Visiting Mary Shelley’s Grave

Mary Shelley’s grave is in a beautiful churchyard in Bournemouth. Don’t let the tranquillity fool you though – there’s some gory history to be found here.

Did you know that Mary Shelley, author of the novel, Frankenstein, is buried in Bournemouth? I found this out when doing some research for my trip to Dorset. I was going to be at a conference in Bournemouth, but always want to make time to see a few things even when I’m somewhere for work reasons. On one of the days, I had an early breakfast and on the way to the conference centre made a detour to the graveyard at St Peter’s Church.
