The Sign Design Society have just secured an exclusive lettering tour of Highgate Cemetery. We have arranged for stonemason Neil Luxton to give us a guided tour of the lettering in the cemetery. Neil conducts stonemasonry workshops, and his work can be seen in monuments and headstones around the cemetery, but we thought it would be really interesting to get his views on the rich trove of lettering on view across the cemetery. [In case you’ve not heard of it, Highgate is arguably London’s best-known cemetery, renowned for its beauty and views, and for being the resting place of Karl Marx among others.]
The tour, of two hours’ duration, will take place in the afternoon on Thursday 24 July, and will include a stop for refreshments afterwards nearby (venue: tbc). What better way to spend a summer afternoon?
