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.

The trunk of the fig tree is growing out of the back of the tomb.
