Geocache Description:

Alfred Russel Wallace (1823 - 1913) was one of the 19th century's most remarkable intellectuals. Not only did he co-discover the process of evolution by natural selection with Charles Darwin in 1858, but he also made very many other significant contributions, not just to biology.

Wallace lived in Broadstone in Wallace Road ( coincidence eh !!) in the last part of his life after building his own house called Old Orchard which is sadly no longer there.  
His remains are buried in Broadstone Cemetery, next to those of his wife, Annie. His grave was restored by the A. R. Wallace Memorial Fund in 2000. It features a 7-foot (2.1 m) tall fossil tree trunk mounted on a block of Purbeck limestone.
To find this cache, visit this interestingly shaped gravestone and read about his wife on the side of the sculpture’s base.
