St Peter’s Churchyard Tour

November 21 @ 14:00 - 16:30

Matthew Sleap, our membership secretary, is leading a tour of the graveyard at St Peter’s Church on 21st November at 2pm, price £10 to include refreshments.

The church website states:  Outside the church, the grave of Admiral Sturdee has a headstone which includes a cross fashioned from timber from HMS ‘Victory’ (for the restoration of which Sturdee was largely responsible). C.W. Furse ARA and his wife Dame Katherine, who was the first director of WRNS, are both buried in the churchyard; so too is Bret Harte, the American poet who spent the last years of his life in Frimley.

There are other interesting graves in the churchyard, reminding us of the history of the area before it became so densely populated.

Please let Matthew or me know if you would like to join us.   Tickets are available here
