Elizabeth Gaskell grave (29^th September 1810 to 12^th November 1865)

Here I am at the chapel in Knutsford which once probably stood in rolling Cheshire countryside. However its neighbours are now busy traffic, shops and a high red-brick car park. The photograph of the chapel I had in my pocket was misleading and taken craftily to negate the hectic activity surrounding it. I parked across the road in the Aldi car park and risked busy traffic to cross the road to the chapel.

The famous Victorian novelist is buried with her husband. A couple of daughters are in the grave, too. She died suddenly aged 55 of a heart attack at a new home she'd just bought in Hampshire but was brought back up north to be buried here.
