Discover the stories of Saintsmen laid to rest at Dallington Cemetery - Walking Tour
Dallington Cemetery, Harlestone Road, Dallington, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN5 6AB
In 2021, Graham McKechnie discovered the grave of the Northampton Saints Rugby Clubs first Captain, Jim Barker, buried in 1929. In a state of disrepair, the club and foundation funded the restoration of his grave at Dallington Cemetery. Join us for a walking tour of the cemetery and discover the stories of other Saints players that also were laid to rest in Dallington Cemetery, including Teddy and Harry Dunkley, Arthur Williams, Charles Stanley, Charles ‘Cock’ Leigh, Joe Beasley, Charles Davis, and of course, Jim. Sadly, not all graves are still visible but research into their stories and cemetery records gives us an idea of their final resting place and we want you to join us in remembering them.
