More about this scene
In 1882 England played Australia in a cricket match; they lost so disastrously that they then ceremoniously burned the bails used during the match. Ever since then, Australia and England have played for 'the Ashes'. The captain in 1882 was Albert Hornby, and he is buried here. He was also the first man ever to captain England at both cricket and rugby.
