Historic London burial site, now a memorial garden, honors marginalized medieval women with ribbons and mementos, offering reflection and occasional ceremonies.

Crossbones Graveyard is a historic burial ground located in the Southwark area of London. It was originally an unconsecrated graveyard for the interment of the poor, including many women who were believed to have been sex workers, known as "Winchester Geese," during the medieval period. The site, which dates back to at least the 16th century, was used until the 19th century and later fell into disuse. Rediscovered during construction work in the 1990s, it has since become a place of remembrance and reflection, with a memorial garden and a shrine adorned with ribbons, flowers, and mementos left by visitors. The graveyard is a poignant reminder of the marginalized individuals who lived and died in the area, and it hosts occasional ceremonies and events to honor their memory.
