Atkins Grave, All Saints Parish Church


 Grave of Cassandra Atkins, beloved wife of Felix Atkins. D. July 14th 1886 age 46 years "Rest in Hope". All Saints Church, Marlow. 

Cassandra was nee Creswell. Her first husband was John Miller. She occupied the Prince of Wales pub. Felix also worked as a butcher. In 1887 Felix takes out an action for slander against two individuals who accuse him before many others of killing his wife. A juror is withdrawn for reasons I could not see and the case collapses and does not seem to have been revived.
