Stoke Poges, Gray’s Tomb in “The Country Churchyard”

Here’s something from Wikipedia:   “(Thomas) Gray’s ‘Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard’ is believed to have been written in the churchyard of the Church of England parish church of Saint Giles in Stoke Poges. Other churches have claimed the honor, including Everdon, Northamptonshire.  Gray is buried at St Giles. John Penn of Stoke had built a large monument displaying the Elegy nearby.”  As for the card, unused, aged, unattributed, unnumbered, and clean.  Grade: 1
