Old St Mary's, Stoke Newington

The final journeys of Richard Wombwell and Maria West from Lordship Road  would not have taken long. It is no more than a slow ten-minute stroll from the Red Lion pub to the graveyard and church of Old St. Mary's Church, Stoke Newington. Turning right into the graveyard, and then immediately on the right is the gravestone of one William Wombwell. In the next grave but one another gravestone marks the resting place of Richard Wombwell, the gravestone barely decipherable and leaning against a larger brick-built tomb, which may conceivably belong to Maria West, concealing her Downpatrick origins right to the very end.
