barrios Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 hi all, i'm looking to go to to john bonham's grave, has anyone been ? is it easy to find ? I know he was buried in Rushock, Worcestershire parish church, is Rushock a village or small town ? Are there any landmarks near the site that can act as a beacon, thus enabling me to find it easier ? I've looked on the net but it information appears a bit vague, btw i live in buckinghamshire. Any help will be much appreciated, Barrios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Google Maps is handy for any Zep related landmarks... From what I can see it's on Church Hill, Rushock off the A442. In the graveyard next to the church. There are plenty of photos around. I hope one day I will get to visit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHD Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I am hoping to visit too. Hopefully, this summer. Also going to take in nearby Cutnall Green, the village where the Bonham's lived and where Jason was raised. I believe Pat still lives in the area. The local Chequers pub was a favourite watering hole of John's. In fact, is that the one featured in his fantasy sequence in TSRTS? Anyone know?

SteveAJones Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Bonzo pulls up to The New Inn on Kidderminster Road in his hot rod and walks in during his fantasy segment in The Song Remains The Same. Here is a link with a recent photo: http://www.droitwichadvertiser.co.uk/news/...in_the_cold.php The Chequers, just down Kidderminster Road, is the other local pub for Cutnall Green and was also a favorite of Bonzo's: www.chequerscutnallgreen.co.uk Bonzo quipped circa 1978 (paraphrased): "I'm not buying the bloody Chequers! Mind you, I was interested". St. Michael's Parish Church in Rushock is located high on a hill overlooking Cutnall Green. Just follow the signs to Rushock from Kidderminster Road as it is a very small village and can be reached in ten minutes by car. I have gone a couple times to pay my respects and take in the view which overlooks Cutnall Green and stretches on into infinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porgie66 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Maltstone is now the name of the business that is located in the old New Inn. Gotta make a pilgrimage someday to these sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
