Read the second of Emma Jolly's blog posts on well known (or well connected) people interred at London's Highgate Cemetery at http://deceasedonlineblog.blogspot.ca/2017/01/highgate-cemetery-victorian-era.html. The post throws the spotlight on people from the Victorian era including George Elliot and Sir Michael Faraday. The post recognizes the burial records for the cemetery that recently became available on Deceased Online.

Douglas Adam's grave is not far from Karl Marx's. Adams wrote the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy in 1978. I toured Highgate a lot when I stayed in Highgate in 2012 for WDYTYA. I also noticed Ralph Richardson's (the old actor) grave not far way as well. Cheers, BT
