Before the church was consecrated in Ambleside nearest burial was Grasmere so coffins had to be carried to Grasmere. Very rough track in parts and rumour has it that quite often boxes had to be recovered from the undergrowth!!!
Remember your shots of the Coffin Route- seem to recall a seat somewhere along the way for the bearers to rest. Judging by the pic, not an easy task at all.
I can well imagine the coffins ending up in the bushes, nice shot Dave, interesting narrative.
