Abstract

While folklorists and social historians have assumed that the roadside burial of suicides was a widespread custom in England, there have been few efforts to research or locate specific examples. This study traces documented cases of the practice, and known (or suspected) roadside graves from one area of England in an attempt to establish how common this was.
