Grave of Rev Dr Bulkeley Bandinel etc., Oxford

The grave – a long, thin memorial with sword motif on top – is directly ahead, a few rows down, as you enter St Sepulchre’s cemetery on foot from the main entrance.

The inscription is now extremely unclear but the name ‘Bandinel’ can just about be discerned.
