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.
Loved "Three Men and a Boat." Thanks for the photo.

Gone but not forgotten ...
ReplyDeleteSome are though which is a pity
DeleteYou 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.
ReplyDeleteWell he is known along the Thames Valley for the book he wrote and you can still visit the pubs he stayed at
DeleteA Nice thing to do!I love walking on the graveyards!Always something to find and see
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy strolling through graveyards, you always find some interesting headstones.
