Download or read book Hull General Cemetery 1847 1972 a Short Introduction written by Bill Longbone and published by . This book was released on 2018-09-09 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a short introduction to the general reader who has an interest towards the more neglected parts of history. The story of Hull General Cemetery, the first and only private cemetery that existed in Hull will be fascinating to those interested in the Victorian period. The cemetery was opened in the 1840s and continued to function as a cemetery up to the 1970s. It is the story of how some far-sighted entrepreneurs in Victorian Hull struggled to solve one of the worst problems of the period, namely, how to dispose of the town's dead in a decent and dignified way. However, those entrepreneurs, in tune with those times, still looked upon this venture with the decided aim to make a profit from providing this public service and saw no problem with this dual purpose. The book outlines this dichotomy and records how the Hull General Cemetery Company strived to square this circle ultimately failing.The book also provides a number of pen pictures of some of the notables who are buried in the cemetery. Notables who were instrumental in the development of Hull during this period when it went from a town to a city, from a port whose trade was centred upon whaling and trading with its old Hanseatic links in Northern Europe to the third largest port in the United Kingdom with trade links throughout the world. Names such as John Gravill, master of the ill-fated Diana, one of the last whalers to sail from Hull. Thomas Earle, the noted sculptor, who's statues of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert still grace Pearson Park. And of course, Zachariah Pearson's own humble headstone that stands amongst the much grander monuments and obelisks of his contemporaries.Complete with many rare images of historical importance, the book also contains a large number of original images taken by the authors. It provides a welcome addition to a much-neglected part of the story of Victorian Hull. The book offers, to both the local historian and to someone who's just intrigued by this area of woodland within the city, a chance to learn more about the Hull General Cemetery Company before they visit this haunting yet magical site themselves.

Download or read book Yorkshire written by Nikolaus Pevsner and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1995-03-11 with total page 908 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume sheds light on the pride of the region - the great medieval churches of York Minster, the Minster and St Mary at Beverley, and Holy Trinity, Hull but also on less well known architectural pleasures of town and county. Outstanding Victorian village churches, including masterpieces by Street & Pearson, are as rewarding as the major country houses of Burton Agnes, Burton Constable and Sledmere. The countryside offes a wide range of monuments, from the beautifully sited ruins of Kirkham Priory to the spectacular Humber Bridge. Farmhouses and cottages of the Wolds, picturesque estate villages and chapels, and industrial structures are all brought into focus. A large section is devoted to York and includes a survey of the historic buildings of the city centre from the Roman period onwards. This is complemented by a detailed exploration of York's eighteenth and nineteenth-century suburbs. Equal care has been applied to the descriptions of Beverley, with its attractive townscape, and the port of Hull, where unexpected highlights include seventeenth-century merchant houses, Georgian almshouses, ornate Victorian pubs, and grand Edwardian public buildings.
Download or read book Heritage of Death written by Mattias Frihammar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, death is being reconceptualised around the world as heritage, replete with material markers and intangible performances. These heritages of death are personal, national and international. They are vernacular as well as official, sanctioned as well as alternative. This book brings together more than twenty international scholars to consider the heritage of death from spatial, political, religious, economic, cultural, aesthetic and emotive aspects. It showcases different attitudes and phases of death and their relationship to heritage through ethnographically informed case studies to illustrate both general patterns and local and national variations. Through analyses of material expressions and social practices of grief, mourning and remembrance, this book shows not only what death means in contemporary societies, but also how individuals, groups and nations act towards death.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the third in a series that will examine the development and life of Hull General Cemetery. The series will look at the many facets of this intriguing site; its history, management, social aspects, finances and much more. It will also explore the lives and history of some of the more important inhabitants of the site. Utilising documents and archive material that has never been seen in public before it is hoped that the series will be a useful tool for both the student and local historian not only of this site but for the Victorian Cemetery in general. It is hoped that it will be of use to the family historian too.This volume examines the concept of the public grave and how it was not simply the preserve of the pauper but offered a decent burial to a much wider proportion of the town's population than is generally thought. The relationships that the Cemetery enjoyed with the two local Workhouses during its life, the strains within these relationships, and how the economy of the Cemetery relied upon these relationships is explored. The extent of the burials from the Workhouses are quantified. Finally, two aspects of the Cemetery are explored. The catacombs of the Cemetery are examined. Their design, purpose, occupants and eventual fate are discussed. The Eleanor crosses that adorn three of the graves in the Cemetery are discussed and their inception, makers and which graves they stand upon is outlined along with the personal stories that prompted their erection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the fifth book in the Hull General Cemetery series. It contains four articles on a number of subjects related to the Hull General Cemetery.

The article regarding the Hull General Cemetery Lodge has never been published anywhere before.
