That is a rumour I think, I think Tom Slemen has circulated it and made it urban myth. But where is the evidence for this?
Did Mackenzie make some sort of will?
Plus, has anyone ever tried to open the pyramid?

I hope you're not encouraging people to open the pyramid, Carrie?
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.)

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

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.

Blimy Gerard, what's got you riled today? I've always found Miss i very polite on the forum. Probably 95% of us haven't ever met each other but we get along very well as everyone contributes some really interesting articles/pictures and the like. What may be dear to someone's heart may not interest someone else - being polite costs nothing in my book and there's not enough of it about if you ask me.
