    Thomas Willson’s Metropolitan Sepulchre

    Thomas Willson’s Metropolitan Sepulchre

    Finding an affordable, respectable place to live in Georgian or Victorian London was ever a problem, and one which citizens could not escape even in death. Overpopulation of the city’s major graveyards caused public scandals due to sanitation issues, as well as regular olfactory affronts and a macabre mockery of Christian dignity.
