A pub near site. It featured in a tale I heard today from the 1830s concerning the burial ground. Apparently a guy was passing, about where I stood to take the blip, and noticed a couple of men with a suspicious bundle.
Deducing that they were grave robbing, he went into the Whittington and Cat to raise a posse, who entered the burying ground to search for the miscreants. The men were duly caught, with not one, but two cadavers sacked up in their possession.
With incredible chutzpah, the men said that they had noticed that grave robbing was occurring, and they were just about to take the bodies back and put them into their graves again. They stood trial, and were acquitted due to lack of evidence!
