The grave of Sarah Wrench (1833-1848)
Tales of witchcraft surround this unfortunate girl but the truth is probably more prosaic involving perhaps a baby out of wedlock or suicide. Much has been written about her. She is interred to the north side of East Mersea church and her grave is unusually caged for protection. The cage is known as a mortsafe.
