Walton's graveby leics -
Fishy side-chapelby leics
If you are into fishing you may well have heard of Izaac Walton.
In 1653 he wrote 'The Compleat Angler', which is by far his best known work (he wrote other things too, including biographies), weaving fishing information, quotations, folklore and folk songs into the story of three friends travelling through the English countryside.
Walton was born in Stafford in 1593 and died in 1683. He is buried in a quiet side-chapel in Winchester cathedral (a floorslab marks his grave); when I visited it was (appropriately) decorated with fishy works of art.
