Twenty interesting memorials to visit. Containing a map and details of some of the Victorian and Edwardian residents of Tunbridge Wells who are buried in the cemetery.



The front cover depicts Lady Allison Fairbairn as painted by William Holman Hunt. [Currently on exhibition in Torre Abbey Museum].Lady Fairbairn, surrounded by her children is presented as the archetype Victorian Angel in the House, whilst her well-dressed children frolic in the beautiful surroundings of the grounds of the family estate. Silver tea urns, oranges and coral jewellery suggest family wealth and the tethered deer symbolize a taming of nature in true Pre-Raphaelite style.



Other memorials include an asylum physician, a Lt Colonel in the Bengal Lancers, a Regency courtesan and a suffragette.
