Comments
Close study of the graveyard is fun, the inscriptions read like a gazetteer of Britain and are a social history of those who in imperial times visted Leamington and died. Vera Brittain is supposed to be buried there, though I could not locate a gravestone for her. Also in the graveyard is a font purporting to be 16th century.
