❓FAQ: Why wasn't [insert name] included?
In order to ensure the walk isn't too long, we do have to cap the number of people featured (otherwise we'd need headlamps to keep wandering through the night). Most of the inspiration and information used is pulled from the collection at the Museum.
If you have suggestions, and more importantly information that can be added to the collection and utilised at any future Cemetery Walks, please get in touch.
