Ironically enough there are two tombstones there with interesting names: James Fraser and John Grey! Obviously the dates didn't match up, but still very creepy:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-12917995783571376002012-04-20T20:07:26.667-04:002012-04-20T20:07:26.667-04:00Phyllis - thanks for posting your suggestion on Co...Phyllis - thanks for posting your suggestion on Compuserve where Diana could see it!

One of the folks taking the tour made a comment about the headstones on the floor. The tour guide asked if any of us knew where the term "stinking rich" came from. We all said "no" and she then informed us that there was no such thing as embalming in the 1500-1600's and, since the rich took up most of the church aisle floor, they were buried in the most prominent spots and really stunk up the church as they decomposed!!Pat Rice Talmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-26154441844219959332012-04-20T12:58:13.756-04:002012-04-20T12:58:13.756-04:00Dear Karen

It would become a visual reference for Outlander books. :)<br /><br />PhyllisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
