Cemetery in the grounds of Holy Innocents Church, High Beech, Epping Forest
These are just graves that caught my eye and they do not have any more significance than any others.
A tall, carved but natural stone, with runes down both sides - apparently a quote from Beowulf (see link above). Otherwise uses a standard script but with an Insular Script "T" & possibly Gothic "E" on the inscriptions. The stone is delaminating front and back.
Inscription - George Darnell [S]henton, 1867 - 1941
He was a member of the clergy - most recently at The Rectory, Graveley, Cambridgeshire
Died at 14 Fitzroy Square - which was St. Luke's Hospital For The Clergy.
On the 1911 census, he can be found in Elmstead Vicarage, Elmstead. Prior to that he appears to have been a precentor at St Andrew's Cathedral in Sydney, Australia (1893) and had a spell at Tiverton (Devon) and Pendleton (Lancs).
No idea what the link to High Beach is - perhaps via children or wife ? Or why the runes & unusual script ? It is an impressive headstone however.
An adjacent headstone:
E Helen Shenton, 1869 - 1914 (George's first wife) "Dearest Daughter Wife Mother"
Austin K Shenton, 1895 - 1918 (son, died in France in WW1) "MC Captain RE" (Military Cross & Royal Engineers) & "worthy? of his mother" ?
Probate granted to Dora Sophia Shenton (widow) and Philip Farrer Shenton (son)
Hans Ove Larsen was a wealthy nurseryman / horticulturist, of Quinton Hill, Waltham Abbey
Described in the Daily Herald (4th July 1934) as a pioneer of the tomato and cucumber growing industry (26 acres of nurseries)
He had been a member of Essex County Council for 11 years.
It seems he killed himself due to depression brought on by insulin treatment for his diabetes.
He left nearly £159,000 in his estate in 1934 - some of which was bequeathed to his employees
Daily Mirror - Tuesday 10 July 1934 - An article writes that his pets attended the funeral - two great danes & two shire horses.
Also, only one wreath was on his coffin - from his housekeeper Nellie Alby.

K S Nurse - Royal Horse Artillery - 21st Oct 1978 (Age 19)
This is Kirk Stephen Nurse. Kirk's great-grandfather was George Edward Nurse who was awarded a VC at the Battle of Colenso. He was attached to the 66th Battery of the Royal Field Artillery.
This seems to be an army family - at least since George above. Kirk's father was also in the army, as per the joint grave - SSgt CGC Nurse.
