Grave Location Description

Tucked away in a tranquil northwest corner of the churchyard next to the end of the 6-foot high brick wall is Agatha’s grave. As you take the paved path to the left of the church continue straight across the grass to the back of the new addition to the church. Once past the church veer to the right towards the brick wall and then follow the wall back to Agatha’s grave.  The grave is unassuming with a headstone and two stone boundary markers. Between the two markers is a small tablet on the grass. It reads M.E.L.M. and A.M.C.M. which stands for Max Edgar Lucien Mallowan and Agatha Mary Clarissa Mallowan.
