John BUDD and family, a tale of spin doctors, privateers and country folk
The grave of John BUDD is affixed to the brick buttress on south facing wall of Wanborough church, presumably not in the original location as it not shown on early engravings of the church.
It is by far the oldest surviving gravestone in the church.
