No extant memorial in St Martin-in-the-Fields
As Parkinson was buried in St Martin-in-the-Fields, London, on 6 August 1650, I e-mailed the church to find out whether there exists a monument to him there today. Unfortunately, there isn't. My e-mail correspondence with the Parish Clerk, Chris Brooker, is appended below. &mdash; Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 02:07, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Dear Sirs/Mesdames,

I am one of the many volunteer editors of Wikipedia, and have recently been updating an article on the 17th-century English apothecary and botanist John Parkinson (1567-1650) (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Parkinson_(botanist) ). Parkinson died in the summer of 1650 and was buried on 6 August 1650 in St-Martin-in-the-Fields. I was wondering if you were able to confirm if there is an extant memorial to Parkinson in the church today which may be photographed for inclusion in the article.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards, Jack Lee

Dear Jack Lee,

Sorry but No. The present church was built in the 1720's and in the process we lost records of where all the original burials were recorded (including Nell Gwynne). We do have ledger slabs from earlier memorials, but the architect of the new church used them as paving stones and we have no clear record of what is where.

Dear Mr Brooker,

Ah, what a shame! Nonetheless, thank you for your prompt reply.

I'm pretty certain that the image is of Gaspard Bauhin. Rotational (talk) 17:52, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Really? The image was already in the article before I started expanding it. I guess someone will have to check Agnes Arber's book Herbals (1912) from which it was taken. Have to say, though, that the picture doesn't look very much like the one of Bauhin in the article about him. &mdash; Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 18:42, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Set your Google on image mode and google "Theatrum Botanicum": this image is cut from the frontispiece. --Wetman (talk) 12:07, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Park-in-Sun was a deliberate pun - perhaps it's worth a mention.......Rotational (talk) 05:12, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Mystery over the image is solved, then. The "Park-in-Sun" pun is mentioned. &mdash; Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 13:49, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
