Tour of Victorian Cemetery with the Countess of Bridgewater
Come and meet the wealthiest woman in Victorian Britain!
The chatelaine of Ashridge House, Charlotte Catharine Countess of Bridgewater, donated the land for the Rectory Lane Cemetery to Berkhamsted in 1842 - when the churchyard of St Peter's was full to bursting. Thank goodness!
The Countess invites you to discover more about the establishment of the Cemetery and some of her contemporaries buried there.
This event is suitable for young and old, under 18s are free.
This tour is part of the October 2019 Chilterns Walking Festival. Tickets available via their website.
