The gravestone shown above is where Winifred Helen Burtenshaw is buried, she lived in Sulham and was a nurse during the First World War. Winifred treated casualties in the nearby Battle Hospital and also Basildidon House which was used as a convalescent home, she died as a result of injuries in 1919 aged just 36.
