The wide range of rock types used for gravestones means that cemeteries can be geological treasure-troves – and provide a wonderful introduction to geology and other sciences. Social history comes into it too. Join geologists Nina Morgan and Philip Powell on a geological walk through Holywell Cemetery, one of the cemeteries described in their book, The Geology of Oxford Gravestones. You’ll never look at cemeteries in the same way again!
