Gravestone Geology Walk - St Mary and St John, Cowley Road
St Mary and St John, Cowley Road, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX4 1UR
The wide range of rock types used for gravestones means that cemeteries can be geological treasure-troves. We will be referring to the history of graveyard design and demonstrating changes in styles of gravestones. Join geologists Nina Morgan and Philip Powell on a guided geological walk through St Mary and St John, Cowley Road. You'll never look at cemeteries in the same way again!
Group size limited to 15 per walk – so booking will be essential.
