Bio
I'm Sheldon, a public historian and tour guide who runs Cemetery Club, a blog and collective which sees cemeteries as museums of people.
I conduct walking tours in many London cemeteries, including the first LGBTQ+ tour looking at the dead of Brompton Cemetery and have created programming for cemeteries based in Birmingham and Bristol exploring the queer histories buried within. I have worked with the National Archives, Ipswich Museum, Grant museum and Royal Parks as a heritage professional.
A polite reminder to some users on this site - the memorials you create and manage do not give you ownership over the memory or lives you are acknowledging. We're custodians of lives long gone: do not gate keep knowledge.
