Stuck up a tree in Rutland
At Thorney, there is a gravestone with the same design.

Masons copying from the same pattern book, presumably.

“What do you do if you get lost in an Icelandic forest?"

"Stand up!”

And one from #Rutland -

In 1839, "after a tedious courtship of 504 hours, Mr. Robert Harbutt, a brisk bachelor of 23, to Mrs. Catlin, a buxom widow of 75."

The wife may even have shaved a few years off; when Elizabeth died in 1844, her age was recorded as 84 years.

Well - that is the legend.

He died two days after he was mauled by a lion in a cage in Skegness where he made a spectacle of himself. Whether his death was caused by the lion 'Freddie' or by the doctor is uncertain.
