...and could tell me the name of the cemetry near to where Bleriot crashed after his cross Channel flight - apparently it's just behind the castle... Thanks Sheila

There's a memorial at Northfall Meadow in Dover which marks where he came down. Maybe someone with more local knowledge will be able to get it from that. Lizzie

St Mary's in Castro is within the walls of Dover Castle. There is another St Mary's in the town, St Mary the Virgin. I can't find a map with cemeteries marked but maybe this site will help. http://www.dover.gov.uk/burials/#gen Gwyn
