I am constantly draw to churches and graveyards as I drive round the lanes of Devon and there are many of them to be found. Even the smallest hamlet has a church, some quite humble and some ornate and extravagant. It is not through any religious beliefs of mine, more an admiration of good craftsmanship and an interest in the past inhabitants of the area that I visit them. In one graveyard there are 3 graves in a line, the given name on each is "Mary Anne" the dates are broadly similar. It certainly wasn't through admiration of any famous "star" that these ladies all bore the same name, or was it ?...........
