Mad Jack Fuller's Pyramid - a photo on Flickriver

One for Pat, www.flickr.com/photos/larigan , she inspired me to go here. Surreal place. Exceptionally pretty, including the drive up from Eastbourne. Great early morning expedition.

Jack Fuller's pyramid is a 25 foot (7.62 m) high mausoleum built in 1811, twenty-three years before his death. It stands in the churchyard of St. Thomas à Becket, Brightling.

The ninth verse of Grey's Elegy is inscribed on one wall:

'The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow'r
And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave
Await alike th' inevitable hour
The paths of glory lead but to the grave'

Local legend had it that Fuller was entombed in the pyramid in full dress and top hat seated at a table set with a roast chicken and a bottle of wine. This was discovered to be untrue during renovations in 1982. Fuller is indeed buried in the conventional manner beneath the pyramid.
