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." Photograph by Nanora Sweet.	Memorials to the poet Byron, erected by his half-sister Augusta Leigh and his daughter Ada, on the south wall of St Mary Magdalene, Hucknall. Photograph by Nanora Sweet.
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). Photograph by Nanora Sweet.
