About this title

Synopsis

England's history has a romantic appeal that is matched by few other nations. For those who are drawn to see the final resting places of those men and women who shaped England's past, Who's Buried Where in England is a fascinating companion. Arranged in eight sections, there are hundreds of entries on Sovereigns; Royal Consorts and Nobles; Statesmen, Politicians, and Warriors; Churchmen, Philosophers, Lawyers, and Scholars; Scientists, Doctors, and Businessmen; Authors, Playwrights, and Poets; Actors, Artists, and Musicians; and Explorers, Sportsmen, Heroines, and Criminals. The book also includes a generous selection of photos as well as a geographical county-by-county checklist for the traveler.

Reviews

This third edition of a guide to the resting places of over 350 notable historical and royal figures buried in England has been extensively revised and updated to include Princess Diana, historical places of execution, and a list of people cremated at Golders Green. The book has been organized into eight categories according to profession or social status of the figures (sovereigns, authors, actors, etc.), with each category arranged alphabetically. Brief biographical information has been provided for each listing as well as a geographical checklist by county. When no actual grave exists, an approximation is given. For example, the listing for Ethelbald I (d.757) mentions that he is reputed to be buried in the crypt of St. Wynstan's Church, Repton, Derbyshire. Illustrious Americans buried in England, such as William Penn, T.S. Eliot, and Francis Brett Harte, have also been included. This ready-reference tool is recommended for public libraries where interest in the subject is high.DRavi Shenoy, North Central Coll. Lib., Naperville, IL
