For 2015 we are using a new venue – The Carr Lane Conference Centre in Birmingham and the event will take place on Saturday 3 October. The speakers and subjects have not yet been decided, but further details will appear here in due course. Hopefully by having the conference in the middle of England will make it accessible to people who could not travel to Manchester or London.

Birmingham, burial

A short booklet by J M Wall produced in partnership with The Coffin Works and the Jewelry Quarter Research Trust. It describes the problems with urban burial and the solution. The booklet is focused on Birmingham but is relevant to all I think. You can view the booklet via this link.
