The Comport tomb in St James' Churchyard, Cooling
St James Church at Cooling is one of the churches which it is thought featured in the opening scenes of Great Expectations (St Mary's at Higham is the other). Charles Dickens describes the lozenge graves by the door as "little stone lozenges each about a foot and a half long, which were arranged in a neat row beside their [parents’] graves". This is the nearby Comport tomb which is the largest in the churchyard. See more at:
