YORK Cemetery will open its gates to residents as part of an annual event.
The cemetery will be open for the York Residents’ Festival between 10am and 4pm on Sunday, February 1. The genealogy office will be open to allow residents to search its computerised records between 11am and 3pm, with special rates for information meaning there will be no fee if no information is found.
Cemetery experts will also be leading guided walks throughout the day, with themes around history and nature, and tours of the catacombs, which are not normally open to the public.
