Historic Grave Uncovered at St Lucius' Church

The St. Lucius Church eco group have uncovered the grave of Rev. Cutfield Wardroper in the churchyard.

 

Rev. Wardroper lived from 1815-1906, and was vicar at St. Lucius from 1848-1899. He was renowned for riding round his parish on a white horse, and the eco-group would approve of his choice of a wicker coffin, which he commissioned long before his death!

​

Members of St. Lucius' Church and the eco group are hoping to raise money to restore his grave, so that the inscriptions are legible.
