Not buried in Leeds but Royalty none the less. A sad and fascinating life.

Loiner - tathe wiki article threw up a tangent------->He died at Far Headingley. House not given but mention of Ransome.Now Arthur Ransome author of 'Swallows and Amazons' was a regular visitor at Stairfoot House.It's owner was Edwin Eddison who (I think) owned Adel Corn Mill and Farm and used Adel Dam for trout breeding and boating.

Very interesting info Jogon. They must though have been massive trout if you could boat on them! Sorry Jogon.
