Found Samuel Coleridge Taylor's grave in Bandon Hill cemetery the other day:
Lyrics & notes from The Song of Hiawatha across the base of the gravestone:
and a rather wonderful pic of his burial in 1912 (aged 37) showing a delegation of his friends and colleagues from the South African Pan African movement paying respects with an African floral tribute . The outrage about his impoverished state at the time of his death led to the formation of the Performing Rights society:
also posted in the pics from your state sanctioned walk thread in Covid.

I ruined my clothes with anti-climb paint when climbing the cemetery fence to see that one...only to find out there was a convenient gap had I walked further. It's been probably something like 7 years and the thought that they charge an entrance fee still fills me with righteous indignation.

Highgate has a few notables, didn't expect this topical one when I went recently.
Yeah I've been tempted to pop in to Brookwood to see if I can find Berezovsky

I didn't know about the letterbox though.
If you can find Arthur Conan Doyle's grave at Minstead, let me know
I couldn't.
