Talk - The Grave Robbers of Hull and the East Riding
Heritage Open Day: A description of the ancient art grave robbing. This talk will focus upon the long-forgotten crime of grave robbing. It will explain how dead bodies became an economic commodity during the Georgian period and how the stealing of bodies became a lucrative profession.
