Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Dundee: Howff graveyard railings This burial ground was formerly part of the lands of the Greyfriars granted by Mary Queen of Scots to the burgh of Dundee in 1564. The name Howff (meeting place) derives from the fact that the Dundee Incorporated Trades met here until 1776.
The 1828 wall and railings alongside Meadowside are a listed structure and are the work of David Neave. They were functional as well as attractive, being designed to keep out grave robbers who stole corpses for sale to the local anatomists. |
