Searching for Lord Nevill's final resting place

From the very start Of my interest in the life and works of the Victorian prison reformer Lord William Beauchamp Nevill I have always longed to stand at the side of his grave . Little did I realise that over 10 years later that I still would have no idea as to where he is buried . There is a beautiful vote for the Neville family at the local church in Eridge where the family seat Eridge Castle stood . However during his early 20s Lord William Beauchamp Neville converted to the catholic faith so was unable to be buried in this Church of England graveyard.

 I have been to Eridge church and it is a beautiful cranes and peaceful place. The vote is now closed but the Nevill gravestones are above to mark their final resting places . Here lies the remains of both levels father and mother also a number of his siblings and their offSpring.

 




I have searched numerous Catholic burial sites, online sites and archives. Still no clues !

One day this mystery will be solved !
