There was a good attendance at last Sunday’s guided walk, entitled “Sporting Stars”. Visitors to the cemetery heard about athletes, footballers, a crack rifle shot and others, all of whom had achieved great things in their chosen sport. It is sad to report that several of these people now lie in unmarked graves. However, the family of one subject, Rovers footballer Arthur Pyle, had recently ordered a monument for the previously unmarked grave of their ancestor. It was wonderful to see the memorial in place for Sunday’s walk.
