The story of how Temperance Lloyd, Mary Trembles and Susanna Edwards came to the gallows is a tragic one that serves as a dark reminder of England's superstitious past 🧙‍♀️ bit.ly/342Oyce

Some people think visiting cemeteries is morbid, but they used to be popular places of recreation: This 1881 Globe article noted how, "The city burial grounds vie with the city parks in their attractions for the idler on a summer day," and were, "thronged" with visitors. 👍👍

Sir John was a trustee of #GeorgesMeetingHouse in Exeter which administered our graveyard. Several members of the Bowring family were also buried here. He was an extraordinary polymath. @devonassoc

It was great to see a constant stream of people @nixpriory today. Todd Gray's talks about the newly discovered 1743 map of Exeter by William Birchynshaw were well attended and @DevonHeritage had it on display. I hope this excellent event can be repeated in 2020. Thanks to all.
