| Happy New Year gents,
I've seen in another place a notice of a lecture on this fascinating man coming soon. Does anyone know where he is buried? His profile here says St Marys Church, but not the address. Any offers?
Regards

| Hi Tim A friend of mine was the instigator of the Gardner clean up , she held a Memorial Service and Presentation on Gardner at the local Church on the 22nd January 17 , the Presentation featured the very Readings and Hymns that were used on the day of Gardner's Funeral , which was on the 15th Jan 1908. She , and her partner paid for all costs , and also managed to raise nearly 400 GBP's for the Church in the process . A job well done I believe . 90th |

| An excellent job - I remember the headstone was quite hard to read when I visited some time ago, good to see it's been rectified.
Regards,
