Brimble Hill Clump: Duke's Grave Enclosure
Brimble Hill Clump: Duke's Grave Enclosure
Here we see part of a metal fence which, at a later date (unknown), was erected to enclose this unusual and quite romantic wild grave site.

The duke (d. 1922) and the duchess (d. 1936) were buried on Brimble Hill nearby their residence at Bradley hall, located on the edge of the historic and sleepy village of Maiden Bradley, West Wiltshire. Their graves are marked by standing stones on the south west of the wooded hilltop with a view across Bradley Park towards Long Knoll, with Little Knoll visible to the left. The burial site is next to a stand of taller trees in Brimble's clump.
