Our guided walks around the cemetery usually result in our volunteers relating stories of the lives of notable men with a link to Plymouth, although our researchers do their best to include at least one or two women who fit the profile of the theme of each walk.

As part of our involvement with Plymouth History month, we decided that it was time to focus on some of the remarkable women who are buried in the cemetery.

This coming Sunday, starting at 2pm our walk will tell of the lives of women such as Mabel Ramsay, Ann Farley, Rosina Whitelegg and Mary Ann Hockaday.

There may be a passing reference to one or two husbands but we can promise that this afternoon really is all about our remarkable women.
