please be sure you're with us at 1.45pm for departure at 2pm sharp!
Under 16s are welcome if accompanied by an adult
