Graveyard of St Marys Church, Isaac Solly, stone casket grave, 27-05-1819, with sad lions
The tomb of Isaac Solly, St Mary's Churchyard St Mary's Church is very much at the centre of Walthamstow Village - an Essex village which has been engulfed in the London sprawl. The west tower, aisles and chancel chapels were built during the reign of Henry VIIIth. The church was altered and enlarged in 1818 and again in 1843. On 6th April 1673 Richard Penn and on 4th March 1681 Lady Penn were buried. They were the brother and mother of William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania. Isaac Solly died on February 4th 1802 aged 77 and he certainly has a very distinctive tomb with the sad lions and the tomb resting on lions' feet. This tomb is in the western half of the churchyard, beyond the path which separates it from the church.
