The grave to the left of the bush is that of 'Perpetual' Arthur Burrow, once owner of Blands near Wennington. This colourful man got his name, not from the fact that he fathered thirteen children, but from his quest to develop a perpetual motion machine. It is said that he claimed he would return from the dead and was buried in a glass fronted coffin. I hung around a while but he didn't show up.
