Safeguarding London’s Abney Park Cemetery, Historic England

With support from Historic England's Covid-19 Emergency Response Fund, Abney Park Cemetery has been able to cover costs such as staff wages, and purchase equipment that has allowed them to produce innovative digital content for audiences to enjoy during lockdown. This short video was recorded in the winter of 2020 with Historic England so they could see how we spent the money, find out what we do at the Trust, and get to see the highlights of the park.
