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.

Excellent contribution from fortinian, the urban myth comprehensively exploded, I think! Well done indeed.
The ghost story also mentions that the phantom has the shape of a tall wiry man, whereas the pics of William M show him to be a fat gent and rather an affable-looking fellow. His Diaries on Google books are rather boring and do not indicate any addiction to gambling, though he travels a lot on business and has people around to dinner quite a bit, not to mention the occasional visit to the theatre. Amongst the occasional mentions of cards (page 53 on Google books) he records "I played at cards lost 11/6, a deal too much". Hardly a fortune to a man in his position. It's hard to think of a more unlikely candidate for a deal with the devil!
Where can we get a copy ?
( I've emailed you by the way )
Thanks, Mart
Well done Fortinian, nice to see your work recognised.
I believe St Andrews church development will be completed some time next years and it will become student accommodation.
Will the graves and tomb remain in situ, I expect so.
Fortinian,
Really enjoyed the piece mate. Well done.
