In this video, we will go over the development of burial places throughout the ages and how they evolved into the graveyards and cemeteries that we know today. From the earliest burial memorials from prehistory to the necropolises of ancient Rome, Anglo Saxon ship burials and the development of churchyards in the middle ages and the huge cemeteries that sprung up in the Victorian age.

Graveyards might have looked the same as they do nowadays during the middle ages but they weren't always used in the same way. They were gathering spots for the local community and markets and fairs could be held inside churchyards. The graves were also not always permanent and could be reused from time to time.
