Cross Bones Graveyard - The Living History

CROSS BONES GRAVEYARD

'For tonight in Hell, they are tolling the bell

For the Whore that lay at The Tabard

And well we know how the carrion crow

Doth feast in our Cross Bones Graveyard.'

from John Crow's Riddle

The Southwark Mysteries, John Constable
