About

A tour with a difference! Join tour guides Andy and John in the Consecrated A section and the Mayoral quartet.

Concentrating on one of our most interesting areas of the Cemetery - and ideal for those who may not appreciate a lot of walking - your guide, Andy Tyne, will be relating the fascinating stories of some of our residents buried or remembered in one section very close to The Lodge - Consecrated ‘A', and what a rich variety of tales there are.

There's an international sportsman, someone with a truly A1 Undercliffe heritage, another with a name from a Carry On film that didn't quite match his professional history, two brothers who died in the Battle of the Somme, one of the 56 who died in the Bradford City fire disaster and several more.

Continuing the tour, your next guide, John Jackson, will take us round the corner to the Victorian Mayoral Quarter where four of Bradford’s distinguished Mayors are laid to rest. Once regarded as one of the wealthiest cities in the British Empire, he'll share some information that truly reflects Bradford's rich and prosperous heritage.
