Thomas Edgar's grave plot is marked by an unnamed, flat grave marker in the centre of the photo. The photo is situated in the churchyard of All Saints' Church, in Lydd, Kent. Edgar's original headstone was removed from the churchyard because weathering was effacing the stone to such an extent that it was making the inscription hard to read. Faint cracks were also starting to appear in the stone and it was thought preferable to place the headstone inside All Saint's Church for its own protection. Originally the headstone was placed vertically in the churchyard but the replacement marker lies in a horizontal position.
