When Byron's beloved dog Boatswain died of Rabies in 1808, Byron commissioned a monument for his dog to be built on the grounds of Newstead Abbey, the ancestral Byron family home located in Nottinghamshire, England. The monument has a crypt beneath it, where Boatswain's body was interred and where Byron intended his own corpse to be placed when he died. Lord Byron is buried in St. Mary Magdalene Church, Hucknall, Nottinghamshire,
