New Pond

Grave of Etta Lemon Grave of Margaretta (Etta) Lemon in Reigate Cemetery, buried in the same plot as her husband, Frank Lemon. Etta (nee Smith) was one of the founders of the RSPB in 1889, campaigning against the use of feathers in ladies&#039; headwear. She became Honorary Secretary of the Society in 1892, a role she kept until 1904, although she remained in a leadership role until 1939. She was also a staunch anti-suffragette. Her husband (they married in 1893) was a barrister who had drawn up the original constitution of the RSPB, and from 1904 (the year the Society received its royal charter) replaced his wife as Honorary Secretary of the RSPB (although remaining fully supported by her). He was also mayor of Reigate, from 1911-13. Etta died in 1953, 18 years after her husband. — Grave of Etta Lemon Credit: Ian Capper

Grave of John Linnell

Close up of part of the gravestone of 19th Century portrait and landscape painter John Linnell, who lived in Redhill from 1850 until his death in 1882. See TQ2550 : Grave of John Linnell for a photo of the whole gravestone. John Linnell had a strong faith, initially as a Baptist and later a Plymouth Brethren, his faith being reflected in the quotation on the stone from 1 Corinthians 15 vv 54-57: "Now when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word that has been written: Death is swallowed up in victory. Where O death is thy victory, where O death is thy sting. Now the sting of death is sin and the power of sin is the law, but thanks be to God who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
