    I absolutely love Brian's attitude towards cancer. My Mum fought it for 19 months and smiled every damn day, right up to her last breath. She was in hospital for a year, and a nursing home for 7 months.

    Great content as always Paul I am an ex stonemason and I have erected many memorials in that church yard and I know exactly where the grave is you were searching for in fact you did find it , the one you said had nothing on it is the exact resting place of Brian Hall .
    Keep up the great work 😊

    I love walking around grave yards where family are buried. I read many headstones of people I don't know. To me it's like I'm keeping their memory alive, they are not forgotten. Very peaceful places.

    "The burning light in a church holds deep symbolism.
    The lamp signifies that Christ is truly present.
    The tradition is rooted in the Old Testament, where God instructed Moses to keep a lamp perpetually burning in the Tabernacle (Exodus 27:20-21)."

    I’m sorry you couldn’t find it. I find it really bad that they mowed and didn’t clear away. Here in Germany if that happened in a cemetery there would be an uproar as they really keep the graves well kept here. It doesn’t matter so much when it’s a grave for someone who died in 1850 but 1997 isn’t that long ago so he must have living family members who might come visit and be upset to see the grave covered in grass.
