He escaped, but was shot by one of the guards. There's a pic of his gravestone on Simon Knott's fabulous website - http://www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/derehamnicholas/derehamnicholas.htm - scroll down to the bottom and click on the right-hand pic above his guestbook to see a close-up of the wording.Kate Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367918727779245526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974614945447984069.post-77587035104404480542009-09-23T17:02:55.826+01:002009-09-23T17:02:55.826+01:00Fascinating!
