Well apart from the obvious one in Winchester cathedral grounds, I have not come across any other unusual graveyard memorials. However, I have come across some unusual surnames - here are just a few: Thomas CAKEBREAD & MRS Sarah CAKEBREAD, of Hatfield Broadoak, Dedham, Essex, MRS. SWEETAPPLE, Upper Clatford. PRICKTOE, Upper Clatford and Andover. BUNNY, Andover Mrs. CHICKEN, Lincoln. Has anyone else come across unusual surnames?

One of my best friends is married to a Cakebread! And Pricktoe, I believe, was once known in Warwickshire. Margaret On 3/19/07, M.

Aged 26 years. In grateful remembrance of whofe univerfal good will towards his Comrades. this stone is Placed here at their expence as a fmall testimony of their regard and concern. Here fleeps in peace a Hampshire Grenadier who caught his death by drinking cold small Beer. Soldiers be wise from his untimely fall and when yere hot drink Strong or none at all. This memorial being decay'd was reftored by the officers of the Garrifon AD 1781. An honeft Soldier never is forgot whether he die by mufket or by Pot. The Stone was replaced by the North Hants Militia when difembodied at Winchester on 26th April 1802 in confequence of the original stone being deftroyed.
