Of couse the Dan Brown/Masonic/Illuminati contingent are all over it but it really seems a bit of a mystery to be honest.
Thanks fortinian how interesting. So the pyramid is not an actual grave marker. I like the idea of 'rejected' tower/ steeple top being planted in the graveyard.

Here's one that Hawksmoor managed to get errected - St. George, Bloomsbury, 1716-31. Notice the upside down lion, and companion unicorn. Dan Brown could built a book around this one church, it's so bizarre.
