Note the dates on this picture I took a couple of years ago: <http://www.web-options.com/2009/content/_C255704_large.html> There's a famous set of graves in the churchyard at Cooling in North Kent of 13 little brothers and sisters who all died young. I have a photo of it somewhere, but it's not to hand right now, so here's a link to someone else's: <http://www.coolingchurch.org.uk/userimages/Pips%20Graves.jpg> from here: <http://www.coolingchurch.org.uk/index.htm> They feature in the opening scene of Great Expectations.
