Memories of a Monumental Mason’s Son and the Jacob Bell Epitaph

Join us for a film evening presented by documentary filmmaker Jeanne Pope committee member of the Friends of Woodbury Park Cemetery, featuring local Robert Hassell as he recalls growing up beside Woodbury Park Cemetery and his childhood spent playing in the Triangle, which lies between the cemetery and the houses on Upper Grosvenor Road.

Robert also shares memories of his father’s life as a stonemason and his own later work with Burslem’s Monuments, where he sculpted Jacob Bell’s Epitaph.

He will discuss his collaboration with filmmaker Jeanne Pope in creating this digital story — offering an inspiring insight for anyone interested in learning how to make a digital story of their own. More information will be given on the night.

All are welcome — come and share in this local story. A small donation is appreciated but not mandatory.
