The Punnetts of Tonbridge

Better LARGE

I took this photo in St Stephen's Churchyard, Tonbridge.

Noticing that there seemed to be rather a lot of the Punnett family buried there, I did a little research and this is the result from the church's own website...

"The church was built by a local firm called Punnett and completed in 1853. Members of the Punnett family are buried in vaults beneath the church, which you can see outside by the south wall."

I imagine they must have been quite wealthy benefactors of the church, to have commandeered such an important (then) burial place.
