Churchyard path leading to lychgate in St Mary's cemetery.

Bench on Churchyard Terrace. Hope its not yet been replaced by a horrible metal one.

The Case is Altered; still closed, so bring your own.

Hoping to spend tomorrow making thorough nuisance of myself at St. Mary's churchyard, Grims Dyke, Harrow Weald, Honeypot Lane - probably nip in Primark while I'm at it. Weather forecast: rain all day = Ideal conditions. #hauntedbenchontour

"A weird tradition was extant about the middle of this century concerning the "Maiden's Tomb." According to the writer of the MSS., it was to the effect that the stones of the monument were in the first instance riven by the ghost of the deceased lady as she rose from it in obedience to the magic arts and incantations of a friend of her brother, a man skilled in necromancy and having, like Manfred, "the power of bringing back the spirits of the dead." The lady appeared, when, it is said, "the solid stones of the tomb began to crack and split with a loud noise"; but, alas ! only to reproach the brother, at whose instigation his friend had called her forth, with being the indirect cause of her death, brought on by grief at the infidel opinions he held, and to exhort him to repentance for his crimes, &c."

The Maiden's Tomb, Perivale Churchyard, c. 1890.
