Christchurch, Jenkins mausoleum
Image: © Mike Faherty Taken: 15 Feb 2009
Large mausoleum to C18 Lady, a Mrs Perkins, who had an irrational dread of being buried alive; her coffin lid was not screwed down, and could be opened from the inside. She died in 1783; it is not recorded whether her fears were realised. For more information, http://www.christchurchdorset.co.uk/buriedalive.htm
