10. Single Woman's Churchyard (England)



The Cross Bones Graveyard is an unusual cemetery located in the United Kingdom. It is a post-medieval disused burial ground in London, England. Originally, this graveyard was established as an unconsecrated graveyard for ‘single women,' a euphemism for prostitutes and was known as the ‘Single Woman's Churchyard'. It had become a pauper's cemetery in 1769. It is believed that more than 15,000 people have been buried there.
