A Modern Druid Burial

Erected to the Memory of

Bro. George William Manley P.P.G.A

Died July 11th 1935 Aged 90 Years

By the Ancient Order of Druids, Mercia No. 4

'A Gentleman and a Druid'

When I saw this in Warstone Cemetery, Birmingham at the weekend, I was taken by surprise as I have never seen the final resting place of a modern day Druid. It reminded me of the Dolmen we recently saw in France.

I believe that 'P.P.G.A' after George's name stands for the position held within the movement to be that of Past Grand Arch.
