SP is buried here and so is his wife Elizabeth. He lived in Seething Lane.
Actually I turned up at 12.30 only to find that a service was about to start (the only one during the week!).
There is a memorial to him...
It is hard to see from the picture but it has the wrong birth date for him - it says 25th Feb whereas he was born on 23rd Feb as he says in his diary. I was tempted to shout it out to a chap doing a guided tour whilst I was there.
This is a bust of his wife, Elizabeth ...
Fascinating because she is animated - she looks like she is talking.
They are both in a vault under the communion table in the church.
The church itself is below...
It was a very strange feeling standing next to the communion table.
