This audio trail was commissioned by St Mary's Old Church in Stoke Newington. St Mary's is London's only surviving Elizabethan churchyard, and the tombstone inscriptions have been lost to weather and time. "Are You a Ghost-hunter?" pieces together the fragments of story. It turns out that urban foxes and local teenagers - each in their own way - are the ones who are most familiar with the long forgotten dead.
