This surprised me when I walked past it today. Someone has put a small jamjar of flowers on this grave.

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

The pic got scrambled when I uploaded - I'll try again

how touching! i wonder if it's a relative or just someone who is appreciative of this person? regardless...how wonderful that someone from the 12th century is still being remembered!
