When in St Peter's Churchyard this morning, in the Fog and the rain at 7.30am!, I by chance met a lady who had just taken on the role of looking after a Pantony World War One Grave, it was the last one to be adopted. She mentioned that "the grandmother she never knew" was first Cousin's with a Mary? Pantony who was Sir Edward Heaths Mother. Is this known to you?
