| Across the road, in the newer extension to the Overleigh Cemetery, lies Mary Finney, "the Queen of the Gypsies". She died in 1962, aged 79 and rests now, re-united with her husband Guilderoy, who had died 30 years earlier, beneath a stone angel with outspread wings. The grave is close to the main gate and often has flowers on it. By tradition, passing travellers always lay flowers on a 'royal' gypsy tomb. |
