While Suffolk is justly famed for its historic churches, the gravestones and churchyard memorials surrounding these are often overlooked or ignored.  This book presents the first coherent historical survey of Suffolk gravestones from the Middle Ages onwards, describing their development and explaining the symbolism of gravestone art and design.  It includes a selection of epitaphs, some poignant, some amusing, together with sections on mausoleums, animal graves and unusual burial places such as 'The Boy's Grave' near Newmarket.  Comprehensively illustrated throughout, this is a unique survey of a fascinating and little investigated area of local history.
