The open grave of Mrs Florence Nightingales Burial at East Willow church yard.
Florence Nightingale burial place.
Picture shows the Nightingale family burial site is at the Church of St. Margaret in East Wellow very near the family estate of Embley Park, near Romsey, Hampshire.
The church was founded in 1215, the year of the signing of the Magna Carta. It is a small building, holding around 100 people, but rich in architectural interest. Resting in one of the windows was the Scutari Cross, made of bullets from the Crimea, and beside it a framed text which was hanging in Florence Nightingales bedroom when she died. (The cross was stolen in 1991 and is replaced by a fiber glass replica.)
There is a four sided monument in the churchyard with inscriptions on each side for the four family members
Florence Nightingale (12 May 1820 - 13 August 1910) was an English social reformer and statistician, and the founder of modern nursing.
In 1854 Florence Nightingale went to the Crimea to nurse wounded British troops. She has been given legendary status subsequently because of her transformation of the way nursing was organised at the time. Later she donated her 50, 000 pounds testimonial to the creation of " The Nightingale Home for the Training of Nurses" and she received the Freedom of the City of London in 1908. She died on the 13th August, 1910.
