Cook
Buried in Rugeley: |
|
As
you enter St. Augustine's Churchyard from Station Road and approach the main church
door, few would give a second glance at the grave that stands on the right hand
beneath the yew tree. But the death of the gentleman buried there started one
of the biggest scandals of the Mid Nineteenth Century. For several years the grave
of John Parsons Cook was merely covered in an earth mound. In 1859 or 1860 the
Reverend Atkinson had a stone placed upon his grave. It was made of limestone
and can still be seen to this day.
A
mistake on the inscription.
They
made a mistake on the inscription. It was incorrect as Cook died at 1.00a.m. on
21st November 1956 not 22nd November 1856 so later the date was scratched out.
Postcards
bearing the inscriptions from his grave were sold right up until 1920
(See
Memorabilia at Shugborough)
