This is a relaxed, informal opportunity to explore the site, chat with Dr Myra Giesen, the BHBG project lead, and learn more about ongoing efforts to rediscover and share the stories of those connected to this historic space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the session, we will also be continuing our gravestone recording work<\/a>, a key activity designed to document and preserve the site\u2019s memorials. This work supports the long-term protection of inscriptions and contributes to the wider historical record. You\u2019re welcome to observe, ask questions, or have a go at recording if you’re interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re a regular visitor, a first-time passer-by, or simply curious about the site\u2019s rich social history, you\u2019re very welcome. We\u2019ll have information on hand about current research, opportunities to get involved, and ways to share your own family or local history knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ballast Hills Burial Ground is part of a growing network of Cemetery Friends across the UK working to ensure these meaningful places are appreciated, cared for, and better understood. You can read more about the national campaign at cemeteryfriends.com\/ncw<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pop by, say hello, and help us celebrate a place that continues to shape our shared heritage.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
