P is for Puddle

As I've mentioned before, we get a lot of changeable weather down here on the south coast. With a climate like ours, there's no wonder Brits are weather-obsessed!
This is an ABC Wednesday post.

One side only

One side of the Sturt family gravestone, St. Andrew's Old Church, Church Road; lettering on the far side has been worn away by wind and rain and is no longer legible.
The inscription on this side reads: In memoriam Mary Elizabeth Sturt, died May 18th 1817, aged 23 years. William Sturt, died June 13th 1820, aged 46 years. Richard Sturt, died November 5th 1820, aged 3 months. Richard Sturt, died June 4th 1836, aged 53 years. Thomas Sturt, died November 18th 1836, aged 47 years. Richard Harry Sturt, died April 21st 1854, aged 1 year. Henry Sturt, died August 31st 1855, aged 38 years. Maria Sturt, died September 8th 1858, aged 34 years.
I had a dig around in BMD and census records but couldn't find much - Richard Harry Sturt's birth in the second quarter of 1854 is recorded in Steyning, Sussex, and Maria Sturt's death in 1858 is recorded in Brighton.

Right on cue

British clocks were changed overnight from British Summer Time to Greenwich Mean Time and, right on cue, it's cold, grey and wintery outside. It's about 4.20 pm right now and starting to get dark already...

Short and to the point

Gravestone of William Pitt, St. Andrew's Old Church, Church Road. 
The inscription reads: Sacred to the memory of William Pitt who departed this life 24th July 1850.
William's death in 1850 age 64 is recorded in Steyning, Sussex, and William appears on the 1841 census. He's living in New Road, New Shoreham, age 55 with his wife Ann age 50 and four children Elizabeth, Henriette, George and Harriet.

No horizon

One of those grey, misty days where you can't see the horizon.
