CAPT. LANGTRY
Here is the grave of poor Edward Langtry, the ill used husband of a superstar of her day, Lily Langtry, the "Jersey Lily". In 1897, seperated from his notorious wife - who was, at the time otherwise engaged with Edward, Prince of Wales (later to become King Edward VII) - he had been discovered wandering "bruised & dazed"wandering around Crewe railway station. Previous to this, he had apparently sustained a mysterous injury during a voyage from Ireland. He was duly committed to the Chester Lunatic Asylum where he died nine days later. His funeral at Overleigh was attended by a few friends and relatives - and also many spectators, anxious to catch a glimpse of the beautiful actress. Lily didn't turn up, but sent a wreath and money for expenses instead. Lily died in Monte Carlo in 1929 and was buried alongside her parents iin St. Saviour's, on the island of Jersey and poor Edward lies alone in his Chester grave.
