Graves of the Famous



This week the Church Explorer shows you something different and shows you Graves of the Famous. These are a few of the famous people I have come across buried in Churchyards & Cemetery's. The first one I came across was Agatha Christie whom I did realise was buried in the local churchyard till I wandered around it many years ago. I then came across other people as I travelled to different churches & churchyards. These are just a few of the ones I have seen and I will bring more at a later date.

  3. You taught me something by showing this headstone, Billy, as I was not familiar with this Engligh writer and humorist until I looked him up online. His parents must have had a sense of humor as well in naming him.

  5. I think I read everything which was available in print by Jerome K Jerome when I was a teenager. That name - "Klapka" - also came in very useful in a pub quiz once!
