Inscribed
marble tablet above the Byron family vault where the poet, the 6th
Lord Byron, is buried in the church of St Mary Magdalene, Hucknall Church,
Nottinghamshire. Note that in the corner of the photograph the foot
of the brass lectern firmly stands upon the entrance to the vault, thus
as the late Father Green commented, "Satan is held down the by
bible."

The
Byron Memorial Garden at St Mary Magdalene, Hucknall. The black
marble memorial simply reads "Byron 1788 - 1824." This was
erected in the 1990s and the parishioners spent much time trying to
identify a passage from Byron that was appropriate for a Christian churchyard.
They finally chose these lines from CHP 4.137: "But there is that
within me which shall tire Torture and Time, and breathe when I expire."
(lines 1228-29).
