Mausoleum Visit - August 2007
In early August a group of members and friends visited the Mausoleum adjacent to Devonport House in Greenwich. We were privileged to have a tour guided by Dr Pieter Van Der Merwe of the National Maritime Museum. Dr Van Der Merwe not only gave us a detailed account of the Mausoleum but also described the history of the nearby graveyard and also of Greenwich Hospital and its surroundings. After the tour members adjourned to Devonport House for light refreshments.
Dr Van Der Merwe points out some fascinating features of the Mausoleum.
