Summary

Description
English: Bampfylde Memorial Garden, North Molton churchyard, Devon. Created in memory of Hon. (Coplestone) John de Grey Warwick Bampfylde (1914–1936), whose gravestone stands in the centre of the small lawn, only son and heir apparent George Wentworth Warwick Bampfylde, 4th Baron Poltimore (1882–1965) of Poltimore and Court House, North Molton (the roof of an outbuilding of which is visible here behind (east of) the garden). He was an officer in the Royal Horseguards and predeceased his father, having died aged 23 in a horse-racing accident shortly after his return from representing his country at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games in the fencing team. His death caused his father to lose heart and prompted him to emigrate to Rhodesia and to abandon his North Molton estate, held by his ancestors for 400 years, to which he never returned. In recent years the garden has received burials of villagers of North Molton, as space in the churchyard has become scarce.
