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 from under the back of the grave's lid (far right of picture). (Information sources: Watford Museum Team, Stephen Liddell, Watford Observer and Watford Through Time by John Cooper Note: The first upload is the original scan as found online. The second upload has been edited for contrast and clarity. The handwritten comment at the bottom can be read in the original scan (first upload). It shows that the legend about the deceased had evolved to make the deceased a witch. |
