Hidden Histories Tour

Discover stories of the people buried at Sheffield General Cemetery who lived and died in the workhouse, those who suffered in the Great Sheffield Flood, and those who suffered from the cholera epidemic.

This Guided Tour will not take you to the beautiful and impressive gravestones and monuments within Sheffield General Cemetery, but will tell you about some of the women, men and children whose lives were just as important, many of whom contributed to the continued success of society at the time through their hard work and resilience.

Trigger Warning: Please be aware this tour discusses some difficult themes, such as child loss and death, mental health and ill-treatment.

After the tour, join us in the Samuel Worth Chapel for a complimentary tea, coffee, hot chocolate or soft drink. To continue uncovering these hidden histories beyond your tour, tickets are available that include a discounted copy of A Window Into the Workhouse to take home and explore at your own pace.
