About

Guided walking tours from April to September on Fridays at 4.00 p.m. to discover Stories in Stone at Overleigh Old Cemetery. You'll discover the fascinating stories of some of those laid to rest here, including Mary Jonas, mother of 15 sets of twins, Edward Langtry, husband of Edward VII's mistress who went mad and died in the local lunatic asylum, William Bidulph Cross, who made his own illuminated coffin from thousands of wooden matchboxes and many others. I also offer private walking tours of Chester city centre at a time convenient for the client, taking in some of Chester's quaint pubs, historic churches ancient walls and medieval Rows.
