Among the gravestones at St Peter's Church, Woolton stands a headstone above a plot in which a certain 'Eleanor Rigby' was buried. Although Paul McCartney denies this has any link with the song, can it be just a coincidence that it was at a Garden Fête in a field behind this church that Paul McCartney first saw a certain John Lennon performing with his group 'The Quarry Men' on 6 July 1957?
