St Paul’s Churchyard


The remains of many English, Irish and French citizens are buried here.

Among the well-known is George Frederick Cook, the English actor whose ghost is rumored to roam the grounds in search of his head, which, it is said, was used in a performance of Hamlet.

ThomasAddis Emmet, an Irish patriot who was exiled, has a place of honor in the graveyard, alongside patriots of the Revolutionary War.

The French are represented by StephenRochefontaine,
a noted military engineer for the Continental army.

Very interesting information. I think I'd be looking for my head too if it was used in a Shakespeare play.
Your pictures are always perfect.

I love the photo. Taking it through the trees adds such interest and beauty to the photo.

Beautiful photo and for a moment I thought I was across from OUR St Paul's Cathedral in London. Many thanks.

I hope you don't mind, but the word 'alcansar' in your header is misspelled. It should read 'alcanzar'.

And you're right, Cubans dance anything and everything :-). Many thanks.

Greetings from London.

Momza, absolutely! geeze, talk about taking advantage!

imagine this: there one lays, dead as a doornail, and someone figures that they can just borrow one's head for a show, then forget to return it!

o'course we'd go a-hauntining the place.
