    LAST Grace Family at Battle Abbey PAGE

   09

            With friends at Battle Abbey, Grandmoods, seated left, Grandpoods, standing right, and Dita, centre

Grandpoods is buried in the churchyard in Battle Abbey just across from the rose garden wall. On his simple tombstone is engraved this epitaph:

Cordial Old Man
What youth was in thy years
What wisdom in thy levity
What kindness in every utterance
of that pure soul
Few of the spirits of the glorified
I'd spring to earlier at the gates
of heaven

and beneath a tombstone beside him lies his wife,
Margarita Mason Grace.
