With thanks to SteveAJones I returned to Hellingly Graveyard and found Peter Grants final resting place. As requested I have posted a picture of the Grave. I assume some family members had recently visited. Merry XMas Peter Grant

I will be sure to take some photographs. I live quite close by (just down the road from Plumpton Place). It was sad to learn about the totally tragic history of the Fishendens which I am sure Peter Grant was aware of. What happened is discussed in the book "The Life of Brian: a Boy and Man in the Royal Navy" which I found on google books while doing a bit of search: "There was one body that we had to deal with that has always stuck in my memory; this was a young boy by the Name of Nicholas Fishenden. He was about 9 years old and had red hair, blue eyes and freckles. He was dressed only in his pyjamas that had his name sewn in them. I learned later from a book that I read about the disaster that he had been travelling with his parents. His Father had left his Wife and Nicholas in their cabin while he went away to fight the fire, As the fire spread it cut off both ends of the corridor to the Cabin and they were trapped. A Steward climbed over the side of the Ship and in through the Port Hole and rescued them both that way. When they arrived on deck the Father decided to put them in a Lifeboat and get them off the Ship. The Life Boat tipped up as it was lowered and threw all the occupants into the Sea. The Wife was rescued but Nicholas must have drifted away as we found him floating all on his own and he had drowned. We eventually collected 88 Bodies, 55 Men and 33 Women. This took us all day until 8 P.M. in the evening. There is a rule in the Navy about the issue of extra Rum for arduous duties at the Captain's discretion. He must have classed this job as arduous duties as Rum kept appearing all day long! After we had dealt with the last Body I went to the Regulating Office and commenced listing all the Valuables, which had been taken from the bodies and placed in their respective bags" This account seems slightly incorrect because the wife also died in the disaster.

Maybe he wanted something unassuming. It is a lovely location. One thing I did find while I was there was the grave of a mother and her son (Heather Clarice Fishenden and her 10 year old son Nicholas Fishenden) who were buried in the same graveyard and who were the previous occupants of Horselunges Manor. They were both tragically killed in the Lakonia cruise ship disaster in the early 1960's. The husband who survived the disaster was buried there some year later in the 1970s. All are buried at the back of the grave yard looking out over the field to the manor house. This might be why Peter Grants daughter thought the house was haunted!

Many thanks I will return at some point and pay my respects.

Hi. As a long time Led Zeppelin fan I recently took a trip to Hellingly in Sussex, England to see Peter Grant's Country House and to pay my respects at his final resting place. I could not find his Grave even though it is stated online he is buried there. I spoke with the caretaker of the grave yard and he looked in the records and could not find any record of a grave registered to Peter Grant, and I concluded that the information online might not be correct. Does anyone know if a grave exists?
