Summary
[edit]| Description |
Showing the Fig Tree Tomb, in St Mary's Churchyard, Watford, London, England. This was a 19th-century curiosity. A fig tree was growing out of an unnamed tomb, and the legend had it that an atheist man or woman had hoped that if there were a god, then they would show some evidence of existence in the tomb - and that evidence was thought to be the fig tree. In the picture you can see the trunk of the tree growing from under the stone lid. .
