Wandering between tombstones on a wintery Sunday sounds like a beautiful scene out of a classic English novel...or a contrived clip from a bad teen cult film.

St Stephens grounds are definitely more quaint than queer, despite lying streets back from King Street.

Now I'm sure you're all religioned-out after Pope week, but this tour is 100% prayer free - and popular with more than just pilgrims and grannies. You'll get a rhetoric history of the graveyard as well as background on those who lie beneath...

If you're a spiritual type or a GOOSEBUMPS fan, you might even be lucky enough to sense a ‘presence'. If not, just take your jacket off and let the wind whip up the hairs on your arms.

An educational activity in a churchyard without religion or any smell of Sunday school? God send.
