would this be worth moving the the urban myths section?
I hope you're not encouraging people to open the pyramid, Carrie? :Colorz_Grey_PDT_24:
This is one story that Tom Slemen didn't start, and, as far as I know, it's true.
William Mackenzie was a gambler, and wanted to be buried sitting up at a card table holding a winning hand.
(So the devil wouldn't get him, but that bit might be a myth.)
ta kev!
I have always been interested in the pyramid since I was a kid.
I fear that if anything is developed on the site, it will be cleared away
It better bloody not be cleared!!!! The place needs a sympathetic restoration and the tomb left alone.
i know. but i bet modern developers wouldn't think that way!
I remember my dad telling me as a kid that some workmen had once tried to open the tomb but been unsuccessful. I dont know if that is true at all...
Philip...Where does the myth originate?
Thanks for the story Gerard, I wonder what happened to the decoration atound the circle crest on the grave. You can see where it used to be.
That's my photo of the Tomb but I really don't remember taking it! :eek: :)
how would we find out who owns the land?
Isn't it still owned by that Doctor who won't give up the lease on the land? I'm sure that's why it's in such a state. The Uni want it for their land but then again, the Uni are trying to buy out the Masonic Hall in Hope Street - not if I've got anything to do with it :)
hmmmm i won't say anything about that!!
a doctor? hmmm....i don't see the point in owning land like this and letting it fall into ruin, although he is probably waiting until someone offers him the best price...
I hope the uni don't buy it. They won't restore it, and the tomb will go for sure in my opinion

Whats all that Hand clappin' about Missinformed,D'yer get a Chocolate Frog or Something for Applaudin' Kev and all this "i mightily think so"...on removing my Tom Slemen Thingy..
I would have thought though a little more Encouragement would be given by Senior Members to Newbies Instead of putting them off Joining in..
Well Done Missinformed..:handclap: :handclap: :handclap:
Ged, the applaud was for my moving the messages that had began to discuss the tomb, your message is still there mate, within this thread :)
Tried to take a night pic of that Tomb once.
Bloody errie when I go past It at night
The church is Listed Grade II*, which is a higher listing than Grade II.
The churchyard and the graves will be included, so the only threat to the tomb is from people wanting to break into it.
I put it on twice Kev cause it had been removed somewhere else and its still there and I never put it there,Other people noticed it moved as well..
I'm not going on about it being moved Kev,If its in the Wrong place Lad then it should be moved to the right place,I've got no problem with that Kev..
Lets have it right here though..all that Brown Nosin' does my head in...
Clappin and applaudin...C'mon we know what Im on about here.
