Sandbach Cemetery: Don't Panic
Most gravestones are blank on the reverse, but this one has two words. Given that the front includes a dolphin and the words "so long and thanks for all the fish", I deduce that the deceased was a fan of Douglas Adams. Was he buried with a towel, I wonder?

Sandbach Cemetery: Brunner Mond war memorial
The stone memorial was moved in 1934 from the Sandbach works of Brunner Mond. The company made sodium bicarbonate from salt brine, and continued in business until 2006, eventually becoming part of the Tata group.
According to Historic England, this memorial was one of several designed for the company by Thomas Arthur Darcy Braddell (1884-1970) at their sites in Silvertown, Winnington, Lostock, Sandbach and Middlewich, and the Mond Mausoleum at St Pancras and Islington Cemetery.
