Groups of us doing vocals and street dance gathered in Leyton County Grounds shed, wondering why he was late. He was never late. When the news was broken, so many of us felt broken as well. Tony Lee came to my school (Lammas) starting vocals in our drama room and then moving on to street dance and so many other things. I'll never forget him or all that he has done for our community. RIP Tony Lee!! Sadly Missed but Never, Never Forgotten xxx I remember the day we were told that Tony Lee had passed.

As a member of the Leyton & Leytonstone Historical Society, we have a record of the most famous or intriguing tombstones. The Friends of Leyton Churchyard should be applauded for their work, which is never ending. The reference #20 above refers to the churchyard of St Mary's in Walthamstow.

Many of the inscriptions are no longer legible - or even visible! - but I was so pleased to find my elusive Old Father William (died October 1855 aged 79) solidly inscribed on an imposing monument. His wife Elizabeth Wragg is there somewhere in among the Wraggs but I couldn't locate them in the failing January light There may be a plan of the burial plots - any help? For anyone looking for a list of gravestone inscriptions, I finally found this online:
