Haycroft Grave at Sandford
Church
Below - All that remains of the grave of Dr and Mrs Haycroft on the left of the steps leading to the main entrance of St Swithun's Church in Sandford
In 1912, Charles Haycroft died at Bow from an infection he
contracted when treating a patient with puerperal fever.
The headstone, which has broken into two, can be seen lying against the tomb in the top right.
I temporarily reassembled the headstone on the grass.
