More about this scene

Not far from the airport is North Stoneham Church, which has undergone many alterations since it was first built in the 10th century. There are many monuments in the church and in the graveyard to famous people, including Sir Thomas Fleming, who was the Lord Chief Justice who authorised the execution of Guy Fawkes, and Admiral Lord Hawke, victorious in the Battle of Quiberon Bay. In the graveyard are stones bearing indications of the profession of the person buried beneath, such as a violin or books. The ten bells in the tower are often tolled.
