    Hiking

    In addition to the grave pyramid for John Fuller, whose nickname was "MAD JACK", which is located here in the cemetery, there are a number of buildings to be discovered in the area, which are sometimes referred to as "Fully's Follies". For example:

    => a round temple

    (see komoot.de/highlight/1497509) and

    => a tower called “Sugar Loaf”.

    Hiking

    Outside in the churchyard stands John (Mad Jack) Fuller 25ft pyramid mausoleum. Built in 1811, twenty-three years before he died, it seems out of place amongst the weathered tombstones. Legend has it Mad Jack was buried seated at a table set with a roast chicken and a bottle of wine. Inside the tomb, a verse from Gray's Elegy is inscribed in the stone.
