There are 166,000 names engraved in the 51,000 headstones of Highgate Cemetery.
Each life a story.
Stories of love and hate...
Of joy and sorrow...
Of murder and exhumation.
THE SEXTON'S TALES
An eighteen-part series for radio, broadcast by the BBC between 1995-97, the Sexton's Tales are the true life stories of the Victorian men and women which four generations of grave diggers have sat and told one another, whenever the weather proved too inclement to go about their business. They are yarns of the famous and infamous, of derring-do and darstadly deeds. A fading mirror to a society which shaped our own as no other before.
