This former cemetery keeper’s lodge - built in 1850 - forms the back drop to a grave, immediately behind the ferns, shared by the remains of Kenneth Grahame (d.1932), author of “Wind in the Willows” and his son Alastair, an undergraduate of Christ Church College, who died 12 years earlier in tragic circumstances. The cemetery entrance/exit is on the right-hand side of the lodge.
