Olive Parr
Olive Parr wrote under the pen name of Beatrice Chase. Look on the other side of the stone monument. Was she related to Catherine Parr?
She died in 1955. The small granite cross on her grave is inscribed with Beatrice Chase on one side and Olive Katharine Parr on the other. Locals tell a story that she was taken to hospital in a straight jacket, but only after the loaded revolver she kept by her bed was taken away.
Widecombe in the Moor, St. Pancras.
