George 'Graveyard' Walker campaigned against the "unwise & revolting custom" of overcrowded urban burial. In the late 1840s he bought Enon Chapel in London and personally funded the removal of 4 van loads of remains to Norwood cemetery #histmed #ManMedProject

A useful guide to Punjabi and Sikh Heritage Sites in the UK. I created this map ten years ago to help some Americans that were visiting. It could do with a bit of updating but if you're visiting the UK this summer it's a good start. goo.gl/maps/ELyeJaLE3112

For today #FridayFinds we need your help! Despite our research during these days, we haven't been able to identify or to properly understand the function of this strange #bronze item. Does any of you have ever seen an object like this? Or does someone dare to make hypothesis?
