War Graves tour with Abney Unearthed

  • Abney Park Trust Stoke Newington High Street London, England, N16 0LH United Kingdom (map)

Join Abney Unearthed for a tour held in recognition of War Graves Month. Learn more about the lives of the fallen soldiers buried in Abney Park - including those with Commonwealth War Grave Commission memorial stones and those commemorated on the headstone of their family grave.

Funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Hackney Council, Abney Unearthed is an exciting  project to remap the Abney Park Cemetery and discover more about the people buried there. A team of dedicated volunteers are adding missing information to the burial records and researching the people, bringing their diverse stories to life.

Places are limited - please book your free ticket below.

Meeting point:
Please use the Stoke Newington High Street entrance and follow the cobbled walkway to the end, where the path splits into three and there is a circle of cobbles.

Access information:
The Church Street entrance has ramp access and there is level access at the High Street entrance, near to the cafe, which has accessible facilities. 
The walk will mostly be along the main paths, with some smaller paths being used.
The paths can be muddy after wet weather so we advise wearing sturdy walking shoes.
There are benches at regular intervals throughout the park, providing seating if needed.
Accompanying carers are welcome. Access dogs are welcome to join the walk.
